"Ruby!"

Ruby awoke in her double bed. She didn't need one, but she hadn't said no when Mona and Hank had offered to buy her one. Hank had winked and teased her about wanting to have boys over soon. Ruby had just laughed it off, but taken the bed.

She streached herself out in it like a starfish. Cold autumn wind blew in through the open window. Mona had yelled her name, and she yelled again.

"Ruby, up with your butt!" She yelled and seemed to laugh at her own lame joke. Ruby rolled her eyes, threw the covers off herself. She started shivering and soon closed the window. She sat up in her bed, looked down at her body. She only wore panties, and her small boobs and nipples showed. Her stomach also stuck out, she stroked it and sighed. Her skin was dark brown, she wished she was of a lighted shade.

Ruby stood up, walked over to the closet with a long mirror stuck to one of its doors. She looked at her sleepy self. Her black afro hair stuck out like the hair of a troll doll. Her big round eyes were tired and almost closed. Ruby's eye color was red-ish brown. If light hit it, it looked more red than brown. She had a strong dark iris-circles. Her face was compact and hard around the edges, Ruby knew she one day would get a pretty strong jaw. But for now her face was round, but its hardness was evident, and would come sooner than later. Her nose was tiny and slim, so were her lips. facial traits she had inherited from her Norwegian father. Her mother, a second generation migrant from Africa, was obviously where she got her dark skin and afro hair from. If Ruby smiled, which she didn't do all too often, she would show two sets of pearly white small teeth. Fitting in her tiny but broad mouth.

She flexed her arms to give herself some confidence. She was fat, she thought to herself. But she was also muscular, and strong. Ruby looked down at her belly again, stopped flexing and touched it. More like chubby, she thought and nodded to herself. Then she found her morning robe on the floor and covered herself with it. She walked straight to the bathroom.

When she got down to the kitchen breakfast was ready. The smell of coffee and toasted bread filled her nostrils as she sat down by the table. Mona and Hank was already eating, they ate slices of toasted bread with meat or cheese on them. Hank was reading on a book while Mona was reading the local newspaper while she moved her shoulders slightly to the music, coming from the radio. They were both in a pretty good mood, sometimes they would sit quietly and frown to one another, Ruby knew then to shut up. But today was no such day, so she smiled to them while grabbing a slice of bread from a small basket on the table.

"Good morning." She said, they looked up and smiled back to her.

"Morning." They said in sync. Ruby laughed to herself. Then she put mayo and a slice of ham on her bread and ate it quietly. She was still tired after all and her mind drifted away to the place she was before she awoke. She also poured down a glass of ice cold milk. Mama Mia played on the radio.

She sang the song to herself as she walked up the stairs to her bedroom and got dressed. She put on a sports-bra, which made her boobs look smaller but was way more comfortable than a normal bra. She put on a black sweater and a red hoodie, dark brown pants and black socks. And of course, her headband. A wine red piece of clothing she had clipped out of skirt once many years ago. Mona had sown it in the edges so it wouldn't fall apart. It was kind of worn, but she loved it for that. It also kept her unforgiving curls out of her face.

She went to the bathroom, washed her face and brushed her teeth. All while humming dancing queen to herself. She didn't even like ABBA. She later peed while putting on deodorant, wiped herself and pulled her pants up. She went into her bedroom again and looked at her cellphone watch. Time to go.

Mona and Hank were already one their way out, Hank looked at her while he adjusted his glasses. He was plump and cute and was going bald. he covered his bald spot with a cap, his blond hair strains peeking through. Ruby practically jumped into her black sneakers and put on a light wind jacket. Also in dark red, she had her backpack ready. It was pitch black.

"Want a lift?" He asked. Mona smacked him on his shoulder with her long hand.

"Ow." He yelled out jokingly.

"She's supposed to walk remember?" She said. She looked over at Ruby:

"Right? To get all that flaming energy off your chest?" She smiled, Ruby walked past them as she yelled:

"No way that is gonna work!" She opened the door, turned towards them while she pointed at herself and yelled:

"I am an internal flame baby!" Hank and Mona laughed, especially Hank. Ruby laughed too, turned around and started running. As she ran she thought to herself: It's true though. I will always be like this. She ran as fast as she could.

Her school called GC2 was small. Garden city school was just down the road. It was much bigger. Her school GC2 was special. She had only been at GC2 for a year and a half, after the teachers at Garden city school realized she was impossible to work with because of her ADHD. Ruby looked at the small building and dreaded to go in. She knew what she had coming.

