Steven had only been at school for a day and yet he was already tired. Were schools really a hive for rumors? Buzzing and buzzing even though these rumors were possibly false? Even though they weren't, Steven was right there to hear them all. He sighed. 

'Might as well talk to someone who has BEEN to school their whole life, just so I can deal with this.'

He sat on the couch, picked up his phone, and texted Maruki.

Steven: Maruki, can I go to your office tomorrow after school?

It didn't take long for Maruki to reply

Maruki: Of course, Steven. By the way, how was your first day?

Steven simply replied: ...tiring.

Maruki: Well that's understandable. See you tomorrow.

Steven sighed. At least it will be easy to talk to Maruki about it, since he was aware of Gems and his powers. Steven went to text Connie next.

Steven: Connnnniiiieeeeee

Connie: Steven, it's 3 in the morning.
Connie: What do you need?

Steven: How do you survive high school

Connie: It really depends...
Connie: What happened at your school?

Steven texted her everything; all the rumors, the class, and the phantom thieves.

Connie: Wow. Rumors aren't even that bad at my school.
Connie: Also, the Phantom thieves?

Steven: I wanted to find out how they convinced Kamoshida, one of the teachers, to confess his crimes.
Steven: They mentioned stealing his heart or desires or something like that.

Connie: Possibly Blackmail?
Connie: Also, could there be more gem hybrids out there?
Connie:Or any type of super power?

Steven: Possibly. But, they don't seem part gem, nor any form of supernatural.
Steven: Just,
Steven: regular human.

Connie: Well, update me about them when you can.
Connie: Just, not at 3am this time.

Steven: lol, I will.

Connie: Also just to remind you: You fought the diamonds you can survive school.

Steven: I find that weirdly encouraging.

Connie: Lol. Well, gn <3

Steven: gn!! <333
