Chapter 7 - The Future
"Come on Sapphire," Rose comforted as she pat her friend's head which laid face down on a lunch table. "It's okay, it's not the end of the world."
"What?" Sapphire questioned as she lifted her head up.
"You failing your finals," Rose stated.
"What?" Sapphire repeated as she rubbed her face, "I didn't fail my finals."
"Then why do look so depressed?" Rose asked.
"I'm not depressed, I'm just tired," Sapphire stated.
"Oh, sorry," Rose apologized, "oh how was the skating competition, sorry I couldn't be there."
"Oh it's fine, but the competition went awful I couldn't do anything right," Sapphire replied.
"Oh that sucks," Rose commented, "hey you should go to that party tonight."
"Seriously?" Sapphire questioned, "the last thing I need on a week like this is a party."
"Hey, it's just a recommendation," Rose stated, "thought you might need something relaxing, but knowing you that's probably the last thing you'll do for relaxation."
"I don't need to relax, the competition and the finals are in the past it happened, and it's irrelevant now," Sapphire stated.
"We'll do you wanna-" Rose started.
"No!" Sapphire interrupted. She straighten up in her seat as she pulled out her phone. "I've gotta go I've got class in a couple of minutes."
"Oh alright," Rose said as her and Sapphire walk away in opposite directions, "bye!"
"Goodbye," Sapphire shouted as she waved. She turned around just in time to get smack into and fall back. Sapphire rubbed her forehead as she looked up to see Ruby standing in front of her rubbing her face.
"What?" Ruby asked pulling her hands away from her face, she could have sworn she heard Sapphire say something.
"Nothing," Sapphire mumbled as she helped herself up.
"I'm sorry," Ruby apologized.
"Whatever," Sapphire sneered as she turned and walked away.
'Oh man please don't say it,' Ruby thought to herself.
"It's irrelevant," Sapphire stated as she walked away.
"Sapphire wait!" Ruby exclaimed lunging forward to grab Sapphire arm. Instead Ruby stepped on Sapphire skirt and causing the both of them to fall over.
Sapphire threw her arms out in the hopes to catch herself but instead caught somebody else's lunch dumping in on both of them.
Ruby quickly scrambled to get off of the fallen gem. "Oh man I'm so sorry," Ruby apologized kneeling next to Sapphire. She watched as Sapphire took a long deep breath before quietly getting up and walking away.
"Why why why why?" Sapphire repeated to herself as she cleaned her clothes in a sink. "I might as well as run back to my dorm, I'm already late for class." Sapphire threw her skirt down as she walked out of the bathroom. However before she could walk out, the doorway was blocked by Ruby walking in.
"Sapphire!" Ruby exclaimed, "please wait!"
Sapphire took a step back and crossed her arms over her chest, "make it quick."
"I uh..." Ruby stammered.
Sapphire sighed dropping her arms to her side, "you can tell me as I walk to my dorm."
"Alright," Ruby agreed as the two began to walk across the campus. "Wait don't you live in the blue diamond dorms?"
"You'll be fine," Sapphire assured.
"Are you going to be there tonight?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, but if you're talking about the party I'm not going to go to the party," Sapphire replied.
"Oh good," Ruby muttered.
Sapphire stopped in her tracks and turned to Ruby, "why?"
"Never mind it's irrelevant," Ruby stated.
Sapphire expression shifted, "funny," she commented then turned back around and continued walking. The two quietly walking through the halls of the dorms until they reach Sapphire's dorm room.
"You live alone?" Ruby questioned as the two walked in.
"Yeah most of us do in the blue diamond dorms," Sapphire replied, "anyway you wanted to say something so you better say it soon before we leave."
"Wait what are you saying?" Ruby asked.
Sapphire sighed, "I'm saying that as soon as we leave these dorms I don't want to talk to you ever again."
"What!" Ruby exclaimed, "why?"
"Because," Sapphire mumbled as she rummaged through her clothes.
"You can't say it's irrelevant," Ruby stated.
"I can say it's irrelevant if I feel right to," Sapphire muttered.
"How!" Ruby shouted.
Sapphire quickly turned around, "cause maybe then I'll feel better about not knowing my future with you around!"
"W-what?" Ruby stammered.
"I-uh-I," Sapphire mumbled, "I don't know my future with you."
"So," Ruby said in a whisper tone.
"I've always known my future," Sapphire stated, "then you come along and whenever you're around I don't know anything. I'm flustered, uneasy and a mess when you're around, it's as if I'm-"
"In love," Ruby finished.
"W-what?" Sapphire stuttered.
Ruby slowly walked across the room sitting down next to Sapphire. "I feel the exact same way when I'm around you, I knew what they meant but I didn't think you felt the same way. That's also probably why you can't see the future around me, love is unpredictable."
The two sat in silence until Sapphire snickering broke the silence. Ruby looked up in shocked as Sapphire's snickering quickly turned into loud laughing.
"A-are you laughing at me?" Ruby asked.
"What? No," Sapphire replied as she wiped the stream of tears from under her bangs, "I'm laughing at my self."
"What?" Ruby questioned.
"Rose is right," Sapphire stated between her laughs, "I do over react." Sapphire turned to Ruby when she heard her start to laugh. "What's so funny?" Sapphire asked.
"Your laugh it's so adorable that it's contagious," Ruby laughed.
"Adorable!" Sapphire exclaimed.
"Yeah, you're so laughy, Laughy Sapphy," Ruby stated.
"Laughy Sapphy?" Sapphire questioned.
"Yeah it's cute, just like you," Ruby replied.
"Laughy Sapphy?" Rose questioned as the two talked over the phone hours later.
"Yeah, I ended up missing the whole class because of her," Sapphire stated as she looked through her window to see the party was in full swing.
"You sound like you had fun," Rose pointed out.
"I did, but I'd much prefer if I didn't miss school to have fun," Sapphire replied.
"Of course," Rose chuckled.
"However tomorrow Ruby is going to meet me at the ice rink and we're hanging out that day," Sapphire stated.
"Like a date?" Rose asked.
Sapphire shrugged, which was completely unseen by Rose, "maybe I don't know."
"Well I hope so," Rose commented.
Sapphire laughed, however was cut off when the glass in her window shattered and Sapphire collapsed to the floor.
A/N:
Okay so I don't really have an excuse for how long this chapter took, I was sure I was going to finished this...three months ago. However I finally finished it and the chapter is nothing from what I planned.
Anyway, thank you, like seriously, if it wasn't for the attention this story has gotten I probably would have deleted this story long ago.
Also I somewhat do have the next chapter planned so maybe I won't take three months to write a chapter.
Anyway all comment, and reviews are highly appreciated for feedback and support!
Until next time!