Teens her age, a little younger, a little older, stood outside the main entrance. They had split themselves into little gangs, emokids on one side, hipsters on another, and a few trendy ones in the middle. Ruby belonged in none of these. And they let her know it by giving her unwelcoming glances. And Ruby gave them right back at them, she made her face curl up with anger and disgust. But in all reality she wondered what it would be like to have a click to belong to. Sometimes she could even have a tantrum over it, if they had been particularly mean to her that day. They seemed rather peaceful today, at least for now.

They followed her with their stares while she walked in-between them. One of them pretended to couch.

"Boy." Ruby heard. She turned around, looked at a few faces who stared innocently at her. Then she turned around and walked in.

When the door closed behind her the sounds of the outside became muted. Even her faint sighed echoed in the halls before her. She walked straight forward to the locker rooms. Through an open entrance she found four rows of lockers in bright blues and reds. She was lucky enough to get one at the top row, so she didn't have to bend down to open a locker close to the floor.

They all had locks on them, she twisted hers until a click came from it. She opened her locker, she was actually almost a little bit too short for it. She put her shoes and jacket in it, locked it again. Then threw the bag pack loosely on her shoulder and started walking.

Not many people sat in the halls, it was a nice day so most of them stood outside the building. The few who actually cared about arriving first or simply didn't have anybody to socialize with, waited by their classroom doors. Just like Ruby planned to do.

When she arrived at her classroom door, with the sign 9B on it, she sat down. Only one other student was there. Kevin, a lonely troublemaker. He loved putting things on fire, never bothered her though. They had eye-contact for only a few seconds before both of them looked away. the boy was taller than her but much slimmer, he had brown hair. But had shaved it all off.

After a little while the other students slowly arrived. They sat themselves close to the wall, or stood leaning against it. Ruby overheard some of them talking about a party and about being wasted. While she listened, she wrapped her arms around herself. Mother, she thought.

Their Norwegian class teacher appeared in the hallway. The tall and chubby Simon, carrying lecture books in both of his hands. He looked up at them and yelled:

"Good morning class!" Moans and sighs of disappointment filled the edge of the hallway, and everybody including Ruby got up on their legs. Everyone sat a solid meter away from her.

Simon unlocked the classroom door, and a line of tired teens followed suit. The morning sun shone through the windows on the entire left wall, sounds of chairs being lifted down from desks overpowered student mumbling. The air in the room was tight, and as Ruby sat down by her desk right in the middle, she observed dust dancing in the sun-rays.

"Close the blinds will ya!" One of the student yelled, Simon walked to the left wall and pushed on a button. And electronic blinds slowly covered the windows from the above going down. It went painfully slow, Ruby sighed.

"You should all get your Norwegian text books. Chapter 4 page 63." Simon said, and most of the students stood up to go to their shelves scattered close to the walls of the entire room. Ruby and a few others stayed put in their chairs. Ruby put her feet on the desk and stared at her teacher, and he stared right back at her. She knew, and he knew, that there was nothing he could say to change her mind. She and the few others who didn't obey, with Simon as a teacher, got left alone. So he looked at her, and then looked away.

She had been eating her food alone, as usual. While she ate, one of the boys had thrown a paper ball at her desk. She had opened it, a drawing of a big breasted naked woman opening her legs. They had laughed and asked her if she liked what she saw. Ruby had stood up, given them the tip of her tongue and left with an attitude.

Now she walked in the schoolyard. She was in a hurry, walked in circles. Mumbled curse words to herself, she went to the closest dumpster she knew of and attempted to kick it down. It was useless of course, but she still kicked on it like crazy.

"Fucking hell, stupid little fuckers. lesbian my ass, they would like that wouldn't they!"

Her rage made her voice raspy, and she kicked until she heard something behind her.

"Hey , BOY!" She turned around. Fredrik, and his stupid little gang of hipster misfit.

"Want a piece of me lumberjacks!" Ruby yelled and raised her closed fist.

