30 Days In Rome

Chapter 9

26 more days to go

"Oh my days!" Anabelle squealed loudly as we walked down the hallway on our way to class.

I told her about how I saw Mr Henderson - I mean John last night.

"Did he say anything?" She questioned "Like make a move or something?"

"Nope. He only told me he didn't like the unnecessary formalities and stuff"

"Be careful, okay?" She warned

"What do you mean?"

"I get he's hot and all but he's going to be a priest soon. I don't want you to fall deeply for him then get heartbroken in the end"

"What?" I laughed "I just met him"

"I know that but things happen. He has a charming personality. More than half of the female population in this school swoon over him because of how sweet he is. It isn't going to change the fact that he'll be ordained in a less than a month"

"I know babe. I know"

"Let's talk about something else. I can swear that Cindy feels threatened by you"

I rolled my eyes

"I want nothing to do with that girl. I had to control myself from ripping out her eyes from her sockets last night. She's such an uptight little bitch"

We were so caught up in our conversation that I didn't realize I bumped into someone.

"Excuse you" I said angrily

I immediately regretted it when I saw it was a reverend sister. I was about to say sorry for the mistake I made until she made a rude comment.

"Didn't your mother teach you any manners? Or doesn't decency exist in the white house?"

"Oh no" Anabelle mumbled

I folded my arms and glared at the elderly woman. She did not just go there with me. No one and I mean no one insults my mom directly or indirectly.

"As a matter of fact she did" I responded "You know what else she taught me? To never respect people who don't deserve it like you "

She gasped

''Did you just talk back at me?"

"She didn't mean to sister" Anabelle quickly cut in.

From the tone of Anabelle's voice, she was scared but I couldn't care less

"Yes I did" I said "Or are you turning senile that you couldn't hear me?"

"You are such a rude brat! Disrespect is not tolerated here. You will be reported to the principal"

I took slow intimidating steps towards her.

"Report me to the principal?" I mocked "you're too chicken to deal with me yourself?"

"Please Stop" Anabelle pleaded

"I won't. I'm having so much fun"

"You have two seconds to move away from me!" The woman said

"Or what?" I teased moving even closer to her "you don't scare me"

"What's going on here?" A voice asked. Mr. Henderson came into view

"Good morning sir" Anabelle greeted

"This girl here" the woman started

"Uh uh uh 'this girl' has a name and its Ruby" I corrected
