Ruby wasn't the type of girl who loved attention, oh no, she'd prefer being in the background, doing her own thing. The only time she had all the attention was when she had the ball and was about to shoot during basketball, or maybe when she would swing at the ball during softball and the ball went soaring which assured a home run. Even those times Ruby was only focused on what Ruby was doing, Ruby only ever really had to care about her own business.

Ruby would make no exception for college. She didn't want to be the A+ student of the class, she didn't want to get distracted over stupid things, she wanted to get stuff done proficiently and have it over with. As the girl herself thought these things to herself, she never saw the purple haired ball of fury coming her way.

"Ooof!" The wind was knocked out of the short, curly haired girl, "Amethyst! Really? Can you not do that when I'm carrying boxe-"

"Can you believe this? We don't have the same room together!"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah the building fucked up, I can't believe this."

"Okay, okay look, let me get my stuff in the room I'm in, and then we can go clear this up." Ruby walked up to her room and opened the door to put her last two boxes down, which had to be her most heavy boxes. Ruby straightened her back out and sat down, she was tired after carrying her belongings, who could blame her, Amethyst isn't known for helping with manual labor.

"Hi," the voice startled Ruby, It wasn't Amethysts voice. Ruby's brown eyes snapped to meet the source of the voice, and what appeared in her vision was absolutely adorable. The girl was on the skinnier side, but Ruby couldn't take her eye's off her, her dress, simple and casual and blue, went nicely with the thick, blond hair that was around it. Thick bangs covered her eyes but didn't hide the playful smile on the blond girl's lips.

"Oh, um, hi," Ruby put her hand out for the girl in front of her to shake.

"I'm Sapphire, It looks like we're roommates,"

"I guess it does look like we're roommates, don't it? I'm Ruby." The two shook hands and smiled at each other.

"Do you need any help unpacking or setting up anything?" Sapphire asked.

"O-oh no no I'm fine, it's just these last two boxes that are a pain, but I got it."

"Oh please I can take one, I don't mind helping,"

"You sure? they're heavy," Ruby said as Sapphire walked over to one of the boxes and picked it up.

"Are you saying you doubt me?" Ruby couldn't help but smile and laugh and answer the girl with a simple "No," as she went over and picked up the other box and walked to her room.

"I told you they were heavy," Ruby said as Sapphire struggled to keep the box in her grip.

"What is in these things?" Sapphire said.

"Uhm let me think...my mother packed these so probably photo albums and everything else she could fit in there so, half of my room most likely."

"Oh my god," Sapphire breathed out as she set the box down on Ruby's bed and collapsed next to it.

"Oh no! Are you tired from carrying that box fifteen feet?" Ruby said comedically, "You poor poor thing, do you need some water?"

"Oh shut up," Sapphire mumbled into the mattress. Ruby, instead of retorting with something else, filled the room with laughter.

Ruby woke up to music blaring next to her room. Because of the brand new surroundings and surprise of the music Ruby fell off the bed onto her back. After a loud "Ooof" came from Ruby, A soft mumbled "God damnit," Ruby got up and walked towards the door. Her fingers reached for the knob but the knob moved away as the door swung open and revealed a panicked Sapphire.

"What was that noise? There was a huge thump, I could hear it over my music." Sapphire spoke with surprise, and that didn't really match her cold and even tone of voice. Ruby, still trying to wake up, had to process what the girl in front of her had said, because of that she stayed silent as she stared at Sapphire.

"I fell," The curly haired girl mumbled. She thought for a moment, sheesh she must look terrible, she was obviously not a morning person.

"You fell?" Sapphire couldn't stop the smile nor the laughter that came as she spoke the words. She also couldn't help but stare at the other girls bare stomach, Ruby's abs were on display,she must have only slept in sports bras but Sapphire didn't mind. Sapphire wouldn't mind seeing Ruby shirtless every morning.

"Um? Hey, Yo Sapphire?"

"Hm? What?"

"I said thanks for the music this morning, It was a lovely wake up call," Sarcasm was thick in the shirtless girls voice.

"Oh! I didn't think that, I didn't know, are you al-"

"Its cool Sapph,"

"It, Is?"

"Yeah it's fine, now i'm gonna put a shirt on because it's too early for this awkwardness," She closed the door with a smile and froze behind it. Her face flushed red quickly and she instantly regretted not wearing a shirt to bed. Should she care though? Ruby could tell, even though her eyes were covered by her bangs, that Sapphire had been staring at her. Ruby herself couldn't say she didn't stare at Sapphire in her shorts and skimpy tank top, her hair, still uncombed had looked adorably tangled and shined from the morning sunlight through the window. Ruby's face was hot. Her face was still flushed, thinking about Sapphire wasn't helping.

Sapphire walked to her room calmly, she sat down and thought in silence, she turned the music off when she heard the thud. Ruby's abs and arms were the only pictures going through the blond girls head, she mumbled to herself an "Oh my god," when she couldn't shake the thoughts. She had only met this girl the day before and she already found her very attractive. Oh what is wrong with me? She thought to herself, I made it so obvious I was staring, what must she think of me?

