Chapter 1: Ran into the Start
No Warnings~
Once again, Ruby was in the office. She couldn't help it if she always has gotten in trouble. If she was just too hot headed to stay quite. She was alway in trouble, that's what she was known for. Other than her popular best friends, and mean girlfriend, she was known for just being angry. Not always but mostly. She had nothing to be angry for but just for people stupidity. Some teachers understood and some didn't. And the teacher who didn't, sent her to the office before someone had even pissed her off. So that teacher ended up taking some poor, deserving teen place in making her mad.
The principle opened her door and from the looks of it, she wasn't happy. Actually, she wasn't ever happy. She always had a straight face. She looked down at Ruby because her head was always held high. She pointed her fingers inside the office without saying a word and Ruby got the message loud and clear. Even though it was the quietest room in the whole school.
'' I think you know why you're here,'' The principle said in a bland voice. Ruby sighed.
'' I didn't do anything yet! Can't people give me a chance to get mad at something before I get in trouble?'' Ruby asked. The principle put her finger to her own mouth telling her to be quiet.
'' You're not in trouble.'' She finally stated. Ruby was able to breathe. '' I'm consternation that you would think that but given your record this and last year.'' She paused looking at Ruby. '' This is abrupt, given your record, but some teachers and I think that you'll be a good person to be around for someone who's in your class.''
'' Is it Jasper? I can't help her.'' Ruby blurted. She narrowed her eyes at her.
'' Don't interrupt me.'' She paused. '' I noticed that you have mostly the same classes with a student, Sapphire Winther, and I suggest that this could be good for both of you. Mostly you.''
Ruby had never heard of her. She saw her around but she wasn't someone you could point out in a crowd not that she would be in one. She didn't know anyone who was friends with her or the slightest related to her. Know one really knew her or talked about her like that for Ruby to hear so Ruby didn't pay much attention to her. She only knew her because she was the one girl who didn't use the library to hide their weed in books or take a quick nap.
'' Why exactly me? I'm trouble, aren't I? Shouldn't you put someone more, less trouble, than me?''
'' That's a good reason but I think being around her will help you. I believe being around her will effect both you. As I'm frighten to say this, I put somewhat of trust into you to be her friend. I hope you can pull this off or less you'll have to have summer school because you're grades are failing too.''
Ruby just sat there staring at her in shocked that one out of hundreds of teachers she had that didn't like her believed her in. Not to mention the sudden mention of summer school.
'' You can head back to class, hopefully, this will be the last I see you in this hour.'' The principle bluntly said pointing to the door. Ruby nodded rushing out the door.
Since visiting the principle, Ruby didn't know exactly what she was supposed to do. Worrying about the wrong things at the wrong time she forgot to ask questions like what was she intended to do. She had no problem with making friends but she had enough to handle with her best friends constant parties and drama. Was she suppose to talk to her on regular basis or just wave. Either way, she knew her friends wouldn't approve since they were more interested in what was going on in their circle. To put it in simple words, they only cared and reacted to their group.
When the class ended for the day, she was ready to blot out. Stress couldn't begin since Ruby wasn't all high on studying. It wasn't that she was unsmart, she just didn't have the determination or reason to do so. But the teacher had other plans for her calling her up after class ended.
'' Has the principle talked with you?'' The teacher asked stacking papers in her desk. Ruby nodded. '' I think what you are doing is really nice and maybe other kids will catch on. There's going to be a science project due in a few months, your group is Jasper, Lapis, and Sapphire.''
Ruby sighed. The last thing she needed was extra work. '' What's it about?''
'' That's what I love about science, you'll have to find a discover it on your own.'' The teacher paused. '' If anything serious happens with Sapphire, please tell me or the principle.''
'' Okay,'' Ruby said walking out. As she turned down the hall, Lapis, her girlfriend caught up with her. Her taller height shadow gave Ruby a heads up she was coming not to mention her ocean themed perfumed.
'' I feel as if I've haven't seen you all day.'' Lapis exaggerated since Ruby saw her in the morning and lunch. '' Why were you in the principle's office.''
'' The principle just wanted me to become friends with this girl.''
Lapis sucked her teeth. '' It's Sapphire, isn't it? Of course, that's why she's in our group.'' She said out of annoyance.
'' She can't be that bad, why don't you like?'' Ruby asked.
'' I just don't and neither does Jasper. I don't even want you hanging out with her.'' Lapis responded.
Ruby rolled her eyes. She opened her locker and took some books out of her bag. '' Nothing will happen and if I don't do whatever the principal says she'll send me to summer school and somewhere worst than that.''
Lapis just sighed and raised her hand to her forehead. '' You don't have to go,''
'' Maybe this is good, everytime something bad happens our group is always the center of attention. Anyways, my mom will let me go if she's going.''
'' Fine. But she's not going, that's only a cover for your parents.'' Lapis assured her. Ruby nodded. '' And I like being the center of attention.'' Lapis winked at her and walked away.
Ruby stood at the door waiting for everyone to rush out and trust when everyone came out, it was like watching the first moment in Lion King. People yelling and screaming. Everyone going crazy. Even though it was in the middle of the week, people acted like this all the time. Ruby had to wait for Jasper to come out for them to pick up things for their party on the weekends. Since everyone was coming, they had to stack up quickly. From what Jasper said her parents were leaving for the whole weekend so they could party all night and day for all she cared. Ruby probably wasn't since her parents expected her to come home around the morning but hated when she hanged out with her group since they seemed to cause trouble for her.
Usually, it took Jasper forever to wake Amethyst from class so she decided to go in the classroom herself to wake her up with her. She swung the school door open only to knocked down a figure in front of her. They both fell on the floor with the other person books falling down.
'' Watch it-'' Ruby was about to yell into she looked up. She saw a pale girl who looked about her height. She had long black ombre hair but her hair covered her eyes. Ruby was breathless at her. '' I'm sorry.'' Ruby started to pick up her books in a panic as the girl got up. She read in perfect handwriting, Sapphire. '' You're Sapphire?''
To Ruby, the girl looked nothing like everyone had made a big deal about. She seemed like a nice enough person. She was indeed as pretty as anyone else in the school.
She just looked at her and nodded silently.
'' Well, here you go.'' Ruby handed her the books she dropped and smiled back at her. In her mind, 'Maybe this won't be complete hell after all.'
'' Thank you,'' Sapphire responded softly and bolted out the door.
Ruby just stood there at the door watching her leave. She looked at the most stupid and she felt like it since she was burning up and she could have said more to her. In the cover of her eye, she could see something sparkling in the distance. She picked it up and looked closely at it to see a beautiful blue locket with diamonds printed in S. Quickly Ruby put it in her pocket and mumbled '' Stupid to herself.''
'' You're not the only one.'' Amethyst yell from down the hallway was she was walking with Jasper. '' Guess who got a 47%?''
'' 3 points higher and she's off the walls,'' Jasper mumbled hitting Amethyst upside her head.
Ruby chuckled but she could only think of the girl she just ran into. Literally.
