"HAHA, LOOK AT HER!"
"Gross..what's up with her legs?"
"She's some tech freak that's for sure"
"Hah LOOK!"
"THE FREAK IS HERE!"
....
......

I woke up with a start, hugging my legs, which were void of warmth...prosthetic.
It was just another shitty nightmare.
I sighed, getting up from my bed "Just another day Peridot.." I quietly said to myself, rubbing my eyes.
I readjusted my bed sheets, which always managed to be a cluttered mess after I wake no matter how neat I tried to make them before.
I walked over to the bathroom, which unlike my green room was a faint yellow shade, I quickly brushed my teeth, and tried to freshen up the best I could without showering since I didn't have time to waste.
I skipped over brushing my hair, which was in its usual triangular mess, brushing it would only make my hair worse.
I chose to wear green flannel over a faint grey shirt that had the words "Camp Pining Hearts" written along it, and some dark blue baggy pants, long enough to completely cover my legs, the pants had triangle shaped patches stitched over the knees since they used to be a bit damaged.
I got my backpack for school and headed out.

I quickly rushed into the classroom, to my surprise few people were there yet.
I wasn't late?
I awkwardly avoided eye contact with the few people in the room, none of which I recognized..luckily.
I decided to walk around the halls a bit, I had plenty of time left to get used to the new unfamiliar building.
The halls were rather large, which considering the huge school and large amount of students it made sense.

OOF

I bumped into a large figure
"WATCH IT TWERP." A low voice growled at me angrily
I froze in place.
I knew whose voice that was..
I didn't take a moment to meet their eyes, and quickly started a full sprint away from them, the person, shocked, seemingly realizing who I was just then ran after me.
"HEY!"
I took a sharp turn at a corner.
"YOU!"
I ran faster.
" STOP! PERI-"
I took another sharp turn and ran into the nearest girl's bathroom
The voice died out, I wheezed out of breath, panting.
I looked up, only to be greeted by ocean blue eyes, that were staring, concerned at me, the person's eyes seemed a bit red. Were they crying?
"Oh I u-um..sorry.." I awkwardly apologized, stuttering.
...Why was I stuttering?
The girl, who was dressed in a wavy faint blue tank top and shorts continued to stare at me, raising an eyebrow, she had blue hair, and faint freckles along her tan skin..and smelt like chlorine?

My stars she was beau-..

Wait! No Peridot you aren't crushing on some stranger you just met, stop it!

"Sorry I'll um leave y-you alone.." I muttered and stepped out of the bathroom, awkwardly fumbling with the door knob for a moment.
What was that you clod?
You acted like a total doof...
I put the back of my hand to my cheek, I could tell I was blushing..
..blushing!?
I slapped myself in order to snap out of it which wasn't the most wise decision as now a couple of people in the hall were staring at me.

Urg

I fumbled with my hands a bit and quickly began to walk down the hall to get to my class, avoiding any and all eye contact especially with the people who saw me slap myself.
