A GH story

Ruby

Ruby's

"Make sure you pack all of your skirts and vests" "okay mom. I know." I said to her coldly. Although  I didn't go through what Red did I was still mentally scared by mother. I've only gotten 5 Brandings in my life. Red's gotten 24. Some of them were my fault. Me and Red are only different when it comes to style but personality wise,we're similar. She's just more bold. I can't punch someone because they call my friend a bitch. I don't stick up for myself very well. I finished packing all my important essentials and I laid in bed for a little staring at the text messages between Red and I. She was my only REAL friend since mom didn't really let us go out and have friends. "Ruby dear, did you finish packing?" My mother peeked her head through the door "yes I did." I responded not making eye contact with her "Ruby don't be a stranger when you get at AP. Some kids there will change your life, just try and make friends" she said before walking out closing the door silently. After a while of scrolling through Red and I's past messages i message her goodnight. I set my alarm to 6 AM so I had enough time to get Ready and go out to the Car moms taking me in. I fell asleep watching a mini movie on my phone.

I woke up sharply from the alarm since I'm not used to being woken up by something other than mom screaming at Red, or the shriveled sounds of a beheading. I get out of bed slowly rubbing my eyes and stretching out my arms. I got one of my favorite pink skirts and a pink vest with the outline being white, I grabbed leg warmers and fishnets with a lot of bracelets. I went into the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth, putting three cute clips in my hair. There are really only some days were a feel like wearing a lot of pink, today I wanna make a good first impression as the new girl from wonderland. Normal my fit is more gothic kind off, like reds but in skirt form. I finished getting ready and grabbed my bag i packed the night before and walked out my room for the last time. Thinking about it like that makes me sad a little but I feel free knowing I won't wake up to Red vandalizing the village, or the sounds of my mother screaming at Red for the vandalism. I'd be free from all of it. I rushed to get in the car as mother waited for me and smiled once I got in. "I'm glad you're going to spend more time with your sister,Ruby." My mother said as a looked out the window, seeing the deadly roses and talking rabbits having little tea parties. "I know mom." I said cold. I don't know how to show any emotion near my mother, I know deep down she broke me in a way. But I feel better when I'm with Red, I can open up to her without her hitting or yelling at me for crying or being to sensitive. We arrived at AP shortly and I saw Red and principal Uma standing outside the front entrance. I got out and grabbed my bad as mom said goodbye but I didn't have the heart to pay her any attention. I gave Red a tight hug as she tussled around in my hair "you ready Little rabbit?" She said as she smiled "yea, I think" I replied, she held my hand and walked with me up to my dorm, giving me my very own room key. A huge smile was plastered on my face and she giggled a little. We walked all the way to my dorm as Uma yapped about the "do's and don't's" at  AP I made sure to pay attention. I really don't want to have a bad year so I'm gonna try and do a really good job. "I do a lot of the Don'ts so don't be like me Ruby" she said laughing as Uma glared at her and she immediately stopped laughing. We got inside my dorm and she helped me set up my room, making my bed comfy and setting up my new desk.

Reds POV

When I was done helping Ruby set up her room I immediately rushed for first period since I'm not supposed to be missing class. I walk in and sit with leah before the teacher notices I was late "where were you,wonderland?" Leah said smirking "helping out Ruby with her room" I replied almost a little out of breath "who's Ruby?" She asked me flipping to the page in our textbook "oh Ruby? She's my sister" "you have one?! I never knew that" I laughed at her shock and got to work, well partly working.

Time skip! -lunch-

I was eating lunch with my usual friends and I saw Ruby come in looking around for me, I get up and walk over to her taking her away from the large crowd and long line of kids trying to get school lunch "I'm always at this table okay Rubs" I said holding her hand and walking to the the table "okay!" She said cheerfully. Shit I need to go see Chloe "Hey Ruby, wanna go see chloe with me" I asked, only because I didn't want to leave her with my friends. Not that I don't trust them but they can be a handful at times. We started walking out the cafeteria when I spot Kai and Aziz leaning on a locker talking about whatever pricks talk about. I grab Ruby by the hand and start walking over to the dorms but not even a step further Kai spots us and starts walking over still laughing and punching Aziz "who's your friend wonderland." He said as they stood taller in front of us. "That's none of your business Kai." I said coldly looking him dead in his eyes. "You know, I'm still pissed about my necklace." He said flicking my forehead causing me to slap his hand away "who the fuck cares about your necklace." I said pushing him back a little. I didn't want to fight Kai cuz I knew that he was a good fighter, I mean, I am too our strengths even up. "I want my fucking necklace,Red" he said aggressively shoving me into a locker behind me "HEY KNOCK IT OFF!" Ruby yelled, shit I don't need her seeing this right now. I grabbed her arm pulling her closer to me "I'll be up in a few minutes." She looked at me hesitantly but i shoved her forward and she sprinted to my dorm. "Tell me who she is and I'll leave you be." Kai said grinning walking closer to me, my back not leaving the locker. "It's not of your concern Kai!" I said getting impatient with this whole interaction. "God your so fucking annoying." He said kneeing me in the stomach full strength, causing me to cough rapidly.
