The Sapphire and ruby

Not near THESE bitches

Every body!! Very late update, I know. I literally had Physics, Chemistry, and biology tests in two days. You might be thinking; JUST FOCUS ON UR STUDIES! Well, believe me, I've tried. Wattpad is addictive.
Hope you're all OK. Enjoy this one.

Third persons POV

Next morning.

Leo picked Princess and Marcia so that they could go to school. The three of them piled into the car silently. Leo hadn't spoken to them since the incident with Alicia, and since they thought he needed space, they didn't speak to him either.

Just after he started the car, Marcia punched his shoulder playfully.

"What's up with you? Haven't heard your voice in 22 hours. About Alicia?"

"Not completely." He answered honestly. "Just been thinking stuff through. I hit a girl."

The way he said that was chilling. Almost as if he was blaming them.

"And what does your silence indicate, Princess?" He aske, his eyes still fixed on the road.

She sunk into the back seat.

"Nothing. Just...sorry you hit Alicia. That parcially falls on me. I basically caused it and I'm sorry, but I am still not sorry cause she's a bitch, but I'm mostly sorry, cause I caused you to do something you've never. Yeah, that's it. I'm sorry, but only parcially."

"I love the way you apologize. Have I ever told you?" Leo asked.

"No. But I'm glad to hear it."

"Also, it's not your fault. Completely. I mean, if she's someone you cant be comfortable around, then fuck it. I can always be single."

"I am not letting you die a bachelor. Mostly because I want little nieces who'll fall in love with blue and lip gloss. But also because it's not fair that you put me first in practically every decision you make. Even your personal things. Alicia is not even the first. And, yes, most of the time I'm the one who sees the fault in the girl and points it out, but yesterday, I saw just how much I've been doing it, and just how messed up it is and I saw that you felt horrible after slapping Alicia, so have at it. It's-"

"Woah woah woah. Have at what, cuz? You said it yourself, she's not the first. and I would never put you in an uncomfortable position so that I can do shit. So, enough of this topic. You've already given your marvelous apology. What about Marcia?"

They both turned to look at her. She was casually eating a chocolate bar.

"Wait, what did I do??"

"Wow, Marcia, I should have known this was the point you'll leave me to apologize on my own."

"You know I love you. Chocolate?"

"No, thank you. So are we good?"

Leo stretched out his hand to her, over his shoulder, then folded his fingers to a fist. Princess bumped in. He stretched it out to Marcia and she did same.

******

Marcia and Princess stood by their lockers, grabbing their aprons for home economics class.

"Miss Castles!" An angry voice rang through the hall way.

Princess and Marcia both turned to see who that phychopath was, calling out for Princess by her surname. Their eyes landed on the source of the high pitched voice, almost immediately.

It was a slim teacher. She had dark brown hair packed behind her head, and wore glasses with royal blue frames. Princess whispered to Marcia-

"Who is that?"
