Chapter 2
“Sup PeriNerd,” Amethyst says and nods a hello to Lapis.
Peridot was frozen. She and Amethyst aren’t the best of friends but they’re cordial. Most the time though it seems that when whenever the pale purple haired girl who loves black leggings with stars cut out of them and a black tank top over a purple one says hello, she loses her ability to speak.
“Oh-kay,” Amethyst says after giving Peridot a weird look. “Yo Pearl, let me talk to you real quick,” Amethyst yells and quickly makes her way over to Pearl.
“You know, eventually, you’re going to have to say something to her,” Lapis laughs at her friend Peridot.
“Huh? What? What do you mean? I don’t know who you’re talking about,” Peridot responds blushing.
Lapis laughs at her childhood friend. She’s not blind. Ever since they started high school, Peridot has never been able to take her eyes off of one Amethyst Quartz.
“Amethyst. Eventually you’re going to have to say something to her,” Lapis clears up.
Peridot glances down at her feet and away from Amethyst and her long and wild pale purple hair.
“There’d be no point,” Peridot mumbles.
Lapis drops her smile and looks at her childhood friend. “Why would there be no point?”
“Because, she’s obviously hooked on that Pearl girl.”
“But isn’t Pearl still hooked on Rose? And aren’t Rose and Amethyst sisters?” Lapis asks confused.
“Half-sisters actually. Rose, Amethyst and Jasper. They’re all half-sisters. Apparently, they all have the same mother but different fathers,” Peridot informs Lapis.
“Welp, next time just say something.” Lapis laughs and places a gentle hand on her friend’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go get lunch.”
