More Than Just Friends

Chapter Three: Ruby's Secret

An hour has passed by and Ruby finally had awaken from slumber, but when she woke up she felt something hug her waist while something was tickling her stomach as well...it was Ken! Ruby jumped up but tried not to have him get off while he was sleeping, instead she was trying to find a way to escape until suddenly Ken wakes up and looks at Ruby turning red
"What are you doing!?"
"GAH! Sorry! I just-I saw you asleep and..."
"Wait...wasn't I on the floor?..oh my god! Did we-"
"What!? No!"
Ruby putted on her coat and shoes and went downstairs and was about to leave but Ken ran after her and grabbed her hand
"Wait!"
"What?..."
"Lets...just...pretend it never happened and just keep it a secret!"
"B-but what if--"
Ken puts his finger on her lips and stares at her but in a serious face
"Shhh...just don't tell the others."
Ruby started to turn red and left without saying another word.

The next day, it was the same usual day just like every other day would always be and Ruby was getting ready for school. When she arrived at school she saw Sami, Leo, and Bryan but there was a guy with them as well, Ruby got confused on who he was but she walked up to them and waved
"Hi guys!"
"Hi Ruby! Have you met Ken before?"
"Ummmmmm...."
Bryan went to Ruby and whispered in her ear as she turned red
"Have you two made out yet?"
"S-Shut up!"
"Alright...heh"
Leo started to laugh while Ken stared at Bryan wondering what he whispered to her, Sami got close to Ruby and smirked
"Do you know Ken?"
"Y-Yeah! He's in my class! He helped me with my studies for the test today at his house!"
"OOOOOH DID YOU TWO MAKE OUT!?"
"What the!? No!"
"Mhmmmmm I'm watching you..."
Everyone started to laugh except for Ken, he wasn't really smiling or anything he only had a serious/glaring looking face on him.

Later that day, Ruby was outside with the rest of her class for PE with all the girls. But while she was running and catching up with everyone she fell and got dirt and scratches and cuts all over her arms and legs, Ruby was crying a little but the pain didn't bother her much. The coach had her go to the public showers to get the dirt off her body and to bandage her cuts, she felt embarrassed a bit of going to the showers hoping no one would see her scars on her body but there was no other choice since she had to clean herself off.
When Ruby arrived at the girls showers, no one was in the locker room, she felt relieved so she quickly took off her clothes and wrapped herself in a towel and ran over to the showers..the showers were so clean and looked really neat, when Ruby got in she saw another girl heading to the stall next to her, she started to hesitate and covered herself hoping she wouldn't see her scars but the girl didn't say anything
"Is it your first time here?"
"Ummm....I guess but...I don't normally take showers here..."
"I can tell...don't worry I won't tell!"
"Thanks..what's your name?"
"....someone"
Ruby was confused, all she wanted was to make friends but the girl didn't tell her her name and started to leave and go to the locker room to change. Ten minutes passed by and Ruby was finished bandaging her cuts and getting the dirt off herself until suddenly when she left, Ken ran up to her and hugged her
"Ken...what are you doing?"
"I heard you got cuts all over you and...I got worried..."
"I-I'm fine..I bandaged myself and got the dirt off myself."
"Did you have trouble with your back?"
"Oh god..please don't."
"Hehe I'm kidding! But I'm glad your ok!"
"Me too!"
Ken and Ruby went to class after that but Ruby had forgot her phone in her locker, during class one of the girls that were in the honors class went to take a shower until they found Ruby's phone and started to look through it
"Isn't that the weird nerd Ruby's phone?"
"Shhh...lets see what she's hiding.."
"Oh my god! She has a diary on here!"
"Woah...she has feelings for that one guy Ken? We have got to publish this!"
"Yes! Lets do it!"
