You Can't Fool Me

NEVER!

This is Ruthie's room ^^^ (if you didn't already know...:D)

"Shhh baby, it alright. Take your pj's off and wait on the couch while I clean this up." Ruthie nodded and after taking off her Pyjamas, silently left the room. Holding his breath, Toby set to work.

She'd woken up at 4 AM and yelled something like:
"Toby, I'm gonna be s-!" After that all he'd heard was the gruesome slopping sound as a huge amount of vomit cascaded from her mouth.

"Y'know, for such a little person you can sure hold a lot of puke!" He told her, walking into the front room. In return Ruthie gave him a weak smile. "Now you stay here while I get you a blanket and a glass of water, okay?" She nodded and lay down on the couch.

"I can't drink from a glass!" Ruthie called after him, Toby chuckled.

"Alright then, I'll get you a cup of water!"

He walked back into the living room and draped the blanket round her shoulders, handing her the water.

"Will you stay with me Toby?" She asked as he turned to leave "Just while I go back to sleep?"

"Of course, Ruthie."

"Don't leave me, it's scary in here!" She whispered as if ghosts were listening.

"There's no need to worry, I'll never leave you..." Then she fell asleep. Toby kissed her head softly then lay on the floor behind the couch.

I won't ever leave you He promised her mentally. NEVER!

"Toby!" Poke...
"Toby!" Poke..
"Tobster, wake the fuck up!" Still no reaction. "Right, then. I guess I'll just have to..." She slapped him, hard, across the back of his head.

"Gaah!" He whisper yelled, looking around frantically. Then his eyes focused on Riley. "Fuck you! Did I fall asleep again?"

"Yup, you're lucky miss didn't catch you. Why are you so tired anyway?" She asked and a slight smile made its way to his lips.

"Ruthie kept me up all night." He told her and Riley turned away in disgust.

So he'd been up all night with his girlfriend? She thought, becoming irrationally angry once again. Unfortunately, Toby seemed to notice her change in mood.

"Something wrong, smiley?" He asked and she sighed inwardly, choosing to ignore him. "Smiley?! What've I done this time?"
No answer...
"All you ever do is ignore me, for fucks sake!" He exclaimed but Riley ignored him once again. After a while Toby began to get desperate for a reaction. He'd like to say it was because he needed her help with the project but the truth was, he just didn't like her ignoring him. Then Toby had a lightbulb moment, he knew exactly how to make her acknowledge his presence...

Toby placed his hand on her inner thigh and let it inch it's way further...further up her led. Riley's head whipped round and she gaped, wide eyed at the cause of her raging hormones.
"Toby...!" She hissed in shock, she'd never, ever been touched like this. He chuckled at her flabbergasted expression and removed his hand.

"Ha! I knew that'd get a reaction!" He told her and she hit his head for the second time. "Shit!" He cussed "you've got quite a hand on you, Smiley!"

So have you! She wanted to tell him, her leg still tingled from his touch. All she said was "I used to box." Toby looked surprised.

"Me too!" Now it was Riley's turn to look surprised. "Why's that so surprising?" He asked her and she shrugged.

"Just 'cause you're always like, the good boy...I guess. Like, the nerd." Toby cracked up at this and earned himself a disapproving glare from the teacher.

"I'm a lot of things, Smiley, but 'good boy' isn't one of them."

"What d'you mean?"

"What do you think I mean?" He asked, not sarcastically.

"I dunno." She mumbled. "But I know that... There's more to you than meets the eye."

"Yeah,well...I could say the same about you." Toby muttered thoughtfully, Riley inclined her head.

"You might be right..." They were both staring at each other intently and Toby had never felt such a strong urge to k-!
Hold up! Toby told himself. I do not want to kiss her...do I?
Then the bell rang and Toby sprinted from the room, well tried to...

"Mr Anderson!" The devil know as Mrs Pearce shouted. "Could you stay behind for a minute?"

"Do I have to?" He whined and the teacher only nodded.

"What do you mean!?"

"I mean exactly what I said. I don't like your attitude and your grades are dropping,what happened to the hard working Toby?"

"Well...let's just say, there's a new sherif in town!" Then he sauntered out the room, smirking.
