I wanted this to be a one-shot but figured it couldn't be if I wanted to include certain things so here goes another lapidot tale! Forgive me for flooding the tag with my stories...
Lapis had anger issues and was very happy to relieve the anger via breaking bones and smashing people into the ground. Whilst she couldn't do that in the middle of class, she could wait for the final bell to ring and go looking for trouble. She was failing a few classes and was warned by the principal that if she didn't shape up she would have to repeat her senior year all over again! She needed a nerd on her side, but being feared usually didn't help in that department nor did it help that your rival was best friends with the smartest girl in the entire school.
Peridot was a gifted student who enjoyed being smart and spending time with her best friends Pearl and Jasper. She enjoyed the outings with the group of girls and silly little sleepovers they would have, so you could imagine the un-comfort in her being when Lapis sauntered over and gently tapped her shoulder wearing what she thought was a kind smile yet others would perceive it as a beast eyeing it's prey.
"Hello there Peridot, my name is Lapis Lazuli." Lapis extended her hand out and smiled softer as the blonde in front of her nervously shook her hand. Lapis thought she looked cute in her blue jeans and green top with a flannel. She hoped her outfit of a black and blue beanie with a black pull over hoodie wouldn't fully frighten the poor girl. "I've only recently moved to this school and already i'm in dire need of tutoring. I hear your a very intelligent woman and I was wondering if you could teach me a few things?" Peridot kept her notebook in front of her face seeing as it would be rude to open her locker door and hide behind it. "I don't bite, not at first." Lapis shot Peridot a wink and made the blonde blush only to see her eyes grow wide at seeing Lapis pinned against the locker by her friend Jasper.
"Fuck off Lazuli, don't touch my friends." Jasper growled out only to get a punch to the nose and a snarl from the beanie wearing teen.
"Don't command me you bitch! Just because I finally moved here doesn't mean your my fucking boss!" Jasper rubbed her nose before letting Lapis back on her feet. Returning the smile to her face Lapis turned to see Peridot shaking and scrambling behind Jasper. "Think it over please? I could really use the help and I can pay you for your time, one way or another." Lapis shot her one more wink before bumping into Jasper and heading out the back doors towards her home. Peridot calmed down and walk in front of Jasper offering a hug unto which the giant woman accepted and lifted Peridot making her yelp.
"You alright Peri? That was the punk I told you about from over the summer." Jasper mumbled setting the blonde down and rubbing her back.
"I'm fine Jasper, she was kind of intimidating but if she needs help then I think I just may-"
"NO!" Peridot shook at the outburst but eased back into comfort as she noticed the fright on Jasper's face. "She's not trust worthy Peri believe me, that little bitch is two-faced somehow I just know it." Pearl had walked over at the commotion and smacked jasper's arm getting her to stop being so loud.
"What's the problem over here that I can hear you on the other side of the building?!" Pearl demanded sending an angry look at the now ashamed Jasper. "You better not be starting fights again."
"I wasn't Pearl sheesh!" Jasper grumbled looking away and stuffing her hands in her jacket pocket. Pearl rolled her eyes but hugged the tall woman regardless earning a blush out of the taller woman. "Lapis was trying to convince Peridot to be her tutor and I was merely warning her about Lapis' behavior is all."
"I don't know who this Lapis is but you should still trust Peridot to make her own decision. Do what you feel is right Peridot." Pearl commented hugging the blonde tightly. Peridot smiled at both women and nodded before putting her books away and heading to her own home. Later that night she decided to update her facebook and noticed a friend request from Lapis. She was still very uncomfortable with the woman so she had decided to just simply message her about how sorry she was that Jasper had shoved her into the lockers and was considering taking Lapis up on her offer.
'Let me know tomorrow please, I would like for us to start as soon as possible. Getting lessons from a cutie makes it all the more enjoyable anyway.'
Peridot blushed and closed out of every tab before turning off her labtop and going to bed. She felt this would be an interesting way to meet someone and besides it might be worth telling her teachers about in case it would give her extra credit of some sort.
