I woke up with a massive headache, and I didn't even wanna open my eyes for like 13 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to miss any more classes, so I forced my eyes open and hissed at the sudden brightness shining in from the window. Once my eyes adjusted, I checked the time on my phone, and it read 8:16 AM - I had 44 minutes until my first class started. I sat up in bed and immediately looked over to Lapis's side of the room.

She was typing on her phone, probably unaware that I was awake. Her hair was ruffled, and she had a gray cropped tank top and her same black short-shorts. By the looks of it, she hadn't even gotten ready for the day yet - which means she didn't go to her class? "Did you miss your class?" I asked in a horrible raspy morning voice, my head still pounding.

"I overslept. Too tired from last night's events. Shoulda reconsidered having a party on a school night." she replied, not looking up from her phone once. "Oh yeah...sorry..." I muttered, looking down at my blanket. "It's chill. How's your head?" she asked, with a little more concern in her voice this time. For some reason that change of tone in her voice lifted my heart up, and I brightened almost immediately. 

"Still hurts...but nothing I can't handle." I said, cracking my knuckles for the 'tough' effect. Okay that's a lie, this headache is actually killing me inside and out but she doesn't need to know that. "Surprising that you care..." I said in the most confident tone I could muster up. Lapis then looked up from her phone at me and then darted her eyes back and forth. Was that a small blush on her cheeks?!  "Just curious is all." she deadpanned, shutting off that concern in her voice. Well it was nice while it lasted.

"Are you gonna go to any of your classes today?" I asked, hopping off of the bed. "Probably not." she muttered, on her phone once again. "Didn't think so..." I replied, walking to the bathroom to take a shower.

....

"So, didja guys bang last night?" Amethyst asked suddenly, and I choked on my Arizona Tea I was previously drinking. The liquid went everywhere and I jumped up to grab some napkins to clean the mess up - of course Ame followed me. "Of course not! I wasn't that drunk..." I replied defensively, clearly blushing hard. "You can't fool me, Peri. I know you wanna do that stuff with her...you just gotta step up your game. Trust me." she said, watching me grab paper towels.

"The last time you told me to trust you Lapis went missing and didn't give a flying fuck about me." I muttered. "Well...did you guys do anything after she carried you home?" Amethyst asked, a little more care in her voice this time. "It was generally a blur, but from what I remember, all she did was put me down on my bed and she went to her bed and we both fell asleep...but I think we almost kissed on the roof...until you showed up." I claimed, glaring at Amethyst.

"Heh sorry dude. You'll get another chance. Trust me." "If you say that again I'm shoving this spork up your ass and bitch-slapping the shit out of you." I growled, holding up a spork from a cup near the paper towels. We walked back to our table and cleaned up the mess - and by we I meant me. "Oh by the way, we're heading to the lake after our classes. You wanna join us?" she asked.

"Eh...I'm not really a good swimmer." I replied. "Come onnn it'll fun! Me, you, Garnet, and Pearl! Get your mind offa last night." she explained. I replied with a 'hmph' and threw my now empty can in the trash. We walked out of the cafeteria together and we eventually went our separate ways - me to my dorm room and Amethyst to her next class. 

Once I arrived at my dorm,  I found Lapis's back turned to me as she was sitting at her desk. I walked a little closer and noticed that she was drawing something in her notebook. I guess she didn't notice that I was there, because she had earphones in and she didn't react to me coming in. The drawing was beautiful - it was a girl with a halter top tied on by a long ribbon. She also had a flowing skirt and these large wings made of water expanding from her back. Not only did the character look like Lapis herself, but she also looked...sad.
