Corrupted Heart - Steven Universe x Reader

Chapter 11

I was holding the pencil on my grip securely, tapping the end on my chin in an uncanny rhythmic pattern as I reread the question. I erased my incorrect answer with the rubber on the tip, grunting at my third attempt to answer the problem correctly.

It's been more than a week since I last saw Steven. It's super weird since we live so close to him. But, he hasn't come to visit me, so I assume he's busy and I haven't visited him, not even a text. I never realised how dull it was without Steven around to keep me occupied. I guess I was starting to get used to doing exceptional things with him that now that I'm back to my original life, everything seemed lamer than before. I was, however, frustrated that my bracelet was taken. I chewed the inside of my mouth, thinking about it. Even though it was made of plastic, it still was an important accessory to me.

"Honestly (Y/N). You just started school and you already--", my mum fussed mid-sentence, scoffing at the Warning Letter she had scrunched in her hand. I was trying to hide it from her, for the first few days she didn't find it. Until she was inconveniently cleaning out my backpack and noticed the crinkled, folded paper at the bottom of my bag and, one thing led to another.

"If I get another letter from the school, you're--".

My mother's head perked up at the sudden pounding on the front door, as she wasn't expecting visitors. She arched a brow at me, as I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing who could be knocking at this time. She got up from her seat, making her way to the door.

"(Y/N)! Steven is here!", my mother called out to me. Speak of Devil. I made my way to the front door, where Steven stood, along with Sadie. He grinned at me widely. Oh my gosh, that pink hoodie.

"Hey, (Y/N)!", Steven waved at me, with his other hand in his pocket. I flashed a warm smile at him plus a bonus wave at Sadie, who returned it. Glancing up, I abruptly saw Lars, slouching indolently behind Sadie. I didn't even notice him. But, I did notice he awesome glow-in-the-dark earrings he had on.

"Hey, guys! What's up?", I asked the trio.

"We're going to a spooky-movie party", Steven grinned, wiggling his fingers in front of my face like a ghost from some cheesy cartoon tv show. "You want to come?".

I peered up at my mum, waiting for her approval. She tapped her finger on her chin, deciding whether or not I should go. "Don't you have homework to do?", she asked me.

I curved my lip up, "It's not due for a couple of days, I'll get it done".

"Where is this party?", she questioned, with her voice crawling with curiosity. Steven inaccurately pointed over his shoulder. "At the lighthouse", he explained, smiling up at my mum. "My friend Ronaldo is throwing it".

My mother was still not eager or nearly convinced. I never actually told her about the last party I went to with Steven and Lars. I figured its best if I didn't tell her, considering I never asked for her permission.

"How many people will be there?", she continued to ask.
