Surviving

I'm not bitter on purpose, contrary to what those clods believe. I'm not a cruel person. They just happen to be idiots. That's why I don't interact with them. I am the superior here so why would I trouble myself with making friends of those small minded pigs.

When Peridot was a kid her social skills were just like anyone else's. She had a few friends and she was fine, but things change. As she developed anxiety around other teens she cut herself off from the world. She couldn't blame herself for how she was, so instead she took it out on everyone else.

Lapis was fine. She had a decent group of friends although she was by no means 'popular'. She was ok with that. She had a girl friend, something a lot of girls didn't have. Things were better now. She should be happy... right?

Neither of them really felt like they were living, but they weren't trying to live. They just wanted to survive.
