🎧 Apocalypse- Cigarettes after s

Ruby's POV
I woke up, in a strangely good mood, I was usually mad or groggy, after my dad died I was always mad.
but today i felt good so i was going to embrace it.
I put on my makeup and made my hair look the best i could, and put on my outfit, i walked out when i saw mike biking over asking for a ride, he always did this and it always scared the christ out of me.
"Ruby! Wait up! Drive me to school, please! Ruby!"
Mike yelled "Fine. Get in!" I yelled back.
As he got in he was panting like he couldn't breathe, I knew it was from his biking but he was only 3 houses down.
"Are you good?" I asked "I'm great-" he gasped in between breaths obviously struggling to get the words out.
So i left him alone to catch his breath, we soon arrived at the school, and Mike asked me a question "Is there a basketball game today?" "Yea?" i asked "Dang it! Can you please sub for Lucas in d & d?"he pleaded "God Mike, i don't know." "please!" he yelled busting my eardrums."Jesus, ok."
He always did this, begged until he got want he wanted, it was annoying, but i said ok so i had too.
I always dreaded the pep rally so i was going to skip, i walked outside and bumped into someone, i fell and hit my head on the ground.
"God jesus christ!" I yelled when i opened my eyes i saw a man on the ground he had long hair and a denim vest.
We both wallowed in pain on the floor till he got up, and he reached a hand out I grabbed it, " thank you, i'm so sorry i didn't mean to bump into you."
"it's okay don't worry, it was my fault." he spoke smiling.
I blushed.
i smiled back at him as he pulled me up off my back, "My name is Ruby, You?" "Eddie Munson." "Hold on, Ruby?" "Yeah that's my name, why?" " oh never mind." He spoke
He then walked away, god my head hurts.
I got and Advil from my purse, swallowed it, and walked outside, I needed a fresh breath.
