I have school tomorrow I am very upset about this but it's okay I'll get over it. Okay um still thanks to those who seem obliged to continue reading my story its much appreciated. Well here is more of I'll Do What I Want
Disclaimer: Own nothing except nope nothing.
"Good morning, Mom." Ruthie said as she went downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning honey. Are you getting a ride from Martin today or are you going to ask Lucy or Kevin." Ruthie thought about it and said "well um if um Martin comes and asks I'll get a ride with um him and if he doesn't I guess Lucy and Kevin."
"Oh, by the way do you know why Simon stayed the night?" Annie asked her daughter. "Yeah, I do he just wanted to spend some time talking to me and a little time to spend at his home. I think he misses us sometimes, plus I think he's starting to have a little to much Rose around all the time. I'm happy he stayed here aren't you?"
"Well of course I am." She said with a very high amount of glee at the prospect of Simon getting annoyed with Rose. "Oh I wanted to ask is something the matter with Martin?" Something the mat-she can't know can she? Ruthie thought to herself. "Nope, not that I know of um nope he seems perfect. Absolutely perfect well um I got to get to school bye mom I love you."
"Well that wasn't too obvious." Ruthie heard Annie say as she closed the door. As she walked across the yard to the gate she saw someone open it. "Oh…um hi Ruthie, I was coming to um ask if you um needed a ride." Whoa stutter much Ruthie thought, "Yeah, I do thanks Martin." That sounded way to grateful thought Ruthie. "Okay um great lets go." He said walking to his car. "Oh, I didn't ask how was your date with Meredith are you two still made for each other?" Martin looked down and said to no one in particular it seemed. "Well I um I mean to say we didn't end up going out after all." This was news to Ruthie. "Why? You were looking so forward to that."
"Well she I mean I, well it just didn't work out. So um can we change the subject." Weirder then usual but still Ruthie wondered why he did call it off. "Um….sure we can do you have practice after school?" Martin looked well relieved to have the subject moved to something so natural for him. "Yeah, I do so try not to miss the bus or you'll be waiting forever."
"Thanks for looking out for my well being." Ruthie said with a laugh. "I'll always look out for you." Martin said then seemed to realize what he said and looked straight ahead. The atmosphere in the car suddenly changed dramatically. "Well, um thanks for the ride I'll see you later, hopefully. Bye." Ruthie said as she jumped out of the car and strode up to the front doors all the while thinking, maybe Simon does have a point.
Ruthie walked in and saw the usual people around her locker. As she set to work of getting her books ready, the bell rang and she realized she was going to be very late for class. A boy who Ruthie knew from her gym class stopped in front of her. "Hey, I'm John and well I wanted to know if you maybe wanted to go out." She looked at him he was very good looking with short blond hair, a cute smile and nice eyes but that didn't stop her from saying, "Sorry I can't go out with you not right now at least."
"Why not? You don't want to go out with me why not good enough for you. You got a problem Camden just say it and I'll stop pestering you. Obviously me taking pity and asking a sophomore out is bothering you." Ruthie seemed stunned. "Um first of all I really can't or at this present time want to go out with you. Your rude and mean and if this is so much trouble for you why don't you just leave I'm sure we'd all be a lot happier. Your not even that good looking so sorry. Buh Bye." She said as she turned away to get the rest of her books. Then she felt an arm on her bicep turning her around.
"Ouch, stop your hurting me." He had malice in his eyes and then said "Give me one good reason why I should let you go." She was scared, really scared this guy was big and he looked really mad. "Oh here's a good one" someone said from behind John. Martin came up and punched John in the face where blood started streaming out of his nose, leaving a really scared looking John to let go of Ruthie arm and scamper off.
Ruthie then jumped on Martin in a huge hug. She had tears in her eyes, either from the guy crushing her bicep or from Martin making her so happy maybe a bit of both. "Martin that was so nice of you thank you, I don't know how to repay you that guy was so mean and he hurt my arm really badly. Thank you I wouldn't have known what else to do."
"Don't mention it Ruthie. I told you I'd always look out for you and I meant it. But you are going to stay clear from him for now on right. I mean I'm fine hitting him but I don't want to make a habit of it." He still hadn't broke the hug, neither seemed like they wanted to. The bell to end homeroom just went off and they were still hugging.
"So, this is why you broke our date." Said a voice from behind Martin and Ruthie's embrace.
A/N: Short and sweet and to the point, um the thing with the John character is actually something that happened to my friend (who shall remain nameless) but that's how her and her boyfriend ended up together. So I thought it was really nice how they ended up together (going on a year in about a week) so I added it thanks to that friend. So keep reviewing keep reading keep your heads up high because school has to be done soon right?
Love you Sam