"Bring it on shemale!" Ruby stepped forward, and as she jumped to punch the guy, she yelled:

"I'm a girl you fucking retro wannabees!"The second her fist landed in his face, and his lens-less glasses flew off, the two other boys jumped on top of her and hit the back of her ribs. She screamed with pain but elbowed them both in their faces. Then flung herself on the ground while holding onto Fredrik's shoulders. Dragging him down with her, she twisted herself on top of him and pounced him in the nose. The boys flung themselves on top of her and made her crawl on the concrete ground, rasping up her knees in the process. She elbowed them again, but the three of them grabbed her limbs and pushed her down. Fredrik was bleeding from his nose. He stood before Ruby while she lay on the back. He lifted his foot to kick her in the face, but she moved away in the last second, grabbed his foot and twisted it. Using the last piece of strength she had left. He fell to the ground and she crawled on top of him again, just before she was about to hit him in the face again, the boys pulled her back. They were about to hit her with two sets of fists when a female teacher came between them,

"Stop god damn it, STOP!" The boys were pulled back and Fredrik got on his feet while Ruby was still down. He held his hand over his bleeding nose and yelled:

"She started it! She just hit me!" Ruby looked up at him as she narrowed her yes. That little bastard. She bent forward and hit him in the crotch, he bent over himself and fell to his knees, screaming in pain. Ruby laughed.

"Hey, stop it!" The teacher yelled, grabbed Ruby's arm and pulled her aggressively on her feet.

She pulled Ruby away as she resisted, Ruby yelled at a Fredrik in pain:

"You should thank this school for not putting us in the same class you little mother fucker, or I would have made you sterile a months ago!" She laughed and got pulled further back.

"That's enough!" The teacher yelled and pushed her inside one of the back doors of the school. The one Ruby had walked out of just a few minutes before.

Ruby sat at the principal's office. Hege, the principal, sat before her with a desk in front of her. Mona sat beside her in a chair, always being her calm self. Hege on the other hand seemed furious.

"You can't just go around hitting people, again!" Ruby sank down in her chair, crossed her arms. Her bruised knees had been covered with band-aids, but still hurt.

"I regret nothing." Ruby said staring at Hege. She then looked away and continued:

"That idiot had it coming. They all did." Hege sat up, pointed at Ruby.

"Now listen here you.." Mona put her hand up elegantly, interrupted Hege.

"I wonder though, why Ruby would behave so violently?" She said rather quietly, and looked over at Ruby. Hege sat down, rubbed her forehead with her thumb and index finger.

"The boys said she just went nuts on them for no reason."Hege said. Ruby snorted.

"Of course they did." She yelled.

"What happened then?" Mona asked, still with her eyes locked at Ruby.

"They called me a boy, and a shemale." Ruby responded a little more quietly, as she again sank down in her chair. She looked over at Mona, who gave her a sad look and sighed. Then Mona looked over at Hege with a more strict facial expression.

"See, simply dismissing her as a mindless troublemaker in the ONE place said to actually help these struggling teens, is revolting. I am not saying how Ruby responded was right, but allowing such insulting behavior in your other students without punishment is not a good example to set. Time and time again I am sent here because Ruby, the bad guy has gotten into a fight. maybe you should try to nip the problem in the bud instead of just blaming the person who seems the most obvious." Mona stood up, looked at Ruby.

"Now, call me again if she actually does something really bad. Beating up her bullies is not one of them." Ruby and Mona looked over at Hege who did not have a pleased expression across her face. She had been owned, and she knew it. Ruby smiled at her principal, and arrogantly walked over behind Mona.

The second they had closed the door behind them, Ruby whispered to Mona:

"Thank you." Mona turned around and smiled.

"You do know you won't getting any allowance this week right?" Ruby smiled and looked down.

"Yeah." She responded. "But thanks anyway."

"You're welcome."

Ruby was sitting by the dinner table. In silence they all ate their spaghetti and tomato pause before Mona broke the ice.

"So Ruby had another fight at school today." She said, almost seemed out of breath. Hank looked up at Ruby.

"is that so?" Mona slapped her palm on the table and yelled:

"And you should have seen the principal. I seriously though she was going to call Ruby a brat. How unbelievable is it that the school only keep blaming her for these fight? She can't fight herself?" Hank giggled, then looked over at Ruby with a serious look.

"It should't happen in the first place though." He said firmly. Ruby bent forward and put her elbows on the table.

"I can't help it, I am just so fucking angry all the time, and they know just the buttons to push. I donno what their problems is!" She said, Hank leaned back.

"Now now, remember our talk about teens and problems and such?" He said, Ruby threw her hands from herself over the table.

