(-Please note that English isn't my first language and I'm trying my best! this will be a slow build up. for now Lapis doesn't feel very good about Peridot. while Peridot is looking her shit. )
Peridot woke up at exactly 5am. School didn't start until 8am but who cared, she rather wake up early and leave early than have to listen to her parents. You'd be surprised on how much they argued, probably even in their sleep, she didn't care. And wanted none of it. Peridot hoped in the bathroom and stripped of her clothing. She didn't do this often, look in the mirror, why? Well she wasn't as kind to herself. Peridot raised a brow and hummed. Flat chest, acne scars on her cheeks… At least i have somewhat of an ass.. Curves? Not so much. She thought. Whenever Peridot did check herself out she would always list what she liked and didn't. There were mostly things she hated about herself, and only a few of the good things.
When peridot got out of the shower she quickly got dressed in her normal style. She wore an oversized green sweater, which had a little cartoon UFO with "Believe" underneath, black leggings with green convers. And to top everything off her big circular glasses. She put a little more work into her hair this time, she had side cut way back then, so her hair was longer in one side and shorter in the other side as her hair grew in. Blonde curly strands covered in gel. Just how she liked it. Why was she making such an effort to seem at least a little decent? She would normally not care about her appearance but since this was a new school if felt like she had a fresh start. A chance to start over.
When the blonde teenager finished she grabbed her back and when she was going to leave--
"Okay. What do you want? "
She said, turning around to face her father. Who didn't seem to be having the usual hangovers. Weird she thought.
" I'm going to take you to school" he explained. It sounded more like a question. Well if Peridot was being completely honest with herself she had no idea where her school was, she was going to ask, or probably pay a taxi. Anything than actually letting her father take her. She sighed and rolled her eyes, folding her arms above her chest.
"Sure" she said. Her father didn't say anything else and they both got out of the apartment and went towards the rented car.
The ride was silent. The radio doing the job of filling the car with a little noise. Peridot had no intention of actually talk nor enjoy this ride… Some would say she should be more understanding of him but nobody knows what her mother and her had been through. It made her blood boil.
Once he dropped her off she muttered a small thank you and quickly walked into the school. She texted Pearl.
Peridot: Hey
Pearl: Hello! Are you in school today? It must be exciting!
Peridot: Hardly
Pearl: What's wrong?
Peridot: Nothing
Peridot: where r u
Pearl: *Are you
Peridot: Fuck off
After a few minutes Peridot finally saw her, Pearl. The tall woman she had spoken before. She wore a blue sun dress that had a yellow ribbon tied around her waist. Fancy, Peridot said mentally.
" You look nice" she suddenly blurted out, words escaping her mouth. "Why thank you, i do try my best! " Pearl said, ending it with a small wink which made Peridot's blood warm up. In a good way of course. In a gay way to be more exact.
Peridot had been out of the closet for about two years now, a few girlfriends, kisses here and there. Sex? Maybe once or twice. It wasn't a topic she was open to talk about.
She didn't feel attracted to a girl instantly. Just appreciated them in "secret".
So. Which is your first block?" "History" Peridot responded in deadpan. Her eyes glued to the floor for a moment, Pearl caught on. She rose(Haha get it) an eyebrow and hummed. "Are you okay? You seem a little disoriented" Peridot shrugged and scratched the back of her head "Just anxious i guess. " was her only respond, after that Pearl just nodded and walked Peridot to her class silently.
Her first class was.. Boring. A few kids talked to her but nothing out of the ordinary. Some smart ass giggled when the teacher mentioned her name but nothing too bad. Her next block was Sociology. Which she had to find on her own.
