"Where is that little brat anyway?" Jasper was getting impatient. She better not have ditched them or she'll regret it.
Then both Peridot and Jasper saw Lapis going up the bleachers. "You're late. Why did you leave us?" Jasper asked crossing her arms. Lapis shrugged. "I had to go to the bathroom." She stood in front of them, wondering where to seat. Jasper kind of hoped she would seat next to her.
Lapis opted in on sitting next to Peridot. Jasper gritted her teeth and Peridot stuck her tongue out.
"So...this is hanging out?" Lapis asked quietly.
"Yeah I guess, if you like the sun in your face and the shouts of kids hitting themselves with balls." Peridot grumbled.
They were quiet for some time. Jasper decided to lay down and sleep for a while.
"Actually...I wanted to ask you something." The soft voice of Lapis's voice almost lured Jasper to sleep. Except Peridot's screechy mechanical voice just woke her up. "What? What is it?"
"I was just wondering...How did Jasper know I was in the roof that day?"
Jasper's eyes opened and she rolled to the side, moving her hair to her eyes to try to hide her shock. Shit, she couldn't tell Lapis she was following her. That would sound stalkerish and creepy. It was all Peridot's idea though. God! She hoped Peridot didn't say anything weird.
"I'm sleeping. Not talking now." Jasper made a fake yawn.
Peridot rolled her eyes and looked at Lapis. "I was with her, of course, we saw those girls going up to the roof and we knew something was up. I told Jasper to go and check and I stayed to keep watch of teachers." Jasper almost laughed. Peridot was such a liar.
"So then Jasper saw those girls had gone into the roof and behind the door heard them talking to you. And you know the rest." That part was the truth. Everything was almost correct except the fact that they saw Lapis and Peridot told her to follow her, so she did. She saw her going to the roof and then saw the other girls following her.
"Oh, I see. I figured something like that happened." Lapis said. Jasper really hoped she believed it and didn't think Jasper was creepy or anything.
"Yep, Jasper arrived just in time. Amazing, no?" Peridot said yawning with boredom.
"Yeah, I guess I should thank her. So...thanks Jasper, I know you're trying to sleep but thanks."
Jasper felt her face getting red. Had anyone ever thanked her? People only told her she was great or that she was scary, but no one had even said thank you, and the way she said her name made Jasper want to die. She hated having emotions.
Jasper grumbled something and continued to "sleep". Peridot looked at her watch. "Class is starting soon. Let's go, or are you cutting Jasper?"
Jasper didn't answer. "Guess you're cutting. Come on, Lapis."
They both made their way into the school and Lapis looked back at Jasper one more time.
She smirked. This was perfect. If Jasper did have a crush on her, she could completely use this to her advantage. The strongest in school had a crush on some weird nerd girl, anyone's reputation would fall after that. All she need to do was make sure that Jasper liked her, and then make her fall completely for her. Then she could ruin Jasper's fame, and become the most intimidating person in the school.
But, Lapis can't recall someone ever having a crush on her, or that she'd known. This would be the first time she knew someone who liked her, which was strangely nice. Too bad it had to be the asshole of all assholes. Lapis kind of wondered why she liked her when she had never even spoken to her. Was it the punch? Was Jasper secretly a masochist? Maybe she'll know someday. Still, she couldn't lose sight of her goal, and she would make Jasper fall for her completely. Lapis had never fallen for anyone, and she wouldn't now, especially not a gross, disgusting, evil, mean, horrible jock like Jasper. She would bet her life on that.
