017, chapter seventeen

It was true after two days everyone had forgotten about it the new drama being Emma's broken arm. Both got what they wanted Emma the attention and Ruby went back to being invisible to them.

Another great thing was that Stella would be arriving at around 10 pm but probably too tired because of jet lag. She stopped going to school in September last year since her narcolepsy worsened and she would fall asleep more often in school.

Ranboo was currently walking next to Ruby on their way to their English lesson. It was the day where they would need to make the presentation about Wilbur which was still kind of funny.

After five minutes the teacher was in the classroom smiling at her students who had bored expressions on their faces.

"Let's start with the presentation, who wants to go first?" no one pointed their hand in the air making her sigh and look around to choose someone.

"Rudy I haven't heard much from you this year so let's start with you two" she pointed her finger at them Ruby stood up holding onto her mushroom USB stick.

They gave the boy next to them a reassuring smile feeling the nervousness radiate from him. He just gave her a small smile playing with the ring on his finger.

She opened the presentation taking deep breaths to calm down a bit.

There was a small laugh heard in the class everyone's turning to them confused. Ranboo on the other side just looked like his brain was restarting.

Ruby stood next to Ranboo waiting for them to stop talking. The talking got stopped by the teacher hitting the desk with her keys (one of my teachers always did that and it was so fucking loud)

"Today we are making a presentation about a singer called Wilbur Soot or also called William Gold" Ranboo just switched to the next picture of the presentation.

"Wilbur is a twenty-four-year-old singer and twitch streamer from Brighton. He released songs like Your new boyfriend, jubilee line and I'm in love with an e-girl which you might know from Tik Tok." she stopped talking signalling Ranboo to start with his part.

"He released an album called your city gave me asthma in June twenty-twenty which were about loneliness, past love interest, insecurities and hatred for London. He doesn't like the album very much since he was in a bad mental state while writing the songs" Ruby was standing at the pc switching the pictures while he was talking feeling proud of him. It felt different to talk in front of a class where everyone could see you than sitting at his pc talking to himself or his friends in front of thousands of people which was strange.

"He was also was featured in one of his friend's songs which were about her being in a bad place singing about how she felt lonely while being homeschooled" Ruby was talking about the song of her best friend Stella which released only around one month ago.

The teacher started clapping as they went back to sit down but stopped them before they could.

"So does anyone have questions?" one person raised their hand.

"What is the name of the girl and her song?" asked a girl with round glasses.

"Stelar or Stella Simons and the song is called overthinker" they smiled at the girl getting a smile in return. Ranboo was already walking away Ruby followed after him as they both sat down.

The rest of the lesson went by quickly the best friends not paying attention to it. Ruby was drawing things in her notebook while Ranboo was looking around the classroom.

Ranboo and Ruby were in her bathroom as she was cutting her hair before dyeing it red again. Ranboo was thinking about what would be if he dyed his hair red how everyone would react.

"Ranboo please stop staring I'm trying to concentrate. Or do you want your hair cut too?" it made him think. His hair was very long already getting on his nerves but did he trust her with it? Yeah, he did so he nodded.

"Okay but I'll die my hair first and then we can do yours" he nodded again sitting down on the edge of the bathtub.

After around five minutes they asked him to do the back part of their hair where they couldn't see it. Carefully he put the hair dye in her hair trying not to touch her skin with it.

He was done dyeing the hair so now was the part where Ruby would cut his hair. He sat down on the chair they brought in waiting for them to get ready for cutting the hair.

Ruby started cutting the hair on the back of his head making it so short that it wasn't longer than where his head ended. Ranboo was just sitting there starring at the mirror looking at Ruby how she would put the tip of her tongue out of her mouth when concentrating. Or how they would scrunch their nose when they weren't happy with the outcome yet.

He switched places from behind Ranboo to standing in front of him making themselves a bit smaller by putting their legs wider from each other.

He closed his eyes not wanting any hair to get into them. It tickled when the hair fell on his face making him sneeze. Ruby quickly put the scissors away from his hair luckily not cutting any off.

"Ranboo you need to stop using two in one shampoo. I'll even buy you shampoo and conditioner you don't need to use it" he told Ranboo getting an offended look from him.

"What is wrong with my hair it looks completely normal and fluffy" Ruby shook her head going back to cutting the last bit of his hair that was too long satisfied with the result.

Ruby kept being on his level going with her hand through the hair fixing it while he stared at her admiring her.

Ruby looked down into his eyes as well when they felt him staring. They stared at each other as she just continued running her hand through his hair.

He just looked away awkwardly clearing his throat standing up from the chair. They took their hand off his head taking the chair with them back to their room.

"You have pretty eyes did you know that? It's calming to stare at them" she told him as she put the chair on the floor sitting down on it. He just blushed slightly not being used to getting compliments often.

Ruby was someone special. Did he really just like her as a friend?

meteor speaks!
ruby has an obsession with mushrooms.
It's canon.
