I'm NOT A Baby Anymore

Chapter 2: Friends

Pink was up extra early, she could hardly contain her excitement. Though she loved her family, she also needed a break from them.

She did her hair, put make-up on, and got dressed in a short pink dress and a jean jacket. She was tugging on her white leather boots when Yellow knocked on her door.

"Pipsqueak it's time to get up for school-" she stopped mid-sentence as she opened the door and eyed her baby sister's appearance critically.
"No freaking way in hell are you wearing that to school!" She growled and Pink glared at her sister defensively. Why was she always so controlling over everything she did?

"Yes I am, you're not mom!" She grumbled already Yellow was souring her good mood and she had been so excited too.
"Wanna bet, mom's not going to let you wear that either!" She snapped and Pink, though knowing her sister was probably right, was too stubborn to admit it.

"There's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing, you're insane!" She snapped storming past her sister as she made her way downstairs. Yellow was tailing her closely, obviously not happy with her.
"Pink!" She growled trying to grab her, but she ducked into the kitchen and narrowly missed knocking their mother over. White moved her cup of coffee out of the way to avoid the fuming teen.

"Pink.." her mom exclaimed warningly.
"Sorry!" She didn't mean to sound so bitter or sarcastic, but it was all Yellow's fault for being so bossy and ruining her day. Thankfully Yellow interrupted before her mom could reprimand her for attitude.
"Look at what she's wearing?!" Yellow exclaimed angrily and her mom turned studying her youngest.
"Nothing is wrong with what I'm wearing you hypocrite!" She snapped angrily biting into a apple.

"Pink Rose Diamond are you wearing makeup?" Her mom demanded darkly as she took her youngest's chin in her hand, tilting her face towards her and Pink pouted at her mom, pulling away roughly.

"Yeah but you heard Yellow, I look twelve... I need this.." she begged. White shook her head in a mixture of disbelief and irritation.
"No buts, you most certainly don't need it, you want it, now go wash it off, this instant!" She commanded and Pink pouted further.

"Fine." She whispered brokenly as she shoved past her mom.
"Pink attitude!" She warned but no reply came. "Yellow I know you worry but pick your battles please!" She whispered tiredly. God it was only seven in the morning and today was already giving the worn mother a migraine. Yellow grumbled something and stormed away.

"Pink come on Starlight you have to go, the bus is here!" White called up the stairs. Her teen emerged from her bedroom, tear stains on her cheeks, but the makeup was gone, and she was wearing leggings under her dress. Obviously Yellow had harassed her till she agreed.

"If I don't make any friends it's all your fault!" She snapped trying to maneuver around her mother and out the front door. However White was quicker and grabbed her by her backpack and tugged her into a hug.
"I Love you Starlight, be safe, have fun and if people don't befriend you for being you then they're not worth it darling." She kissed Pink's cheek, the teen sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry for being mean and disobeying you... again... Will you tell Blue I said goodbye when she wakes up?" Pink asked meekly and White smiled kissing her temple as she nudged her towards the front door.
"Of course. Love you." She whispered softly and Pink suprisingley wrapped her arms around her mom and kissed her cheek.

"Love you too Mama!" She called loudly as she ran to the bus. She threw a half felt bye over her shoulder before she climbed aboard. White sighed, she was growing up so fast.

Pink was struggling, the stupid schedule was confusing and all the halls looked the same. How was she supposed to tell the difference between D Hall and B Hall...ugh! She lifted the paper rereading the words a few times in utter frustration.

"Stupid highschool! Stupid Yellow, stupid day!" She grumbled before a gentle hand touched her arm, startling her into the lockers.

"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you..." A girl with short blonde hair and wide blue eyes was staring at her apologetically "You looked so lost ...my name's Pearl, I'm a sophomore and seeing as by the looks of it you're a freshman...I thought I could help...sorry..." She muttered, she was so tall. Pink picked herself up and smiled when Pearl assisted her carefully. This was her chance to make friends.

"Thank you so much, I am a freshman and completely lost." She chuckled softly and Pearl smiled.
"Well take my arm I'll lead the way um..." She looked down at Pink who smiled at her savior stupidly before realization dawned on her and she blushed heavily.

" Oh um... Pink...my name's Pink Diamond." She exclaimed and Pearl nodded winking at her.
"Well then my Diamond allow me to escort you."
