An Unlikely Song (Lapidot High School AU)

Just Another Intro (10)

hehe.......

please don't kill me

Lapis POV

      After the dork walked off I wandered back over to the band. Wait, I'm sorry, the "Crystal Gems". Personally, not the biggest fan of the name, but I was the last the enter so I don't have any say in that. I sneak through the crowd into back stage where I see my little buddy Steven bouncing around placing his dad's mixer with the rest of his dad's audio equipment. Thank god Greg let's us use it or we'd sound like a dying horse giving birth.

     "Hey there Stevie Wonder. Need help with any of that?" He looks up at me with stars in his eyes. He leaps over and gives me a big ol' bear hug that I can't help but return.

     "Lapis! You sang amazing tonight! It was really cool the way you did all those vocal riffs an-"

     "Heyo it's the Water Bitch herself!" I look over to see Amethyst purple mane with the salty bird behind her with the looks of a scolding. And might I say while I doubted it at first she does know how to rock a leather jacket and skinny jeans. Wardrobe upgrade for her if you ask me.

     "Amethyst! Can't you see that Steven is right here! Please refrain from using such vulgar language."

     "Eh quit your squawking P. The kid's walked in on me and Witch her belting 'Dead Girl Walking' he's fine."

     The two continued there bickering back and forth as they always do. I shrug it off and help caring all of Greg's gear into his van. After playing Tetris with the junk I slammed the trunk shut and hop into the shotgun seat and place on my earbuds. Shortly after I hear mumbling and three other doors closing.

     "Are you sure they were okay with us just leaving without tidying up a little? The crowd did leave quiet a mess..."

     "I'm sure that they'll be okay with it Pearl." I look a bit behind me to see the light blue hair of Sapphire. As usually wearing her light blue T-Shirt with a royal blue vest and black skirt. To her left was the hot highness herself Ruby sporting a black tank with a maroon vest and dark gray shorts.

     "At least it's not like last time where those dudes were smoking crack in the bathrooms."

     "Yo! I really wish I could've met those guys." Amethyst plops down behind the wheel in her own druggy day dream.

     "While that would've been fun, I think that would've stopped our chance at booking anymore gigs for a long time with the drummer become a drug addict. Now quick your yapping and let's dip."

      Amethyst pulls out of the parking lot and starts driving towards 'The Temple'. Sounds fancy until you realize it's just Steven's house that was built on the side of a cliff. I plug my phone into the AUX cord and crank up the dial.

True, all of the good girls act so good
Till one of them doesn't wait their turn
Turn the memory to stone
And carve your shoulder
Hey holy roller...

      "OH HELL YES!" Amethyst rolls the windows down and turns up the volume to full blast. They all start singing a long at the top of our lungs, including Pearl. I was merely humming along to the tune. Yeah, it's a pretty good song, but I'm not the biggest fan of it. Not only that but it's an unspoken rule of the group that out of all the songs in our set, Amethyst always sings it.

      After one hell of a sing-a-long for a car ride, Ame drops me off at my place. I take my phone off the AUX and hop out of the old van. I immediately hear Amethyst hip-hop music playing through the stereo. Before I can open my door I hear her yell over the music. "Laz, text me the deets of that blonde chick you were talkin' with! Peace out, broski!" The screeching of the tires echos as the van fades into the distance, leaving only a light trail of smoke. I waltz into my home and let out a sigh before passing out upstairs.
