Homeworld High

Chapter Three: You Can't Be Serious Sardonyx!

The past few days seemed identical to the next. Wake up, eat, walk to the bus stop, go to school, get stalked by Onion, avoid Pearl, go home, eat again, sleep. Make sure to rinse and repeat!

So here Lapis was, on the bus with Jasper and Peridot, riding to school. The ride had been quiet. Since they were all occupied with their own things, Lapis reading, Peri on her DS, and Jasper listening to music.

As soon as the trio stepped off the bus, Peridot groaned "Ugh, You guys look. It's the Crystal Clods" Of course Lapis became confused and turned to her technological friend "Who?"

"Well. Their name is really the Crystal Gems. But they are the most lumpy clumpy clods I've ever met. Their leader was Rose Quartz. But she died during child birth. Kinda sad really. But now their main commander is the one with the cube shaped afro, and a visor. Her names Garnet. The shortest one is Amethyst. And the medium is Pearl"

Lapis took a double take at Pearl's name and whipped her head back to see the same teen she'd been avoiding the past few days. And of course. They had to be in the middle of the staircase, blocking any entryway into the school. Amethyst was there too, wearing a similar outfit to the one on the weekend.

Peridot groaned and started to rant on and on. About how Diamond was greater than the any of the 'Crystal Clods'. Jasper just rolled her eyes saying that they were all weaklings and not worth her time. Jasper stood a whole head taller and than some than Garnet.

Lapis looked at the two questioning on what to do. The three seemed to be looking straight at their little group. Peridot saw Lapis' look and turned to Jasper. Who just rolled her eyes and walked forward. Telling the smaller two to follow.

Lapis synced her steps with Jasper's, not wanting to seem scared, hiding behind the brute. Peridot was slightly lagging behind. Amethyst looked up at Pearl. Who barely noticed the new comers. It was hard to tell with Garnet. Her visor covering half her face. Lapis' bravo faded with each nearing step.

Garnet spoke, her British accent calmed Lapis, for an unknown reason, It just was the type of voice that calmed people.

"You're the one Pearl caught this weekend?" Garnet points to Lapis. Her tone of voice sounded more like a statement than a question. Both Jasper and Peridot looked at Lapis with a confused look

"Look, I just happened to be in the area. Not like I was up to something." Lapis replied. Pearl scoffed.

"No one, just happens to be hiding out behind rocks watching people." Jasper, and Peridot; connected the dots and stared at Lapis. Before looking at each other, like they were having some private conversation in their heads.

Lapis rolled her eyes. Having no intention of being late to class. She walked forward. Before being grabbed by Pearl. She wasn't exactly surprised she was stopped, expected it really. But before anyone could say anything. The bell rang, signaling that school day had begun. Pearl kept her grip on Lapis, while the other two shrugged and walked away. Pearl following, but not without shoving Lapis into the front of Peridot. Causing the both of them to fall.

Lunch had been awkward. The trio ate in silence. Lapis had felt a pair of eyes on her and turned her head to find Onion staring at her. Shivering she turned back around. Before long Jasper spoke up.

"So, uh, Lapis, you spied on them?"

"Ugh. No Jasper! Well kind of, but not intentionally!" Peridot had spoken up, already done with her food.

"Did you find out anything about them? Like you know anything important?" Lapis stared at Peri, she knew what she was talking about. But should she really just tell what she found out about the supposed Crystal Gems? Had she really found out anything of importance anyway? She knew the other trio had a baby in their cares so she limited the amount of knowledge to them.
