My playlist, which is full of old songs from my childhood mind you, was pretty sad to listen to as we drove through our new town. My parents divorced when I was younger and so now, I live with my mom. It was her idea for us to move while in my junior year of high school, away from everyone and everything I ever knew. But, it's ok I guess. At least we live by the beach. In a town called Beach City, close to Empire City and Jersey. It's a nice little town, very scenic but.. it doesn't quite feel like home yet. As we pulled into our driveway, I spotted a familiar symbol etched into the street sign. "We're here honey, help me unpack the car." My mom called from outside the car, forcing me back into reality. "Kay." So I got out, and helped.

We finally finished unpacking the house when my mom called me downstairs. I made my way down and stood face to face with her. "Here's $30, go explore the town and get something to eat." She placed the money and an extra house key in my hand. "Oh uh, thanks." Looks like I'm exploring for the rest of the day. "Do you want to take the car?" I'm not that comfortable with driving. "N-no, I'll walk."
As I walked out the door, I found myself staring at the symbol on the street sign again. "I really hope they don't live here.." I shook the thought out of my head and kept walking, eventually coming across a donut shop. "Donuts sound amazing right now." I walked in, only to see a young boy, probably 13, sitting on the counter, talking to an employee with bleach blonde hair. As the door opened, the boy stopped talking and ran, stopping in front of me. "Hi, my name's Steven. Are you new here?" He seemed nice enough. "Yeah, I just moved here today. I'm taking a self guided tour around the city." "That's cool, what's your name? I really like your hair." Oh yeah, I'm a bluenette. "Oh, thanks. My name's Lapis Lazuli, but you can just call me Lapis." I feel like I can trust him. "Oh, like the gem?" Welp, there it goes. I'm named after a rock. "Y-yeah." "That's so cool, I have some friends names after gemstones too." He said with a smile. "O-oh yeah?" Relax Lapis, I'm sure there's plenty of people named after gems.. "Yeah, I can introduce you if ya want." Uhh.. "It's ok, im sure I'll meet them eventually." Unfortunately. "Come on, I insist." He was really persuasive. "OK, I guess it couldn't hurt." But it will.

Hey guys, I'm bringing over a new friend to introduce! She's named after a gem too!
{SaltyBird}
Steven, how many times have I said, don't talk to strangers?
{PurplePuma}
Too many times to count, Pearl.
{SmallDorito}
Do I have to socialize? I'm almost on the boss level of my game.
{RainbowSquare}
It'd be rude not to, Peridot.
{SmallDorito}
Fine.
{QuartzKid}
Yayyy!!! We just got to the beach. Maybe she can join us?
{RainbowSquare}
Possibly.

<Lapis>
The beach here is so nice, clear water, white sand, beautiful would be an understatement. I just hope this goes okay. Maybe they aren't the people I thought. Or if they are, maybe they've changed. My train of thought was interrupted when a raindrop fell on my shoulder. Should've brought an umbrella.. "We're here Lapis!" Steven said as we came across a cliff that, strangely enough, resembled a large woman holding what I assumed was Steven's house in her hands. My mouth must've been agape because I heard Steven say "cool right?" "Yeah, it's nice." We made our way to the door and my stomach twisted as he opened it. C r a p. It was them. The Crystal Gems.. They sat at the table looking at me with wide eyes. Of course they'd remember me. They're the ones who made my middle school life, a nightmare. It's a long story, one for later.. "Hey guys! This" he gestured to me "is Lapis." "Oh, yes. We know her." Pearl. The worst of them, spoke. "Whoa, you guys know each other?" Steven asked. "Well, she doesn't know all of us." Garnet. She wasn't as bad as Pearl. "Oh yeah -heh- she doesn't know Peridot." Amethyst- wait, Peridot? She must be new. "I thought I told her to be down here?!" Pearl squawked. "Go get her Amethyst." Garnet said while fixing her shades. "I'm coming, I'm coming. Sorry, I was distracted." A nasally voice sounded from the hallway. Just as I turned, a very short girl with triangle shaped hair came into view. She also had very light skin, round glasses, and cute freckles. Wait- did I call her cute? Nope, probably just my imagination.

<Peridot>
I slowly made my way into the living room, and I saw an unfamiliar figure standing in the middle. She had short creulean hair and tan skin. Her body was perfectly slim and toned. "Gosh Peridot, can you not go one day without having your extremely gay thoughts?" "Peridot, this is Lapis Lazuli." Garnet spoke, breaking me out of my trance. "It's just Lapis." God, her voice was angelic- wait, why am I acting like I'm in love with her? We just met. She could be a murderer for all I know. "I'm Peridot, but you already knew that." She looked pretty nervous around the others.

-2 hours later-
We've been talking forever, and I think Lapis got pretty tired of it. She hasn't been paying much attention, only to Steven. Suddenly, she got up and spoke. "Well, it was nice coming here and, meeting you but I'd better be going." It was pretty dark outside now. She went to the door and left. Just like that.

I wonder if she's going to Beach City High..
