Hello everyone! Thank you for all your reviews, I really love hearing what you have to say and so far I am pleased to hear you all are liking the story, I honestly didn't think anyone would like it but apparently I was wrong. Someone asked if steven was fifteen and yes he is and a freshman in high school just to answer that for you.

Thank you and let's get into it

Chapter 3 School life

Steven heard his alarm clock turn on to the weather station but he just groaned and put his pillow over his head 'oh my god I really don't want to go and deal with idiots today I'm too tired' he thought. The poor kid had spent all night writing that stupid English paper something about figurative language which let me tell you is pretty hard to write about on its own but is even harder when you don't even understand half of it, I mean imagery is easy to remember but the rest screw that.

'Man seven in the morning is way too early' he grumbled as he got up and when over to his dresser to get another pair of black jeans he had for school. 'I hate that we have to wear uniforms now we didn't have to in middle school' he thought, 'well actually it's not as bad as other schools I guess, at least we can wear any button up we want and can wear jeans as long as their dark and our shirts are tucked in'.

He walked downstairs once finished dressing he had on the same clothes as he did yesterday except the button up was gray now. Lapis was in the kitchen watching the little tv they had on the small circular table they used as a dining table, his father was there too seated at the table having some coffee and a plate of pancakes, sausage and bacon, made by lapis of course.

Lapis noticed him first and smiled at him 'good morning steven would you like anything special for breakfast' she asked, he just smiled back 'no that's alright you know I don't eat a lot in the mornings' he replied which by all means was true he just couldn't really eat in the mornings because his stomach just wasn't up yet he supposed. Lapis just gave a fake annoyed look 'You know I wouldn't expect that considering that this man is your father' she said shooting his father a look, 'hey' his dad said 'Im a big guy I need just as much protein and vitamins as he does' Lapis just sighed and he laughed as he went over to the fridge and grabbed an apple out of the bag on top of it. He told lapis and his father that he'd see them after school and they both gave him a 'have a good day at school'.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and walked down the steps to the front door to the shop as he unlocked it he switched the sign from closed to open his father would be down in like four minutes tops it really didn't take him too long to inhale that food. He stepped out of the shop and looked up at the sky feeling the morning breeze the weather guy on his radio said it was going to be a beautiful day in Philadelphia, 'too bad im gonna spend it in school all day' he thought sometimes the teachers would let them out for lunch but that was when they felt like it even if it was nice outside. There was point earlier in the year when he really thought he was going insane but it was just a migraine, a really bad one but hey that's what happens when your dealing with idiots all day idiot students and annoying teachers.

He starting making his way down the street towards his school eating the apple, their shop and home getting farther in the distance, Greg Universe, lessons, recording and instruments for sale it read. He was really proud of his father he had accomplished a lot in his opinion they had come to this city with really nothing but an old van their a clothes and just a bit of money and well lapis of course, it didn't seem like they could really do anything but his father was determined for them to have a home and something they could live off of. And well here they were and from that day on he had never doubted his fathers determination, when he put his mind to it that guy could reach for the stars.

He just realized in all his thinking he had made it to the school, the place was a massive place built in the nineteen-forties, it had four floors including a basement where the gym was and the lunchroom on the first and the courtyard outside in the front, he took one last bite of the apple he had and threw it in the trash can nearby and leaned against a nearby wall waiting for them to open the doors, 'this is so stupid' he thought 'they know we come this early why don't they just let us in', but he knew why 'stupid metal detectors' every morning they made all students go through these things even if you were late now don't get him wrong he knew it was for safety and stuff it was just so…annoying.

He just took out his Nintendo ds from his messenger bag slung over his shoulder now on his side and started playing Mario cart. Soon the doors opened and all the hundreds of students piled in 'might as well get it over with' he started making his way through the crowd god this was such a pain in the ass to do. He had made his way through and it was his turn to go through he took out his android phone, his wallet, keys, watch and took off his star pendant that was around his neck. He went through the detector and what happened it went off of course and beeped, the security guard grabbed him by his arm and pulled him to the side and started patting him down, he heard some kids saying stuff about him like 'the freak probably brought in a gun or something' or 'he's probably likes having a dude touching him', he suddenly twisted his head around and gave them a glare that said 'I will cave your head in if you keep talking' but he noticed who was making those jokes and he started laughing it was those same punks from yesterday that he had showed up.

He grinned and asked the one that he had fought 'how's the foot I hope you aren't limping too much' the kid just got red 'as if I could get beat by you, I,I' he stammered 'just fell down some stairs. It took a second but then everyone started laughing, even some of the security guards, his boys that was what they called each other which was pretty gay in itself just stepped away from him like they didn't know him. The guard them handed him his bag and his stuff and he headed up to room two-twenty one his homeroom

Homeroom to him was just boring and was a waste of time to him another that changed since middle school back then as soon as you got in the building you could just go to class, another was that It really was a waste of time a period was forty-five minutes right, well because of homeroom school was added on another hour from seven to four now. At least you could do your homework, well if you're awake that is. He just walked into his homeroom gave a nod to the teacher and put his head down to take a catnap until the bell rang for classes to start.

The bell rang and he was slow to get up because damn that was a good catnap and made his way down the hall and to the right, first period was English the freakin class he had just spent all night righting a paper for. He entered the room and wasn't surprised that he was one of the first people there considering how close his homeroom was. More people started coming in and then the late bell rang signaling that anyone who came in now would be late. After the bell the teacher stood up from the seat at her desk and said 'alright I'm going to call each of you up and you will give me your paper. He raised an eyebrow at this 'wouldn't it just be easier for us to just turn in our papers all at once' he thought.

He just put his head down and waited for probably the most annoying English teacher no scratch that the most annoying teacher he ever had to call his name. Once it was called he walked up to her and gave her his paper.

'alright' she said 'I can already see something wrong with this' she said in that annoying way of hers.

'What's that' he said

'You were supposed to write a STORY with figurative language IN IT not just a paper about figurative language'

'You have got to be kidding me'

So yeah that's it just a little chapter about Stevens school life I just thought I might as well put that in, that is actually the most I have ever written in general, did not think it would be that long. I know it might be a little boring but don't worry the next chapter is going to be awesome.

Thank you for reading