The sun-glared phone screen irritated Ruby, she was outside the apartments trying to get ahold of Amethyst. Ruby finally managed to find Amethysts contact and press call.

"What?"

"Where the hell are you? We're supposed to be checking out the campus today or did you forget?"

"Honestly? I forgot dude. I'm like literally getting dressed right now." Ruby sighed loudly.

"Ame really? We'll hurry up then I guess, and keep your phone on speaker I gotta talk to you."

"Mmk, 'bout what dude?" There was shuffling in the background, Ruby waited for it to stop before continuing.

"I don't wanna fix the fuck up with the rooms."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't wanna fix the fu-"

"Why the hell not?"

"My roommate bro. She's-"

"Supposed to be me."

"Ame! come on!"

"What's so special about her? You haven't even known her a day," Ruby paused, Amethyst was right, but she was not gonna back down.

"Amethyst, she is fucking adorable. Like she's so pretty and so damn sweet like, I ca-"

"So you're saying you got a crush on her?"

"No, I'm saying I'm attracted to her and that I want to be friends." Even Ruby didn't believe herself, but she knew she wanted to get to know Sapphire better for sure.

"I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm,"

"It honestly wasn't,"

"Oh my god, fine stay with your little crush, you haven't been this interested in someone since freshman year."

"We do not speak of that."

"Aw come on, It was-"

"Shut it Ame!"

"Fine, fine, I'm on my way down,"

"Hurry," With that Ruby ended the call.

"You wanna walk or take the car?" Ruby said swinging her keys around.

"Car, lets go get lunch first and then we'll walk around campus,"

"I like the way you think,"

"Thank you, see people always said I was dumb and refused to accept my genius,"

"You're only a genius with food,"

"Oh shush," Amethyst laughed while Ruby was getting out of the parking lot, Ruby was a good driver, she had gotten her license before most of her grade and made the most of it. Giving people rides, with the promise that they would pay her back, grocery shopping, getting food, whatever it was, Ruby was driving.

"I'm thinking about sub's"

"I like the way you think, then we can go to the campus and walk around and eat,"

"Perfect dude," Amethyst smiled.

Ruby was exhausted. Walking around campus was a nightmare with Amethyst. At first it went smoothly, walking, eating at the same, finding each other's classes. Then it turned into walking to the park, not so bad, the Amethyst bought and drank a soda before Ruby could stop her. Sugar was the slightly bigger girls weakness, when she had sugar, she crashed from it, hard. It was only a matter of time before Ruby was dragging a crashed Amethyst to the apartments.

Ruby pressed her forehead against her door, thankful for the moment of silence. She slid her key into the door, turned the handle and opened the door with enough ease to be unnoticed by Sapphire, who was sitting on the couch, most likely sleeping. Ruby walked as softly as she could to her room, then collapsed on her bed. She let out a groan into the mattress then rolled around and sat up. The curly haired girl looked at herself in the mirror and decided to get into something comfortable. Ruby left her room in a t-shirt and boxer shorts, halfway through changing, her stomach growled. Her feet tapped down the hallway, her motivation for food was keeping her awake.

She remembered she had bought pancake mix, Well, she thought, Looks like pancakes it is. Ruby wanted to go straight to the kitchen but felt the urge to pause at the couch. She looked at the sleeping beauty on the couch and smiled. Ruby walked around the couch and whispered, "Sapph? Hey Sapphire?" The girl she whispered too stirred and answered with a light "Hmm?"

"You like pancakes?" Ruby would be lying if she said Sapphire didn't surprise her just then, The other girl's head had popped up so fast and the only word that escaped from her mouth was a loudly whispered "Yes." Ruby grinned.

"I'm gonna make some, like right now,"

"Right now?"

"Mmhmm,"

"Really?"

"Yes," Ruby copied Sapphires loud whisper from before. She saw the other girl smile and get up.

By the time Sapphire got to her side she had all her utensils and ingredients out, she was pouring the batter into the bowl and stirring it with Sapphire staring at her.

"What did you do today after you got your shirt on?" Ruby wasn't looking at her but she knew she was smiling.

"Went on the campus and ate at the same time, then went to the park, then carried Amethyst home. fulfilling day,"

"You carried her back here? I don't believe it."

"I carried her back to my car, which was a block or two away."

"Still don't believe you," Sapphire had a grin on her face.

"Are you saying I'm weak?"

"Maybe I a-" Sapphire was interrupted when Ruby's arm wrapped around her waist and hoisted her up to her shoulder. "R-ruby!" She nearly screamed.

"Is this weak to you?" Ruby said as she casually poured the mix into the pan.

"Aaaahh Ruby oh my god!" She couldn't stop laughing, her legs were resting on the counter while her waist was on Ruby's shoulder, the rest of her was by Ruby's back.

"This is punishment for doubting me!"

"Put me down Ruby! Please! I believe you, no more doubt!" They both were grinning as Ruby put Sapphire back where she was.

"That's more like it," She said as she put pancakes on the plate.

"We can eat and watch T.V. together," Sapphire suggested, "Sound like a good idea?" Ruby chuckled when she was asked the question.

"Yeah, I like that plan," Her smile refused to go away, it was there the rest of the night.
