"guy."
Mary had thought long and hard about what Lucy had said. "It affects the whole family." She knew that it just didn't make sense to her why Ruthie was so concerned about it. I mean Ruthie seemed to really care about any decision Mary made but college? Why? She just couldn't figure it out. Just then she heard Ruthie talking to someone outside. She stayed quiet to listen to what they were saying.
Ruthie: She's impossible! I can't do it. She won't ever say yes. I don't care anymore!
Guy: Ruthie give it a chance. You still have 2 ½ weeks left to get her to change her mind.
Ruthie: Have you listened to what that stubborn kid says! She never listens. I do not care if she runs away in the future and never comes home! She will not go to college!
Mary was listening to this conversation. Run away. She thought. She would never run away. Ruthie said in the future. How can she tell what I am going to do in the future? She got up and went to the door. When she opened it though Ruthie was still talking, but to nobody. She went over to her.
Mary: Ruthie who are you talking to?
Ruthie: (frustrated) This person! This guy who is the only guy in the world who believes that you, Mary Camden will ever go to college!
Mary: (confused) What guy?
Ruthie looked over to find that the mysterious guy had disappeared.
Ruthie: Guy, Guy come back! I know you're here
Mary: Ok Ruthie aren't we a little old for imaginary friends?
Ruthie: Fine! Don't believe me!
With that Mary went back to her room laughing.
~A few days later~
Ruthie was still upset that the guy had left without meeting Mary. She decided she wouldn't give up but she knew it was going to be hard work. She still struggled with Mary but when she was having a hard time she just remembered that after this Mary would be around for the rest of Ruthie's life. She needed her to be. One Sunday afternoon Ruthie decided to try again with Mary. She went up to her room and knocked on the door.
Mary: Come in
Ruthie poked her head in through the door.
Ruthie: Mary can I talk to you
Mary: (uncertainly) If it's about college no
Ruthie: Why won't you go?
Mary: Maybe next year
Ruthie: (angrily) Why not this year!
Mary: Because I, I don't have a job, I can't pay for it, and I have no scholarships.
Ruthie: Mom and dad could help you
Mary: I am not going to college and that's final!
