It was Wednesday. Lapis was on her way to the cafeteria when she decided not to eat there. She had stopped talking to Steven after what she had said the other day. Yesterday, when Steven would try and talk to her she would tell him she had to study and leave. He looked hurt and sad but she ignored it. He would prefer being with Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet anyway.

She had noticed this past two days that Jasper was nowhere to be found bullying people. She knew the girl was coming to school because she saw her at class. She would look at her from the corner of her eye. She looked tired, but calm. She was going to class, but was nowhere to be found during lunch. Usually the girl could be heard bullying younger kids or could be seen in the cafeteria making a ruckus. This week there had been no bullying. Since no one had seen Jasper, none of the other bullies who looked up to her bothered people. All they wondered was what had happened to Jasper.

Lapis was appalled. This was what she wanted. No bullies bullying anymore. And it was happening at least on the last week of school. She didn't know if it had to do with her, but at least if it did, she had impacted Jasper in a way. She wouldn't believe that it was because of what she told Jasper, though.

She wasn't hungry so she decided to skip lunch. She passed by the stairs to the roof. She hadn't gone there for a while, she thought she should at least visit it before she left school. She ascended the stairs and opened the door, expecting no one to be there.

Lapis went outside and leaned against the railing, looking at the city. She wondered where she would be off to next. She wouldn't miss this place, but she would at least remember it as the school that left a big mark on her.

"So, you still come up here?"

Lapis looked to her side and found Peridot some spaces away from her also looking at the surroundings. "Peridot?"

Peridot turned her head to Lapis and continued to speak. "How was the dance?"

How did she know she had gone to the dance? "It was...nice. How do you know I went?"

"I overheard you talking. Everything has worked out for you then?"

They had, in a way. "I guess..." They stood in silence for some time looking at the landscape. Lapis thought about asking Peridot about Jasper, but decided not to. She should at least tell her she was leaving, though.

"I know...I know you probably don't care, but I at least want to tell you. I'm changing schools, so I won't be here next year."

Peridot looked at her, her eyes unflinching. "Really? Well, it was nice meeting you then."

"I...just wanted to tell you, since I thought you should know."

Peridot didn't say a word, not looking at Lapis. Lapis sighed, not having the guts to ask her about Jasper. "Guess I'll be seeing you then." She concluded, leaving the roof.

When Lapis left, Peridot turned around and took out her phone. She tried calling Jasper, but there was no signal. "Ugh..." She said. Guess she had to go see her.

Peridot entered the gym where the basketball team was practicing. She sat on the bleachers and waited for Jasper to finish her practice. When they were done, the other members left but the coach talked to Jasper, telling her that if she failed her classes she would be kicked out of the team. Jasper made a face.

"I'm gonna fail anyway. Can't do anything anymore. So kick me out, if you want." The coach stood speechless and Jasper left. She picked up a towel, then saw Peridot sitting at the bleachers. She walked over to her.

"What happened? You never come to watch me practice."

"I ran into Lapis on the roof."

Jasper sat down next to Peridot, looking at her strangely. "...And?"

"We talked, and she told me she won't be staying for next year."

Jasper's eyes widened. "She's...leaving?" Peridot nodded.

Jasper was worried about not being able to talk to Lapis ever again, but she would at least see her around. But now, she would never see Lapis again.

"...Damn."

"I thought you should now, even if you're over her."

This was the worst. She would never get a chance to resolve things with Lapis. Lapis hated her and she had promised to never bother her again, so she couldn't tell her goodbye. This few days would be the last time she'll ever see her.

She really needed to get over Lapis now.
