CHAPTER SIXTEEN: we put the "f-u" back in fun
After they returned to Knighton Hall, they sat outside in the garden and started making banners and flags. Since Hazel pretty much sucked at anything to do with needle and thread, they crushed up some berries and other items to make paint. The flags read "R.P.O" which stood for "Righteously Pissed Off." One of the banners Hazel made read "The sheriff has a small penis and must compensate for it by being a creeper."
"Really, Hazel?" Ruby said, "I mean for cereal. Must you stoop so low to insult his inadequacy of manhood?"
"Yeah."
"You're insane."
"And you're a pushover. Opposites attract."
"I am not a pushover!" Ruby argued, "Yes you are." Hazel stated, "You let your brothers and Ryan walk all over you. And for what? That maybe they'll see the errors of their ways? They won't unless you stand up for yourself."
Deep down, Ruby knew Hazel was right and that upset her. She hated being vulnerable in front of people. "I'm not saying this to hurt you, I'm saying this because I'm your best friend and best friends are honest with each other." Hazel said. Ruby nodded and looked at her feet as tears began to form. "I didn't ask to be that way." She said quietly. Hazel walked over and sat next to Ruby. "No one asks to be that way." Hazel said. Marion and Djaq sat down with them. "All I ever wanted from Adam and Jared was for them to accept me and love me like their sister. But instead they treat me like an outsider. They always 'forget' my birthday, they've never showed up to any of my art shows. I thought that would change with Ryan and it didn't. He left me for someone else." Ruby cried, now the tears were starting to fall. They enveloped her in a group hug and just let her get it out of her system. "You guys know I love you but this is feels too much like Oprah." Ruby said wiping her eyes. Hazel laughed and smacked her upside her head. "Let's finish these banners and flags before I burn to a crisp." Ruby said and they laughed.
NIGHT
They finished the banners and flags shortly after Ruby's little episode. Now, Hazel and Ruby were on the table with long johns on their heads and they were entertaining Djaq and Marion with a song and dance.
Well you didn't wake up this morning,cos you didn't go to bed,
you were watching the whites of your eyes turn red.
The calendar on your wall,is ticking the days off,
Youv'e been reading some old letters,you smile and think how much youv'e changed,
all the money in the world couldn't buy back those days.
You pull back the curtains and the sun burns into your eyes,
you watch a plane flying,across the clear blue sky.
This is the day,your life will surely change,
This is the day,when things fall into place.
You could of done anything,you'd wanted,
and all your friends and family think that your lucky.
There's a time you'll never see,when you left them only memories,
that hold your life,together like glue.
You pull back the curtains and the sun burns into your eyes,
you watch a plane flying across the clear blue sky,
This is the day,your life will surely change,
this is the day when things fall into place.
this is the day (this is the day),
Your life will surely change.
Djaq and Marion applauded and laughed as Hazel and Ruby bowed. "Now we are going to take a short break and then continue." Ruby said plopping herself down on the table. Marion handed her a goblet of water and an apple. "So Ruby, truth or dare?" Djaq asked, Ruby groaned. "Truth." She answered, "Is Allan a good kisser?" Djaq asked slyly.
"PASS!"
"Oh no you don't!" Hazel exclaimed, Ruby rolled her eyes and sighed.
"He's an excellent kisser." She admitted, "my turn."
"Marion, truth or dare?"
"Truth." Marion answered, "Are there vampires in the forest or are you gonna tell us how you got that spot on your neck?"
Hazel and Djaq laughed. "Okay so I gave Robin his clothes back and he got a bit excited." Marion answered with a blush.
"Well Much was little perturbed with me but then when I laid a big fat wet one, he shut up quickly." Hazel said pretty happy with herself.
"You skank. You're with him for maybe ten minutes and already you're willing to let him in your pants." Ruby teased. Hazel punched her in the arm. "I dropped John's clothes about half way down my path but I kept Will's and hid in a bush. When he ran by, I jumped out and gave him his clothes and took off." Djaq said, "So you didn't rape him?" Ruby asked, "What's wrong with you? He's packing a lot of wood if you know what I mean."
Everyone laughed.
"Break's over. I have the perfect song!" Hazel said, "What song?" Ruby asked slightly nervous. "'The Glory of Love'." Hazel answered.
They got back on the table and started singing
Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I'll save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
After that song, Hazel and Ruby fell in a heap on the table, laughing. "I'm going to miss you two." Djaq said with a sad smile. "Djaq, we have a few more days." Hazel said, "I know, but that seems too short." She explained, "We'll miss you guys too. I mean we don't have a lot of girls in our group of friends. It's mostly guys, unless you count Spooner and Stick because they're gay but whatever." Ruby said. "Let's not think about it. Let's just enjoy the time we have together before we find the necklace." Marion soothed. Everyone agreed and they went back to their happy chatter.
