lapis' POV
here i am. standing in the cold, waiting for my bus. it's another year of hell, aka quartz high school in this dump people call beach city. my outfit of the day was just a plain black tee, a yellow jacket, a red beanie, and some ripped black jeans.
i get distracted from a notification on my phone.
oh, it's the group chat!
amy_54: lmao did you hear there's a new girl at our school?
bluemom420: sksksk how'd you find out?
jasp.quartz: lmao doesn't, like everyone know about her at this point? she's a twerp from what i've heard. only 4'11 with nerdy ass circled glasses and her hairs a fucking dorito. seems gross to me ngl

that's my small group of friends. jasper, and amethyst (amy for short). i'm curious about this new girl, she's the only person i'll meet that's shorter than me. plus, the same old boring shit happens at our school. it's about time for a change.
i start to hear something, so i look up from my phone.
it's the bus.
i get on it. but i notice someone on it in the middle section of the seats, staring at her window who i swear i don't recognize. sure,
she could be a freshman, but i notice one thing.
circle-shaped glasses.
she's wearing a gray hoodie with an alien in the middle, those "nerdy" glasses jasper talked about, but honestly i kinda like them. i notice the rest of the seats are full besides hers so
i had no choice but to go by her.
after walking to her seat, i try to act cool.
"hey, mind if i sit here?" i ask.
"the actual hell, lapis? you're so awkward", i think to myself.
she replied "sure", so i plopped into the seat, put my headphones on, and played the trench album by tøp. before i load a song, i hear the girl speak.
"hey, you like twenty one pilots too?"
"yea"
"names peridot.", she says.
"i'm lapis", i replied.
she blushes a little, then returns to staring at her window.
peridot.
a beautiful name tbh.
