Lapidot: A Second Chance at Love

How we met.

It was the first day of school for many people today. Some went to school early, eager for the upcoming year, others slept in; such as..

Peridot's POV:

I hear an annoying buzzing noise, I open one eye and see that it's 7:05.

"SHIT!"

I'm late for the first day of junior high. I took a shower as quickly as I could, threw on some clothes, grabbed my keys and drove off with my car to school.

I'm pretty sure I'm breaking the speed limit. Eh it's alright, I mean what do I have to lose?

As I thought that I thought about my parents, of how they both died in the attacks 5 years back and how I've been living alone ever since. I didn't have any friends that were going to the same school as me, or any friends of any sort, so I didn't really care about what happened today. I finally reached the school after around 10 minutes and ran into school, the halls were crowded with so many gems; most of them being tall. I get nudged as I make my way to class, luckily I wore my limp enhancers so I wouldn't look so short, then an orange-white haired girl tripped me and I fell.

"GAH!!" I shouted, expecting for my face to meet the ground I was caught by something--no. Someone.

"Hey, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm fi--" I looked up at her, she was gorgeous. Blue hair and fair light blue skin with a warm smile. "Y-yeah!! I-I'm fine!" I try hiding my blush with my hoodie.

She laughs.

Oh my diamond. What'd I do?? Did I already do something so idiotic and pitiful that she's laughing at m--

Her laugh fades away but still smiles, "Jeez, you're kinda cute when you blush"

I blush brighter and deeper, I stand up straight now and stare at her. "T-thanks..?" I stuttered. Crap. I look around and I find that she was now staring at me, I adjusted my glasses.

"So what's your name?" She asks.

"Peridot..!" I state defensively. Why did I say it that way? On the inside I face palmed.

"Well, nice to meet you Peridot! I'm Lapis, Lapis Lazuli."
