Laying starfished on the new bed, my wet hair splattered on my pillow looking at the ceiling while a random song is on the radio. Today is Sunday, my mom went searching for a place to buy and transform it into a tattoo studio, ruby is probably in church and I finished my room before taking a long shower. It's the perfect moment to overthink everything and feel sorry for myself. I ran to the fridge fetching the homemade ice cream leftover. Crystal is sitting on her little bed cleaning her paws, she glanced at me glaring for the noises I made. Being fourteen means a constant circle of the hunger games. I miss advanced technology and most of all, I missed chilling with my granpa watching sherlock Holmes and trying to solve the case before he did. Now I'm stuck with a tiny TV that has some weird series on. I found the fresh prince of bell air on . Will Smith was really moving it i chuckled to myself. I lost time watching mtv and sketching whatever came to my mind. It was three afternoon and boredom consumed me . I was going to take a nap, but I was interrupted with a fit of knocks at the front door. I quickly ran to the door thinking it was lucille. But I was met with a hyperactive ruby sporting a Cheshire grin. "Tellme you did not just spent the whole day home alone drowning in boredom " her accent always take me by surprise. " Well, i don't know where to go and I really don't want to be lost " i said while entering the house again with her. She held my arm stopping me from moving inside. "Well, it's your lucky day, ruby langenheim will be your guide for today" she told me with a superman tone. I couldn't help myself from becoming an excited puppy jumping up and down. "I have a secret place I claimed mine when I was twelve. I used to spend all summer there. And I won't mind sharing it with my new friend" she winked at me. I was ecsatic she officially announced me her friend . "Now let the party start " she said mocking an American accent. We ran to my now finished room, she liked it. We took the skateboards insisting that she must take the new one for speed. We ride through the roads occassionly challenging each other for who is faster than the other. We ended up squealing because of the rush. Ruby led the way near the beach. It was breathtaking views.

It was a roof of several ports next the beach. I lay my head on the skate looking at the sky. "How is it in that school?" I broke the comfortable silence. She sighted heavily before answering " well, it's a typical middle school /high school. There is popular girls. Rich and Britney Spears clones. There are football players not American football but soccer. There are the nerds and skaters surfers. If you don't belong to those groups you are a loser" she finished. "For a moment there i thought you would say Regina George and it's so fetch " i giggled. "Regina who?" She questioned confused. Shit mean girls were only out in like 2006 I'm so stupid. "Uhh, nothing just an American reference " she seems to believe me. "We should totally nickname each other " i said after a few minutes .she turned toward me while still laying on the roof. "Why" she was so cute when she is confused caramel your being a creep "Because that's what friends do" she nodded. I shot up crossing my legs. She looks atme like I was crazy . "How about I call you double R" she laughed to the point she almost rolled of the roof. I help her balance herself again. " Why you choose double R" i rolled my eyes "Ruby rose? Double R?.it's cool you'll be like a rapper " she frowned a bit "who told you my middle name is rose" fuck.. "Uh your mom mentioned that? " it came as a question more than a statement. " It's not fair. I don't know your middle name or your last" she grumbled. I gave her a grin "My full name is caramel Lilith lake" she nodded. "How about I'll call you ruby rose it's like a singer or an actress name. It's cool" she laughed harder now i'm so happy to hear her so carefree. "Maybe if I became famous I'll call myself ruby rose " this time Itwas my turn to laugh. "Pinky promise? " i held my pinky for her. She rolled her eyes "like that is going to happen " intertwining our pinkies. "You never know ruby rose " i couldn't stop my knowing grin.
We skate back to our street saying our goodbyes. Lucille was preparing dinner with crystal next to her. "Hey mom " "Hey Cara, did you have fun with ruby " she said .I rolled my eyes knowing that she knows it. "So did you find the studio you went for" on cue she start rumbling about her adventure of finding just the perfect place and how she bought it so cheap and all that. She said she'll start working on it after I'll attend school which was Tuesday. We had dinner , me whining about how much I slip today while speaking to her. But she said she knows I can handle it just fine. I'm 21 mentally and she is fourteen so I have to sometimes cover for my mistakes although I really despise lying to her. I was so happy that she accepted my friendship and for now I have to work to gain her trust so she can open up to me.
