''Ruby!''
I groaned.
''Ruby! Get out of bed, you're going to be late!''
I grabbed my pillow and put it over my head, so that annoying voice would stop disturbing my sleep.
I groaned again, as someone grabbed my pillow and snatched it out of my hands.
The annoying person now walked towards my window.
''Good morning, world!''The person chirped as they opened the curtains.
I furrowed my brows as small rays of sunlight entered my room.
As I slowly opened my eyes to let them get used to the light, I recognised my mom standing in front of the window, looking outside.
''It's unbelievable the weather is this good, isn't it? And after the heavy raining from yesterday!'' She sighed.
''Yeah, yeah.'' I muttered through clenched teeth as I sat up. I never was a morning person.
''Geez, Ruby. Hurry up!'' My mom said in her usual high-pitched voice as she threw some clothes at my head.
''No way, mom. This shirt does not go with that jeans. You're lucky I live in your house.'' I sighed as I got up from my bed.
''Maybe. But you're lucky too, you'd be doomed if you didn't have someone to wake you everyday.'' She smiled as she walked towards the door. ''Breakfast is ready! Hurry up, ok?'' She called over her shoulder.

I looked out of the windows as my mom gibbered on about the most unimportant things possible.
We were sitting in her small, old car.
It was a pretty warm morning for this time of the season, so we had thrown open all the windows and turned on the music.
Being with my mother was fun. When I was with her, I always felt...
...wanted.
My father and I weren't exactly on good terms with each other.
He was the owner of a martial arts club, and wanted me to be as talented as his students from the moment I was born.
I had never liked anything like wrestling or martial arts, I was more interested in sewing. He didn't care though, all he cared about was his stupid martial arts. This all resulted in big conflicts every time we where home at the same time.
A few of his students now were entered in a nationwide tournament, causing him to be away for three months already.
This reminded me...
I turned the radio off. My mom had been singing along so loudly, that when I turned off the radio it took her a few minutes to realise that the music was gone. She blinked, but then turned her head in my direction and asked me, ''What is it, Ruby?''
''When is Norman going to be home?'' I asked her.
Ever since our last fight, I refused to call my father 'dad'.
She bit her lip, ''I don't know... All of his students entered the finals, so he is going to be away for at least a few weeks more.''
''Ok.'' I didn't miss him or something. I just wondered for how long he'd leave his family alone.
I looked out of my window again. We passed the trees and houses so quickly that they were nothing but grey, brown and green strokes in a sea of white and blue.

''Where here!'' My mom chirped.
She always did that, even when I sat only a feet away from her. She reminded me of that girl from my class, Blue.
That girl also had the urge to scream in somebody's ear, just because she enjoyed to see the victim flinch.
These 'victims' were her friends Red and Green, mostly.
...Or me, of course. I had just recently started hanging out with these four people from my class. Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. We weren't exactly friends yet, but we sat together during lunch, and had fun.
My best friend was Sapphire. We had a fight a few days ago, though. And we hadn't talked ever since.
''Ruby, no spacing out on my passenger's chair.'' I heard my mom say.
I stepped out of the car and closed the door.
The brown haired woman waved at me happily, and in a few seconds she was gone already.
She really needed to drive more slowly... She was going to get herself killed someday.

As I turned around to face the school, I noticed the school-yard was almost empty.
Fuck.
I hurried to the main building, and managed to reach the classroom just in time before the second bell rang.
''Ah, Ruby. Sit down please.'' Mrs. Lorelei commanded as I entered the classroom, panting heavily.
I sat down on my spot.
From the corners of my eyes I noticed Red, Green and Yellow were talking to each other softly, but frantically.
I could hardly hear what they were saying, but managed to understand a few words, ''...Blue...Didn't see her since last weekend...you didn't either?...I wonder...''
I noticed that indeed, the noisy girl, Blue, was gone. I looked around, but didn't see her anywhere.
I did notice a girl with a blue bandana and shoulder length brown hair sitting in the back of the class looking away as soon as I turned around. I sighed and turned my head to the teacher again. Sapphire was one person you didn't want to be in a fight with.
...It wasn't like that stopped me, though.
Normally we forgot about our fights a few minutes after we started them. The last one was different, though.
It had happened during lunch, Sapphire and me were talking about the upcoming dance.
I told her that I wondered who could be my date. Next thing I know is that she starts randomly insulting me.
It was unbelievable, and to think I'd have liked to ask her if she didn't have a date. It'd be sad if she went alone, I thought. Anyway... We made a bet. The first one to have a date for the dance would win. I wondered why she was so angry with me for so long, though. It was just a bet. I had tried talking to her a few days ago, but she had shoved her stuff into her bag and just walked away, leaving me standing there, flabbergasted.
Suddenly Mrs. Lorelei started shouting over the chatting of the students.
''I have some important news to tell you, students.''
I looked up from the book I was reading and focussed on what she had to say.
''As some of you may have noticed, Blue is not with us here today.''
She cleared her throat as she continued, ''This is because she has been in the hospital since Saturday morning.
She was hit by a car on the way home.''
A few girls gasped, as the brown haired woman continued her story, ''Her condition is good at the moment, except for the fact that she has not woken up yet.''
I looked at the girl's best friends from the corner of my eyes, and noticed they were all staring at Mrs. Lorelei with their eyes widened.

