(Ruby's POV)
That was the most disgusting thing I've witnessed all day. I couldn't even tell if she was into it or not, but I'm pretty sure she was. I don't even think I can finish my sandwich. That table was already grossing me out before she sat down at it. The way she pressed up against him and just threw her mouth against his, I don't even know why I was hoping to run into her. Part of me is confused though, she seemed like she could be smart? Or maybe she's normal and I'm just stupid. Either way, I'm not going to associate myself with her if she's all over some jock like that.
"You okay Ruby? You legit look like you're gonna throw up."
I turn back to Amethyst and her crew. She saw me wondering around alone and invited me to sit with her, it was a nice gesture that I appreciated. She was pretty chill once we stared talking more too.
"Yeah, sorry. I was just looking at that table over there, is it always like that?"
"Always, it's practically slut central over there. Rich girls and their rich boyfriends, they're always on top of each other"
"Gross."
"Yeah, some people don't ever know when it's the right time to keep it on the down low."
I stared at her and her girlfriend, she had introduced herself to me as Peridot. Now that I think about it, you might not even really be able to tell that they were dating if they never specified, but that made them more respectable, relatable even.
"Do you know anything about the girl in blue? I think her name is Sapphire, the one who literally just made out with that guy?" I questioned.
"Oh do I!" She responded. "It's all just rumors but they're pretty good. Her mom is a ultra successful model, has her own clothes line and everything. I heard that she's kind of a bitch. Her dad owns some sort of house building company. She has like, four siblings. That guy Cody who she just performed mouth to mouth with is one of the most popular guys here, apparently he sells weed, but I'm not sure. A lot of people think she's just dating him for status, but that's how it is with most of them, so I wouldn't be surprised. She's in all gifted classes though, usually those kids are a bunch of nerds like Peri over here."
"Hey!" Peridot chirps in.
"Kidding, kidding, but anyways. You may have also noticed her hair. Nobody has ever seen her eyes before. Apparently, not even Cody. Tons of people gossip about what she's hiding under there. I don't think she's hiding anything except for how thirsty for attention she is. A lot of people are with me on it, it's just another hint of mystery about her, which makes people curious, which gives her more friends."
"Woah." I responded. I definitely can see where Amethyst was coming in on the whole publicity stunt thing. It's actually a pretty smart thing to do on Sapphire's behalf. I guess the best thing for me to do is to keep my distance.
The bells rings, calling the end of lunch. I wave goodbye to the table and I make my way to class. I have PE next, I head towards the gym. I see Sapphire walk in. Shit. After she walks in, about twenty more girls follow. We all make our way to the locker room. There are only three stalls, to which three girls have already ran into and locked the door. The rest of us are stuck changing in the open. Oh well. I look at my body and then at the girls around me, all of us look very different, so being self-conscious here would be a waste. I don't realize it, but simply out of curiosity, my eyes slide over to Sapphire's body. It's like a work of art. She has a sandy complexion, I can't really tell what her ethnicity is. Maybe I should have asked Amethyst that too, that might be an odd question though. As her shirt came off I saw the curve of her hips. Her thighs were just big enough to touch each other, but they weren't massive. Her waist cinched inwards, which gave her a beautiful hourglass figure. Freckles dotted her her shoulders and thighs. When her shirt went over her head, I hoped it would pull her hair up with it, but it didn't. Once she pulls her shirt off, her face is angled right into my direction, my face gets warm. I hate that hair, I can never tell if she's looking at or past me, I always feel like she could be judging me and I wouldn't even know. As I take my own shirt off, she kicks a pair of wedged shoes off of her feet, I realize she's very close to my height, maybe only about an inch taller. She didn't seem like the short type. I notice how quickly everyone is moving compared to me, I get myself back together, throw on my gym clothes, and then head out.
I think we're playing tennis today, I notice immediately that we have separate coaches, but I'm not sure if we'll be competing against each other or not. I'm starting to get upset with myself though. I'm practically reminding myself that I don't like this girl. Why am I so subconsciously invested in her? I have no interest in getting involved with her, or her shitty group. There's just some element of mystery that draws me into her. I tell myself that's it most likely just her hair, which Amethyst has clarified is basically just a popularity scam, which I believe, and I know she's practically a slut, and I know she's straight, and I know I'd never want a girl like that to be mine, which I repeat to myself multiple times. I would never want a girl like that. I would never want a girl like that. I probably just think she's hot. I don't want a girl like that. She's just a random girl who sits next to me in science class. There's no need for me to get all worked up about her. The class progresses and I involve myself more in the game, which actually ends up being pretty fun. The thought of Sapphire slips my mind.
