Chapter 2
The sharp sound of her high heels echoing down the halls filled Peridot with confidence. Her feet ached, but it was well worth it. Her smile was smug as she located her intended target. The girl's uniform was a mess, nothing new there. Peridot slid into the seat beside her. Peridots fingers itched to fix the girls tie. It refused to sit straight, much like its wearer.
'Why is she not looking at me?' She had her noise buried in a book. 'The Magic of Mathematics.' Strange, The girl was gifted but not studious. 'Why the hell is she not looking!'
Peridot deflated in her chair a little. Try to figure out how to attract the girls attention, She sure as hell wasn't going to ask for it. Peridot started to pull out her supplies. She felt the other girls soft hair agent the back of her hand, the smell of it made her head spin.
She had a plan. She made sure to trap some of the tangled hair between her fingers when she reached into her bag again. Peridots mouth turned up into a triumphant smirk as the girl's head shot up as she felt the tug.
"Hey! Rude much?"
"It wouldn't have happened if you brushed it once in a while Amethyst."
She now had Amethyst full attention. That was the way it should be.
Amethyst cursed as she looked back to her book. She pulled out what looked like a green box from behind the pages of her book . " You made me lose." She huffed. Of course she wouldn't be studying.
"How could you lose? you're just staring at a box." Peridot examined the the box. Amethyst smirked at her and slide closer to Her. Peridot ignored the fluttering in her chest when she felt warm skin on her arm. She held the box like it was the most precious thing in the world. 'Was it one of those cell phones the muggleborns always whine about?'
"This..." Amethyst stalling for suspense. Goosebumps spreading over her solder where Amethyst breath hit.
"Is the best hand held gaming system created by man." Peridot was doubtful of the claim. She was sure she had seen more advanced technology.
"What is this, game you speak of?" She had grabbed the system from her, pressing buttons at random try to figures out the mechanics.
"Tetris, P got it for me." Amethyst grinned made it hard not to throw the game out the window. "I almost beat P's score but Garnet's may be the highest ever." Peridot knew what she had to do.
" I can surpassing them"
Amethyst crossed her arms. Leaning back into her chair letting out a good natured chuckle.
"Prove it."
They spent that entire period in the back of the room hidden behind their books. Peridot had no idea what they were suppose to have learned, but she had Amethyst's undivided attention.
