AU: High School/Human

Genre: Fluff 💖

Summary: Steven and Spinel have a huge Algebra test coming up, and to them there's no way of passing it without a study session with each other. As reluctant to study as Spinel is, there may be a way she can avoid the whole thing--and it leads to quite a turn of events.

Finally, Monday was over. It seemed to have dragged on forever, much like every week when teachers think it's right to assign 15 assignments in one class due the next day. Sadly, Monday also meant new Algebra strategies to learn, as well as a new test sooner or later. This was the case today; a test for Algebra would be given on Friday and given it being the hardest class in high school (right after pre-calculus and calculus), they had the week to perfect the skills.

Near impossible, right?

Definitely, but surely that would be no problem with a little daily study time. Though there's an 8/10 chance you'll still fail cause we're all dumbasses in one way or another. But of course, that wasn't going to stop Steven and Spinel from acing it. Both of them had made plans to meet at Steven's house for a daily study session mainly because Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst wouldn't be home for their own reasons. That and Spinel didn't really feel like heading home, she knew no one would bother helping her other than Steven.

"This is complete bullshit. I'm never gonna use this stuff in my life and yet here I am, wasting my precious seconds trying to work out whatever the hell circumference and radius is." Spinel groaned exaggerately, Steven chuckling from beside her.

"Hey, you wanna become an actress someday, they might ask you something about diameter or something. Better to be safe than sorry." He encouraged, only for her to roll her eyes at his response.

"If they ask me about that then that's how I know I shouldn't be there." She muttered as they finally made it to his beach house. Steven used his key to open it and allowed the girl to go in first. She shoved a hand in her leather jacket pocket while taking a moment to take in the inside. She hadn't really been here, much like Steven never really went to her place. This was pretty simple to say the least.

"So," she started. "Are ya folks home?"

Steven shook his head. "No, it's just us. But I'm sure they wouldn't mind me bringing a guest over, especially for study reasons. Come on, I'll show you my room."

Spinel shrugged and started following him up, where she hopped onto his bed and opened her Algebra book. Honestly to her math in general was eye aids--she couldn't see why Steven liked it so much. Then again he was the reason she was going the Honors diploma, and he hasn't let her down yet. That's just how good of a friend he was to her. "Ok, so about that diameter and radio-"

"Radius."

"Fine, about that diameter and radius thing, how do we find the diameter and shit? All of this looks like a bunch of cancer to me." Spinel complained, staring at the problems in the book.

"Well, you know radius is just half the diameter. If you know the radius, double it and that'll give you the diameter. That part's easy." Her counterpart explained with ease. "The main thing we needa do is finding area and circumference. We have the radius, so the equation would be C= --"

He was interupted by Spinel rolling on her back and groaning once more. "This is so boring! Can't we watch a movie or somethin'?"

"Spinel, you're barely pulling up a C in Algebra, I'm pretty sure a movie isn't gonna help pull that up." The young teen reminding her of her slipping grades. "And besides, you're the one that asked for this whole study thing."
