More Than Just Friends

Chapter Four: Ruby's Secret Revealed

The next day, Ruby was getting ready for school, it was obvious she was happy since it was a Friday but she got to tired to stay happy about it even though waking up early was a pain for her.
When Ruby went to school she went in the classroom and everyone stayed quiet and started to stare at her when she walked in, except for Ken, Ken was drawing a picture of an eevee on a separate sheet of paper as a decoration for his binder. Ruby started to feel a bit uncomfortable with everyone staring at her so she went up to Ken and looked at his drawing
"Your drawing is very artistic Ken!"
"Heh heh, thanks!"
"Yeah! I usually draw anime characters too..although I have a bit of trouble tracing."
"I can teach you if you want!"
"Sure!"
Class was about to start and Ruby quickly sat down to her desk and took out her notebook.
During the day, Sami, Leo, and Bryan all went to the field instead of the playground to where they always hang out at, when Ruby finally found them Sami hugged her tight and stared at her
"So..is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"You having feelings for Ken!"
"W-what!? N-no!"
"Come on, Ruby! You know you doooo..."
"I-I don't!"
Ruby started to turn red and covered her face with her sweater and stayed quiet while they all talked about other things, while Ruby was laughing and talking to them something had spot the corner of her eye...it was Ken. He was sitting in the bench sketching his drawings of the eevee he was working on in class, surely Ruby wanted to see how his drawing would look like but she didn't want to make it noticeable enough that people would think she really does like Ken.
During that day, it was time for everyone to head home, but while Ruby was walking home she seemed to forget something as she checked her pockets she realized she had forgotten her phone in the girls locker room two days ago when she had cuts and bruises all over her! Ruby quickly ran back to the school building until she suddenly bumped into someone, she fell on the ground when she ran into the person in front of her but as she looked up it was Ken again, he reached out for his hand and gave a sweet smile
"You ok?"
"Ow...y-yeah..I'm fine!"
She took out her hand and got up while she was trying to look at the side of her to see if the gate was still open but trying not to have Ken notice
"What's the hurry, if I may ask?"
"U-umm...I left my phone in the girls locker room two days ago, I didn't notice until now..."
"Oh..well, don't worry I'll help you find it!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah!"
"Thank you!"
Ruby jumped up and hugged him tight as they both ran inside and went searching for her phone. An hour passed and it was already dark, the sky was midnight blue and the stars were sparkling like tiny little sparks shining bright, Ruby finally had found her phone and thy both walked back home
"Thank god my phone is safe! Would've been a real nightmare if it was lost!"
"You might wanna check if any of your social medias has changed..."
"Y-yeah, alright."
She took out her phone and checked her websites and medias, until suddenly...a link was published on her Facebook, it was her diary app that she writes everyday! Ruby started to hesitate and hid it from Ken but he was leaning onto her to see if her phone was ok that he saw her diary and read it
"Uh...Ruby? Is this true...?"
"Ugh! I know it was stupid of me to leave my phone there and now you know I like you ok! So just....I just-...ugh.."
Ruby ran off and went to go home, when she arrived at the house she locked the door and ran to her room crying a bit, but when Ruby left Ken's eyes widened and felt down a bit..
"Ruby...I was going to say....if...the girls publishing your diary was true...."
