A/N: Hi, you all may no me as being the author of "Rose Resurrected" I'm still working on that so don't worry. However after watching Onion Friend and dealing with my Pearlmethyst obsession I decided upon this story, I hope you all enjoy it. I will warn you, my updates will not be regular they will most likely come at very random times so don't expect a new chapter every day or even week especially since I am going on a few vacations this summer.
Highschool AU. An Amethyst, Vidalia and Greg party don't end till the sun come up, but that was never necessarily a good thing. After a school party goes dreadfully wrong for Amethyst, she finds friendship in Pearl all the while struggling with some pent of feelings she fears are unreturned.
Amethyst loved parties. Especially Amethyst and Vidalia parties, those went on to the sun came up, or at least that was how she described them. The two had been granted permission to rent the gymnasium at their high school, Crystal High. Amethyst and Vidalia had invited all the students including the bookworm Pearl who they doubted would show due to her introverted tendancies. So Amethyst was only shocked when Pearl strode into the gymnasium at 7 pm that evening. Her strawberry blond hair was tied back in a bun and she wore a pale blue strapless dress that reached her knees. Amethyst greeted her with a compliment, "P, you look stunning."
Pearl gave a light laugh, "Takes one to know one." She said glancing at Amethyst's outfit; a denim skirt and a light purple top, causing Amethyst to blush, "Is Rose here? "
Amethyst nodded her head and gestured toward the right of the gymnasium, "She's over there with Greg." Which indeed Rose was holding Greg's hand as she leaned down to kiss him. Pearl frowned before rushing over in that direction to oggle over Rose as usual. Amethyst headed over to the snack table and poured herself some punch drinking it quickly. Vidalia, was in the corner alternating with making out with Marty, (her on again off again boyfriend) and chugging a bottle of alcohol she had brought. "It's time to play spin the bottle!" Vidalia yowled as she raised her empty beer bottle into the air. The majority of the party cheered in approval. Vidalia placed the empty bottle in the center of the room and ushered people to form a circle around it. In the circle was Greg and Rose, who were holding hands, Marty, Garnet, Lapis Lazuli who was held down by Jasper and Peridot and to everyone's surprise Pearl. She probably just wants to kiss Rose, Amethyst thought to herself. Amethyst stood on the sidelines, a cup of punch in her hands. Vidalia waved her over, "Hey Amethyst come join us!"
Amethyst took another sip from the punch and nodded her head joining the circle next to Pearl. First Vidalia spun the bottle it hit Greg and the two leaned in for a quick kiss that the circle cheered to. This went on for a while, more undesired pairings locking lips for mere seconds and the bottle moving to it's next target. The bottle soon arrived at Pearl as Amethyst watched curiously about who she would be chuckling about Pearl, the book worm who she was pretty sure had never been kissed, having to kiss. What she didn't expect was that the bottle would land on her. Pearl leaned in and kissed Amethyst while the purple gem was frozen in place. Once Pearl pulled away, Amethyst stood up and walked away grabbing her cup of punch "Ammy come back!" Vidalia said as she rolled the bottle to Amethyst.
Amethyst kicked the bottle back to Vidalia before replying, "I don't feel like it." and gloomy strolling back to the bar, it was then that Marty rushed towards her dumping the rest of his punch on her head, "Loser." He muttered under his breath. Amethyst cringed when she felt the warm punch drip down her body. But she kept on walking away from the circle, from the distance she heard the sound of a slap, it was likely Vidalia slapping Marty as usual but within that same instance she heard a moan from Vidalia she turned around to witness Vidalia making out with Marty again, yup she was drunk. Amethyst tried to ignore them rushing away from the circle and sitting the corner of the gymnasium as she buried her head in her hands. She covered both her eyes with her hair and began to cry softly.
Bolting away from the circle was Pearl, after all the commotion she didn't feel the most welcome or comfortable anyway. "Amethyst!" She called as she searched the room. Pearl put her hands to her mouth and sniffled, It's my fault she's upset, I shouldn't have kissed her during that game. Pearl then finally found Amethyst, the purple gem was curled up in a ball, head in hands. Pearl slowly walked over to Amethyst and sat down next to her. "What?" Amethyst replied refusing to look at Pearl.
"I'm so stupid." Pearl replied quickly.
"You're not stupid, I'm the stupid one." Amethyst replied peering up from her hands.
Pearl wrapped an arm around Amethyst's shoulder, "Let's make a deal then, how about neither of us are stupid." Amethyst quickly nodded her head as tears streamed down her cheeks, "I'm sorry." Pearl said, "I really shouldn't have kissed you."
Amethyst continued to cry, "I just wanted to be cool."
Pearl gave Amethyst a look, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, look at them Greg, Marty and Vidalia, being like them, part of their group was always my aspiration." Amethyst took a deep breath, "I'm such a loser..."
"No, Amethyst, you're not a loser. Do you know how jealous of you I am? You get to talk with the beautiful Rose Quartz, she' so gorgeous and nice, I don't think she knows who I even am though." Pearl lamented before finishing consoling Amethyst "You have friends, you aren't a nerd who no one likes, like me."
"As if they're my friends, they treat me like a child." Amethyst retorted crying some more.
Pearl bit her lip, "Amethyst," Pearl started quietly. "What if you became my friend?" Pearl asked quickly as she brought herself closer to the purple gem.
For the second time that evening Amethyst actually smiled taking Pearl's hand in her own and replying, "Yeah, I'd really like that."
