Hey everybody! I'm back with some more Highschool Gang AU and I can't wait to see what you all think of this third chapter so enjoy you guys.

Chapter 3

The next morning everyone woke up and got ready for school, after breakfast everyone hopped into their respected vehicles. Amethyst has a motorcycle which Steven rides with her while Garnet and Pearl take the car, they all drive to school and park in their places then head for their lockers. At their lockers they were confronted by Jasper and a couple of her friends including Peridot and Lapis.

"Say Garnet, you wouldn't know who that little tagger on your side is would you?" Jasper asked.

"No I don't, must have been a new recruit or something" Garnet answered standing her ground, Pearl and Amethyst stood beside her as well.

"You need to get better control of your group or there will be trouble" Jasper replied.

"You need to get out of my face before there is trouble here" Garnet replied.

"Ha, see you at basketball practice" Jasper replied walking away with the others.

"Hey Garnet! What was that about?" Steven asked running up to them after going to his locker.

"Nothing for you to worry about, get to class and we'll see you at lunch" Garnet replied.

"Okay see you later guys" Seven replied running off.

"Jasper is so going to get it tonight" Amethyst replied.

"You will do no such thing Amethyst" Pearl ordered.

"That'a not a bad idea, let's meet up in the shopping area and I'll talk to Jasper. If she agrees we'll have a tagger competition between Amethyst and Lapis" Garnet explained.

"Oh yeah, then I can embarrass her on her own turf" Amethyst replies.

"But if Amethyst participates Jasper will know she was the one tagging their buildings" Pearl responded.

"We need someone with muscle, someone intimidating" Garnet replied.

"Sugilite is intimidating" Amethyst replied.

"She is worse than Jasper" Pearl replied.

"She is our only candidate, we have no one else as big as Jasper" Garnet replied.

"Fine but I can tell this will not be good" Pearl sighed

"It'll be fine P" Amethyst replied.

"Yeah, let's get to class" Garnet replied wrapping an arm around Pearl's shoulder and they started walking to their classes. At lunch the gang got together and sat at their table to talk while Jasper and her group sat on the other side of the cafeteria. There were a lot of gang members at school and that means there was a lot of tension between the two so the cafeteria was basically a silent battleground.

"It's always so quite and tense around here, did anyone else notice this?" Steven asked.

"It's probably some kids with teenage angst, they know how to make everyone feel down" Amethyst replied.

"I don't know, the other group is looking at us funny" Steven replied.

"Ignore them, they are none of our concern at the moment" Garnet replied.

"What you should worry about Steven is eating your food before Amethyst gets it" Pearl added looking at Amethyst as she was just about to take Steven's sandwich then she pulled her hand away.

"Oh thanks Pearl" Steven replied. He picked it up and was about to take a bite when he saw Connie walk in, "wait here guys," he added getting up and walking over to Connie

"It's that girl again, should we stop him?" Pearl asked.

"No, let's just see how it plays out first then we'll get in if it gets serious" Garnet answered.

With Steven

"Hey Connie" Steven greeted stopping at her table.

"Oh hey Steven, need something?" Connie asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to, I don't know, catch a movie with me or something?" Steven asked.

"Sorry kid, Connie has other arrangements tonight" Jasper replied.

"Ohh sorry for interrupting your lunch" Steven replied.

"So your name is Steven, what's your last name?" Lapis asked.

"My name is Steven Quartz Universe" Steven answered.

"Wait Quartz?!" Peridot exclaimed.

"Your mother is The Rose Quartz?!" Jasper asked.

"Y-Yeah" Steven answered nervously.

"Well that changes everything now doesn't it guys?" Jasper asked getting up and grabbing Steven by his shirt lifting him up. She saw the Crystal Gems get up and ran over.

"Let him go Jasper, he is none of your business" Garnet ordered.

"The son of my leader's arch rival is not my business? That's saying something" Jasper replied dropping Steven.

"Arch rival? What is she talking about you guys?" Steven asked.

"We'll explain it to you later, in the meantime we should clean up our table" Garnet replied.

"Okay" Steven agreed.

"Bye Steven" Connie replied.

"Bye Connie" Steven replied following the others. After school Steven met up with the others at the Temple and he was going to answers from the others no matter how hard he has to try. Steven walked into the living room to see Amethyst sitting in a bean bag while Garnet and Pearl took the couch, Steven took the spot across from all of them and it was silent for a few minutes until Garnet spoke,

"What do you want to know first Steven?" Garnet asked surprisingly calm.

"What are you guys really? Is this something more than just a group? And what did Jasper mean when she said arch rivals?" Steven asked.

"One at a time Steven, we were trying to protect you like your mother asked but it seems we failed her" Pearl replied.

"We're a gang Steven, but we are meant to protect you so it's not a bad thing" AMethyst answered.

"About what Jasper said, your mother was leader of the Crystal Gems and Yellow Diamond was the leader of the Homeworld Gems. YD for short hated your mother for reasons we don't know, after your mother met your father and you were born Rose left for some business out of town but there was an accident. She lived but she refused to become the leader again so she could protect her son so she ordered us three and some others to make sure nothing bad happens to you. We never wanted you to find out because we didn't know how you would react to the information" Garnet explained.

"Please don't hate us, you have to understand that we're doing this for you and your mother" Pearl added.

"So you decided to keep this hidden from me this whole time instead of telling me?" Steven asked on the verge of tears.

"We couldn't risk you getting hurt, about a year ago our gang and Jasper's gang had a turf war. Many people were injured, people you and Amethyst's age and it took awhile for either side to build up again. We don't want another war like that so we decided to stay low and calm down doing only what's necessary for us to survive" Garnet added.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm going to bed" Steven replied walking up the stairs.

"This was a terrible idea, how could we do this to him?" AMethyst asked.

"He's still young Amethyst, he doesn't understand what we're going through and I don't want him to" Garnet answered.

"What would Rose think of us now that her son knows about all of this?" Pearl asked.

"I'll call her and explain it to her, I'm the more stable one out of all of us and the leader" Garnet answered.

"Did you talk to Jasper about the tagging competition?"Amethyst asked trying to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah, she's agreed to it" Garnet answered.

"Great, now we can get her back for letting out our secret" Amethyst replied.

"Revenge isn't the answer Amethyst" PEarl scolded.

"In this case it is, we need to teach Jasper she can't just let people's secrets out when she feels like it" Garnet replied.

"That's what I'm talking about G" AMethyst exclaimed.

"Well you two do that, I will not be a part of that" Pearl replied going to her room.

"She'll come around, now onto the plan" Garnet replied. Amethyst and Garnet spent most of the night discussing their plans while Steven slept up in his room and Pearl sat in the bed looking at a picture of the others and Rose before Steven was born.

"What do we do Rose? I wish you were here to help us" Pearl replied.
