chp 3 (trust falling)
Science was easy with Peridot sitting next to Steven. The teacher was talking to quickly for Steven to understand at times, it amazed him that Peridot was even able to write down notes at all. Peridot lent Steven her notes for him to copy, bit she just needed them back at the end of the day in which Steven agreed. Steven slung his backpack onto his back before making his way to his third class, which was Physical Education.
He entered the gym and sat on the bleachers, he was one of the first ones there so he decided to start copying the science notes. A few moments passed before someone sat a couple spots behind Steven, plopping her bag beside herself. Steven recognized that it was Spinel that sat behind him. He made no attempt to talk to her since Peridot's words rung in his head about what would happen if Spinel was pissed off. Spinel took out her phone and started texting someone as more students started to stream into the gym. One of those students was a very tall, muscular woman with slightly orange hair and her skin was various shades of skin tone which indicated that she had vitiligo. She sat right next to Steven, giving a type of intimidating vibe. "New guy huh?" She spoke, looking down at Steven. Steven gulped and looked up at the woman. She was wearing a white tank top with black exercise pants and tennis shoes to match. "Y-yea" he squeaked, feeling very small. "I'm Jasper" she gave a deep, but raspy chuckle "relax small fry I'm not gonna hurt you" Jasper reassured. "O-ok.... I'm Steven" he introduced himself, hesitantly holding his hand out for Jasper to shake. Jasper gave another chuckle before shaking his hand. Her grip was definitely something as it felt like she was going to crush his hand. "Why are you wearing flip flops in September?" Jasper asked "I usually wear flip flops since it's still warm, but I do have pink sneakers" Steven explained.
There was a small snicker from behind, but when Steven looked back he saw Spinel was still texting on her phone. "Was she laughing at me?" Steven asked himself, deep in thought. His thoughts were soon interrupted by the PE teacher/coach that entered the gym. "Alright, I'm Sugilite, now instead of doing dodgeball like I wanted to, the principal has informed me that we shall be doing trust falls and other wimpy stuff. So look around you and whoever the hell you see is your partner" she barked.
Every other student began to look for a partner, which in the end left Steven and Spinel to be the only one that hasn't found a partner yet. Spinel grunted as she got up from her spot and started to walk down the large bleachers. Steven got up from his spot as well and began making his way down the steps of the bleachers. As Spinel made her way down, she accidentally stepped on one of the straps of someone's backpack, causing her lose her footing and causing her to fall backwards. Steven heard her slip and turned around quickly, his instincts kicked in and he grabbed the front of Spinel's tank top to stop her from falling. "Uhm...." Steven gulped a little, realizing what he was doing. Spinel could feel her face heating up and quickly regained her footing. "Are you-" Steven was about to ask but Spinel quickly cut him off with an "I'm fine" before rushing past him, giving an accidental shove, so she can get off the bleachers.
