Steven couldn't rip his gaze away from Spinel, he wasn't expecting her to be interested in graphic novels, and he decided to use that type of topic to properly talk to Spinel, provided that she immediately doesn't shove him again. Steven gulped and let his brown colored eyes linger for a little bit longer, which quickly darted away from the female when she briefly looked up from her graphic novel. Spinel didn't notice Steven right away since he was behind shelves that were mostly filled with books, but there was just enough space, from where he pulled a book out, for Spinel to see part of his face and some of his curly  brown hair. This time however, she wasn't irritated that he was around, after all, the library is a public for students and teachers to check out materials needed for the year. Steven glanced over quickly once he believed that Spinel had looked away, and he sighed in relief when he noticed her attention had returned to her graphic novel. He gulped before taking a few steps down the isle of shelves, then when he approached the end of the row, he turned the corner and began to approach the female. Spinel didn't exactly notice that Steven was approaching her, well, not until she heard the sound of his flip flops becoming more audible. "Hey, I didn't know you read graphic nov-" Steven began to speak, only to be rushed to the side by an excited Jamie, and Spinel glanced up from her graphic novel to witness all of this. "Steven guess what!" Jamie asked, pulling Steven a few feet away from the curious Spinel, which made Steven sigh a little out frustration, "what is it Jamie?" he asked, even though he probably already knew what Jamie was going to say. "I joined the Drama, and the Improv club!" Jamie squealed, his face giddy from being ecstatic over joining a club that held his interests. "I saw you help with passing out the posters for the drama club, but hey, I'm glad you joined the Improv club as well" Steven smil.ed, "I joined the AcaPals, an acapella group" he stated proudly. "Oh wow really? I didn't know you could sing, do you also play an instrument?" Jamie asked, the duo unaware that Spinel was tuned into their conversation. "Actually yeah, I can perform on a bunch of different instruments, but my favorite one is my personal ukelele" Steven explained, slinging his backpack off his body, the head and part of the fret board was sticking out from the opened part of the backpacks zipper. "I've had this since I was a young kid, my dad taught me how to play it and even gave it-.....oh...." Steven sighed softly, he was excited at first to show Jamie one of his most prized possessions, but his happiness was washed away when he opened up his bag, only to bring out the semi smashed acoustic instrument with the fret board broken and splintered with the strings only holding the two pieces together. Jamie's face fell, "oh no, Steven what happened?" He asked, observing the broken instrument with Steven. "I don't know.....I think it was when I fell backwards earlier this morning...." Steven sighed softly, his brown colored eyes became glasses over, however he held back his tears as he stuffed the pieces into his backpack. "Can it be fixed?" Jamie asked gently, trying to sound a bit hopeful for his roommate, his hand gently rubbing Stevens back as a way to comfort him. "Maybe.....it's pretty busted though, I'll have it looked at later this week. I'm going to bring this back to our room, and I'll see you later ok?" Steven simply stated, in which Jamie nodded in response before walking away to a different part of the library. Steven sighed before turning around, hoping to talk to Spinel finally, only to find out that she had left during his and Jamie's conversation

   Since Steven discovered that his ukelele was broken from his accidental fall from that morning, his mood shifted drastically. He trudged through the hallways of his dorm floor, a bit mentally and emotionally exhausted from the day, and he just wanted to retreat back to his room before anything else would happen. When he neared his door, the male couldn't help but feel a pair of unsettling eyes boring a hole through his torso, freezing him on the spot as his hand rested on the door knob. Steven turned his head to the right, his brown eyes scanned the empty hallway to find nothing, he then turned his head to the right, his brown eyes studying the seemingly empty hallway. Now the way this hallway works, it's a straight shot down to the end of the hallway, only to curve to the right to access the last of the boys rooms. Steven began to develop a sinking feeling in the bottom of his stomach, his feet finally began to move slowly, and he inched his way down the hallway to look around the corner. As soon as the male peered around the corner, his eyes landed on a familiar female figure leaning against the wall, her back was resting against the flat surface as her pink colored eyes locked onto Stevens, the sole of her right foot also laid flat against the wall. "Spinel? What're you doing here?" Steven asked, completely forgetting the fact that Spinel never introduced herself to him. Her pink colored orbs flashed with confusion, slight annoyance, and her mouth hung agape a bit to show how surprised she was, "how in the FUCK did you know my name?" she asked in a defensive manner. Stevens eyes widened slightly from her question, "O-Oh uh a woman named J-Jasper helped me up after y-you shoved me in the grass, and she mentioned what your name was..." Steven explained, backing up a bit from the approaching female, "w-wait how'd you get in the boys dorm?" he asked. "Don't worry about that, now answer me this...." Spinel spoke lowly as she slowly walked closer to Steven, "why were you staring at me at the library?" she finally asked. "H-Huh? Wait hold on, you were the one staring at me during the English Lecture, what was that about?" Steven asked, however he failed to realize that he was cornered in a, well, corner due to him backing up to much. "Why do you care about what I do exactly?" Spinel asked, annoyance dripped from her voice as she stepped even closer to her male. "I-I don't, well not fully, but for the most part, it was just super weird" Steven answered, now realizing just how close Spinel was to him, which made his face flush a light shade of pink hue. "Good...." Spinel huffed before walking backwards a couple steps, placing her hands on her hips as her pink colored eyes examined the male in front of her. "Hmph. Anyways, I didn't come here to confront you" Spinel huffed before turning her head to look away, her hands that wore fingerless gloves were still placed on her hips. "Huh? Then what're you doing here?" Steven questioned, his fear subsided a bit to let in some confusion. "Just....." Spinel sighed a little "hold out ya hand" she finished speaking, her pink colored orbs glanced back to look at Steven. "Why?" He asked, cocking his head as his curiosity increased, "what does she have planned?" the male mentally asked himself. Spinel turned to face Steven, a sneer developed on her face, "just do it!" She hissed, her voice had a commanding tone threaded within that slight Brooklyn accent of hers. Steven flinched from her sudden shouting, he then closed his brown colored eyes and held out his hand, the palm of his hand facing the ground. Suddenly he felt something warm wrap around his hand, which prompted the male to slowly open his  eyes, his brown irises realized that Spinel was holding his hand with both her hands. Stevens face flushed as he looked up at Spinels face, confusion shined through his eyes, until he felt something poking the palm of his hand. Spinel slowly released her grip from his hand, revealing that she placed a twenty dollar bill in his hand,  her face continued to hold a small sneer. "I don't get it...." Steven simply stated, briefly glancing at the twenty dollar bill before looking back up to eye Spinel. "Hmph.....for your ukelele" the fuchsia hair colored female explained, then turning on her heel, and headed towards the exit. "W-Wait hold on" Steven spoke up, rushing to Spinel after a few seconds of silence. "You don't have to- Steven began to speak but was quickly interrupted by the female huffing as she glared at him. "JUST fucking keep it, fix your ukelele or not, or buy whatever porn you desire alright?" She spat. The color in Stevens face slowly turned into a deep shade of red, his hand that held the twenty dollar bill shook slightly, "i-i-i-i" he stammered, blinking rapidly as he stuttered. Spinel rolled her eyes out of annoyance before snapping her fingers in front of his face, triggering Steven to break out of his trance, "take a joke will ya? Later...." She grumbled before walking through the exit. Steven could only blink as he watched her walk away, his hand still outstretched before his arm soon dropped, his muscles beginning to tire as his mind raced, "oh geez, oh geez oh geez.....what have I gotten myself into?....." he asked himself on repeat as he stood in the hallway.