"I have problems too, but I don't go around calling people shemale, gay and stuff! I only beat up the ones that do that to me!" Ruby felt herself becoming angry even now. If people just shut the hell up when she was around, she wouldn't need to hit anybody. This was all so unnecessary.

"Those walks to school and daily push-ups ain't enough is it huh?" Mona said, Ruby leaned back. She shock her head while she looked down at her food. Ate some of it off her fork.

"Well, I've been thinking." Mona smiled and leaned forward. "Maybe you should start doing sports? Something that will let out your anger. I think it will be healthy for you." Ruby swallowed her food, mumbled:

"Like what?" Mona leaned her head on her hand, her elbow bent over the table.

"Oh I donno. Soccer, swimming, karate, boxing, basketball?" Ruby pointed at her with her fork.

"How about boxing?" She said. Hank and Mona looked at each other, then at her. They both nodded. Ruby smiled.

"Great! When do I start?" She asked. Hank giggled again.

"Ask me again tomorrow." Mona answered. Ruby nodded, thanked for the food and left the dinner table.

Ruby sat in her bed with the laptop on her lap. A few hours had passed since dinner, and her door was locked. Faint sounds of a TV came from downstairs. She looked around in her room, smirked. Her room was painted in a dark reddish purple color, her walls filled with images of beaches and forests. And a few posters of Madrugada. The one window in her room had bluish purple curtains. She really liked her room. Her clothing was scattered on the floor and the blue carpet on the floor needed to be vacuumed. She loved it, the best room she had had.

She looked over at the computer, clicked on the google search monitor. before she pressed down on any buttons on the keyboard she made all the fingers on her hands twitch a little. In excitement, in nervousness. They call me a dyke, she thought. Then let's see if I am one.

For a moment she closed her eyes and thought back on that one time she had seen a woman in a bikini in one of those music videos on TV. The woman had water running down her tanned slim body, making her skin shine almost. She had randomly watched it on the TV in the living room, she had been alone at the time. She had looked at the woman, and something had happened to her body. It felt good to watch her dance erotically. It scared her half to death, and she never thought about it again, that is, until now.

This was it.

"Lesbian porn." She typed on google search, clicked the search button. Bit on the finger nail on her index finger. Put her hand down at the keyboard again.

"Woman getting fingered hard. Young girl licking mature woman. High schools students hard core anal. Lesbian threesome with strap-on." Ruby scrolled down the first page, scrolled up again. Clicked on the first one with the woman getting fingered hard.

A dark grey webpage appeared, and on the very top in orange writing it said: "Pornhub." Ruby swallowed, waited for the video to load. When it did she clicked on play.

There were two young women with smooth thanned skin, one a little paler than the other. The both of them had huge firm breasts, much rounder than hers, or anybody's. The few peeks she had gotten from the public showers looked nothing like this. Both women also had thick lips Ruby saw was fake, and long false fingernails attached to the tip of their fingers. They bent over each other while moving their butts forward and backwards. The one on top put her butt in such an angle that her vagina showed, she looked at the camera. Pouted her lips. She had long blond hair, it laid on her back like a distorted waterfall.

The women started kissing, they started moaning. The blond one slipped her hand down the brunette's stomach and touched her vagina. The second her fingers touched it, the brunette moaned loudly. The blond one started moving her fingers over the brunette's clitoris.

"Ahh yes!" The brunette yelled out while the blond one licked her neck. "Slap my clit!" Ruby felt her own vagina pounding slightly. To her fear and delight, she was getting turned on.

The blond one bent over the other one's vagina, spit on it, slapped it more. then she put her long fingers and nails into her vagina. Pressed it in, with all four fingers at once. The brunette screamed with pleasure, as if she was dying.

"You like that, you like that?" The blond one said while pouting her lips even more, moaning while looking at the camera. The brunette bent her head backwards.

"Yes, more harder!" Then the blond one put her entire fist into her vagina, Ruby's eyes widened. The blond pushed her entire closed fist hard into the brunette's vagina. The both of them moaned and the brunette made a face that looked nothing less but a person dying. She creamed out aggressively.

"YES! AAHH YES HARDER!" She yelled. Ruby started sweating a little. She rubbed on her vagina still with her pants on. So it's true. She thought to herself. She tilted her head as the video switched angle, to the woman getting fisted from behind. Didn't the video say fingering? She had always imagined it to be more.. pretty. She did like what she saw, but at the same time it felt weird. Ruby closed her eyes, and listened to the sounds of what she assumed was a hardcore orgasm and she put her hand down her pants. Rubbed her clitoris with her strong broad fingers. She was already pretty wet.

