Peridot's POV

My alarm goes off, nagging at me to get up. 5:30 am. Even after a few weeks of getting used to it, the buzzing still startles me a little more than I'm comfortable with. In an attempt to turn it off, I accidentally hit snooze without realizing.

I get up and go strait to my closet, not bothering to look at what I'm grabbing. I pull out a black tank top and some blue jeans. I don't want to be too exposed, so I also grab a green flannel shirt.

I go to the bathroom and try to do something with my hair, which, somehow, always ends up in a weird triangle shape. Among my friends, this has given me the nickname "Dorito". It gets on my nerves a bit, but I know there's nothing I can do about it. After a few minutes of trying to get it to go any other direction, I give up.

I start doing my morning routine, which basically consists of doing everything I hadn't done the previous day. Stuff like finishing homework and chores. In the midlle of a workshhet, my alarm goes off again, making me jump. At around 6:30, I get up to leave. My parents both work the night shift, and I'm too young to drive. All that, in addition to living quite a bit away from school, means that I have to ride the city bus. I don't really mind it too much, but sometimes the people are a bit too crazy. That makes me glad I can drown them out with my music.

When I finally get to school, a tall person with very blue hair is moving excruciatingly slowly. As a short person who moves quite quickly, this gets on my nerves. Finally, I'm able to get around them, and get to my first period.

Even though so many people were out in the halls, there are very few people in the classroom.I sit down in the back of the classroom, then put my earbuds in and read until class starts. I'm so engrossed in my book, that I barely notice the bell ring.

The teacher starts to take attendance and announces that we have a new student. I don't really care that much so i stop paying attention. That is, until I see the teacher glaring at me. I don't like to get into trouble, so I take my earbuds out and try to listen to the student introduce themselves.

"- just transferred from Gem Academy. Yeah, that's about it." She quickly took her seat in the back of the class, opposite from me.

I look her over and quickly noticed a few things. The fact that she doesn't want to draw attention to herself is obvious enough to me, so why would she have her hair so damn blue? Also, she is very tall. Well, everyone is tall to me, considering how small I am. However, this girl towered over everyone else in the class. Another thing that doesn't help when you don't want to be noticed.There was one other thing that I noticed, and that is that she is very attractive.

Wait a minute. Blue hair? Really tall? This is the person I was stuck behind in the hallway. What are the chances that she's in my class?

I didn't realize I was staring until she caught me. I looked away with my face a little warm. I noticed that I hadn't heard her name while she was introducing herself.

Who is she?

A/N: For those of you who are reading this who have already read the chapter previously, why?? This chapter was atrocious. But, hopefully it's easier to read now. After reading it over, and noticing how much my writing skills had improved, I decided to do a major overhaul to not just this chapter, but the story as a whole. I know I haven't even released the second chapter yet, but the ideas I had before really wouldn't have worked. I'm not going to promise anything like a schedule or anything like that. If you have been reading my stuff for a while (again, why?) you know that it won't happen. However, I will say that I'm going to try to write and update more often. As of right now, I have only been opening Wattpad only every couple months. I'll try to be on here more and hopefully actually write.

Well, see you next time.
