Chapter four: Party girl

Ruthie left the house early in Jeans and a flowered shirt; she wanted to change at school. She walked to the corner, where Lindsey, Roger and Erica picked her up. On the way to school Ruthie started putting on her makeup, Ruthie wanted to impress Tristan and as many boys as she could.

"You ready?" Lindsey asked.

"Yup," Ruthie said she had changed, and they were in the girl's bathroom. As they walked into the hallway Ruthie could feel all eyes on her. The hallway was packed with kids talking loudly mostly tenth graders. They were all chatting, talking about their summers. As they walked further down the hall, Ruthie spotted Tristan.

"There he is," Ruthie said.

"Play it cool" Lindsey said.

"I know," Ruthie said. Ruthie headed up to him.

"Hey, Ruthie," Tristan said. He waved his friends away.

"Hey,"

"You look great," He said.

"Thanks," She blushed.

"What homeroom are you in?"

"Mr. Horters, the math teacher. You?"

"Mrs. Verlings, I don't know where it is though,"

"Its across from Mr. Horters room,"

"Well that's good, you can show me then,"

"Yes, follow me,"

"Ok," He smiled as he followed her down the hall. Ruthie was so beautiful she had such pretty eyes; they were mesmerizing, and such a sweet voice, an innocent one. Her laugh was so cute it made him feel warm. Ruthie Camden was probably the only girl he would go out with he actually liked, if she would date him.

"Here it is," She smiled.

"Thank you, I guess I'll see you later then?"

"Yeah, at lunch maybe?"

"That'd be cool,"

"Yeah," Ruthie stared at him, he mesmerized her, and he was gorgeous. He had a great smile, with golden blonde hair that glinted in the sun. His eyes were blue and they sparkled. They felt like an ocean that was sucking her up. Every time he laughed she smiled. She felt like her heart was pounding every time she saw him, and she could barely breath every time he saw her. She felt like she was falling in love.

The first day of school was over; Ruthie, Lindsey, and Erica were leaving when a bunch of eleventh graders walked up to them.

"Hey were having a party on Friday and we were wondering if you would come?" They looked at Ruthie, a sort of up down look.

"Yeah we'll come sounds cool," Ruthie said. They handed Ruthie, Lindsey and Erica each an invitation.

"Cool, see ya Friday," The tallest said.

"OMG!" Erica squealed.

"This is sooo—" Lindsey said.

"Awesome!" Ruthie cut her off. They all burst out laughing and giggling; Ruthie felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around.

"Hey," Tristan said smiling.

"Hi," Ruthie said, suppressing a giggle.

"You going to that party?" He asked.

"Yeah, are you?" Ruthie smiled.

"Yeah, Chris invited me."

"Cool,"

"I was wondering if maybe you'd go with me?"

"Yeah," Ruthie said instantly, her heart was pounding.

"You want a ride home?"

"Umm," She looked at Lindsey and Erica.

"Go," Erica whispered, Lindsey nodded.

"Sure" she said. She followed him to his car smiling back at Lindsey and Erica. This had been the best first day ever. This year was going to be the best ever,
