Note to readers- I'm not sure if I've got Ruthie's Boyfriends name right. It's hard to keep track of all the characters so in my story his name will be... Peter. Please... NO FLAMES if I've got it wrong. Sorry if this chapter doesnt make much sense. XOXO

Chapter 6-

Ruthie ran to the girls bathroom. She started crying.
She couldn't believe that her former friends had ditched
her for Emily. How could Emily call her fatherless after
he helped her with her problem... a few years ago Emily's sister had died in a car accident and Reverend Camden was there for her the whole time. Emily had seemed so nice then... what had changed with her.

Ruthie heard someone coming so she quickly ran into the stall. She sat on the toilet seat and cried silently to herself. The girls left and then Ruthie went to her homeroom. She made it through the morning periods. NExt came lunch, since her friends had ditched her that morning, she couldn't think of anyone to eat lunch with. As she walked into the cafeteria, she began to worry if she would have to eat lunch alone. But then her boyfriend Peter came up to her and hugged.

"Come eat lunch with me. We need to talk." Peter said.

"OK" she said as she walked over to sit down at an empty table with him.

"I'm sorry about your dad," he began. "I heard about what Emily and everyone did to you this morning."

"You heard about that?" She asked.

He knodded and finished. "I love you Ruthie, but I really don't think we belong together anymore."

Ruthie was shocked. "So are we breaking up?" she asked.

"Yeah. I'm sorry Ruthie. Can we still be friends?" he asked.

"I really dont think so." she said getting up to leave. She was holding back tears. To add more insult to injury, Emily walked up before Ruthie left.

"Ready to go sweetie?" she asked Peter. Peter knodded.

"You dumped me for... that tramp?" she asked him.

"I'm not a tramp. And I'm afraid sweetheart. He's mine now." she giggled as her, Peter and Ruthie's "former" friend walked away.

Ruthie ran out of the cafeteria holding the tears back until she reached the bathroom. But before she reched the bathroom, she ran into someone.....
