-Meanwhile-
-With Steven-
........................
The drive to Fairheart University was long. REALLY realy long. But it was all worth it. 

So worth it. 

Steven let his window slide down as the wind started breezing in his car. It felt good, and today was the perfect day. The sun was bright, the wind was as breezy as a tornado, and Steven was more spaced out than Neil Armstrong. He was smiling the entire way, thinking about how much this College/University would be worth it and he would finally become a therapist.

His mother, who everyone said was Pearl, was actually reluctant on his choice. His mental health wasn't as...healthy as it should be. Dealing with depression and bullying in the past. Of course those people actually became his friends eventually. And he hoped they would be at the same university as him. And besides, he always liked to help people. And that was what got Pearl to finally agree that being a therapist was a great idea.

And now, he was finally gonna fulfill it.

"I hope mom isn't breaking down crying right now..." Steven told himself as he exited the city, knowing how worrisome Pearl would get. Even after the party she could be worrying her ass off. "Note to self, face time them when I get to the University..."

While he was casually driving, thinking about the classes and things he's experience at the University, his phone vibrated from his pocket. He slowed down his car to take it out, and on it was a picture of him and Connie, both smiling and looking as happy as ever. Connie is his long-time friend and she was always interested in space and science. However, they'd be apart for now. She was probably somewhere at her new  Astrology University having the time in her life, but that doesn't mean they still can't be friends.

He pressed the answer button and held the phone up to his ear, smiling. "Hey Connie, whats up?"

"Steven! It's great to hear from you again!" Connie greeted enthusiastically. "I'm doing great actually. My scholarship got excepted and I'm gonna be attending Delmarva's University of Space and International Science. I can't believe I'm about to go to a school that's gonna teach me about NASA and planets and other galaxies...Oh I'm just talking randomly, howse everything going with you?"

"Wel same as you actually. My scholarship got rewarded for Fairheart, and I'm heading there right now." he replied with a grin. "I'm prepared for everything it's gonna give me."

"I'm so happy for you. You truly deserve it Steven. You're going for medical and therapy related things, right?"

"Mhm. I'm just turning what I do best into a career. And I'm sure it'll go pretty well."

"Well ya know..." She said teasingly. "I have my money on you getting a girlfriend while you're there~" Connie winked at him, causing Steven to blush lightly.

Though Connie could be right and he COULD be getting a sweet lil honey while at Fairheart, he still had his doubts that that'll happen. Besides, he was more focused on his studies than getting a girlfriend. "I..I...uh-"

"Oh I'm just messing with you Steven. You should've seen the look on your face! " Connie chuckled. "So, how much further are you until you reach Fairheart?"

Steven looked at the GPS in his car. "Well It says not too much further. As a matter of fact, I see it all the way from..." His voice trailed off as he observed the magnificent school from here. It.

Looked.

H u g e (thats what she said)

And as a matter of fact, it looked like a palace! Big, with fountains, and even statues of the Principals. There were 4 of them, though one had a few chips on it. 

Connie was still on the other line. "Steven?"

"....."

"Steven? Are you still there?"

"Huh? Oh sorry, I kinda got more spaced out that Sally Ride for a second."

"What happened?"

He sighed and looked back at the building. "Fairheart University...looks...fucking...EPIC!!!"

Steven described the exterior to her, and she was awed by the description. "Woah...you're right, it DOES sound epic! I know you're gonna have a great time there. I have to go, but call me later! Bye!"

"Later." Connie ended the call, and by the time she did, he had already made it to the parking lot of the University. And just like the building itself, the parking lot was large in size. He parked into the place closest to the University itself (its kinda like where you take the spot closest to Walmart-) and walked to the tent, where 2 tall women stood handing out keys and such.

One woman was a blonde, having yellow eye contacts and looked to be in her mid 40s. She had on a yellow suit and yellow earrings, plus a bit taller than the other woman by an inch or so. She was handing a girl, who looked to be Spanish or Mexican with dark pink hair, a gift bag and her key, along with a few more books for the trip.

The girl walked past Steven with an emotionless face. Man...if he got her as a roommate that'll probably be a bad time...

Steven walked up to the table where the other woman, who had tan skin and black hair with a dark blue fade, blue eyes, and a dark blue outfit, was holding a clipboard next to the other. "Name?" The lady with the yellow hair asked.

"Steven Universe," Steven answered, the lady in Blue flipping through the clipboard. She smiled kindly and said in a sweet voice,

"Of course! Yellow, how could you not recognize a star student such as himself? It's a pleasure to meet you Steven, I'm Blue Diamond, the University's counselor, anger management, and foreign language teacher" Blue introduced herself kindly in a soft tone. "And this is Yellow, gym coach and in charge of...disciplinary subjects."

