After school,I wait in the parking lot browsing on my phone..
Someone taps my shoulder from behind,when I turn around, it's Ruby.
I remove my glasses because I'm sweating so much simply because I'm under this sun..
She doesn't say anything so I roll my eyes
"So,you don't know what to say,or you just forgot how to apologize?" I ask
"I should be expecting you to talk. Dante said you wanted to see me here. He said it was important" she shrugs as she takes off her headphones.
Ughhh..
"He told me YOU wanted to talk to me" I reply and she shrugs
"Well,we both know what he did,and we know it's no use" she says and puts her headphones on in an attempt to walk away.
"Wait.." I say and I sigh,not believing Dante would do this to me.
"What?"
"So you're just gonna go?" I ask
"Yeah. I have plans this evening" she replies
"So everything we've done;The talks,the outings and everything.. you're just gonna pretend like we didn't do all that?" I ask her and she doesn't reply
"Because we've not spoken for about four weeks now,and you're fine with it?" I ask
"We made a bet" she states
"It was for two weeks" I reply
"Well,I can't be around someone who doesn't understand me. If you think I have an attitude problem,or you think I'm too concealed,then fine.." she shrugs
"I don't get why you won't just talk to me" I say to her
"Because I don't like to!," she states "I don't trust you. I don't trust anyone about anything anymore.. it's all a waste of time,Jason. I told you.. I said you wouldn't wanna go after someone like me" she says
"Ruby!," I call her attention trying to get her to calm down. "I'm sorry"
"I don't want to get involved in this whole friendship thing." she says
"Then we won't go in too deep"
*!*!*!*!
"You still won't show me your house" I say as I stare at the sight right ahead of me
"Yeah," she laughs. "I have trust issues"
"Big time"
Ruby brought me here. Actually,we raced here. So,I decided that we should just enjoy the view for a few minutes.. I challenged her to a race,and man,her motorcycle is fast!!..
"You come here a lot?" I ask and she quickly denies.
"I just decided this was a good stop" she says and I nod.
We talk and talk about the engine of her motorcycle and how much the fuel consumption is.
"Ah, it's 6pm.. I've gotta head somewhere" she says
"Why do you-" I begin but she cuts in
"Don't ask any questions. Don't ruin the good vibes"
I chuckle. She bends down to pick her bag up,an in the process of getting up,she hits my chest.
"Ouch" I say playfully
"I didn't hit you that hard" she chuckles
"So you're not gonna apologize?" I ask playfully
"Nope" she replies and I grab her arm
"No?"
"No" she says as I pull her closer.
