I woke up and checked the time on my phone - 7:34 AM. My first class didn't start for another hour and a half. I also noticed there were 37 new messages from Amethyst, and I reluctantly opened them up, groaning. They were all between 3 and 3:30 AM, and they were mostly just spam, trying to wake me up. I had fallen asleep around 12:30 last night, so I wasn't awake when Lapis came back to the dorm.

Where was she? What was she doing? But I sat up for a moment and noticed Lapis slumped in her bed, fast asleep. She was lightly snoring, and I was surprised I hadn't noticed that before. I took a moment to stare at how peaceful she looked when she slept. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically in sync with her breathing, and her arm was draped over the pillow above her head. I then shook out of my trance, and quickly looked back down at my phone, feeling heat rush to my cheeks.

I then noticed that all of those messages weren't just annoying spam - she also invited me to a party tonight. Yeah I'm definitely not going to that, I immediately thought. However, my deadpan decision was suddenly thrown into jeopardy as soon as I read the next few texts after that.

Ame: and if ur still debating on it, why dont u bring ur hot roommate with u ;)

Ame: then we can officially meet her instead of spying on her XD

Ame: you might be able to make a moove~

Dammit. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. It was a Tuesday night, yet they were having a freaking party?! Then again, I wasn't really surprised because my friends were never that bright in the first place. I thought about it for a moment, and realized that this is actually a way better plan than spying on Lapis. That way Amethyst and the others could just meet her officially. But how could I convince Lapis to come to a party -on a school night might I add- with a bunch of wasted gay chicks who'll probably be flirting with her like she's the last girl on earth? I also thought about making a move on her at this party, but I don't even know if she's gay.

Well...I guess there's only one way to find out right? I set my phone down on the sidetable and laid back down, looking up at the ceiling. I was devising a plan on how to ask Lapis to the party...then those thoughts turned into debates whether she was gay or not...then I fell asleep in mid-thought.

....

I woke up, sitting up once again, glancing over at Lapis's side of the room - she was now awake and sitting on her bed scrolling through her phone. She was already dressed in a fitted black t-shirt that read 'WATER WITCH' in bold blue letters. She also had black short-shorts and she was barefoot. The bluenette glanced at me as I continued to unintentionally stare at her.

I immediately looked away over to nothing specific, and I picked up my phone, mumbling a 'good morning'. "Morning? Uh, it's 1:30 in the afternoon..." she muttered, raising an eyebrow. My eyes widened and I checked the time on my phone, and sure enough, it read 1:32 PM. "WAUGH!!! MY ALARM DIDNT GO OFF?! SHIT I MISSED MY CLASS NO NO NO NO!!!" I squeaked frantically, stumbling out of bed.

"Dude, you alright? It's only the second day of school..." she said, sitting up now. "We had an important placement test today! And it was mandatory! Fuck, what am I gonna do..." I explained, searching for clean clothes to wear. "Just make it up...I ditch class all the time and just make up some sappy excuse to the teacher and they let me make up for the test..." well of course they would give in to your charm and let you make it up, Lapis Lazuli. WHO FUCKING WOULDN'T?!?! "Y-yeah I guess that could work..." I mumbled, keeping my gay-ass rants to myself.

"But I still have to study and prepare for the test..." I stated, sitting on the floor with a pair of jeans in my hands. "I gotta study for a few things, too. I guess we could head to the library or somethin'?" Lapis suggested, and I brightened almost immediately. "Yeah let's do it!" I replied a little too enthusiastically, so I tried again. "I mean, sounds cool, whatevs it's up to you, bro..." Oh my god what is wrong with you.

"Pfff." Lapis smirked and got up from her bed and stretched with an over exaggerated groan. I blushed as I examined her long, tan legs...that slim figure...those perfect arms...those perfect b--"Peridot your nose is bleeding." Lapis said, staring at me. "OH IT IS?! D-dammit clod fuck mnnghfpll..." I stormed to the bathroom, clamping a hand over my nose.

....

Lapis and I walked to the library, having small talk here and there, mostly about things we like, etc etc. I learned that Lapis really likes to swim, and she used to be a Beach City Lifeguard. She's also really into alternative music, and she now works part-time at the Starbucks down the street. Man, I wish I had gotten coffee during her shift yesterday...

Before we knew it, we arrived at the library, and we walked in through the large entrance. "So what're you lookin' for?" Lapis asks, mindlessly looking at the rather large shelf displaying books recently returned at the front. "Well, this class is more so based on technology, robotics, and computer science...so I guess anything in that genre..." I said, looking through the books in a nonfiction section.

We searched for a few minutes, and I eventually found one that looked good. "Aha!" "SHHHT!!!" the librarian shushed from behind her desk. "Sorry!" I whisper-shouted, walking over to Lapis carefully. I noticed that she was holding a couple books as well. "I found one..." I said. "SHHH!!" "sorry!" Lapis then looked back at me. "Cool, I did too. Let's bounce..." we checked out our books, and I was sweating bullets as the librarian kept eyeing us down behind her big-ass glasses as she scanned them.

Lapis must've noticed this, because as we walked away from the desk, Lapis purposefully stubbed her toe on a bunch of different shelves and trash cans, making a series of 'thump' and 'clank' noises that echoed the library. She then made her footsteps loud as fuck to where literally everyone could hear her, and she glanced back at the librarian smugly, giving her a shush us again I dare you look.

However the librarian said nothing, and looked down at her papers angrily. As we left the building completely, I began to snicker, and we both burst out laughing. "That was amazing..." I said, calming down from my laughing fit. "She doesn't need to get her grandma panties in a twist just 'cause we're talking, amiright?" she said, giggling. The smile on her face was quickly replaced with a cold stare as she looked in front of us.

My smile faded as well, and I tried looking in the direction of where she was staring, and realized who she was looking at - Jasper?! He then looked over in our direction, waving at me, but then immediately retracting as he spotted Lapis. I looked over at the bluenette, and she gave him a stare that looked like she wanted him dead. Am I missing something?!

"Whats wrong? Do you not like Jasper?" I asked her in concern. As soon as I said his name, Lapis flinched and looked at me in surprise. "Y-you know him?" she asked in a low voice. "Well he is my brother..." I said, looking to the side. Lapis then stopped walking altogether, staring at me in disbelief. "You're...J-Jasper's sister?!" she asked almost in a tone of...fright?

"Yeah...but I don't really talk to him much...it's been a while..." I explained. She just looked at me funny for a moment, and continued walking along, and I followed. "You alright?" I asked, trying to read her expression. "Y-yeah I'm fine...let's just get to the dorms so we could start studying..." she said, walking a little faster.
