Hellooooo anyone who might be reading this! This is a full length fanfic that popped into my head during English today. I hope you all like it!

Pearl's

Pearl woke to the smell of bacon from the kitchen. It was a smell that brought back many memories…all of them being from her first days of school. All of them bad.

On her first day of kindergarten, a grease fire started by the bacon burnt down her first home.

On her first day of second grade, the overheated tin foil from the pan gave her an ugly burn down her hand, and all her peers had called her 'Bloody Mary' even though it wasn't even blood.

On her first day of sixth grade, she was half asleep and mistook the jar of hot bacon grease as hair gel and had used it, frying her hair. She was shaved bald that morning.

But hopefully this time would be different. She changed from her pajamas into light coral shorts and a light blue tank top with a sequined star on it. Then she went to the first test of the year: The Bacon Disaster test. She shivered at the possibilities of what might happen. As she walked closer to the dreaded smell, she could hear her mom, shuffling about in the kitchen, and the sizzling of the bacon on the stovetop.

"Pearl? Are you awake?" she asked.

"Yes, mom…I'm right here." Pearl forced a smile at Goshenite.

"Good. Your breakfast is ready." Goshenite took a plate out of a cabinet and slid some of the bacon on with a spatula.

Pearl waited for the bacon to cool, blew on it, then took a bite. It tasted different from the bacon she usually had. "What kind of bacon is this, Mom?"

Goshenite smiled at her daughter." Turkey bacon."

Pearl cocked her head. It tasted…good. She shoveled it all in, still cautious and watching out for mishaps or misfortunes. But when none came, she let out a happy sigh.

"No bad luck?" asked Goshenite, winking. She knew all about Pearl's problems with bacon.

"Not a bit."

"Good." Goshenite smiled. "Now go get ready, school starts soon."

Pearl grinned. Maybe, just maybe, this first day wouldn't be so bad after all.

Jasper's:

Jasper woke slowly, evading the fact that it was 7:30 and school was supposed to start in half an hour. She threw on some clothes, not caring about the state of her hair (down to her waste, blonde, and UNTAMABLE AS HECK) and remembered to put on her yellow diamond pendant. All 10th graders were supposed to wear it. But Jasper didn't know why.

She ran downstairs, avoiding the piles of crap in the hallway AND the stairs. Shoving a few donuts into her mouth and a banana, she ran back upstairs and swiped the tooth brush across her teeth once before deeming them 'clean' (in reality they were about as yellow as her hair). Then she put on her red backpack on, not caring that the school supplies she had bought with her friend Peridot yesterday wasn't even in it. Then she waited at the corner of her street for her bus to arrive. Where the hell is Peridot? She's always so goddamn early. WHY ISN'T SHE HERE YET?

As though on cue, the blonde walked out of her house, which was conveniently on the corner. She adjusted her glasses, then sauntered over to Jasper. " Heh, thought I would be late, huh?"

"Um…." Jasper blushed. She had, but she knew her friend would get mad if she told her that YES, she HAD. "No."

Peridot gave her a suspicious look, then turned away. " You think people will care what I look like?"

Jasper gave her a quizzical look. "You look hot, girl. Why would they?"

Peridot rubbed her arm. "You really think so?"

Jasper shoved her affectionately. "Yeah. You will probably get a girl today, babe."

"Aw, shut up." Peridot said, shoving Jasper affectionately as well.

Then the bus pulled up.