It didn't take long for her muscles to stiffen, for that warm tingly feeling spread its way from the crouch and only for a few seconds, devouring her body. Then it passed, the tiny headphones in her ears had fallen out, she heard faint moaning coming from them still. She lay limp in her bed, breathed heavily. She had the laptop on her chest, it moved along with her heavily breathing chest. She dried off a few drops of sweat from her forehead. Felt sweat stick to her inner thighs as she sat up. Ruby exited out of the website, sighed.

So it's true. I am a fucking dyke, she thought. But it didn't surprise her.

She laid herself on the side, her pillow resting underneath her head. The bed was still made. her face curled itself, her lips and brows tightened. A tear fell from one of her eyes, ran down the bridge of her nose and over to the other cheek before dripping onto her covers.

Not that anyone actually though she was straight. But now she knew, and it wasn't as fulfilling as she had thought it would be.

She sat in her classroom, feeling down still she had decided to actually put up her books and try to pay attention for once. She didn't feel like fighting the system today, and besides. She had to gave Mona and Hank a break once in a while. Simon seemed happy about it through.

Then, as always a paper ball got thrown in her head and landed on her desk. She looked towards the direction it had been thrown from, one of the boys on her far left looked at her and smirked. Alexander, he always threw this shit on her. Ruby looked down at the paper ball, tried to fight her curiosity. She knew it was bad, but she just had to unfold it and take a look.

On the very top of the paper was a butt, pooping big brown poops. It landed on a drawing of her and her skin had been colored dark brown. She was naked, and between her legs was a big fat penis about to penetrate what seemed like another butt before her. As she looked at it she heard Alexander giggle silently. For a second she felt like crying, thinking to herself: This is me now. Still bummed down about her realized lesbianism. Then red flew over her eyes, and she let her flame loose. She stood up yelling:

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK!" Everybody jumped, including Alexander as he saw Ruby walking towards him with closed fists. Ruby grabbed the slim equally tall boy by his collar and pushed him up against the window, over another student who was still sitting down.

"You racist trans-phobic little shit!" She yelled, tears running down her face. She lifted her fist and slapped him hard across his face with her fist. His head flung to the side. blood dripped from his lips as he mumbled:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Simon dragged her away from him as she yelled:

"No you're not you mother fucker!"

"Hey Ruby, RUBY, hey!" Simon said. "What the hell is going on?" Ruby was still breathing heavily but had pulled herself enough together to not jump on Alexander once more. She pointed at her desk where the drawing still was was.

"Take a look yourself!" She yelled out of breath, and as Simon picked the drawing up she turned around and walked. A split second before she slammed the door behind her she heard Simon say:

"Oh my.."

Ruby walked across the slim and short hallway with big heavy steps. She closed both of her fists and mumbled to herself again. She walked passed a few cool teens who had ditched class. They hung around the entree and stared at her as she arrived.

"Hey dyke, didn't think you could PMS!" One of the girls yelled. Ruby walked up to them, made it look like she was about to hit the girl across the face with her fist.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" She yelled, the teens moved a step back and the girl lifted both of her hands, opening her palms towards Ruby.

"Wow, easy. It was just a joke." Ruby turned around and walked towards the girl's room. She slammed the door behind her and locked it, even though there might be others who need to go into one of the stalls. She didn't care, she fell to her knees on the floor. Out of breath, tears running down her face, she covered her face with her hands. Cried out like a big baby, occasionally hitting the floor with her fist.

She was in there for at least an hour. Not a single person tried to get in.

Ruby sat by the dinner table again, eating her chicken and rise in silence. After she had been done crying her eyeballs out at the girls-room, she had gotten her backpack from the classroom and gone straight home. No questions asked. She gad gone to her bed and fallen asleep, awoke when Mona called for dinner. Ruby was just so tired, in body and mind. Hank and Mona looked at her, she could tell that they saw.

Mona coughed lightly.

"So I got a phone call from school today.." Ruby sighed, looked another way.

"What happened?" Mona continued. Ruby sunk down in her seat.

"I just.. Ugh I got a really racist note thrown at me in class. I just couldn't hold it in.. I just, it was.. I'm sorry." Hank twitched his eyebrows under his glasses.

