Angel among us (Rupphire)

II; The project

*Ruby's POV*

So, it's two weeks now. I think that Sapphire girl trusts me. But the thing is, before I do anything I need to make sure that she really is the one. She needs to have some kind of mark or something. But it's like she's so perfect. So I suppose she's hiding it.

I noticed that she basically predicts the future. She's gonna say something like "oh I bet we're going to have a test today" and it actually happens. Or she's just writing the future. But nah, I think it's predicting. And that means it has to do something with her eyes. And she's hiding them. Great.

I've asked a few people about them. Nothing. She has always had hair over her eyes. Guess I'll have to find out on my own.

I'm calmly walking to my next class. Art. Not a fan of it. Our teacher isn't very demanding but I still can't get a grade higher than B-. My average in art is a C.

I have earbuds on, listening to the music as I walk. I have a grey sweater on with black jeans and a red flannel tied around my waist. my backpack is on my left shoulder and I have dark red vans on.

I walk into the classroom, scanning the room. I noticed Amethyst and sat down beside her. The bell rang shortly after and the teacher walked in. I can't be bothered to remember the names of any teachers.

"Alright, class! I have a special assignment for you today. You'll have two weeks to do this and you'll be working in partners-" she couldn't finish cause she was cut off by a bunch of groans. I looked at the second seat in middle row. Sapphire was sitting with Pearl. She looked pretty relaxed. That guardian was literally praying for them to be in pairs. I suppose she's worried that I and Amethyst will do something to her precious angel baby.

I looked back at the teacher. She was explaining the work we'll have to do. I basically missed it all but it's not like I could really care. I mean, half of the class are bunch of nerds. Bet they heard something of it. And Amethyst was listening somehow. I think. She can easily look like she's doing something when actually she's doing something completely else inside. Like, being half fucking dead. Not literally.

The teacher took some A4 paper that had the names of pairs in it. Oh, we can't choose our partners. Sad. The whole class groaned again.

Damn, they don't like working with someone else.

Well, most don't. Names are being called. I heard Amethyst's name being called and then Pearls. Ha, that's gonna be fun. then some more names are being called.

"Lapis and Peridot, Rhodonite and Pa- Padarapachsa? Wait, no Padparadcha. Ugh, whatever, you know who you are. "

How can you live with a name like that? Gee.

"Aquamarine and Topaz, Ruby and Sapphire, Nephrite and Spinel..."

Ooo, thank you, teacher, you just made my job easier. Ew, am I saying thank you?

I shoot a glance back at Sapphire and Pearl. Pearl is not happy. Sapphire looked the same. She looked at me and for some reason I instantly looked back.

Why?

I have no idea why. But I did. I mean, so what she caught me staring at her? I mean, it's nothing. It's nothing, right? Right. What the fuck? Okay, my fave feels hot again. What kind of other powers she has for fucks sake?

Uggh. I look at Amethyst who is also not happy to be in pair with Pearl.I grinned and poked her. She raised her eyebrow at me and pushed me. I raised my eyebrow, too and pushed her hard enough she almost fell of the chair. The teacher was busy already scolding some scumbag so she didn't notice what just made the two of us try our hardest to contain our laughs.