"Are you Olivine? " she heard the teacher say to her. Peridot nodded and say down in a front seat. " Peridot, yup" "well nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Marcoux. Glad to have a new face in my class. " another nod. Then silence again until other students came in. Peridot just put on her headphones and ignored everyone as usual. Until she saw a taller figure stand in front of her. Pearl? Peridot looked up. Definitely not Pearl. The girl infront of her was more tanned l. Not as tall as Pearl, but definitely taller than herself. Some freckles on her cheeks and shoulders, blue hair, dark blue eyes. She wore a black tank top with the words "Water Witch" spelled across it and blue ripped skinny jeans. From her tank top it was obvious she was physically in shape. Not something drastic but obviously noticeable.
Peridot tore her earphones away the second she stopped noting every single detail of the female in front of her. She didn't notice how bad she was blushing.
"Are you listening?" The girl said, annoyance in her tone. "Oh sorry, what were you saying?" the blue haired girl just sighed and rolled her eyes, pointing to a small paper with a name written on it on the desk. Something Peridot didn't notice. The paper said Lazuli.
"Teacher goes by assigned seats. This is my desk. " the girl explained once more. It took a moment before Peridot actually got out of the seat and moved into one that didn't have anymore assigned yet. Which was way in the back. But she could still see Lazuli. What a Weird name. She pondered the girl for a big until the teacher came and stuck Stuck a small paper to her now desk. Olivine, it read. Oh. So Lazuli is her last name?
After two one more of her blocks were over Peridot was finally at lunch. And after Sociology she never talked to the blue haired mystery. Would they even speak again? The girl did seem quite aggravated when Peridot wasn't paying attention. Maybe she had blown her only chance to ever speaking with her.. Wait. Since when did she care about such things? Peridot shook her head and sighed, rubbing her temples. She held her head down for a moment, lost in her thoughts before she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Peridot looked up.
"Are you okay?" it was Pearl. Peridot gave a weak quick smile to the other before returning to her normal emotionless self.
"Yeah I'm okay. Don't worry " Pearl just nodded and sat down "A few of my friends are coming over to introduce themselves. Do you mind? " Pearl changed topic, asking in a soft tone, almost like a whisper. Peridot just gave a small nod. Her arms crossed on the table.
She couldn't get that girl out of her head. There was just something about her.. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. She wished. Hah. Peridot was too lost in her thoughts to even notice that Pearl's friends had arrived. She examined them. One was a girl with silver and violet hair, almost pastel. She was very short, almost as short as Peridot, if not, the same. The other was a very tall woman, more taller than Pearl, who was already pretty tall. She had immense curly hair. Which made the entire thing resemble an afro. And next to her-- was Lazuli. Shit.
"And this is Garnet-- " "Hi" Peridot seemed to only wave at the blue haired girl. The other two seemed quite confused. Including Pearl.
Lazuli just awkwardly waved, looking at the other's as saying 'i have no idea' .
"M-My name is Peridot." she then looked at everyone, the redness in her cheeks threatening to invade. Either because of embarrassment or because of Lazuli. Maybe both.
The others just shrugged and sat down. "So, you just moved? Lame ass place you just moved into, haha!" the one named Amethyst commented. " Boring Amethyst. You can just say Boring. " Pearl chimed in. Amethyst just stuck her tongue out at the taller girl. In which Pearl just shook her head and rolled her eyes. Muttering a curse of her own under her breath.
As soon as Lapis sat down the table i felt the girl's-- Peridot's eyes on her. It was a weird feeling. The feeling instantly hit her the moment they first locked eyes in the classroom. She couldn't really describe it.. It was a mix of creeped out and weirded out really. Lapis just glared at her every time they locked eyes. Peridot seemed to flinch but continued anyways. what was it with this girl? Lapis looked at Peridot once more. Her pale cheeks had a small tinge of color. And once they again locked eyes they seemed to get redder. Lapis rolled her eyes at the smaller girl before raising a brow. Leaning on the table to get close to her. Which made Peridot flinch. When lapis got closer she felt as if she was going to d i e.
"What is your problem?" Lapis suddenly broke the silence, her voice intimidating and slightly hoarse. Peridot raised her hands in defense. Trying to play it cool.
"Nothing? What's your problem?" Lapis just sighed and got up from her chair and left
What was her problem?
