Camp Universe (Pearlmethyst AU)

Hooked

I woke up early today, the clock on the wall said 6:48 am. I sat up on my bed and looked at my room mates; they were all sleeping, I sighed. Maybe Pearl is awake. I turned around and pulled myself up the latter, I reached the top and Pearl was sleeping I stared at her. I don't know if I should wake her up or not. She looks so peaceful. I poked her face and said "Boop." but she didn't do anything. "Pearl. Wake up!" I whispered in her face. She mumbled something under her breath, I couldn't hear what she said. I started to shake her and she finally woke up. "Amethyst...what are you doing?" she looked at me and wiped her face, "The bell is supposed to wake us up." she continued.

"I can't go back to sleep. Can we go do something?" I mumbled

She sighed and sat up "I guess."

We got down from her bed, brushed our teeth and went outside. We both decided that we would go fishing, we grabbed some fishing poles and bait then headed to the beach. We sat down on the dock and started fishing. It was so beautiful out. Me and Pearl sat in silence and so I decided to say something.

I looked over at her "Do y-you like anyone in camp?" I asked.

She looked over at me "Yes. I like everyone in camp." She smiled then looked back at her bobber.

Was she playing stupid or something. I laughed a bit "I mean...do you have a crush on anyone in camp?"

Pearl laughed and hid her face, "I know what you meant Amethyst."

"So thats a yes?" maybe she likes me or.. maybe she likes someone else or maybe she's into guys.

"I did not say that." I nudged her "Who is it? Hmmm??? I know you like someone!"

I felt a pull on my fishing pole and looked over at my bobber, it went under water so I started reeling it in. Pearl looked at me "Why do you want to know?" I wasn't paying attention to pearl, I reeled it in all the way and hovered it over the water, there was a small fish on my hook. I smiled "Cool! I caught a fish." I used to live in the city so I never got to go fishing, though I did go once before with my dad when I was 7. Pearl looked at the fish "Good job." The fish fell off the hook and back into the water. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Pearl bursted out laughing, I peered over at her "Is that supposed to happen?"

"No. but it does happen sometimes." Pearl replied.

I sighed, got new bait and casted my pole out again. A couple minutes passed by and we said nothing to each other and we caught nothing. It was peaceful and the sun was shining brighter now. I was in deep thought when suddenly Pearl looked over at me and said "Can I ask you a personal question."

I looked at her "Sure." Pearl looked away from me and stared across the water blushing. "Do you like girls?" Holy shit. What is this supposed to mean? Does she like me? Do I like her? Do I even like girls? I started blushing heavily. What should I say? I looked away from her and stared at my bobber. "I-I-I don't know..." I felt my heart racing, i'm not sure why. Pearl looked over at me and I looked at her. "Me neither." Shit I should have just said yes.

We both looked away from each other and stared across the water.
