Spin The Bottle - Chapter 8

I got ready for school, I wore a yellow dress with a ribbon matching it.

I made toast, eggs, and bacon. I picked up the toast and took a bite, I got my milk and sipped it.

Once I was done eating breakfast, I got my things and opened the door, walking out.

Once I got there, I went to Anne, Diana, and Cole. "Hey. Apparently Josie is gonna play spin the bottle with the whole class.. and Gilbert's joining." Diana said.

I looked at them, "W-Well.. I guess I'll go. But, only because Gilbert is." I nodded.

"Why? So you can get the chance to smooch him?" Cole said, making kissing noises.

I playfully hit him, "Shut up!" I replied, causing the girls and Cole to guffaw.

Gilbert walked up behind me, smiling. "Hey, you gonna play spin the bottle?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yeah I guess so." I smiled back.

"Ooh!" My friends looked at each other, smirking. my eyes widened, looking back at them.

Gilbert chuckled awkwardly, I turned back.

"Uh- I gotta go put my milk down by the stream.." I smiled, having the same awkwardness as Gilbert.

I walked outside, about to put my milk down by the stream until Josie and Ruby came along.

I looked at them and already knew what was gonna happen..

But, Josie looked rather sad, or guilty. She gulped. Ruby was crying, "Look-" I said but they interrupted me.

"Ruby, I don't wanna do this anymore. Just get over Gilbert already! he's never gonna like you!" Josie turned to Ruby,

I stood there shocked and confused.. Ruby looked shocked, she ran into the classroom.

"I-..." Josie looked at me, sadly. She then ran back into the classroom.

I sat my milk down by the stream and went back inside the classroom, "What was that about?" asked Anne.

"Uh.. don't worry about it." I smiled at her.

I was doing division, until something was thrown at me.

I looked behind me to see a mad Ruby and a stressed Josie.

Ruby death stared me right into my eyes, I went back to work and continued to do division, I didn't think anything of it.

Until, Ruby pulled my hair back, hard. And you know that one feeling, it makes you really mad once someone does it, and it also hurts.

I set my chalk down, this girl is done for.

I grabbed my slate and turned around, facing Ruby, I smacked her right across her face with my slate.

I managed to slap her quietly. I don't know how but I got away with it.

I heard her little yelp, before I could turn back I saw Josie struggling to keep her laugh in. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

Diana and Cole snickered, I'm guessing they saw the scene.

Anne was in front so she couldn't really see or hear it.

After school, it was about to be the time to play Spin The Bottle.

I wanted to apologize to Ruby, because I felt like I had too. I don't think slapping her was necessary I guess..