"Racist note?" He asked.

"I don't wanna talk more about this OK?" Ruby yelled out, clinching at her curls.

"Fine." Mona said, and they turned quiet again. Ruby sighed, picked in her food with the fork. She wasn't all that hungry.

"What about boxing?" Ruby asked while she looked up, tried to smile. She held her tears in.

"Oh yeah that's right. I called a boxing studio in town and it is room for you. If you want, you can come to a training session TODAY. It is off charge even, to see if you actually like it."

Any day but today, Ruby thought.

"Is there another one next week or something.. I don't really feel like going anywhere." Mona put her hand on the table, seemingly wanting Ruby to grab it. She didn't.

"Workouts help you forget ya know, and I am guessing you are pretty angry still." Ruby squinted her eyes at them, thinking hard. Then she sighed.

"Fine, but I get a lift to and from, and if I call 5 minutes in, get me OK?" The both of them nodded with enthusiasm.

"Yes yes, we will. It starts in two hours. Maybe you should finish your plate?" Hank commented. Ruby looked down at her food. Right, she thought and sighed again.

Ruby and Hank sat in the car parked close to a bus stop close to what looked like a workout studio. Small raindrops dotted themselves calmly on the car roof. Ruby looked over at Hank, who seemed to be lost in thought. He looked straight ahead, his big nose sticking out of his face. Supporting his glasses. He was clean shaved, calm, and as soon as Ruby looked at him he looked back. he smiled.

"If you don't wanna talk to anyone, you don't need to. Just say you wanna box." Ruby nodded, she bent behind to grab her bag, Hank touched her shoulder and pushed her back.

"And hey. Your skin color doesn't matter to us, ya know." He said while staring at her. His eyes were fucused and serious. A gaze she rarely saw in him. Ruby nodded and smiled.

"Now go and destroy a punching bag!" Hank yelled and laughed. Ruby put the bag on her lap, laughed.

"I will!" She opened the door, and before she closed Hans leaned on the side and yelled:

"If I don't get a bill from this place on a destroyed punching bag, you ain't getting dinner tomorrow!" He said and laughed, Ruby laughed along with him.

Ruby slammed the door shut, and Hank drove off. It was a small dark blue Toyota. Ruby smiled to herself. At least he didn't care, he and Mona. Ruby turned around while adjusting the bag strap on her shoulder, Looked at the workout studio. She felt the tiny water drops on her face, it was just barely noticeable.

The building was grey, so it was no surprise to Ruby when she walked in that the walls were grey on the inside too. Boring, Ruby frowned. Work out equipment like weights and treadmills were scattered evenly in the gigantic room before her. Only one person was to be seen, a blond girl jogging with earphones. Ruby figured she wouldn't like to be disturbed. She looked down, saw a few pairs of shoes lined up to the wall close to the door. She kicked her sneakers off, placed them close to the other shoes.

Ruby walked further into the room, and a counter on the side appeared. With a man sitting behind it, seemed to work on a computer in front of him. Ruby walked over to the counter.

"Hi, where can I box?" The man peeked up at her for a split second, then looked down at the screen again. He looked like the type to work out, wore sports biker clothing.

"And you are?"

"Ruby Bello. I'm new." The man sighed with annoyment. he pointed at his left.

"Walk into that door and follow the hallway to the very end. There will be a door with a sign where it says "boxing"." Ruby nodded.

"Sure, thanks." She said, the man didn't respond. Ruby walked off, and in through the door. A long grey and not to mention silent hallway was in front of her. Much like the ones at her school, Ruby's head grew heavy. She was still kinda tired.

Ruby stepped before the door with "boxing" on it, didn't know weather she would knock or not. She decided not to. She opened the door carefully and walked in, yawned as she did.

She had walked into a very dark room, with almost black walls. There was a pretend bozing ring in the very middle, but no stage. Just four sets of rubber fences and a big lamp lighting on it. The room was big, and close to the walls around it were big punching bags, seemed to be randomly placed. And a few shelves up the walls with helmets and boxing gloves.

A man was leaning up against the ring, she could tell at first glance that he was very muscular. He turned around as she walked in.

"O hey!" He said with a deep but friendly voice. He turned around, snapped with the fingers on one of his hand followed by pointing straight at her.

"Ruby right?" She nodded, answered:

"Yeah." He stretched out his hand, she grabbed it and shock it.

"Toni." He smiled widely, let go of her hand.

