Ruby POV:

A tutor!? I can't believe Rose did this to the poor girl. Rose is trying to help me for so long put getting me a tutor was not and still isn't a good idea. This girl she will freak out if...if she only knew what kind of... a monster I am. 'NO I AM NOT A MONSTER' I told myself. I was walking in the empty corridors away from my tutor. What is Rose expecting I can't be friend with her I can't be friend even with myself. 

Sapphire POV:

 Ruby walked away from me 'Should I follow her?' I asked myself. I decided to let her be and ask her after school when are going to be our studies. I heard the bell rang which meant that class has finished. Lucky it was lunch break so I went to my locker. I couldn't stop thinking about Ruby. She was so nice, calm and had that big smile on her face when she came in Rose's office and then in a blink of an eye she went aggressive. It was like...she had two sides of herself. 

" HEYO Sapph." Amethyst yelled while Lapis was walking beside her. " Oh hey Amethyst, Lapis." I said " Wanna go to the store to buy something to eat?" she said. There was a store near the school building. " Sure but I bet it's full of students right now." It was obvious " Well who cares. Let's go." She grab me and started to drag  me to the store while Lapis was giggling behind. 

While we were walking out of the school I noticed a familiar face. Ruby was sitting on the grass   under a big three.  I saw that there was something like box near her ' Maybe it's her lunch box.'. She had her eyes closed and looked really calm but at the same time her face showed worry. ' I really want to go to her but that will upset my friends.' 

When we arrived at the store we saw that it is full of students " Just as I told you." I smirked at Amethyst " Ok, ok don't worry I have a plan." Lapis and I looked at her confused " Uhm...What kind of plan?" Lapis asked a little scared " Just tell me what you want to eat?". I asked for one of those little sandwiches and Lapis wanted a donut. "OK. I will be right back. Go sit on that bench." Amethyst pointed at a wooden bench near the school gates. "Ok." Lapis and I said together. 

It was really awkward no one was talking it was this strange silence between friends that you don't know what to say. I am not to best person to tell jokes Amethyst is more into this things. " So how is your love live going?" Lapis broke the silence " Like my social live  in other words 'none'." It was silent again for a moment then " How about you?" I asked " Well since my last relationship I don't think I will be getting in  another soon." Lapis said of course as her friend I knew she was into girls and that didn't bother me nor Amethyst. "Oh...Sorry." I felt bad for Lapis her last relationship didn't went well. Me and Amethyst tried to support her but she refused our help. But now is better I hope. "HEYOO Why is the silence." we both were relieved when Amethyst  came. 

We finished eating and headed to our next class. 

Time skip~

I finished todays classes and now I am searching for Ruby. She was nowhere to be found I even went to that three that she was sitting at lunch. Then an idea came in my mind. I started to rush to Rose's office. I was about to knock on the door when I heard yelling. I couldn't stop myself and listened to the conversation. " Rose please I beg of you....DON"T PUT ME ANOTHER TUTOR!" that sounded like Ruby " Listen Ru-" " I won't listen! You know what I can do, you know that I can't be myself and still you are putting the girl to be my tutor. I can't handle it you-" Ruby was cut off  " Ruby! I know that this is hard for you I know about your 'documentary' too and that is why I put Sapphire. Please believe me when I say that she is different." it was silent for a moment " Rose it doesn't matter if she is different because I am not different. What happened to the other tutor will happen again it don't matter what is the other person." she sounded very upset and sad. ' I want to help her, I want to try to restore this smile on her face...I want her to be my friend.'

I don't understand why do I feel suddenly attached by this girl. Something in me wanted to help her badly. But why? 

Suddenly the door opened and I was prepared to hit the ground but I was caught by someone. It felt pretty nice and warm. It was like I am in a very warm bed. I looked up and saw Ruby serious face piercing through my gaze. " Ah...umm...Sorry." I said " Yeah I am sorry too." then she looked at Rose and left the room. " Can you please talk to her Sapphire?" Rose asked politely " Is this an order?" I asked she sighed " No more like a friend request." she said and I nodded. I started to walk to Ruby.

' I will help her!'

Ruby POV:

I was drowning in my thoughts when I felt a cold arm on my shoulder. I turned fast and grabbed their wrist. When I looked at the person I realised that it was...

" Umm...Hi...again." said Sapphire.

" What do you want?" I asked her and tightened my grid.

" Well since we are going to be friends...agr Let's try to get along." She finished and cracked a pained smile.

" Look I know you were assigned to this. That's why I don't want you to be my friend." I said and started to walk away again.

" But...but I want to be your friend!" she said that made turn towards her. " Why just...don't give me..a-and yourself a chance?" I was speechless. I warned her once, I warned her twice but she still wants to be my friend.

" When?" I asked. " 'When' what?" she was confused. " When are we going to meet for the studies?" I saw a bright smile cross her face. " Well we finished school if you want we cans tart from today?" I looked her confused " Really? That fast." I asked " Yes. Is it fine by you?" she tilted her head a little ' Ahh...she is so cute.' I thought then mentally slapped myself " Uhh...Yes it's fine. Where do you want to meet?" I asked " I was about to ask you the same." she looked at me questioned. I sighed " Well If you want we can go in my place." I scratched the back of my neck while looking at the ground ' Why am I so nervous?'  " Yeah I am fine let's go." Sapphire said and got closer to me. " Heh yeah let's go."
