Chapter 13

I glanced at the time on my phone, and it read 5:46 PM. I had been laying in bed for the past 2 and a half hours plotting on how to murder my sister....hhh okay that's not what I was thinking but I was spit balling ideas on how to keep Lapis's attention away from Squari. I thought about our previous conversations from earlier, and Lapis seemed to be interested when Squari started talking about being involved in sports - so I decided to join a sport to grab Lapis's attention. How hard can it be?

-The Next Day-

First thing this morning I looked into the clubs and sports they had going on for our university, and track seemed like the simplest one - I mean it's just running. So I made arrangements to meet the coach and my first day of practice was this afternoon. I made sure that I was prepared and packed a bag with a shit ton of water bottles and other things. I heard Lapis walk in through the front door, and I continued packing, not looking back once. 

"What're you doing?" Lapis asked in an amused tone of voice. I stood up, facing her, and puffed my chest a little for extra confidence. "Lapis, I have officially joined the Beach City track team, and my first practice is this afternoon. It'll probably just be a warm up for me though." I bragged, praying that Lapis wouldn't see through my fragile ego. "Oh really?" Lapis asked, raising an eyebrow. Yeah, she's not buying it. "Well, looks like you'll have to show me your amazing speed at the track meet this weekend~" Lapis said.

Wait was that a flirt? WAIT THIS WEEKEND?! "Wait, th-this weekend?" I asked, my confidence now dissipating. "Well, you just joined, right? You joined pretty late in the season and literally just in time for their first track meet, so yes this weekend." Lapis explained, crossing her arms. "Oh! Haha! I knew that, Lazuli! This'll be a breeze. I can't wait to have my opponents eat my dust!" I said, secretly screeching on the inside. "Good. I'm glad you decided to join something, Peri. And remember we're going on that camping trip after the track meet." she said, and with that, she plopped down onto her bed and pulled her phone out.

Ah shit, I forgot about that. Ugh. I picked up my bag, and took a deep breath. "I'll see ya later, Lapis!" I said, and walked out the front door. "Ciao." I heard Lapis mutter in reply before the door closed behind me. I walked down the hallway and through the front doors, in the direction of the track.

. . . .

I arrived and noticed a lot of fit-looking girls were stretching, warming up and talking on the track. I also noticed one of the girls to be Sapphire. She is one of my friends that Garnet introduced us to, and she's really quiet and patient for the most part. She has long, light blue dyed hair with bangs that covered her eyes. Her height was on the short side, because she reached only a couple inches shorter than me. Sapphire is also known for being together with Ruby, aka one of the quarterbacks for the varsity football team.

In fact, they're both actually really popular around here, and it's been like that since middle school. Sapphire is in like a hundred different things, for instance she's a cheerleader, a track runner apparently, she was the high school student council president two years in a row, and the treasurer for the other two, she's in the tennis club, the chess club and those are just the things off the top of my head. Ruby is just known for football, but she's in the jocks group with my brother Jasper and the other meatheads, so she's pretty popular too.

You cannot separate Ruby and Sapphire. They were literally made for each other, and there's never a football game Sapphire didn't go to watch, or a speech, or tennis match, or whatever other big event Ruby didn't go to see Sapphire in. They were voted the cutest couple in high school like 3 years in a row, and no one sees anything breaking them apart anytime soon.
