Chapter 3: Lapis Lazuli Part 2: An innocent Question
(Disclaimer!)
Ugh. Mondays. Christ I am not a fan of Monday's.
And to make matters worst, it just started raining. What a drag.
As I make my way to the studio I caught Jade walking by and decided to join her.
Lucky for me, I don't have to carry my bass around, though I do feel sorry for her.
When we got to the door, I decided to open it up for her.
"Pleasant day eh?" I say sarcastically as she runs in the door.
"Oh it is nuts out there," she said as she shakes her hair getting the wetness out.
"You don't suppose we'll get in trouble for being late do you?" I ask a bit shy.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that," Amber said walking by and winking, "She rarely gets mad about anything.
I blush at the thought that I've caught favor with Jasper.
I've often been daydreaming about her in class ever since I met her.
I have no idea why considering her obnoxious behavior.
I sigh as I enter the room.
"Sorry I'm late" I said sheepishly.
"Eh no worries," Jasper said, "More than often I'm late myself."
I roll my eyes a little less dramatic than usual. She's never late.
Maybe this was her attempt to make me feel better. I blush.
"Man it's hot in here" I say embarrassed as I feel the burn creep up in my cheeks.
"I'll say," Amber said taking off her shirt.
"They should definitely turn the ac on this week... especially with the rain... the humidity is suffocating" I say as I take a swig of water.
Amber looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You take your shirt off too Lapis." She said grinning, "For all we know you're probably getting hot.
"You know I won't" I said clenching onto my fathers flannel.
Jasper was looking at me with a smirk.
"I was talking about your tank top, duh," Amber said.
"Yeah, we're all girls here Lapis, just show off some skin."
"I know you're just wanting to see my boobs," I said covering my chest, "You perv."
"You wear a bra under it right?"
"Can we just get to practice?" I asked slightly annoyed.
(To the 4th Wall) My god, its like having my breasts stared at has become a running gag.
Amber jumped on the drum kit mocking me.
"A one, a two, a skillylilly do!"
I started singing the first song of the playlist and I couldn't keep my eyes off Jasper.
Amber was grinning knowing something was bound to happen.
As we got to the second song, Jasper was looking at me while I didn't notice.
After a few hours we finally got to the last song.
"Awesome job everybody!" I said.
Emerald gave us all a thumbs up.
Later I was packing up my stuff and was about to leave before Amber stopped me.
"Can I speak to you in private?"
"Um… yea," I said following her.
We were in another room.
"Ok spill it. You like JAsper," Amber said.
"Wha?" I asked confused, "I think you've mistaken me for Jade."
"Well I think I'm not buying it," Amber retorted.
"Well, why do you wanna know?" I asked impatiently.
"Lapis, come on. You really think I didn't catch you making goo goo eyes at Jasper as you were singing?"
"You sound ridiculous Amber... besides... Jasper has her pick of anyone..." I let out a sigh then realized who was standing right behind me.
Amber grinned.
"Heys guys," Jasper said coming in, "There a problem?"
"No, no problem at all," I said nervously.
"Yeah just girl talk," Amber said grinning at me.
"What the hell? Y'all are being weird" jasper said as she flipped her hair.
Amber giggled.
"Well if you're done I'd like to have a word with you" she said looking at me.
"Um sure" I said shyly watching Amber walk out of the room after squeezing my shoulder with encouragement.
She then walked away.
"So listen Lapis, we've been talking and jamming for quite a while now."
"Well yea and its been fun" i said blushing, "With the exception of having my chest stared at"
"And I was wondering something," Jasper said smiling.
"Yes?" I said now smiling.
"So, I thought now is the time to ask you a question," Jasper said, "I was wondering if you'd... like to go out sometime."
"I'd love to!" I said excitedly.
