Ruby Gloom

City of Panic

The hum of the engines of Skull Boy's aeroplane could be heard as Jealousy hugged Ruby.

"Your friends are actually...quite fun."Jealousy admitted.

"I told you will like them!Anyway,I'll miss you!"Ruby said as hugged her tighter.

Even though Ruby's face was carefully averted from her,Jealousy caught a glimpse of the tears glistening on her cheeks as she left.

"Oh,by the way,did I tell you that I am now going to Gloomsville High?"Jealousy asked,batting her eyelashes innocently.

Ruby's heels screeched to a halt and she turns back,her eyes gleaming with hope.

"Really?"Ruby desperation was evident in her rising tone.

"Yup!"Jealousy confirmed.

Both of them shrieked at the top of their voices.

Covering his ears,Peter asked Skull Boy,"Why do girls shriek?".

"One of the mysteries of the world,Peter!"

He switched on the engine and it roared to life.

The propeller began spinning rapidly.

With his right hand,he pushed in the throttle gently while his left hand gripped the control worked the rudder pedals.

The gigantic plane took off and they soared into the skies.

Grey clouds streaked across the day promised rain,much to everyone's delight.

"Er...must you really describe the scene like that?"Skull Boy asked the author.

"Yes"I replied.

Please review if you agree with me.