"Hmm..." Yellow rose an eyebrow at Steven and whispered something in Blue's ear. Then they both looked at him, Blue with surprise. 

"Hm,, you're right, he DOES look a bit familiar.." she said quietly. 

Steven stood there, nervous smile on his face. "Pardon?"

"Oh it's nothing, Steven," Blue said, her calm smile appearing back on her face. She took a key from beside Yellow and handed it to him, along with a map of the campus. "Building 2, dorm room at the very top right. Your dormmate should be there already."

Steven took the key and read the numbers, 2-5. He looked up at the building. There looked to be at least 150 dorm rooms, most of them with their own window. His was at the very top, first row, last column. Luckily he wasn't afraid of heights, so this shouldn't be a problem. "Thanks. What's in the gift bags?"

"Ya know, school books, pencils...the usual."

"Gotchu."

After Yellow handed him his schedule, he went to the dorm building (of course taking him car with him) and entered. The halls were lined with rooms and stairs, among others. Was it gonna be hell going up all those stairs? 

Yes.

But did he have to get used to it because he'll have to do this for 4 years?

You bet your ass he would. 

"Welp..." he sighed. "Im gonna have fun a fun time getting to my dorm today..."

........................

-30 minutes later-

"Fucking...finally...." After around 30 minutes of climbing countless stairs, Steven had finally reached the very top of the building and to room #5. He took his key from his pocket and carefully twisted it into the lock, and opened the door. It creaked a bit, but he could see there were a couple posters decorated on one half of the room, along with a couple trinkets.

The room had 2 beds, one on each side of the room and a square window above each. Only there was an extra one on the right side, and one in the middle. There was a door leading to a bathroom and 2 doors at the end which he supposed were the closets. There was a TV in the middle and a dresser beside each bed. It was like living in a hotel!

Impressed, Steven stepped inside, ready to finally rest his back against the comfy bed waiting for him. Once he stepped in though...

"HI-YAH!!" A feminine voice screamed, kicking him in the stomach and knocking him down. 

"Ow, what the fuck?!" He groaned as he held his aching stomach. He looked up, seeing the same girl as before on campus. She didn't look too friendly, or too...happy. She wore a black hoodie with a dark pink broken heart on the chest, black sneakers, and black skinny jeans. She was in a fighting stance, and overall looked dangerous. "¿Quién diablos eres tú?" Translation: Who the fuck are you?!

"For one..." Steven started as he got up. "I don't speak too much Spanish. So I dunno what you said. But, I'm Steven Universe, your new dorm mate. If you don't speak English then, Mi nombre es Steven Universe. "

The girl sighed and rolled her eyes. "I can speak English, dumbass. And I dont care who you are. I'm just glad you're not a...yeah..." She walked off to her bed, which had a sort of gothic atmosphere. She took out a cigarette from her pocket. "You stay on your side, don't touch me, and don't be a snitch. If you follow those things, we won't have problems."

"Uh yeah...sure...well, I'm not a threat to you if that's what you think. I actually wanna be friends with you." Steven said in a friendly tone, hoping to get on her good side. He took out some things from his bag and set his phone on the dresser. 

"Look, I'm looking to get any friends. I don't need NOR do I want them! Especially you."

She took out her brochure and read through it. Steven was..pretty much nervous. And scared of her. Spinel took note of this and smirked. "Aw don't worry doll, I'm nothing to be afraid of. I won't bite. At least not that hard."

He gulped. "Y-yeah noted...just, don't bite me in my sleep-"

"Can't promise ya."

Steven sat down on his bed, trying to keep his mind off the fear he had of this girl. He didn't even know her name! But he was gonna be her dorm mate for 4 years and hopefully they'll become friends eventually. Right? And surely she was nicer than she seemed.

This was Fairheart University, and anything could happen.

Even if it seems they won't.

Hey Kat Kommunity!

So, chappy 1 is done! AND THE BOOK IS FINALLY BACK UvU It's only 1700 words but this is sorta like an introductory. Steven doesn't know the name of this mysterious girl, or anything about her. And Spinel doesn't seem to be too fond of Steven either. But will these two ever meet ends?

Maybe not.

I can't promise when the next chapter will be out, but it wont be TOO long. 

I hope not lmao. And beginning chappies will most likely be a little below 2100 words. 

Anyway, dont forget to vote, comment, and tell me what ya think!

Keep calm and sleep on, 

Katlady
