Chapter 5: Becoming closer

A true friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else believes your smiles -Anonymous

December 28, 2015 (Same as chapter 4)

Sapphire woke up. She felt cold water vapor on her forehead. A strange feeling in her hands and feet. Her body wasn't cold or warm. It was more like a human. And she did not enjoy the feeling of being neutral.

'' Sapphire your awake!'' A voice said. Sapphire turned her head to her left to see Ruby. She was covering her eye, though.

'' Where am I?'' Sapphire asked.

'' The nurse office. Are you okay?''

'' Y-ya.''

Sapphire slowly raised up. She could feel her blood from her head move. Or maybe those were her thoughts draining out.

'' Are you hurt or anything?'' Ruby asked. Sapphire looked up at Ruby and saw the way Ruby cover her eye with her headband.

'' Are you hurt?'' Sapphire answered approaching her.

'' N-no.'' Ruby said.

'' You are. What happened?'' Sapphire asked.

'' Nothing.''

'' Your eye. You are hurt.''

'' N-no I'm not. And it's just a bruise.''

'' No, it's not. Let me see.''

'' Sapphire it's nothing.'' Ruby said.

'' Ruby.'' Sapphire said staring long and hard at her. Ruby gave in her moved her headband up. Her eye was soling and turning purple. '' Ruby your more then hurt. How did this happen?'' Sapphire asked. Ruby turned away from her. '' It was Jasper wasn't?''

Sapphire took a good guess. Only, Ruby didn't want Sapphire to know. Didn't want her to worry herself. She didn't want Sapphire to do something she couldn't do. Even if it was an act of friendship she still wanted it as a secret. Even to her own family.

'' Ruby was it her?'' Sapphire asked. Ruby nodded but, she still was turned away from her. '' I-I have to do something about this.''

'' No, you don't.''

'' Why? What she's doing is wrong!''

'' And we can't do anything. She'll just continue being mean to be and-''

'' And?''

'' She's continue liking you.'' Ruby mumbled. Sapphire eyes winded but, Ruby probably didn't noticed.

'' And I'll continue ignoring her liking. I would never imagine myself to someone who's so mean. Someone who does things to hurt someone who didn't do anything.'' Sapphire said holding Ruby hands. Red blush appeared on Ruby face.

'' You two should go home.'' Said the nurse walking into the office. '' Get some reset. Should I call parents to come?''

'' It's alright with me, Ruby?''

'' I'm okay.''

Ruby and Sapphire walked down the cold street. The cold wind gave Sapphire a refreshing breeze while, gave Ruby shivers. There were no cars since school was going on and people were probably at work. Most stores were open but, barley people were in them. It was a quite day. Most people weren't around. Sapphire long hair blew behind her back kinda like a long scarf being pulled behind by the wind. Even though Ruby and Sapphire walked together they didn't have much to say. Sapphire couldn't explain why she passed out or why she ran out of the bathroom. And Ruby didn't want to talk about the fight with Jasper.

'' Do you want to come over to my house?'' Sapphire asked. Ruby turned to her.

'' Like, hang out?''

'' Ya, I'll be fun. And since there's no school tomorrow I'll be like a sleep over.'' Sapphire smiled. Ruby thought about it. Would she rather hang out with Sapphire or have to explain why she got punch in the face to her parents.

'' Alright. What will we do?''

'' All kinds of things. Well, I never had a sleep over though.''

'' Really?'' Ruby asked. She couldn't believe someone like Sapphire never had a sleep over before. Sapphire seemed like a perfect popular, pretty princess. Everyone liked her and adored her as there leader. Though, the more Ruby knew Sapphire the more she started to rethink everything about her. Sapphire could of just been a regular girl who just happened to be lucky to have everyone by her side.

'' I never had a sleep over before either.''

'' So, It'll be like first times. Kinda like those humans quotes people can relate too.'' Sapphire said. She had seen a couple of quotes around the school that seemed to be very informational. Only she couldn't relate to anything. Nothing in a human life could relate to Sapphire. Nothing in Sapphire life could relate to a human life.

'Human Quotes?' Ruby thought. She wondered why Sapphire referred herself other than a human.

'' We can have chocolates.''

'' I thought you were allergic to chocolates?''

'' Nope. I'm not allergic to anything.''

'' Then, what happened when Jasper gave you chocolates?''

Sapphire turned silent. She had know idea how to explain herself. She could always tell Ruby she has powers and that she almost died but, that would totally make her an alien. And she didn't want Ruby to feel that way about her.

'' Those were just, uh, something I couldn't eat.'' Sapphire said.

'' They were?''

'' yup.'' Sapphire mumbled.

'' So, where do you live?'' Ruby asked.

'' Just a few blocks ahead I guess. I haven't really memorized anywhere really.''

'' I can show you if you want.'' Ruby said. Sapphire smiled. '' You remember which block you're on by the different surroundings. A cross the street in the corner is the big Mabel tree. And across from that is were the senors hang out.'' Ruby pointed.

'' Oh. I totally get it now.'' Sapphire laughed. '' I always get lost here. Thank you.''

'' No problem.'' Ruby smiled. Even though, Sapphire was cold, Ruby felt warmness. And truly somewhere in her heart with all the ice and frost there were heat build in for a important someone... Just the right size to love them...

*No, this is not the ending. This is nowhere near the ending. The only reason why the chapter ends like this is because this is the last day before they have winter break and nothing really happens important for me to write in the chapter on them. Next chapter is when they come back in 2016.*
