Guess what. .....
             2 years later.
                Ruby's pov.
       
It's been two years since I first met caramel and her mom.and both became my own little bless. Caramel to begin with was like a guardian angel came all the way from America for me. She is everything a person can wish for,  friendly, understanding, lovely, crazy and funny but most importantly, creative.
She has such a large imagination that makes me always eager to listen to her next chapter or next product. She is wise, sometime acts like she is from a different time. Her light caramel eyes never seas to astonish me.
Since the first time she helped me when they shaved my eyebrows, the first time she avenged one of my biggest bullies, it just gaved me this warm feeling of home.
Even though sometimes it gets difficult to deal with my own thoughts. Once the dark thoughts came to me, i run as fast as I can to her;and she is always there to make them go away whether she was aware of it or not. She believes in me more than I believe in myself.
And here I am alive, and unconditionally irrevocabulary in love with my best friend.

Waiting for her to come to the beach with me because tomorrow is our first day in school as high school students ,it will be the last morning spending it on the beach.
"Catch!" As soon as I heard that familiar soprano voice, I braced myself for the human coala that will jump in my back.

Over this two years, I grew taller every day meanwhile caramel stayed 1.55m.which I think is so cute. I felt her arms around my neck I held her by her thighs to support her weight .
"Morning pixie " smirking cause I know how this nickname annoy her. As I predicted she pouted putting her small head on my shoulder, I felt a shiver down my spine when her breath fanned my neck, if only she knows what she do to me.
"Rubyyyy, dont call me that. I'm not short, you just too tall " she pinched my arm still whining, I love it when she do those childish faces to me.
"Guess what! !" She jumped from my back and run in front of me. Jumping up and down, her eyes are gleaming in the sun. I concentrated on capturing every bit of this moment and keep it in the back of my mind. "What?"
She slumb her shoulder mumbling "you didn't even guess " i rolled my eyes but laugh after.

"Okeyyy, is it umm you're finally surfing with me? " She sighted
And shook her head .
"No, I'm too sweet , I'll be the shark's desert. " I bend my body from how hard i laugh same old same excuses.
"I will get my first tattoo " she sang.
"Aunt lucy finally gave in to those puppy dog eyes? "  I stated
She nodded with a sweet smile that she only do when she is mischievous.
"You know I can convince aunt Katy to let you have a tattoo with me if you want?" She said with the sweetest voice ever. I've always enjoyed caramel painting with a sharpie on my arms. Sometimes go far to color it . I promised myself to remember all those shapes and colours to do them when I grew up. "I hope you are good at convincing because mom will need more pursuing " she scoffed her plump lips broke into a smirk uh oh.
______€€€€€€€€€____________

I can't believe she actually succeeded in convincing mom to let me have a matching tattoo with Cara, she got a beautiful unicorn on her left thigh just as I have mine. It hurt a little but caramel seemed Okey with it.
Aunt lucille is a very skilled tattoo artist, it explains why she became so popular in the tattoo world. She opened three others studios across Australia and recruit young artists which she trains them herself.
"So , tomorrow is the big day huh " Caramel broke the comfortable silence still staring at the sky from our usual spot.
"Yeah, going back to hell and start the battle of daily survival " i answered sarcastically.
She tsks at me " I'm not talking about school dummass, I'm talking about your first boxing competition "
Oh, I totally forgot about that. Since my fifteenth birthday, caramel and lucille gaved me a year payed boxing lessons, as a birthday gift. I was ecsatic and I instantly fell in love with the sport.

Now after two years of training, I slowly can feel I'm getting stronger, and all that anger that was bottled up inside me,boxing helped getting it off my chest. I can defend myself and my best friend, I'm not that scrawny scared freak like before. But sometimes, my anxiety surfaces and all this confidence I built suddenly fell down. But there is always caramel for me to help. And I promise myself to never lose her." Yeah, I'm very excited to kick some ass! " Caramel laughs was the only thing I can hear.

Sooooooooooo, a big time skip huh. Tell me what you think.
