Ruby

My heart skipped multiple beats. It was either doing somersaults, rolling in circles, or banging against my chest. Whichever it was, I couldn't stop the loud rapid drumming. My pace quickened and the plastic bag crinkled along to the rhythm of my panicking walks.

Wow...

The girl who I had previously bumped into at the grocery store has a really beautiful laugh. It was a melody that I wanted to replay over and over again. Her gorgeous, tied back, snow hair ponytail matched her beautiful blue eyes. She was a lot different compared to the residents from Vale. Was she a foreigner?

Maybe I should thank Yang for sending me to do her errands. Maybe I should do her errands more often. Maybe I would see that stranger again. Wait… Would I even see that girl again?

I couldn't help but to let out a wistful sigh as I continue to dwell on it more. Probably not. She really did have that adorably cute laugh. The way she slid her hair behind her ears and the way her beautiful blue eyes flickered — like wow.

I suddenly halted at the front of Yang's door step and the bags dropped onto the floor when I made an unexpected discovery.

I'm gay.

"Yaang!" I hollered and frantically rasped against the door. "Open up! It's really important!" My knuckles persistently rapped on the wood at an increasing rate. Normally I wasn't like this but I was really impatient. This was really big news.

"Yang!"

Knuckles continued to rasped harshly.

"Yang!"

Now I'm rudely banging the door.

"Yang! Yang! Yang! Yang!"

I practically chanted in loud shouts, most likely annoying her neighbors by now.

"Ruby!" The door swung wide open. Despite the forced smile on my cousin's face, I could see the blatant irritation. Her right eye twitch in annoyance and she flared her nostrils. "You do realize you have keys to my house right?"

"Oh right," I laughed nervously before I picked up the groceries. "Quickly put these away because we really need to talk."

"Oh no… What happened. What did you do?"

She took the groceries and unpacked the perishables into the fridge. The Xiao Long family lived in a comfortable single story house. Honestly, they didn't really need many things considering it was just the three of them. The only thing they needed was that workout room located in their basement. Uncle Tai and Aunt Raven loved working out, and I suppose Yang got that from them too.

"Excuse me." I feigned a hurt look and mockingly placed a hand on my chest. "I didn't exactly do anything." Yang raised a skeptical brow at me and I raised both hands defensively."Okay maybe I did, but I swear everything was accidental." I took a seat onto a stool near the kitchen island table.

"Spill," Yang flat out demanded. She leaned into her elbows onto the granite counter and her lilac eyes burned with interest.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Ruby Rose," she gasped in surprised. She was extremely shocked because I never had a love interest in my life before. "Are you telling me that you finally found a boy that may have peaked your interest?"

"Uhh no," I squeaked and she pulled into frown. I took a deep breath to sum up the entire event in one confession. "I think I might be in love with a girl."

I figured it'll be easier to have the name above the chapter story, not just the title itself. The story won't always interchange between the two characters equally. Next chapter is Ruby.
