Learning Curve (Human Stevinel College AU)

Chp 1 (her)

    Steven was practically jumping in his seat from excitement, but he attempted to sit as still as he possibly could since he was on a bus. The male clutched the straps of his big backpack that was settled onto his lap, and he felt the bus come to a slow stop at a bus stop, but after that the vehicle would begin it's long trip outside of Beach City, and to the Ivory Crystal College. Steven was looking outside the window, and was barely paying attention to the passengers who were getting off the bus, and whoever was getting on the bus. The male did glance at the last passenger, a female with wild pink dyed hair that was tied up into two large ponytails, and that same female sat near the front of the bus with earbuds in her ear. Stevens brown eyes continued to linger at the female for a bit longer than he should've, luckily the pink haired female was to engrossed in whatever music she was listening to even notice the male staring at her. Steven blinked once he realized that he was looking for to long, and he turned his attention to the passing landscape of the countryside, everything outside the bus seemed like a blur as the vehicle drove on.  After what felt like about an hour, the bus slowed to a stop, and Steven couldn't help but grin as he got off the bus, for he finally arrived at his destination. As he rushed off the bus, he swung his backpack onto his back, his pink organic bomber jacket fluttered gently in the breeze as he rushed onto the cement pathway. After taking a few steps, he stared up at the very large building in awe, his brown eyes twinkled like stars as he continued to look on. Soon he felt like he was tackled by someone in a rough hug, "Ste-man! You made it!" The feminine voice shouted, Steven instantly recognized the nickname, and recognized who hugged him. "GEEZ Amethyst, it's good to see you!" Steven laughed in excitement before twirling his friend while returning her hug, "you excited for your first day of college dude?" she asked after releasing the male from the hug. "Not officially my first day, but yes, I'm so excited about going on the "Newcomers Tour" with all of the new students moving in~" Steven smiled happily, "well hurry up man, that big crowd over there is where your supposed to go for that tour" Amethyst pointed to a very large crowd that was gathered on the front lawn, "oh thanks Amethyst, I'll see ya later ok?" Steven stated before rushing off to join the crowd, leaving the purple long haired friend to roll her eyes and chuckle out of amusement.

    Steven was soon a part of the crowd, he played with his brown curly hair as his brown eyes scanned the crowd. The male noticed that most of the new students seemed either bored out of their minds, or more nervous than anything. Stevens brown orbs landed on a familiar figure, the same pink haired female from on the bus, and she was a part of one of those bored students since she was tapping away at her phone. Steven took these few seconds to study the female, he noticed that she was dressed rather..... extrordinary. A black tank top with an dark pink upside down heart logo that was cracked in the middle, and the female was wearing a pair of short pink shorts along with black and fuchsia stripped stockings with her combat boots. Now unlike last time where Steven was able to look away before he was caught, the female noticed him staring, and she appeared to be extremely annoyed. Steven didn't realize he was caught staring until the girl began to approach him, which made him blush out of embarrassment. "Hey! What're you staring at?" She asked, stepping closer as she spoke at the male. Steven immediately felt intimidated by the approaching female, and he took a step back when she was now face to face with the male, "uh-uh sorry, I saw you on the bus earlier...." He began to explain, his heart thumped in his chest from terror as his brown eyes observed the female's facial features.
The male noticed how she was wearing eyeliner, mascara that was mostly on her lower eyelashes with dark pink eyeshadow, and he even noticed how she was wearing pink contact lenses. "Hmph.....you're new aren't you?" The female asked, she crossed her arms in front of her chest while tapping her foot on the ground. "Y-Yea I am....how'd you know?" Steven asked, his heart started to slow down a bit even though he was still scared about what the female was about to do to him. "Yeah, it's easy to tell who the fresh blood it. Do ya self a favor and stop staring you creep" the female hissed "or you'll lose something precious" she spat before walking away from Steven. Steven would be shaking in his boots, well if he was wearing boots, however he was just wearing his usual pink flip flops. Soon the group began to move in a direction, in which Steven hesitantly followed, and even though he was intimidiated no longer than a few seconds ago, he still had to know exactly where everything was so he wouldn't be a lost lamb in the massive school.

    After a couple hours, the tour soon came to an end, and now Steven was now allowed to able to go find his dorm. Steven was a bit exhausted from walking around so much, and he was also exhausted from avoiding the pink hair dyed female during the tour since he didn't want to make her angry again.  He trudged through the hallway of the third floor of the boys dorm, his backpack was hanging off of his back by one strap. Soon Steven arrived at his dorm room, the number plaque at the top of the door read 309, which matched the number on the piece of paper that had Stevens assigned room number printed on. The male then took out his assigned key and unlocked the rooms door, he then flicked the light switch to the on position, and as the lightbulb flickered on, he noticed that the semi-large room was bare except for a couple desks, a couple beds, a couple dressers, and a couple nightstands. As Steven stepped into the room, he noticed a second door which lead to what the male assumed was a bathroom. His flip flops echoed a bit in the room, and honestly he thought his roommate would have already been here. Well, I guess I'm alone for now, and now is the perfect time to nap I guess.... Steven thought to himself as he decided to choose the bed on the left, luckily the bed already had a set of sheets and a pillow on it. Steven sat on the edge of the bed and slid his flip flops off, and then he slid his pink jacket off of his body. Finally he collapsed backwards onto the bed and snuggled up into his pillow, where he finally drifted off into a blissful and peaceful slumber. After what felt like a while, Steven jolted into a seating position when he heard a loud THUD like sound coming from the doorway. His brown eyes immediately noticed the tall male that was struggling with carrying various boxes into the dorm room. "Here let me help!" Steven exclaimed, he shot off of the bed and rushed to grab a couple boxes that were about to fall out of the wobbly stack. "Whoa, hey thank you. You're Steven aren't you? I'm Jamie" the male spoke from behind his stack of boxes. As Steven grabbed a couple boxes, he was able to get a good look at his new roommate, now Jamie had somewhat shaggy light brown hair with brown eyes to match. "Y-Yea I'm Steven and it's nice meet you~" Steven introduced himself as he helped carry the boxes to Jamie's bed, "sorry I already claimed the left bed, I was taking a nap until I heard something fall" the male explained as he set the boxes down. "Oh I'm sorry, I'm afraid the cardboard collided with the corner of the door frame" Jamie chuckled before setting his share of the boxes on a dresser. "Huh, maybe today will turn out better than I thought....." Steven mentally thought, he continued to listen to Jamie talk about other things while smiling softly.
