Ruby's Pov

I was so sad dad was going through all that because of me but I was happy too. Because it was the first time he hadn't scolded me.

"Dinner was great Uncle Frank" I cheered as I opened the fridge for a bottle of water.
"Thanks dear, please don't scare us like that again okay " he warned.
"Alright... Alright" I gave up.
"Who was that boy you were with outside the house" he asked.

Oh God, I totally forgot about Jerrod, aw poor dude. I couldn't even tell him thanks and I was feeling really bad.
I hear Uncle Frank clear his throat and I snap out of my thoughts.

"mmm, it's like this.... I sneaked out for a walk and I got lost and I met him and he helped me get home... Yeah that... Simple. " I managed to say, a bit shy though.
"Girlie I just asked a question, why are you shy..." he teased.
"I'm just feeling kinda bad, I couldn't officially thank him because you called me to come in and I.... errmm... don't have his.... errm number " I stattered.
Oh shit, why I'm I talking like a dumbass? Truthfully I'm not like this.... I mean this shy so I don't understand. I'm really getting embarrassed and I thank God I'm not fair else it would clearly drawn on my face.
"Oh okay" he said giving me this annoying smile.
"Goodnight then" I hurried out the kitchen before he could say anything else.

I get to my room and lock the door hoping no one will come and bother me. I don't know what is wrong but I keep thinking about him. So bad that I don't  even feel like sleeping. I toss and turn in bed till I start encouraging myself I would see him again before sleep comes my way, and that's around 12 am.

Jerrod's Pov

I woke up very early around 4am thinking about her. My night was one of the restless nights I'd ever had. I just felt so angry because I thought she didn't care. She didn't ask any important question about me, I know it's not a big deal but I'm just annoyed with her.

Today is going to be so boring. Mum's an air hostess and she's not home most of the time. She left yesterday and  she is going to be back in three days. I'm now all alone in this big house. Ken and Jay aren't coming around because they were hanging around with their girlfriends.

I broke up with mine because she liked nagging and being bossy. I couldn't take it so I had to call it off. I rolled my eyes at the thought of her. And i am so bored and lonely now that I wanted to die. Especially when thoughts of Ruby keep passing  through my mind and her face flashes whenever I close my eyes.
I sigh thinking of what to do.

The day passed so slowly, I slept and ate  and slept and ate till it was late. I couldn't wait for school tomorrow.
I just got happy when I thought of school. With that, I kept smiling and drifted of to sleep.

Ruby's pov

It's  my first day in my new school. Dad's already settled everything with the principal.
I'm walking with the school map trying to find my locker and class. It's not that hard to find, I put some stuff in my locker and head towards room 323. I get there pretty quick feeling kinda nervous with all eyes on me and sounds of boys whistling as I enter. It gets really annoying sometimes but I have to endure.

There's no teacher in the class, I look around for an empty desk and spot one besides one blonde girl. I walk over to her and ask if I can join her, she smiles widely and takes her bag from there for me to sit.

"Hey, I'm Anna" she says sounding like the blonde bitches I knew.
"Ruby" I reply with a small smile.
She takes my bag and starts going through my stuff and I'm like WHAT THE FUCK?!!!... but I just ignore her because there are just books in them.

"Ruby?... " I hear a familiar voice say. I turn slowly and guess who it is. This wide smile just plastered on my face like I just made it to heaven and I jump up.
" hey Jerrod, I'm sorry I couldn't thank you. I know I wasn't nice to you. I'm sorry and I mean it " I say, a bit shy and I really meant it.
He just hugs me for some seconds and whispers, "I missed you".

Oh my God, what did he just say. I moved in his arms and he let go. Oh shit, I shouldn't have moved, I frowned as I scolded myself.
"hey you guys know each other?" Anna asked.
"Yeah we childhood friends from new York and she moved here now" he lied, smiling widely.
"is it true" the bitch asked.
I gave her a what the fuck's your problem look. I stood quietly and replied. "yeah true" and she sat down humming a familiar hip hop tune.
This girl is a great bitch and I don't think I can stand her. Everything about her was so off. Her smile, voice, tonation, how she walks and even how she wrote. She was really endowed with all the bitch features. Yeah, I can tell you that.

A man in his mid 40's walked in. And the whole class was quiet. It was so peaceful and I loved the teacher for that. He had a tag with the name John Glover.
"Oh so we have a new girl here" he said pointing at me.
"yeah and jerrod has started doing his thing" Anna interrupted Mr Glover.
I looked back at Jerrod who was sitting at the last desk with his friends and gave him a small smile.
"It's alright, let's start today's lesson" he said, smiling friendly at me. I just nodded.

His class was very cool, he made sure everyone understood what had being taught and I loved him for that. I walk to my locker for one of my books for homework.
"You know you have to be careful of Jerrod " I hear some one say but not Anna's voice. I turn around and no one is there. WOW!
