It's too late to apologize. It's too late.
It's too late to apologize. It's too late.

"Rue, wake up," whispers Ricky.
"What?" I ask quietly.
"Let's play a prank on him," she whispers. I chuckle and get up. "What should we do?"
"Be right back," I mumble. I tiptoe out of the room and find a rubber snake. I show it to Ricky and she nods. We set it on his face and adjust it so that it'll stare him in the eyes when he wakes up. We walk to either side of him and I hold up three fingers. I count down to one and we both scream.
"WAH!" yells Robbie when he awakens. He sees the snake and throws it to the other side of the room and into the hall that leads to the bathroom. Ricky and I break down laughing and roll on the ground. The look on his face was hilarious! "Why'd you scream?" This of course sets us off into another fit of laughter.
When we finally get it all out of our system we scream, "Gottcha!"
"Ha ha, very funny," says Robbie, sarcastically. We smile really big. "I'm not saying good morning to you two now." We go into yet another laughing fit.
"Want breakfast?" I ask them and Ricky nods.
"Sure," Robbie murmurs.
"Goodness. You are not a morning person," I say. He smiles and kisses me. I make pancakes and we all sit together to eat. "This house is huge." Robbie nods, but Ricky just shrugs. "You don't think that it's huge?"
"Yeah, it's enormous, but I've seen big houses my whole life. Now they just don't shock me as much," she explains. Now I understand.
"Do you guys want to go on adventures?" I inquire.
"What do you mean?" Robbie asks.
"Let's go explore the house. I know that we saw it last night when we were looking for pillows, but let's actually look at stuff," I say. "And it would help us put away all of those pillows." They smile and I do too.
When we finish eating we decide to put all the stuff away. First we do the cushions. We have to search all throughout the house, downstairs and up, to put them all back in the sofas. Then we do sheets. That doesn't take as long because there aren't many beds. Then we do blankets. We put the ones that we think look good on each of the beds and put the rest in closets. Then we do the same thing to the pillows. I have no idea where the snake went.
When we're finally done we decide to hang out. We decide to make a club and Ricky says that she could invite some of her friends over to meet us. We agree and they're coming after lunch. They might even sleep over if everyone likes each other. Ricky is even inviting over her boyfriend.
*TIME PASSAGE*
"Hello, I'm Jonathon," says Ricky's boyfriend. He's fourteen just like her.
"Hi, I'm Rue," I say.
"So you and Robert already have a house?" he asks. I swallow and Ricky hits him on the arm. "Sorry."
"It's okay," I say.
"I'm Kristen," says one of Ricky's friends. She's thirteen and seems really nice. She has black hair and dark brown eyes. "And that's Sarah," she explains as she points to the girl standing next to Jonathon. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and something guys like. She's fourteen and seems very stuck up.
"Nice to meet you," I say as I shake Kristen's hand. Sarah doesn't even look up at me. I also shake another guy's hand.
"I'm Conter," he says. I nod and allow Ricky to speak.
"So who wants to make a club?" she asks. Robbie, Kristen, Jonathon, Ricky, Conter, and I all raise our hands. "Sarah?" Sarah whispers something in her ear and she nods. "If you really need to, then go. It's around there." She points the restroom and Sarah runs that way.
"I guess we're making a club," says Jonathon. "Is there another restroom?"
"Yeah," I say. "It's across the hall from the one that Sarah went to."
"Perfect," he sighs happily and practically runs in that direction. Talk about last minute.
"Isn't he awesome?" asks Ricky.
"Ricky, we need to tell you something," says Kristen and she points to her and Conter.
"What is it?" asks Ricky.
"Well, Sarah told me. This is the first time I've been around you and not around Sarah or Jonathon," Kristen says.
"What happened?" Ricky asks again.
"Well, Jonathon and Sarah-" she's cut off by someone screaming.
"SNAKE!" yells Sarah. We all run back to the bathroom and see Jonathon and Sarah in one bathroom. The rubber snake is under a towel on the counter. I guess they didn't see it at first. I hear Ricky crying.
"Ricky, what's wrong?" asks Jonathon.
"Oh I think you know!" shouts Ricky. We all say something that relates to the word 'what' and she starts to explain. "Look at them! They're in the same bathroom! Sarah has a mini skirt on and there's underwear on the floor over there! Jonathon's shirt isn't even on and I can see how quickly and horribly the string on Sarah's shirt is tied! Jonathan's pants aren't even on all the way! Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
All of our mouths are gaping open except for Sarah's and Jonathon's. Sarah is biting her lip and Jonathon is shaking his head.
"You piece of scum!" I yell.
"Don't talk to me like that!" screams Jonathon.
"Don't treat my best friend like that!" I shout back. He pushes me and Robbie steps forward to punch him in the face. His nose starts bleeding and I run to Ricky, who is now sitting on the floor, looking red as a tomato, bawling her eyes out.
"I'm out of here," says Jonathon.
"I never want to talk to you again!" yells Ricky.
"Good!" he yells back. This causes her to cry harder.
"Ricky, I'm sorry," says Sarah.
"Obviously not or you wouldn't have done that!" Ricky screams. "Leave!" Sarah grabs her underwear and leaves. Ricky's crying worsens and I sit down and hug her.
"He doesn't deserve you anyways," I whisper. She nods.
"I know," she says. We all laugh quietly, and then everyone is silent.
"So who wants to sleep over?" I ask. Unsurprisingly, everyone sleeps over, and we have fun making the living room a huge fort of blankets.
