lmao i wasn't going to continue this but i got some ideas so...whatever
The next day Lapis tried to avoid as much contact with anyone as possible. When some of her bullies would come talk to her she would avoid them rapidly and enter the classroom early. If they tried to beat her up later for ignoring her (which she had never done), fine, seeing as what happened yesterday, she knew she could take them on. Good thing her first class was biology, where the teacher always arrived early and was very strict.
What she was really worrying about was about math class. After she had punched Jasper and left, she had felt great for finally letting some of her steam out, but now she didn't know if that was safe for her. She didn't know Jasper, what if she came after her? What if she wanted revenge for yesterday? Lapis tried to act tough yesterday, but now she felt like she always did; hopeless. Whatever, Jasper could have come after her yesterday if she wanted to and she didn't, so Lapis wished that meant she wasn't angry about it.
Morning passed on as usual. Now it was lunch time. She almost never ate in the cafeteria if she could avoid it, she took her food and ate in a secluded spot on the school roof. Some people would sometimes go there, but they almost never noticed her. Today, she did just that. She wanted to avoid as much people as possible. When she took her food, she noticed the younger boy sitting with the three girls. They seemed to be really happy together. Lapis sighed, if Steven was happy with those girls, then she would be happy for him too.
As she opened the door to the roof, she peered outside to see if anyone was there. Nobody. She entered and quickly made her way behind the entrance, where there was a couple of boxes and a broken school chair. She sat there and ate her meatball sandwich silently. After some time, she heard the door open. 'Crap' Lapis thought. She was very pessimistic, so she thought it could be the bullies looking for her. She really hoped not, anything but that.
She was right. "Lapis! There you are! What happened this morning?" Three girls came towards her, the same ones she had ignored this morning. "Were you ignoring us? We just wanted to talk with you, that's all!" Lapis ate the last of her sandwich and stood up, ready to run away, but they had her corned. Drat! Why did they hate her so much? "Look you guys, I'm sorry, it was my mistake, I won't do it again." She tried to explain. "Oh, don't worry Lapis, we won't hurt you, we just want you to understand that you shouldn't do that to us, ok?" One of the girls said. It was them three against her. She had punched Jasper yesterday, and she was supposedly the strongest in the school, but that wasn't enough for her to get the courage to fight them. But she really didn't want to get beat up. She had no choice.
"...Fine. Come at me." Lapis said. "What? Did she just talk back to us? You do know we're your seniors, right? You do not talk back to us, and for that you're getting what you deserve!" The three girls came at her. She quickly dodged a punch coming to her face, so she kicked the girl in the stomach. Before she could recover, another punch was sent this time to her back, which hit her. She fell to the floor. "Damn, are you made of steel? That hurt, you know!" The girl who hit her was caressing her hand. "God, look at her, so pathetic. So much talk, for what?" One of the girls came to her and before Lapis could try to get up, the girl stopped her with her foot. "You think you can beat us, you think you're strong? Your not!" The girl kept on with her foot, Lapis tried to get up but to no avail. The other girls laughed. "Come on, girls I think we should show this weakling what she deserves." They were getting ready to kick her when the door opened.
"She's not weak"
The three girls turned around and gasped. Lapis turned her head up to see who came in. She should have known by her voice. Jasper stood their, looking as intimidating and strong as always, with a foul scowl on her face. "It's three against one, who wouldn't lose against that?" She said. Then she smirked. " Oh yeah, me." The girl who had her foot in her back stopped and the three girls stepped away from Lapis. "Jasper, it wasn't us! That stupid girl mocked us, she made fun of us! She started it." Lapis stood up. What a surprise, this girls looked up to Jasper, the queen of all bullies, even though she was younger than them. "Knock it off, that's no excuse to gang up on her. Just go, I don't wanna see your ugly faces anymore." The three girls left quickly. Their loud voices could still be heard saying things like "I can't believe Jasper talked to us." and "Too bad we couldn't show her what we were made of, why would she defend that stupid girl?"
Lapis grabbed her backpack which was still near the school chair and was ready to leave without saying a word to Jasper. She didn't care if she saved her, she doesn't want to associate with her. At least it seems that she didn't want to beat her up, or maybe she wanted those girls to leave so she could do it herself. Lapis didn't care. She knew she could take on one person at least.
"Why didn't you stop them?" Jasper said. Lapis just kept on walking to the door. When she was about to open the door, Jasper grabbed her wrist. "Let got of me" Lapis said calmly and looked at Jasper. "You could have stopped them." Lapis didn't want to hear this from her. "What would you know? Didn't you call me weak yesterday?" Jasper smirked. "Yeah and you gave me one hell of a punch." She was still holding on to her. "You can stand up to them, don't you want revenge for all the things they've done to you?" Lapis stared at those glowing yellow eyes. Why was Jasper, who never talked to her, saying this to her? She had to have a reason. She just wanted to take advantage of Lapis, like everybody else. Jasper loosened her grip and Lapis took back her hand. Her wrist was getting swollen. Didn't she notice how hard she grabbed her? What a joke, Lapis wouldn't trust a bigger bully than those girls like her. "No. I told you to stop bothering me." Jasper was about to say something but Lapis stepped on her foot. "Ow! What the hell?" Jasper looked up and Lapis had already left.
'Sheesh.' Jasper thought. 'Here I am giving her advice and she takes it wrongly.' Jasper decided to clear up her mind and sat in the school chair. That girl was so hard to understand for Jasper. She let other people bully her and she almost got beat up today, but when it comes to her, she responds aggressively and defends herself. She laughed by herself. I guess that's kind of what I wanted, if only she would stop those girls from bothering her, then I could be the only one to do it.
Somehow, Jasper didn't think that was a good idea. If Lapis did stop people from bullying her, and she started doing it, either Lapis would kill her or she would be doing the same thing those girls did. Which Jasper didn't want. The truth is, Jasper didn't know how to talk to the girl in any other way. She really had no friends, apart from Peridot, and she wasn't sure if that what really having a friend was like. Jasper hadn't thought about it, but this was the first time she wanted someone to be her friend. Or something. She just wanted Lapis to talk her and be around her. That's what friends are right? But how was she going to make Lapis her friend when she didn't even know how to be...nice? Is that the word? To anyone. 'This is bad.' Jasper thought. 'This brat is changing me completly.' She needed to do something about it.
