Chapter 7-

Ruthie looked up to see who she had run into. What she saw amazed her. She had run into this really hot gothic looking guy. He had blue eyes and black spiky hair. He was kind of tall and skinny. Ruthie was taken aback and amazed with what she saw. She stepped back and started to say something.

"I'm so sorry. I'm just really having a bad day. Are you OK?" she asked him.

"Yeah I'm fine. What happened today?" he asked curiously

"Well... my dad died a last week and I came to school today and my friends ditched me for some tramp. Then just now my boyfriend broke up with me for her. Her being Emily the tramp." she said.

"Wow. You really had a bad day. I know Emily can't be as cute as you. Your really cute. What's your name?" he asked her.

"Ruthie. Ruthie Camden. And yours is..."

"Jason Thomas. I am new here. My family moved here last week. It's a long story. By any chance, since apparently you don't have a boyfriend, do you want to go out with me tonight?" he asked hopefully.

"Sure. Do you know where the poolhall is?" she asked him.

"Yeah. I'll pick you up at 5:30 and we can go to eat and stuff..." his voice trailed off.

"Yeah, I guess." she said.

"Great, see you then" he said. "What class do you got next?" he asked.

"Math with Mrs. Cane." she said. "You?"

"Same. Let me walk you?" he asked as he held put his hand.

She took his hand and they walked to class. Since the bell hadn't yet rung, they waited in the hall.

"Are we like... Bouyfriend/Girlfriend?" she asked Jason.

"Yeah, but only if you want to be?" he said.

"Well I do." she said.

He took of his necklace and bracelet he was wearing and put it on her. "Wear this then. I want you to have it for as long as we are togther then." he said.

To Ruthie's luck Emily had just walked around the corner with Peter, so to make her jealous Ruthie let Jason put the neckalce and bracelet on and then Ruthie reached up to hug him and she kissed him on the cheek. Peter put his arm around Emily and they walked away, Emily scowling.

"That was Emily and my old boyfriend Peter. Don't worry you are so much better than Peter." she said as she hugged him.

The bell rang and They walked into the calssroom. Jason sat right next to Ruthie and he smiled when she looked at him.

Ruthie couldn't believe it... she was in LOVE!!
