Okay so...this is my new edition of It's a secret. I haven't updated for a while cause of some problems and stuff I'm having. So as apology I decided to make a new version and update probably by the weekends either Saturday or Sunday.

Ruby is my OC and imagine them as teenagers.

Enjoy!

Corey and Laney were sitting on a bench, eating ice-cream at the park in the afternoon which was almost night time since the sky was now orange. You see, these two lovebirds but not yet dating were dared by Kin to spend the night with each other at the park and the both of them secretly loved it.

"I had a great time, Core," Laney said.

"Yeah, me too," Corey smiled at the bestfriend he had loved since they first met. Although people thought he didn't seem to have a crush on Laney but that wasn't true. He was good at keeping secrets.

'I am not gonna forget about this,' Laney spoke to herself.

"Lets go home, Lanes," Corey spoke after they finished eating their ice-creams. They stood up from the ground and walked back home with each other. "Let's take the shortcut." Laney nod and they headed over to a path.

"So you think the twins are gonna laugh about this?" Corey asked.

"Probably not," She looked up at his beanie and smiled. She grabbed it and put it on her head. "Got your hat."

He chuckled, "Lanes, give it back."

She let out her tongue and took a few steps away from him. "If you can catch me," Which was a cue for Corey to start chasing Laney. Corey stopped for a moment to catch his breath when he noticed a truck driving up to Laney.

"Laney, stop!" He shouted. Laney stopped at the zebra-crossing until she seen the truck coming at her way. Laney couldn't move nor even scream. She just stood there in fear.

"Laney!"

Then all of the suddenly, Laney saw two twinkling red cat eyes dashing towards her. She didn't see what happened next as she saw the truck driving up to her. After a moment, Laney moaned and opened her eyes to see a group of people around her.

"She's fine," The crowd sighed of relief especially the truck driver then went doing what they stopped earlier.

"Laney, are you okay?"

"Core?" She mumbled as she sat up. "How?"

"This girl saved you," He told, pointing her to another girl. Laney turned her head around to see a girl with long red scarlet hair and ruby eyes. She looked at her up and down seeing the girl wearing a red-string tanktop, blue short jeans and brown boots with a necklace of a cat's head with ruby eyes.

That's when she realized, it was her old friend. "Ruby, is that you?" She asked.

"Wait, Laney?" The girl crouched down her legs. They smiled and hugged each other tightly. "Hey Laney!"

"Hey Ruby, I haven't seen you for a long time," Laney said. She helped her stood up. Laney noticed the bruises on her arms and legs and a long scratch on her right elbow. "Are you okay?"

"Hurts a little but I'm fine," Ruby assured her as she rubbed the bruises on her arms.

"Oh and Ruby, meet my friend, Corey," Laney introduced.

"Just a friend?" Ruby smiled with an eyebrow quirked. "I thought he was your boyfriend when I saw you chasing each other." They both blushed to each other and Ruby giggled. "Whose hat is this anyway?" She showed them Corey's hat.

"Oh, it's mine," Corey said as he let out his hand. Ruby gave it to him and he put it on. "Did you just came to Peaceville?"

"Oh, uh, yeah," Ruby replied. "I was walking around and my feet is already aching."

"Why don't you stay with us?" Laney asked. "You can rest there for a while."

"Sure," Ruby said. "Thanks, by the way."

"We should be the one to thank you," Corey told. "You saved my bestfriend's life." Ruby gave a 'look' to Laney who ignored it.

"Follow us," Then Corey and Laney led Ruby to Corey's car.

"Friend Zone?" Ruby murmured to Laney and Laney nudged her arm.

"Shut up..." Ruby snickered and nudged Laney back.

"How was it at New York?" Laney asked after they got inside Corey's car and drove off.

"Pretty okay but it got boring," Ruby shrug. "So my parents let me finish high school here."

"So you have your own house?" Laney asked.

"Yeah, I have to wait for my things to come," Ruby said. "Thanks to my dad, he let me have my own house since I'm old enough even my band."

"You're in a band?" Corey asked and she nod.

"We're pretty popular in New York," Ruby smiled a little.

"By the way, thanks again for saving me," Laney thanks her.

"No prob, Laney," Ruby said. "It's a good thing I saw you."

Then Corey drove off to the twin's house. Then Laney thought of something. 'Wait, didn't I saw two cat eyes?' Laney asked to herself. She looked at the rear-view mirror to see Ruby gazing outside the window until Ruby's pendant twinkled. 'Something's weird about her pendant. Maybe I'll ask her later.'

Hope you guys liked this. I know it's a bit short but next chap is a bit longer. And plus, I'm also involved in PunkR0CK Rachel's new story, 'Meeting With Grojband' AU. That's all I have to say.
