Glistening in the Moonlight

Chapter Three

"Oh Tom, you really don't have to!" exclaimed Ruby, grabbing the dozen red roses from his hand.

"Ruby, darling, it's our four months anniversary I had to splurge just for you. The florist gave me a discount when he knew it was for my special girl."

"Ohh Tom, am I really all yours?" She flashed a crystal clear smile and then their lips met and they became one connected soul.

 "You have my whole heart Ruby, you always will." 

Clapping aroused from the lunch tables, as everyone worshiped their relationship. In fact everyone at Westridge High knew it was bound to happen one day or another, the two sweetest and most attractive students here. 

When Ruby and Tom announced their relationship four months ago, it was the greatest news ever, every student longed to come to school after that; it was a free romance show. 

Ruby had auburn eyes, and dark chocolate waves. On top of that, she had what a girl would call the "ideal" body; with a thin waist and thick curves. But it was her smile; shining from miles away that could catch anyone from anywhere. 

Of course, they were a few people who hated the couple out of pure jealousy, one of them being the famous Beatrice Windsor. 

Now Beatrice Windsor was not always like this, she used to be the most beloved girl in school. Only when Ruby arrived this year, did people notice the real Beatrice. She was not kind, sweet, or gentle. Instead, they finally saw her as the conniving bitch she always was. Beatrice had everything; student council head, friends, and of course Tom Barton. But when Ruby came it was all gone. She cut her long raven black hair into a bob and still wears black to this day. 

"What an amazing love story, so so happy. How cute, two lovebirds." She was standing on the peeling table alone sadistically commenting. All eyes were on her. 

"Just because Tom disposed of you when he met Ruby, doesn't mean you should treat him with such disrespect," 

"It's not fair to torment Ruby just because you're unhappy,"

And so the protests started, everyone was on Tom and Ruby's side.

Headmaster Rose looked out the window, yet another fight between Beatrice and Ruby; when was this ever going to stop? He could remember the first one clear as day.
