Chapter 2 (Humiliation)
How are we supposed to get out of here she is yelling at us. Lillian whispered to Ruby. I don't know what she will do to us. Her detentions are the worst. Lillian added. Now you two come with me. Mrs. Darwin asked them to follow her. They realized that she was leading them to the main hall where all the students were gathered for the announcement of the nominated princesses for the home coming queen. Now wait you two. Mrs. Darwin said as she climbed the stage and whispered to the announcer in the ear. Well congratulations to Maribel, Carissa and Joanna for being nominated as princesses and now I would like to welcome some rule breakers to see how much important announcement they have missed and skipping the class of chemistry without having any pain or harm please Ruby and Lillian come on stage. The announcer said out loud. They both looked at each other and then slowly climbed the stage. Hey barking dog where is your bone? Someone yelled out from the crowd. Oh look Dip face's face is red. Their class fellow Erwin Crow yelled out. Are you feeling humiliated? This time it was Maribel. Ruby couldn't help it she was going to cry then she pushed Lillian aside and ran out. She was crying in her bed and before she knew she was fast asleep. Ruby… Lillian said softly and she opened her eyes. What happened? Ruby asked blinking fast. Well we were humiliated and you couldn't control the humiliation so you ran off crying. Lillian said slowly. Oh no I wonder what will they make up for this. They have! Lillian said worriedly. What? What are they saying? Ruby asked her but she kept quiet. Tell me. Ruby took a firm grip of her hand. Well they are saying that you wanted to be the home coming queen and you weren't nominated and … and…. And? Ruby asked her. And that you love James Dustin and it was your only chance to go out with him and you were crying from earlier that's why you missed the class and when they all made fun of you it was actually the tears of your broken heart not sharp words. Oh god no. Ruby began to cry again. I guess this is humiliation. Lillian sighed. They didn't make any stories for you? Ruby asked rapidly. Yes they did, some of them said that we are … that we are lesb…. No why? When we held hands when we were climbing the stage because we were nervous they made up stories for that too. Lillian cried. I am so sorry it is all because of me. Ruby cried too. No it is alright I was just remembering when you were badly hurt and ran off crying. But we will always be friends. The both hugged each other.