"It's been a while since we got any new members here, especially a girl" He stated. Ruby looked down.

"Well I am only here to try it out. i just wanna punch stuff." Toni crossed his punped arms.

"I see, well." He clapped with his hands just once, rubbed them together.

"Let me get you some gloves." He turned around and walked to the shleved while Ruby put her bag down. She removed her black hoodie, slung it ontop of her bag. She wore a dark red tank top and black workout tights.

Toni threw the boxing gloves to her and she just barely caught them. He then walked over to the closest punching bag hanging from the wall, patted on it.

"Just knock yourself out." He said and smiled. Ruby walked over to it, untided the strings that knot the boxing gloves together. The gloves were dark brown and smooth. She smiled to herself.

Ruby put them on and lifted her arms.

"No no no, you have to stand properly." Toni said, interrupting her flow, Ruby jumped for half a second before she looked over at him. The tall man before her widened his stance and curled his back a bit. He lifted both of his arms in a "hitting position" and looked over at her. Ruby mimicked him. Toni nodded.

"Good, now if you are not hitting, you are blocking, like this." He said and lifted the lower parts of his arms up in front of his face. His knuckles turning towards the ceiling. Ruby did what he did.

"And then you hit." He said fast, and split his lower arms apart, hitting the punching back slowly and carefully to demonstrate. Ruby did the same, and the second she hit he lifted both of his hands and shock them, yelled out:

"No you've got to .. Eh." He moved forward, grabbed the hand she had hit with. He held the glove with a firm grip, his other hand held at her wrist.

"You can't let your hand bend when you hit. Not only can you hurt yourself but the hit will be weaker as-well." He said, Ruby nodded. He stepped away, she concentrated on doing as she was told, for once. She made sure the muscles in her hand were tight, and she hit again. She felt her hand and boxing glove hit the pouching bag much harder now, he was right. Ruby smiled.

"See?" Toni said and smiled. Ruby let her arms fall down.

"Thanks, but I kinda wanna be left alone." Toni stepped back.

"That's OK. Tell me if you need anything." He responded, Ruby nodded, and he turned around and walked. He opened the door and before he went through it he looked at Ruby who now was ready to hit again, and said:

"Other youngsters like you might arrive and box though. Don't worry, they're kind and all." Ruby turned towards the punching bag, and just as Toni had closed the door behind him, she whispered to herself white she started hitting:

"Yeah right." She thought about all the mean spirited people in her life, and hit again. She thought about Alexander's note, hit even harder. About Fredrik and his stupid pals, pouched the bag as hard as she could. There weren't even a second between her punches. She stopped, breathed heavily.

The door opened behind her, a boy walked in. She looked over at him.

"Hello." He said, Ruby snorted, turned towards her punching bag again. Ruby started punching again while hearing him move about behind her, and after maybe a few minutes he started punching too. After a while she forgot he was there. It didn't take many negative thoughts to make her angry again.

And for what seemed a while she didn't think a single word, didn't imagine a single picture in her head. She just punched, and the sounds of fabrics clasping felt like a rhythm to a song. All she knew for those moments, no matter how tired she got, was punching.

It got broken off twice, first by another boy, tall and slim. Then a dark skinned tiny fat girl with beefy arms. She was much shorter than Ruby, who was about average. The boys greeted her like one of the guys, called her Amethyst. Ruby didn't care much, and started punching again. Mona was right, she had thought. it helped her forget.

After that she had only taken a few minor breaks on her own terms. She had more anger to burn out than she had first anticipated, so she had gone at it for at least half an hour. When she finally thought she was done, she was exhausted. Her arms glittered with sweat, and she was completely out of breath. Drops of sweat ran down her forehead, and from her armpits. She dried them off with both of her hands, couldn't care less how it looked. She went over to her bag and dragged out a water bottle, drank from it as she grabbed her cellphone. her eyes got wide, she had been here for more than a hour and a half.

She found Hank on the number list and called him. After a few beeps he picked up the phone.

"Sorry it has been so long, you haven't gone to bed or something have you?" He usually got to bed really early. It was eight in the evening.

"I was about to call you, I am getting pretty tired. You're having fun?"

"Yeah." She sniffed, dried off her nose. "It's great."

"Good, OK I'll get in the car now. Wait by that bus stop remember?"

