❝ You better leave me alone, Jamal. Or Ruby's coming for that ass ❞
Ruby walked inside of Freeridge High school, 20 minutes later. He had a crowd of students behind him, cheering for him. Isabella was one of them.
"ALL HAIL RUBY!" Isabella chanted.
"ALL HAIL RUBY!" the students repeated.
Ruby chuckled and looked over at the girl of his dreams. "Did you come up with that? That shits on my Instagram nonstop."
"I sure did," Isabella said before kissing his cheek. "You deserve it. You took down the big bad wolf!"
Ruby smirked. "I did, huh?"
They all walked to Ruby's locker. Just then, the principal entered the hall and saw Ruby and his crowd of fans. "Excuse me, Martinez."
Ruby looked at the principal. "How may I help you, sir?"
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Of what?"
"All of these students crowding around you," the principal answered. "Is this a gang?"
Isabella stepped forward. "No sir. You see, Ruby takes down gang members, not creates them."
"I don't remember asking you Isabella," the principal spat. Isabella swallowed hard and stepped back. "And it'd be wise for you all to go to class unless you want detention on Saturday."
Nope, no one wanted detention! So everyone ran off to class.
Ruby also tried to sneak away, but the Principal caught him. "Not you, Martinez."
Ruby halted. Shit.
He turned around slowly. "What do you need from me, sir?"
"I need you in my office. Now," the principal demanded. He began walking off. Ruby sucked his teeth and followed behind him.
When they got to the office, Ruby took a seat. "Look, I have a class to get to. I would hate to miss out on quality learning time."
"Is that so?" the principal responded. "Because last time I checked, you were walking into school twenty minutes late."
Ruby shrugged. "I woke up late."
"Yeah, and I'm guessing those other thirty students woke up late too, huh?"
"Is that a trick question?"
The principal pulled out a book. "According to my records, your punctuality has never been a problem. Until today. Isn't that strange?"
Ruby put his hands up defensively. "I plead the fifth."
"Oh, but it is strange. And it can't be a coincidence that this happens AFTER you get into a fight with Cesar."
