Ruby's POV
Moving from Californina to Indiana was honestly the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I'm not saying Indiana is a bad state, I actually think it's pretty rad. Maybe a little bit chilly once in awhile but still rad. It's just, I've lived in California my whole life. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, I made a lot of friends and family there. It's always warm in LA. Now that I'm here, it's cold, and I feel more alone than ever... I had to leave my best friend Abby and I don't think she's taking it very well. We've known each other since 7th grade and now we're starting high school, which is tomorrow by the way! I don't know how I'm going to handle meeting new people when all my life I've been surrounded by the same normal things. I hate change, I fucking hate it.
I closed my diary and put it away in my drawer. I can't believe I'm actually going to start my first day of high school tomorrow away from home. I hope Abby would still be my best friend after I left her, I mean it's not my fault my mom wanted to move.
Quit thinking that way, Abby will always be your best friend... She promised.
I shook my head in frustration and laid down on my bed. I looked to the right of my pillow to see if my phone was there.
It wasn't.
I began to panic like crazy. Where the hell could it be? I got off the bed quickly and grabbed my blanket. I yanked it off as fast as I could. To my relief I heard my phone fall out of the it.
Thank goodness...
I laid back down, not bothering to pick up my blanket which was now laying on the floor. I turned on my phone and checked the time. It was 7:45 p.m, no doubt my mom would be calling me down for dinner soon. I saw I had 20 notifications from Instagram, 5 from Facebook, 10 from snapchat, and 2 from Kik. I opened up my Kik messages first. 1 came from my friend Itaty and the other came from Abby. You can already guess which one I opened up first.

Abbychan🌚: don't worry I will ;u;

"Ruby mom said come down for dinner!!"
I jumped when I heard my little brother scream. He was literally standing in front of my door.
"Was the yelling really necessary?" I replied annoyed.
He stuck out his tongue and ran back downstairs, "Mom Ruby won't stop using her phone!!!"

Crap, better get down there.

Rubykun🔫: hey I gtg dude, time for dinner. I'll txt you tomorrow after school bye!

I turned off my phone and ran downstairs to see my sad excuse of a family sitting around the table. I took a seat and sat down, looking at my dinner.

"Chicken and rice again mom...?" I asked solemnly.
"Yes again. Now eat up, you got a big day ahead of you tomorrow." My mom so sarcastically replied
"Yup, big day for Ruby! She's gonna be a loner, like always surprise surprise. What about me? I'm a sophomore now!" My big brother rudely interrupted.
I sighed so loudly anyone with a brain could tell I was already annoyed. "Well guess what Fernando, not everybody gives a shit about you. Get that in your head."
"Ooooh Ruby said shit at the dinner table ma!" My little brother Leo happily chimed in.
"Ruby! Show some manners!" My mother yelled.
"You know what? I don't need this bs right now. I'm going upstairs."
I got up and left my crappy food at the table. So much for a family dinner. I changed into my pajamas and went into the restroom to brush my teeth.

I'm so not a loner.
I sipped some water and spit it back out.
I mean this isn't LA, people are nice here.
I cleaned the sink of my spit and my toothbrush as well and stared into the bathroom mirror.
Yup you're dead meat.