"Yeah OK bye." Ruby hung up, put her cellphone in the bag, grabbed it while she took a sip off her bottle. She started walking. On her way out the door she met Toni.

"Hey there Ruby, see you on Friday?" It was Tuesday.

"Yeah." She said still out of breath.

"Great! Bye now!" Ruby laughed, the man was so enthusiastic he almost sounded gay. She walked passed him, he walked into the room and closed the door. Ruby grew silent, thought to herself: But I am the gay one. She sighed.

She jogged to the entree of the building and put on her shoes. Walked outside into the refreshing dusk. She had her jacket over her shoulder, it almost fell down when she lifted her arms to air her armpits. They were hairy.

"Ahh." She whispered, smiled to herself. She looked around, somebody was sitting at the bus stop. She put her arms down, looked up at the sky. Dark and light blues filled the sky and light clouds covered the whole thing. The sunset was already behind the mountains far away, in half an hour it surely would be completely dark.

Ruby walked over the road, a car passed behind her. The bus stop consisted of three walls with big windows on them and a flat roof. A bench was placed inside of it, and a light bulb lit down on the person sitting on the bench. A girl.

Ruby sat down on the bench and slung her bag on the ground beside her, there was more than a meter between them. The bench was pretty long. She had long almost white hair and tanned skin. Her long hair covered her shoulders, and her bangs covered both of her eyes. Her lips were thick and round, Ruby tried not to stare.

She sat with her hands firmly on her lap. She wore a dark blue skirt ending just below her knees, Followed by smooth white shoes. Her smoothly shaven bare legs were pushed against one another. Her white shoes seemed pretty new, weren't dirty at all. Ruby looked up at the ceiling, came to realize it didn't rain anymore. While still looking up she took her jacket resting on her shoulder and dried off her sweaty arms, sighed.

When she looked down again the girl stared at her. She had removed some of her bangs out of the way and one of her eyes appeared. It was light blue. An unusual sight coming from such a tan girl. A tan that seemed pretty natural. The second they got eye contact, the girl looked away and down at her feet. She seemed familiar.

"Have I met you before?" Asked Ruby. It took a few second before the girl still looking at her feet, shrugged.

"Which school do you go to?" She asked again, the girl lowered her head even more. Of course, why would anyone want to speak to her? Ruby leaned back and crossed her arms, anger flew in her for a second when she whispered:

"I wouldn't want to talk to me either." She sighed, looked down at her stretched out feet.

"I.. Um." Came from the girl, Ruby looked at her surprised. Her voice was a tad bit dark, very gentle.

"I go to The Garden City school. I've seen you around." She spoke monotonously, stole a glance at Ruby before looking down again. She was just shy? Ruby smiled. Cute.

"Yeah? Everyone from GC2 has P.E there." They didn't have a gymnasium of their own, not even a soccer field on the outside, Garden City had it all.

"What's your name?" Ruby asked.

"Sapphire. Yours?" The girl quickly answered.

"Ruby. Pretty name." She smiled weakly, looked away for a second. Ruby shouldn't have said that.

"Thanks, you too." Sapphire responded, Ruby smiled to herself. Sapphire wasn't put off? Excitement filled her stomach. Sapphire looked at her again, still with one of her eyes covered. At first her face was expressionless, then she smiled a bit again. The white light from the light bulb above her lit gently over her face, her skin was smooth. Her jaw was gentle, her lips glistened for a second as she smiled. Ruby sighed, her breath was worm.

Then Hank's car turned into the bus stop. Stopped right in front of her, he waved from the inside. Ruby felt a slight blush on her cheeks as she smiled and waved back. Hank looked so dorky in there, it was almost a little embarrassing.

"That's my lift." Ruby said and stood up. She looked at the girl as she turned around and grabbed the bag.

"I guess I see you around?" She asked. Sapphire looked up at her. The light coming from the car lit up her blue eye.

"Yeah sure." She responded. Ruby grabbed firmly on the bag's handle with both of her hands.

"Sweet. Bye." She turned around, heard a faint "bye" as she walked into the car. She slammed the door shut, a little weaker than usual. She smiled while she threw the bag in the back seat and looked at Hank, he stared at her and grinned.

"What?" Ruby asked. Hank fixated his eyes on the road.

"Nothing." He answered. Started driving. Ruby looked over at the bus stop through the car window. The girl sat there quietly, looked back at her. Ruby smiled to her as they drove off. Then she looked down. What a strange day, she thought to herself.
