Pearls POV
Slowly I woke up by the noise of my alarm clock. I sighed and opened my eyes. 7 a.m. I sat right up and grabbed my phone. Have I got any messages? Yes, from Ruby, Sapphire, Lapis and Peridot. I smiled. Today's going to be my first day on my new school, Diamond High. I've known Ruby and Sapphire for quite a while, since we were little, and they're on Diamond High as well. Lapis and Peridot are their friends, which I became friends with too. I stood up and got out of my pastel blue room. I walked downstairs and sat at the kitchen table. My mom was already up, and gave me a bowl of cereal with milk.
'Thank you.' I muttered sleepily and I started eating.
'Are you excited for today?' mom asked enthusiastically.
'Yeah, I guess.' I said and kept eating. I looked at the clock and ran back to my room. Clothes. What kind of clothes should I wear on the first day of school? Something classy? Cool? Hip? Expensive? I decided to dress like myself. I put on a light blue blouse with a skinny jean and laid on my bed. I read the messages of the group chat. They were talking about a video Peridot had sent.
'You really have to stop with those cat videos.' Lapis sent.
'Aw come on, they're funny.' Peridot said.
'They are kind of funny, yes.' Sapphire said, and Ruby said, 'HAAHHAHSJSHAHA.'
'Hi Pearl.' Sapphire randomly said, 'Are you excited for today?' Sapphire had seen that I was online.
'Yeah, kinda.'
'Remembered what we said?' Lapis asked.
'Don't be too outstanding, but also not NOT outstanding, or something. Talk, but not too much. Answer questions, but not too many.'
'Well done.' Lapis said.
'Hey, guys, I have to go if I want to get to the bus in time.' Ruby said. We all said goodbye to Ruby and eventually went offline. I walked towards the bathroom, brushed my peach colored hair and looked at myself. I sighed. It's not going to get any better, Pearl, deal with it. I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs again. I walked around the room for a while, and 15 minutes later I decided to walk to the bus as well. It's not far away, only a couple minutes walking. I walked slowly when I saw some people already waiting for the bus. There was a long girl with dark, curly hair, there was a guy with probably really expensive clothes and a girl with long, lavender white hair. She looked at me and then she looked away. I awkwardly looked around, and a minute later the bus arrived. I got on it, grabbed my phone and put my earphones in. After a while I got the feeling someone looked at me. I looked around and saw two girls. The lavender white girl, and another girl with thick, beige hair. They looked pretty intimidating. The beige girl laughed softly, punched the other, but she didn't really seem to think it's funny. I blushed and looked away.

Pearls POV
'PEARL!' someone shouted. I got scared and looked around. I saw a girl walking towards me. She had dark red hair, she wasn't very long, pretty dark skinned and smiled wide.
'Ruby!' I said happily and I ran towards her. We hugged each other and started talking. Meanwhile Sapphire, Lapis and Peridot found us as well. They started talking about the school, what it's like, how the teachers are and which ones were the devil themselves, and even though we've talked about this in our group chat, I still like how enthusiastic and happy they are. Suddenly Ruby and Sapphire stopped talking, and Lapis softly punched Peridot so she stopped with talking as well. I looked at them, not understanding what's going on, but I kept quiet. I followed Ruby's look (?) and I saw she was looking at some pretty big girl, or woman. She had beige colored hair, she dressed pretty intimidating and she acted like she was the boss of the school. It's the girl from the bus.
'Who's that?' I asked quietly and I looked at the girl.
'Don't look. Keep walking.' Sapphire said. I kept looking at the girl, but when she looked back I quickly looked away and walked faster. Sapphire grabbed my arm but it was too late.
'You. Pink haired lady.' I heard. Everyone stopped, because everyone knew she was talking about me. I held my breath and turned around. Then I smiled.
'You meant me?' I asked. She walked towards me.
'You're the new one, aren't you?' she asked. I had to look up to look her in her eyes. 'Name.'
'Pearl.' I said as quick as possible. I've never reacted so quick to something, and I started to blush a little. She looked at me and grinned. I tried to breath normally but she was standing really close to me now.
'Has anyone told you how hot you actually are?' she asked. I blushed more and stepped away.
'E-excuse m-me?' I stuttered. She stepped closer, and I stepped back. I bumped into the wall, and looked a little freaked out.
'You heard me.' she said.
'B-but I don't unders-stand.' She grabbed my chin. I looked away. She grabbed my chin even harder so I had to look at her. I swallowed.
'Leave her alone, Jasper.' I suddenly heard. The beige colored girl let go of me and looked at the direction of the voice. Jasper. Her name is Jasper. I also looked in the same direction. I saw a girl, not really long, with big, lavender white hair. She also dressed  pretty intimidating but she didn't seem so intimidating as she looks. It's the other girl from the bus. She was standing at the same bus stop this morning.
'Look. The new one.' Jasper said. The other girl walked towards me.
'So?' she asked.
'Wow, what happened to you?' Jasper asked. The girl rolled her eyes.
'Did she do something to you?' she asked. Jasper stayed quiet.
'Exactly. Leave her alone.' she said again. Jasper looked from me to the other girl, who's pretty confident and didn't seem to leave before Jasper had left. She looked irritated to the girl and stepped away from me.
'Seriously, Amethyst, where the fuck did you sense of humor go?' she asked angrily. She bumped into the other girl, on purpose, and then walked away. I looked at the lavender colored girl with the name Amethyst. She looked at the ground, bit irritated on her lip and put her hands into the pockets of her jacket.
'P.' I heard. I looked and saw Ruby, who waved to me. I looked at Amethyst again. My heart was still going crazy, and not only because of that weird thing with Jasper. Amethyst is... Pretty. Really pretty.
'Hey, um, thank you for... You know, that.' I said and I tried not to stutter.
'No problem.' she said without looking at me.
'I'm Pearl.' I said and I extended my hand. I heard Sapphire, Ruby, Lapis and Peridot face palming. Amethyst looked away from the ground to look at me. She looked at my hand and shook it.
'Amethyst.' she said.
I smiled. 'I'm new here!' I said, maybe a little too loud.
'I know.' Amethyst said. I nodded and quickly let go of her hand. 'Jasper always annoys the new ones.' Amethyst said, 'She should be more careful. Especially because of last time...'
'Last time?' I asked.
'Oh... Yeah, long story. It's not interesting.'
'How do you know so sure?' I asked.
Amethyst looked at me. 'Because it's none of your business.' I blushed. 'It's complicated. Maybe I'll tell you someday, if we would ever speak to each other again.' Amethyst said.
'Oh, ehm...-'
'I hope so. Good luck with your first day of school. Believe me, you need it.' Amethyst nodded and walked away.
'Oh, bye!' I said and I waved. I saw Amethyst smiling to the ground and softly shaking with her head. I blushed more and put my hair behind my ear.
'Flirting with Amethyst, huh?' Lapis asked grinning and she walked towards me.
'W-what?' I asked, 'N-no.' Lapis laughed.
'Relax P. It's just a joke.'
