I go to a tree. It has pink cherry blossoms always falling. It's amazing how one blossom tree can have so many blossoms falling, but plenty left for the rest of the day. I sit down and have a nap. I wake up 2 hours later and Garroth is standing in front of me. "Have a good nap?" He laughs. I laugh with him. He sits next to me. "So, I know we've only known each other for a month but, wanna hang out at sometime together?" I look down. "Whoever put you up to this tell them, stop." He looks at me. "I'm not kidding. I'm serious." I look at him. He looks dead serious. Great Ruby. You messed up with him. "Oh, yeah. Sure! I'd love to!" A boy comes over to us. "HEY. YOU!" He points at me. I'm use to people doing this. "Yes?" He walks closer. "Stay away from this boy!" He points at Garroth. "Umm. I came to her. She had nothing to do with this." Garroth gets up. I stand too. "So. What's your name, boy?" Garroth gets closer to him. "Jake. Jake Burns." Jake pushes me against the tree. "Stay away from him, or else. You got it?" Garroth pulls him off and throws him. "Don't touch her!" He lashes at Jake. Jake gives me a death glare, running off. Another boy comes over. He has brown hair and light blue eyes. He is wearing a green and black striped shirt. "Hey Garroth." He sits in front of us. "Hey Laurence." Laurence looks at me. "Who's she?" He says. "Oh. I'm Ruby." He's just as gorgeous at Garroth. "Well, hello Ruby! I'm Laurence." He smiles. Us three talk for a while. "So, Laurence. I haven't seen you around school." He laughs a little. "Yeah. I've been busy with Soccer and homework. I'm the Soccer team's captain!" He says proudly. Garroth rolls his eyes. "What, Garroth?" Garroth sits there, then says. "Oh nothing. Just that it's not a big achievement that you're the Soccer Team's captain." They both stand up. I sit there watching them argue. Another boy comes over. He laughs. "You guys can't go a DAY without fighting about something." He has black hair and we can only see one eye. He has a mask on too. Garroth and Laurence look at him in the middle of arguing. The boy walks over to me. "Who are you?" He doesn't say it nice but, he doesn't say it meanly. "I'm Ruby.. You?"
"Hey. My name's Zane." Before Zane walks away he says to me, "Be careful with these two. They can get SUPER competitive." He walks away. Garroth and Laurence go back to arguing. I get up and walk towards them. I giggle. "You guys, don't get to-" Someone touched my butt! I turn around and slap them across the face. "OW!" He yelps. Garroth and Laurence stop fighting and look at the guy. "HEY!" I yell. He fell over on the ground when I slapped him. He gets up. "What?" The guys stand behind me. "Why did you touch my butt!?" I say angry. The guys are NOT impressed. They step forwards. "I-I..." The guys walk towards him. Garroth says "Huh?! Why did you?! She's not property y'know!." He is cornered against the tree by Laurence and Garroth. I sigh. "Guys. Stop." They step back behind me. "So. Who are you?" He seems nervous but, confident. "Oh, my name is Travis, beautiful." He kisses my hand. I stand there and I can feel the guys glaring at Travis. "Oh, umm. Hi Travis. My name is Ruby." The guys try to not freak out on Travis right now. "Well. I'll see you later." He says smiling and he blows a kiss at me and walks away. "Can you believe Travis, Garroth!" Laurence says angry. "I know right! Touching a girls butt who he didn't even know!" Garroth follows up. I sit against the tree with my arms wrapped around my legs. They look at me. I'm sad. Their expressions changed from an angry to a concerned expression. "What's wrong?" Garroth says as they sit. "Nothing." They look at each other. The blossoms are still falling. They come to the sides of  They sit next to me and we talk more. Laurence on my right and Garroth on my left.