During lunch, I sat with Emerald, Red, Green and Yellow. It was like I was alone, though.
Red, Green and Yellow hadn't spoken a word since Mrs. Lorelei had told everyone what had happened to Blue, not even to each other, and Emerald had fallen asleep on his plate again.
I was poking my lunch with my fork.
I didn't even think of eatingit.
My mother had made it, and believe me. Mom and food weren't a good combination.
This salad, for example. I could swear it was breathing.
I sighed as I shoved my plate away.
I wasn't very good with food, but I did know that salad was not supposed to be alive, before or after you made it.
This lunch wasn't a very cheerful one, so I got sick of it.
''I'm going outside.'' I told the others. Emerald was the only one who showed any sign of hearing me, though.
He lifted his head, and mumbled a, ''yeah, whatever.'', while his face was covered in spaghetti sauce. Before he had even totally sat up, his head fell into his lunch once again, and he fell asleep again.
I picked up my bag, swung it over my shoulder and walked out of the canteen door.

As I stopped by at my locker to pick up the books that were needed for the next subject, I noticed that a group of giggling girls was standing a few feet away, looking at me every now and then.
I just ignored them, until all of a sudden one of the girls, a small girl with short raven hair and brown eyes, walked into my direction.
''Hi.'' She said.
''...Er, hi.'' I mumbled.
''I'm Anne.'' She told me, holding out her hand.
''I'm Ruby.'' I answered her, grabbing her hand and shaking it.
''I know we don't know each other that well, but I'd like to ask you...'' She started, fidgeting her fingers nervously, ''...If you'd like to go to the dance with me.'' She finished, looking at her shoes.
'Going to the prom with this girl? I barely even know her!'
'...Although,' I thought, 'Asking Sapphire is out of the question. She will say no anyway.'
I was quiet for a while. But when the girl looked up again, I smiled and answered her, ''Yeah, why not.''
She opened her mouth, but then closed it again.
''...T-thank you. Thank you!'' She grinned at me broadly, wrote down her number on a piece of paper, gave it to me and then walked over to her friends, who started squealing uncontrollably after a few seconds.
It wasn't until I grabbed my math book that I saw a girl dressed in blue spin on her heels as soon as she noticed me, and walk the opposite way.
''Sapphire!'' I called after her, but she didn't respond. She just started walking even faster.
'Enough of this.' I decided as I slammed my locker shut and walked after her.
She didn't notice me following, judging from the way she lowered speed.
The bell rang, but I didn't care. As the students slowly disappeared into their classrooms, Sapphire sighed and leaned against one of the lockers, eyes closed.
Soon we where the only ones left in the hallway.
''You'll be late, you know.'' I told her.
Sapphire flinched, and spun around. ''Why do you care?'' She snapped.
''Because you're my best friend.'' I answered dryly, in an 'isn't it obvious'-tone.
''I don't want to be your best friend anymore.'' She hissed.
''Why?''
She blinked.
''I really do not understand why you won't talk to me anymore. It was only a small fight. We have these daily.'' I continued.
''...I-'' She muttered.
But then she straightened her back and screamed, ''I hate you! Stay away from me!''
I could only gape at her as she ran away.

...If there was one thing I did not understand, it was girls.

I'm very sorry if this chapter sucked… I am not good in writing in a guy's perspective. DX
Buuuuut... I can tell you that I've written a Franticshipping chapter, and my best friend said it's her favourite one yet!
So yeah, everything'll be alright!

...And oh, yeah. That chapter is chapter twelve, so it'll probably be a while before you'll be able to read it xD
