**************************
The day both dramatic and overwhelming I slammed the door behind me. Going straight into the huge bathroom I ran the water deciding to take a bath. I needed to chill. Like totally.I was pissed and I don't know? Happy? Emotional?The queen bitch, Victoria had completely ruined my day when everything was just under control, while Brook on the other hand seemed nice, the first person who was ever actually nice to me in school.
'How would you know, if you've never talked with others, Ruby?'
Just shut up head, just fucking shut up for once in for all.Still in the bath trying to convince my self that Brook is going to be a nice girl, I sigh but can't help to get the words off my mind. "She can hurt you pretty bad if she wants to new girl." What did she mean? I held my breath and went down under the water and stayed still thinking, and convincing myself give to just give it a try, maybe she could be a good friend after all and there's no harm in trying is there? Probably.
"How long are you gonna take Ruby?!?" Cole. The last person I want to see right now. I had slammed the door on his face with tears running down my cheeks completely ignoring him. I didn't want to talk about what happened with him at least not now. He can go right up to the bitch and open his mouth with all the vile words you can ever imagine of. Call Cole overprotective and all but without him I wouldn't dare to go to school.
"Are you gonna even get out? Don't avoid me." Great. He's gonna make me speak isn't he. He's got the gene of dad, stubborn. Completely stubborn and manipulative and caring.
"I'm done!" I yell putting my clothes on.
"What do you want?" I spit, slamming the door behind me.
"You know exactly what."
"So, you want to to go and buy a packet of condoms?Done." I reply. Note the sarcasm. I would never do that in a million years.
"Woah! Ruby. Chill out. "
I sigh. Giving up that he's not gonna leave me alone until I tell him the truth.
"About today..." I go on tell him the long, petrifying story and my voice starts to crack.
Completing the story, I have a lump on my throat and it's burning, along with the tears that have completely drenched my face.
Cole pulled me into a hug and I couldn't stop my tears to roll down. Cole had a soft look on his face but somewhere behind you could see anger burning.
"It's okay Ruby. I'll talk to Brook to assure nothing happens to you if I'm not around. Okay? And forget what Victoria said to you. I'll deal with her." His jaw clenched.
"Please don't say anything to Victoria, she's just going to think I can be picked on and she's not gonna stop."
Cole hesitated but replied with a nod. "See you at dinner then." He left the room giving me a warm smile.Wow. My brother knows me well than I do myself. Doesn't he?
Grabbing my bag I decide to go through what we had done today, trying to get my mind off things. Today was basically nothing much. Each period we just introduced each other which I basically sucked at. Andd let's not talk about that.
Realizing there is nothing for school tomorrow, I went downstairs and got a warm welcome by Bru. He's our doggie by the way. Playing around and fooling around for awhile mum called us in for dinner. If only things were perfect this way.
"So, darling how was your day?" Mum starts with a glimpse of hope in her eyes.
"It was fine, really." I reply, my voice low and soft.
"Okay.." I knew she was not convinced by it. "Cole! How was yours?"
"It was fine. The schools huge by the way." That's why I like my brother. He doesn't tend to mention everything and just summarizes it.
"Well there's a whole new year ahead for you both." Dad. I smile at him for not letting mum go on.
Devouring on the dinner, I head back into the room . I sigh when I take a look at it. I seriously need to make my room over this weekend. Everything is still not unpacked. It's empty.Ting* ting*
My phone goes off. I swear to god if this is a spam message...
But to my surprise its Brook. How did she get my number?
"Hey Ruby I gave you number to Brook I found her through couple of my friends." Oh so that's how. Thanks Cole, for not asking me.
"Fine." I reply.'Hey it's Brook remember me? By the way if you don't mind can we hang out after school? There is so many things you need to know.'
Weird!
'Sure. Thank you by the way.'
'No need to thank me your brother has already thanked me several times. But great! We're gonna have some quality time tomorrow then. ;)'
'Okay. Good night. :)'
This girl sure does know how to make friends.
But I still fear about what the Queen Bitch had stated before. I just really really hope Brook's gonna be a nice person. I hope it's not a mistake. I really hope so.
