A Girl I'd Kind Of Be Into. ●Lapidot●

•Morning Madness•

Peridot's POV.
. . .

I woke up in surprise at the sound of my loud alarm, with my eyes shot open. I averted my eyes over at the window, gazing at the bright outside. I squinted my eyes, and rested my hand over my eyes, grunting.

I would've slowly drifted myself back to sleep, only if my little brother wouldn't have bursted through the door like the house was on fire.

"PERINOODLE, IT IS YOUR FIRST DAY TO SCHOOL, NONA WANTED ME TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWAKE AND READY ON TIME!" My brother shouted, then jumping on the end of my bed. I gave him a loud grunt in response, shoving the pillow on the top of my face. He grumbled, climbing on top of me to then snatching the pillow off from my face.

He looked me straight in the eye. "We have blueberry pancakes."

"I- Ugh.." I stuttered. Man, my Nona made the best blueberry pancakes. But I still did not want to get up.

"Tell her to bring my plate upstairs in my room."

"No, silly! You know you cannot eat up here!" He giggled,then grabbed my wrist dragging me out of my bed. Jesus Christ, he strong for a six year old. Then again, I weigh as light as a baby duck feather.

I hit my head on the ground, I grunted flipping myself over, so I was on my stomach.

"Did you have to drag me off of my bed, Em?" I said to him, with a scratchy tone in my voice. I do this a lot, not that my throat is sore but I just sometimes do it to me intimidating. But uh, haha it doesn't work. It puts people in awe more than fright.

"Yuh-huh! If I did not, you would have just stayed in bed." He said in a sarcastic tone to his voice.
I'm teaching him well.

"Good point." I responded, with a small chuckle. I get up wobbling, and out my hand to my hand. Ugh, headaches. Why in this time of the morning?

He gave me a look. I know that look, it's his 'Challenge me or I'll blame you for eating the rest of the candy jar' face.
Oh, God.

".. Catch me if you can!" She yelled, then laughed running down the stairs in a hurry. I quickly untangled the blanket from around my waist, and ran after him.

We were almost to the middle of the staircase, when I familiar voice call our names.

"Emerald, Peridot! No running down and up the stairs! I don't know how many times I have to tell you two this!" My father shouted at us. I was hesitant to respond, but Emerald nodded at me and called back to him.

"Sorry, Papa!"

"Peridot, I'm ashamed of you. You should know better not to teach your little brother such fowl things. What if he got hurt, young lady?"

Great. Now he's blaming me for this. Every time I spend time with my brother, one single fuck up, it's immediately my fault because I'm older. Dandy, isn't it? We started slowly walking down the stairs, and when we got to the bottom, Emerald held my hand.

"I-I'm sorry, Papa. It was Emerald's idea, th-thou-"

"Don't argue with me!" He cut me off.

"Papa.. It was my idea though." Emerald said softly, defending me. That's what I love about him. He's not like typical usual siblings, he cares for me. Especially because he knows me and my father's relationship.. It's not pretty.

But then again, Emerald is 'Daddy's little boy.'

"Nonsense, Emerald." He smiled at him, then looked at me with a glare that I could easily read; 'You're a failure.'
How lovely! Thanks, Dad.

"Go enjoy breakfast, you two. I have to go out for work." He said, walking out of the door. Oh, and would you look at that. He waves goodbye at Emerald, but not me. Huh, I wonder.

I sit down in my chair, putting my hand to my face. What a good morning. My father expressively showing that he wants me gone, and falling off your bed because of your six year old brother.

"Don't worry about him, dear." My Nona said, setting a plate of blueberry pancakes in front of me, and the syrup next to it.

"Don't let him ruin your morning." She said, as I turn my head to her. She smiled, and I have her a half smile back. As in like, 'Yeah, I understand but I'm still kind of pissed off.' kind of smile.

Why can't I just go back to 1st grade like Emerald? When everything was peaceful. When I was actually loved by my father. I don't know what I did to deserve to be on his black list, but I guess he realized that I wasn't the strong daughter he wanted. The one I can't even fantasize of seeking in my dreams.

Lapis' POV
. . .

I was up until, about 5:45 in the morning because of my baby sister wailing her eyes out. I've basically have been staring at the wall for the past 30 minutes, as my mom tries to calm her down. At this point, I just wanted to die. Her screams sound like a banshee on drugs. A lot of them, too.

A stressful hour passed, as I hear a loud 'ding' coming from my phone. If it's Steven asking me if I want to help him and his dad with the car wash today again, I'm not responding. Wait. Then again, I really can't. Oh shit, today is a school day. The first day, too. I'm also positive this is the last year before college is a thing.
I'm not ready for this. What if I don't even get excepted in?!

Now I really want to die.

Wait, why am I worrying about this now, even? I have uh, I think.. How many months are in a school year? Oh wait, the answer: Too many. Noted

I pick up my phone, making an exhausted grunt. I turn on my phone and.. Oh. It's.. Peridot? Why is she texting me, I thought she was taking care of her brother.

I giggled. She's adorable, to be fairly honest. But you know who is cuter?

James, my boyfriend. I couldn't even ask for a better one. He's so dreamy, and his bright hazel eyes are just, ugh. Handsome.

But then again.. Peridot is much smaller than me. 4'11 to be exact. Her adorable round face, her smile.. Her bright greenish-blue eyes..-

Uh, whoa. Slow down there, cowgirl. She's just your friend. Nothing more. We've been friends for years, and nothing can break that. Right?
