Ruth-less

New Kid I Know

Next morning I wake up in the same muddy pants I wore last night 'right im probably going to see that girl', Zuri is her name 'she's so pretty' I think when I get to school Luke is waiting at the front door for me

"HEY Ruth what happened last night are you ok me and Faith seen what happened on TV was everything ok after" I just shake my head

"Do you have my lighter?" I ask

"uh yeah here" he hands me my lighter and I light a cigarette. I know I really shouldn't smoke or paparazzi may try and use this to "expose" me but I don't care like I said I don't want to be famous...Yet at least not for my body when im done I stomp my cigarette it kinda looks like a heart when I walk into the school it's the same people try to talk to me but I go through them and Luke tells people to go away I get to Faiths locker when she sees me she gives me a big hug "I'm glad your back god I hope your ok yesterday looked so stressful I can't actually imagine being in that position"

"yeah it really did suck but we're getting a new girl today she's also famous I met her at the conLu she's actually kinda pretty" the bell rings and everyone rushes to their classrooms people try to swarm and pick a desk near me but Luke and Faith make sure that the left and right desks are theres and that the front and back desk stay empty

"ALRIGHT CLASS SETTLE DOWN PLEASE!" the teacher's voice roars through the classroom to get everyone to calm down

"ok today we have a new student" Zuri walks in she's even prettier then before when she sees me she waves so I wave a little wave back

"This is Zuri Goesha. She's new here so please be kind. I know that's a lot to ask for from teenagers but i'm asking anyway Zuri you may take a seat in front of Rulin" she does something that almost makes the three of us laugh

"actually mr..."

"Mr.Yevet"

"ah actually Mr.Yevet I think her name is Ruth?" he sighs

"just sit down" she sits down in front of me I can't stop thinking about how pretty she is I can literally smell her dame hair that's how close she is and it smell really dame good, next period I go to the bathroom as a close the stall I hear crying as much as I don't want to I knock on the stall wall

"uh-hey are you alright"

"no not really" the voice replies

"what happened?" I asked,

"I'm a weirdo, a freak" I felt very similar to the voice

"hey you might think that about yourself but it's not true" the voice sounds agitated

"EVERYONE THINKS I 'M WEIRD! And you will never know that feeling!" I look down at my raggedy converse and fiddle with my thumbs

"look I know what it's like to feel like your not wanted and I've been down the road like a lot and it's not pretty I've spent most of my life thinking no one likes me for who I am that I forgot about the people who do actually care i'm sure your mom loves you and cares about you or maybe any siblings" _ the bell rings I don't move neither does the other girl

"thanks for talking to me you're the first person to talk to me" I feel a painful feeling in my heart as she says that

"hey why don't you come back here at lunch so we can talk again you know without telling eachother who we are you know how sometimes people will talk"

"I think I would like that i'll leave first" the girl leaves and after a minute or so I leave i'm late that was second period bell 'shit I thought that was warning bell' I think, I run to my next class and nearly fell Zuri is also in this class with me most of the desks around her are empty except for the desk that people got stuck with from last picking I walk over to where Zuri is and say hi
