Chapter 7 - The Future

"Come on Sapphire," Rose comforted as she pat her friend's head which laid face down on a lunch table. "It's okay, it's not the end of the world."

"What?" Sapphire questioned as she lifted her head up.

"You failing your finals," Rose stated.

"What?" Sapphire repeated as she rubbed her face, "I didn't fail my finals."

"Then why do look so depressed?" Rose asked.

"I'm not depressed, I'm just tired," Sapphire stated.

"Oh, sorry," Rose apologized, "oh how was the skating competition, sorry I couldn't be there."

"Oh it's fine, but the competition went awful I couldn't do anything right," Sapphire replied.

"Oh that sucks," Rose commented, "hey you should go to that party tonight."

"Seriously?" Sapphire questioned, "the last thing I need on a week like this is a party."

"Hey, it's just a recommendation," Rose stated, "thought you might need something relaxing, but knowing you that's probably the last thing you'll do for relaxation."

"I don't need to relax, the competition and the finals are in the past it happened, and it's irrelevant now," Sapphire stated.

"We'll do you wanna-" Rose started.

"No!" Sapphire interrupted. She straighten up in her seat as she pulled out her phone. "I've gotta go I've got class in a couple of minutes."

"Oh alright," Rose said as her and Sapphire walk away in opposite directions, "bye!"

"Goodbye," Sapphire shouted as she waved. She turned around just in time to get smack into and fall back. Sapphire rubbed her forehead as she looked up to see Ruby standing in front of her rubbing her face.

"What?" Ruby asked pulling her hands away from her face, she could have sworn she heard Sapphire say something.

"Nothing," Sapphire mumbled as she helped herself up.

"I'm sorry," Ruby apologized.

"Whatever," Sapphire sneered as she turned and walked away.

'Oh man please don't say it,' Ruby thought to herself.

"It's irrelevant," Sapphire stated as she walked away.

"Sapphire wait!" Ruby exclaimed lunging forward to grab Sapphire arm. Instead Ruby stepped on Sapphire skirt and causing the both of them to fall over.

Sapphire threw her arms out in the hopes to catch herself but instead caught somebody else's lunch dumping in on both of them.

Ruby quickly scrambled to get off of the fallen gem. "Oh man I'm so sorry," Ruby apologized kneeling next to Sapphire. She watched as Sapphire took a long deep breath before quietly getting up and walking away.

"Why why why why?" Sapphire repeated to herself as she cleaned her clothes in a sink. "I might as well as run back to my dorm, I'm already late for class." Sapphire threw her skirt down as she walked out of the bathroom. However before she could walk out, the doorway was blocked by Ruby walking in.

"Sapphire!" Ruby exclaimed, "please wait!"

Sapphire took a step back and crossed her arms over her chest, "make it quick."

"I uh..." Ruby stammered.

Sapphire sighed dropping her arms to her side, "you can tell me as I walk to my dorm."
