Peridot's POV
I . Am . Terrified. What am I supposed to do? Im certainly gonna get beat up, mom just had to move us in the middle of the year! Wait... Maybe I'm just overreacting... Actually no! I'm not overreacting ! Im gonna get my ass beat because I'm the new kid ! Ugh! Maybe I can just keep my head down and not draw any attention to me ? Yes! Yes! I'll do that! No one will bother me if I don't bother anyone!
After about an hour of debating on if I was going to school or not, I finally got up to get ready. I make my way to the bathroom and turn on the water, letting it warm up as I start brushing my teeth. My reflection looked terrible, bags under my eyes, pale skin tone, and acne. My horrible fucking acne that will never leave my face for some damn reason. Sighing I finished quickly and hopped into the hot shower.
The water hit my light blonde hair, soaking it as I squeeze some shampoo onto my open palm. I back up a bit to get out of the water and lather my hair in shampoo. I wait a few seconds before rinsing then applying conditioner, I rinse then get out.
I pick up my phone and noticed I have an extra hour so I decided to blow dry my hair, and apply some foundation to my horrible acne. I look at my reflection and slick back my short hair with gel, only to have the sides stick up. "I'm probably gonna be the only white kid at school again." I chuckle and stare at my light green eyes and freckles.
"Yeah I'll definitely be the only white kid."
I walk into my room and pull my white sweatshirt and green sleeveless vest on. I grab my bag then make my way downstairs, noticing the light was on. My mother was sitting at the table sipping on her coffee and watching the news.
"You're still here? I thought you left for work already." I say and avoid I contact with her, making my way to the front door.
"I start later today, I thought I could drop you off at school."
"No thank you, I'll walk to school... It's not that far from here anyways, see you later tonight." I leave before she can reply, I was immediately hit with the smell of salt in the air.
"Good one mom, move to some beach town in the middle of no where." I pull my hood over my head and put in my earbuds, blocking out sounds of waves crashing by. I start to walk down the road where my school is, well where everyone's school to be exact. Beach City High was also known as Beach City Elementry and Middle School, yeah that's how small the town was. So small that everyone had to share one school, we never had to deal this in our Home City.
I'm the mix of cursing this worthless town someone had the nerve to slam a wooden door open and HIT me in the stomach. "Oomph!" I grip my stomach and let out an agonizing groan.
"Can't you look before you fucking open the damn-"
"I'm so sorry!! I was in a hurry! My friends told me to hurry up I didn't see you there!" A boy the same height as me for some reason hugged me while repeating his apologies. (In human au I imagine them being around 5 feet tall)
"Steven come on we told your mother we'd get you too school on time !" A girl with pale pink hair and almost white skin said while poking her head out the car window.
"O-oh alright! Anyways sorry again ! I'm Steven! Let's talk again sometime!" He shakes my hands and runs into the car that held 2 other girls. "Byeeeeeeeee!" Steven yelled out the window while they drove away.
"Weird kid." I say under my breath and begin walking once again. Noticing almost everyone drives to school for some reason. Don't know why though, you can clearly just walk to it. But I soon found out why when water began to pour down on me.
"AGH!!!!"
"Need that ride after all Peridot?" My mother says behind me , I don't reply and just get into the car. She smirks at me and started the car up, the ride was quiet and quick. She said goodbye and I just waved while exiting the car.
My mother and I have a interesting relationship, we barely talk . Even though her and I live together in the same house and see each other every day. Well whatever, it doesn't really bother me. All I do for her is get good grades and she rewards me with tablets, iTunes cards and even a car that's just collecting dust in the garage.
"Hey! Hey you're the one from a few minuets ago! Hiiiiii!" This boy yells to me , what was his name again? Steven? I'm gonna go with Steven.
"Uhm yeah, Steven was it?" I stare at him and he nods.
"Yep!! I got to middle school here!! What's your name ??" He smiled brightly at me, geez this kid is probably on some serious happy pills.
"Peridot Diamond... If you're in middle school why are you on the High school part Beach City Academy?" I pull out my phone, trying to send him the message to go away. But I guess he didn't get it and just rambled on.
"Well all my friends are high schoolers! Also my mom and dad work here in the Highschool portion! Also my friend Connie has a lot of classes here because she's the top- Hey! Why are you walking away!?"
"I gotta get my schedule Steven, why don't you go to your friends or something and leave me alone?" I say harshly while walking to the office, Steven just laughed and yelled a goodbye to me while I left. This damn kid is so annoying, dumb clod.

I finally received my schedule and start walking to my first period. I get to the locker rooms and sigh, Just had to be p.e. My hands push the door open and I keep my head down, refusing eye contact with anyone. I change my clothes quickly and leave the locker room to line up for today's class.
A couple of people stare at me and I feel a bit uneasy, you see I'm not the best at sports. To be exact it was what I was bullied for in my previous school. I shiver at the thoughts and sit down on the bleachers as everyone finishes changing.
"Hello there everyone I'm Ms. Fire." (Ruby) A older woman with some muscular build said while smiling at her students. "We are starting a new unit today in p.e !! Prepare for our wrestling unit!" There was a loud cheer from the upper part of the bleachers.
"Yes yes calm down Jasper... Anyways! I'll be demonstrating the rules and some moves! Garnet come up here."
A tall girl stood up, she stretched a bit before walking over to the mats set out. Mats Fucking mats! I saw them before I came in! Why didn't I notice ??? I calm myself down a bit when they started demonstrating.
The girls beside me whisper something about how 'sexiness runs in the fire blood line' I try to hold in a laugh, wow that sounded so ridiculous. I take a quick around and noticed girls and some boys drooling over Garnet and Ms.Fire demonstrating.
Looks like I don't have a chance in the dating game here... Not like I ever had a chance with dating at all.
Ms.Fire and Garnet finish up the demonstration and the teacher started handing out wrestling helmets. I take mine cautiously and held it in my hands nervously. Every few second if drop it then pick it back up again.
"Since many of our students don't have the same weight class your partners will be chosen randomly. The rules will change a bit up too, if you're wrestling someone bigger then you just don't let them pin you and vica versa. I'll announce the first two people, Peridot Diamond."
FUCK OH FUCK THIS AIN'T GOOD
"And."
LORD PLEASE BE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING SMALLER THEN ME.
"Jasper Quartz."
That same loud cheer happened again, I turn my head and gulps audibly. A girl who was two times my size with bulging muscles made her way down the steps. Oh fuck I'm gonna get destroyed...
