Yo W0lfWarroir, thanks for the great advice. I won't let you down. I do not own the song 'Kill our way to heaven'. I highly RECCOMEND you listen to it. It's NOT a rock song, even though it sounds like one.
It didn't take me that long to summarize the whole building and the concept of it. It was pretty aesthetic, the bathrooms were clean, and the classrooms were arranged properly. I still was upset about not accepting lapis's lunch request though.
The rest of the day went as planned, seeing some of my friends here and there, but somehow no sign of Lapis.
I was walking back home at a steady pace, each step echoing through the quite neibourhood. Garnet's comment lingered around my head like a spiderweb that mistakenly got stuck to your shirt. I mean, what could happen? We aren't even friends yet and we only had a conversation about 5 minutes long. Yes, she did invite me to dine with her and her friends, however I had to reject. I thought of all the possibilities, and none could come to Garnet's conclusion on why I shouldn't trust her. I shook my head around trying to get rid of the thought, until...
BANG
Ouch! I screamed jumping backwards, well at least that got rid of those distasteful thoughts. Behind me came a series of laughter, I didn't take me time to realize the people standing behind me. My friends.
P: "I thought you guys cancelled it. What happened to that?"
S: "Oh you know, we decided a change of plans." Steven's gleaming smile shined almost blocking my view of everybody else. Just to make him happy, I smiled back at him.
P: "How are things going with Connie? Is she into you?" *Wiggly eyebrows for effect*
A big rose blush slowly appeared on his face while he was trying to think of a reply.
S: "I did go over to her house a few-"
That was enough information for all to conclude that she was totally into Steven.
A: " ASK HER OUT."
Amethyst tried to say it without sounding like a complete pervert, failed at that unfortunately.
Pearl told Steven not to 'ask her out' as that would unpleasant. But, Steven was 14 so no one thought it was unpleasant at all.
While everyone else was talking about how Steven should ask Connie out, I zoned out. Only for a few minutes though. They were doing a karaoke battle, and the teams were bieng chosen, still while I was zoned out.
A: "Yo Peri, did you zone out again?"
I hastily nodded my head while Amythest smiled, mabey even chuckled.
I needed a quite deep gothic voice if my song was chosen, unlike my friends. Pearl had a sweet voice, quite old-fashioned but still nice. Garnet's voice was strong, kinda like Amythest's. Steven's and Amythest's voice were quite unique, that's kinda why I didn't bother to describe them.
Steven was chosen as judge. Me and Amythest vs. Garnet and Pearl
I struggled to pick a song, since I didn't really like pop songs. I always felt like it kept repeating on the radio, and soon it'll just be forgotten, just like my brother. My brother died in a car crash, no one knew who did it, but who would bother to believe me? The police didn't even ask me who I thought it'd be, but I knew who it was. Obviously, it was my parents. Soon, my faith will be the same. But that ain't something to worry about now, I need to choose my song.
P: "Kill our way to heaven."
Amethyst questioned my pick, because not really many people knew this song. She didn't want to upset me so she softly replied 'ok'. This song wasn't a hit, but I loved it.
Suprisingly fast, Steven got out the song, I feared that it wouldn't be there, but it was.
A: "Imma let Peri sing this one, by herself. I don't know how the song goes so..."
Everyone nodded with agreement, even though it was quite unfair that it was 1 vs. 2.
The dust and dirt, Blind us slowly
But give a hint of a view to make it feel alright
I could see everyone in the corner of my eye question my decision, except for Amythest. She knew I'd pick a song like this, dark but relatable.
And though it hurts, we keep on climbing
'Cause our addictions take us from inside.
A sturdy back, but brittle bones, too weak too show
Chorus:
We would say anything just to hear what we want
Right or wrong
Then we lie to be forgiven
We would sell anything just to buy what we're not,
Any cost
Oh we kill our way to heaven x2
This is one of the only songs that made me happy even though it's deep meaning, it just relates to my life too much.
We search along
For golden crowns
'Cause if we find it we'll have it all to ourselves
So one by one, we lay our bricks down
To pave the road on the shoulders of somebody else
Everyone kept their mouths shut, as I sang the song with all the energy I had.
A sturdy back, but brittle bones
Too weak too show
Chorus
We would say anything just to hear what we want
Right or wrong
Then we lie to be forgiven
We would sell anything just to buy what were not
Any cost
Oh we kill our way to heaven
I'm sorry that this chapter took longer than others. Lapis might not be here too much in the next few chapters or so, but don't worry, Lapidot is coming.
