Chp 4: Stepping Up.

Spinel sitting outside of Good Burger wearing a Uniform while she's vaping

Spinel: Man this job is a major ***. Exhales But it's the only place that's willing to hire my ***. And I don't got any fucking music to calm me down.

Steven: Hey Spinel.

Spinel looks to her left and sees Steven walking up to her with a plastic bag

Spinel: What the ****? How the **** did you find me?

Steven: If I'm going, to be honest, you're not hard to miss when your hair is purplish-red. Chuckling

Spinel: It's Magenta dumbass.

Steven: S-sorry about that. Anyway, Steven reaches into his pocket and pulls out a br iPhone here. He said as he handed over

Spinel: I see you got me my phone.

Steven: Yeah, I decided to buy the phone myself and give it to you.

Spinel: We all don't have the rich life as you've. And I ain't thanking you She said as she snatched the phone out of his hand

Steven: I wasn't looking for a thank you, I just needed to correct a mistake.

Spinel: Look I'm on break, you gave me what I wanted, now get lost

Steven: Dr

Spinel: I... Groans why can't you take a hi-

Steven: I'm Sorry, Spinel.

Spinel: Huh?

Steven: Just saying sorry for what I did.

Spinel: It's whatever, but just because you're trying to play a nice act doesn't mean we're going to ****.

Steven: I told you I'm not like that.

Spinel: Sure... You're not an innocent guy, I know you're capping like hell.

Steven: Is... Is that supposed-

Spinel: Motherfucka I know damn well you're not this fucking uncultured. This gotta be a joke.

Steven: I'm not joking, is that supposed to mean something?

Spinel: Spinel facepalm herself You are so... What in the... Ugh, fucking Christ!

Steven: Just know I'm not looking for any kind of stuff you're thinking like.

Spinel: What are you, Gay?

Steven: No I'm Heterosexual.

Spinel: The ****! Just say you're Straight, or "I like girls" but I can understand that motherfuckas nowadays have been getting offended by simple shit, sensitive *** people for the past couple of years.

Steven: Then what's your sexuality?

Spinel: You're really starting to piss me off. But I like both Snickers and Pudding.

Steven looks at Spinel with a confused look on his face

Spinel: I swear to God if you say something dumbfoundingly stupid.

Steven: I'm sorry, I just... Never heard such slang being used before.

Spinel: I- Ugh! I like Boys and Girls, **** and *****, I'm fucking Bisexual you proper home-schooled fucking dumbass!

Steven: Okay I get it, calm down.

Spinel: How the **** are you so damn weird? You are a teen but act as you came from the 1980s. Who even home-schooled you?

Steven: My Guardians, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst.

Spinel: 3 of them? You got 3 of them and not 1 taught you to talk like a normal person?

Steven: They didn't want me to be like some of these other kids, don't want me to cuss, swear, use profanity.

Spinel giggled

Steven: Huh?

Spinel: Wow you are such a fucking weirdo. Giggle

Steven: My friends like the way I talk, they say it makes me seem more kind and open to other people.

Spinel: Ugh, what a loser.

Steven: What?

Spinel: You really care about what they think? Trusting people will only get you hurt in the end.

Steven: You're wrong.

Spinel: What was that?

Steven: You're wrong about that! But yet again I can't agree with myself, friends will hurt you, they will make you feel second to them but friendship can give you multiple opportunities.

Spinel: Talking like you wouldn't do me that way.

Steven: Spinel, have I shown you any kind of negative animosity?

Spinel: No but that doesn't mean you won't-

Steven: Do I seem like a guy who would leave you?

Spinel: I don't know, this is the longest talk we ever had. So I can't say.

Steven: Well let's be friends then.

Spinel: What?

Steven: Yeah let's be friends.

Spinel: Why?

Steven: So I can show you not all people who want to be your friend will hurt you.

Spinel: I'm not a dumb en-

Steven: Trust me Spinel, I'll never leave you, I'll never abandon you, I won't hurt or lie to you.

Spinel: W-why are you so determined to be my friend?

Steven: Because you're hurting, you're hurt and you're scared to let anybody in right? Let's be the ones to help you with that problem. I just want to be a friend, I just want to be your friend.

Spinel: Shut up...

Steven: Huh.

Spinel: Stands up quickly SHUT THE **** UP! WHAT DO YOU KNOW HUH? YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME OR MY LIFE, YOU DON'T KNOW MY PAIN OR MY STRUGGLE! YOU CAN'T MAKE EVERY BETTER JUST TRYING TO SPEAK AS IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE'S PAIN, YOU GOT THAT EASY LIFE, PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO LOOK AFTER YOU! ALWAYS WANT YOU AROUND! I DON'T HAVE SHIT COMPARED TO YOU!

Steven: Spinel I-

Spinel grabbed Steven up by his shirt collar, staring him directly in the eyes

Spinel: You got 3 Guardians who're happy to have you, friends who are happy to see you, and 2 loving parents.

Steven:...

Spinel: My mother was the only person who I had when I was a little kid! I was 5 when she abandoned me! Spinel started having tears going down her face, messing up her makeup Do you know how it feels... To see the one person who made you feel loved just drop you like dead weight?

Steven looked away, avoiding eye contact with Spinel

Spinel: Yeah... Thought so...

Spinel let go of Steven and walked back inside

Steven: Spinel!

Spinel stopped in place

Steven: 1 Month! 1 Month of us being friends, after that, I want to hear your thoughts on how much you trust me, 1 to 100. If it's 50 or less, I will never bother you again. Deal?

Spinel:... Fine...

Spinel stormed back inside the building

Steven walked off with a smile

Spinel standing in the bathroom looking into the mirror, cleaning off her ruined makeup

Spinel: Why does that dumbass think this is going to work out?? He knows he's not getting close to me...
