Welcome to this Lapidot Human High school AU. This story aims to break each character's cliches; Peridot isn't a total video game nerd, and Lapis doesn't swim. That being said, I remade this story, as the grammar and formatting was overall too much to handle, and many plot concepts could've been handled much better, and changing it would've meant redoing every chapter completely. I felt that I should keep the integrity of the story (and prevent confusion in past readers) by making it in a new document. It is attached to this account, so please read that one and not this. Thanks.

Peridot:

I walked through the doors of my new high school, Homeworld High. It was a nice five story school in the middle of a forest in a small town called Beach City. I'd transferred mid-year because I'd hated my old school. I'd probably hate this one, too. I liked the learning, but not socializing. And this place was a boarding school. Great.

I walked down the hallways, unsure of what to do. I pulled my green binder out of my green backpack – my favorite color was green – and I glanced at my schedule, which I'd printed on green paper.

"Homeroom 104," I read aloud.

I glanced around. The hallways were empty. Perfect, I was already late on my first day.

I hear the flush of a toilet, and I see a pretty girl with blue hair walk out of the girl's bathroom. I almost immediately blush. Calling her pretty was a huge understatement. She had blue hair that came down to her shoulders, pale freckles, and a mischievous grin. She was wearing a black tank top, bleached jean shorts, a blue hoodie wrapped around her waist, and a black beanie. I almost immediately blushed.

I had to talk to her. I couldn't let someone so beautiful pass me by. "Excuse me, but could you tell me where Homeroom 104 is?" I manage to stutter.

The girl smirks, and I feel a chill run down my spine. "Sure thing, Greenie," she replies.

"Greenie?" I question.

She looks me up and down. "Yeah, we have school uniforms here. And in case you're wondering, they're not green." She said.

I looked down at what I was wearing. I had on a lime green hoodie with dark green leggings. My shoes were green converse. I could already tell what a great impression I was going to make here.

I blushed. "Not everything I own is green," I stammer.

She gives me a lopsided smile, one that lights up the room and only makes me want to know her more. I blush silently.

"Whatever, dude. I'll take you to your homeroom. Just follow me," she says with a shrug.

Just then, my feet started to get wet. I looked down and saw water pooling around the bathroom door.

"We should probably hurry, though. I kind of flooded the bathrooms. Again." The blue haired girl said, still smirking.

"How do you flood the bathrooms more than once?" I exclaim.

"What can I say? I'd call it talent, but that would hint that I know what I'm doing, which I clearly don't." She pauses at the sound of footsteps. "Are you coming or not?" she says, a tone of urgency in her voice.

I nod, and begin to run. We're making good progress, until I feel my foot slip out from under me.

"I'm falling!" I exclaim.

She turns back around and glances behind me. I know that if she stops to steady me, the person coming will catch us. Her faces sets in a mask of determination, and she rushes forward to steady me. But she's too late, and I begin to fall. She reaches out and catches me in her outstretched arms. We look into each other's eyes for a moment, my pale green against her ice blue.

I realize I'd been staring, and she had too, and I feel heat rise to my cheeks. The girl smiles gently, as if reading my thoughts.

Suddenly, the footsteps we heard earlier stop. I look up and see a muscular girl with a fake but expensive tan and white bleached hair staring at us. The blue haired girl gasps and drops me. I hit the floor with a soft thud.

"Jasper." She whispers, clearly terrified.

oO0Oo

The girl called Jasper struts over. I can't quite read the look on her face; but it's both arrogant, angry, and happy all at the same time. I'd seen that look before at my old school. It was usually plastered on every bullies' face right as they found the best way to torment me.

"Well, well, well. Are you hitting on my Lapis?" Jasper asks.

The blue haired girl – I think Jasper called her Lapis – takes a step back. "No, Jasper, she was slipping, and I-" Lapis says, cut off at the end.

"You think you can make a move on my Lapis when I'm not watching?" Jasper interrupts, looking at me.

I gulp. "No, it's not like that, I…" I stutter.

"And I'm not yours, Jasper. I never have been, and I never will be." Lapis cuts through my pathetic stammering.

Jasper walks up to Lapis. The blue-haired girl freezes with fright as Jasper picks her up by the front of her shirt and throws her backwards. I'll never forget the look on her face; an expression of pure terror. It lasted only a second, right up until she hit the wall behind her, crying out on contact. She limply falls to the ground, and her eyes flutter closed.

"Lapis!" I cry, rushing over to her. A thin trail of blood drools from her mouth. I gingerly pick up her head and wipe it away. Her hair is soft, and she smells like a warm summertime ocean breeze. I start furiously blushing. I should be helping her, not admiring her.

"Hey, runt, I'm not done with you yet." Jasper says.

I quickly whip my head around just in time to see her fist hit me full on in the left eye. I cry out in pain, and Jasper laughs.

I hear footsteps coming down the hallway. Jasper smirks, and stands in a fighting position, but she doesn't move. It's an obvious trap. She's baiting me into a fight.

I look back at Lapis' unmoving body, and rage surges through me. I've never been much of a fighter, but today I'll try for her. Who cares if it's a trap? Some people are worth getting hurt for.

I run up to Jasper and kick her in the gut right as a teacher rounds the corner.

"No fighting in the corridors! Break it up!" I hear a voice yell from behind me.

I turn around, and see a teacher dressed in yellow walking towards us.

Jasper smirks, and whispers "You're in for it now, punk."

o0O0o

Minutes later, I sit in the principal's office. Jasper had been excused from this happy meeting.

"Fighting! On your first day at school! I'm very disappointed in you, Peridot!" The yellow robed teacher yells at me.

I cower at her words.

"I think we'll change your schedule. From now on, your homeroom will be room 008. Report there immediately." The teacher says.

"Yes Ms…" I trail off, not knowing her name.

"Ms. Diamond." She says.

I bow my head and run out of the room.

o0O0o

Room 008 was in the basement. It was supposed to be a storage room, but apparently they needed the space for another classroom. I walked down the stairs, a glum feeling in my stomach. This had been a horrible first day. And I still didn't have a uniform on. I found Room 008. I put my hand on the cold, metal doorknob, and took a deep breath. I opened the door, and the scene inside was pure chaos.

I saw a couple passionately kissing in the back of the room. In the front row, two girls were loudly arguing, making large gestures with their hands as they spoke. There was only one boy in the classroom, and he was choking on a "Cookie Cat" ice cream bar while a girl trying to save him was pounding him on the back. The only one alone was a girl laughing her head off at the choking boy. But I recognized her just as she turned around. How could I forget those ice blue eyes?

"Hey, it's the Greenie!" she called. It was Lapis.
