Trusting You

A third nipple

Back to Rue's POV

After everyone finally finished scrubbing their tongue, we finally settled for pizza and ice-cream. The rate at which we're consuming ice-cream is very alarming but oh well. Blake glared at everyone before he left to his room. He hasn't come out since then. We settled to watch a movie when Tyler finally said what was in all our minds. "Sam, don't you think you should check on your brother?", Sam looked up from her phone at everyone. "Nah, he'll just throw a pillow in my face. Let Rue go", she pointed at me. Everyone agreed as Jess pushed me off the couch. I groaned as I walked over to his room. I knocked three times, no response. I kept knocking till I heard him groan, "Sam you better go before I hit you with a pillow". I chuckled as I knocked again. "Sam if I come to that door, you're dead". I knocked again. He yelled, "Fuck it!". 3, 2, 1. The door pulled open showing a very messy haired Blake. He looked taken aback for a second before he composed himself and cleared his throat, "Oh Rue. Didn't know it was you". I smiled as I helped myself in.

We sat on his bed as I took my time to digest his room. "You want to know what happened right?", He said to me. "What?", I looked confused. "With the whole therapy thing". Oh that. I nodded suddenly shy. "Kiss me", he said looking very serious. "What?", My eyes widened. He started laughing, "Just kidding". He stood up and grabbed my hands, "you can't take a silly joke, Evans?". He pulled me out of his room with just one thought in my head. How did he know my surname?

"We are not watching a scary movie!", I whined. Jack just smiled evilly, "Awwnn is little Rue afraid of ghosts. It's just Bloodburn, it's not all that scary". I glared at him, "It's not about ghosts. I hyperadrenalinate during scary movies", I defended myself. Tyler laughed, "What does that even mean?". Sam just held his shoulders, "Don't get started on the amount of words that Rue uses that don't make sense". Jess yawned, "Can we start the movie already?". Sam whispered to Tyler, "She always dozes off 10 minutes into the movie" "I heard that!". Blake finally walked in with the popcorn bowls.

I held the popcorn bowl close to my chest as I shut my eyes when I felt something scary was about to happen. Omg he's about to kill his mum! I looked at everyone. Jess and Blake were already fast asleep, Sam and Tyler were snuggling up and watching the movie. I don't know how Blake hasn't realized all of this. Jack is no where to be found. I forced my myself to watch the movie. God! He just killed the cop! I suddenly felt something touch my sides, I jumped up and poured the popcorn over the black figure. I screamed and ran to Blake's seat and woke him up. The figure was still crouching. "Blake Blake it's a ghost!". Blake rubbed his eyes as the lights came on. There on the carpet, with a popcorn bowl on his head was Jack. Everyone started laughing as I dug my head in Blake's chest from embarrassment. "Rue, you almost broke my skull!", Jack groaned. "Well you almost bursted my heart!", I retorted back.

Tyler and Blake decided to share Blake's room while we get to stay in Tyler's room. Jack wasn't willing to share with anyone, he even locked his door before we could get a glimpse of his room. Blake laughed, "It's because of all his dirty boxers". Tyler gave one of his shirts to Jess, he was going to give Sam but I quickly snatched it from him and gave Jess instead so Blake wouldn't suspect anything. Like why would another guy give Sam his shirt when her brother is right here? Sam just walked over to his closet and picked whatever shirt she wanted. Blake wouldn't let Tyler give me any of his shirts and insisted that he had enough shirts to go round.

"Mind telling us what happened yesterday after the whole cafeteria thing?", I looked up to see both Sam and Jess's eyes on me. "Nothing happened. He brought me here and I had my bath. He made me omelette then we went to bed. He slept on the couch". Jess chuckled, "At least he didn't ruin the omelette".  Sam kept pushing, "So nothing happened between you guys?". "nothing happened Sam", I looked at her flatly. She groaned, turning the other way. "If you guys didn't kiss, then I have a third nipple", she mumbled before falling asleep. Maybe she does have another nipple.

"Rue, you have to get up. We have classes this morning", Jess kept shaking me awake. I groaned into my pillow, "You know this is why I don't like academically oriented friends". Sam walked into the room all dressed up, "Just shut up and get up". Rude much!

They managed to get me up and we would've made it in time if we didn't have to stop at our dorms because we were all in guy shirts. I walked into my Art class with my head down. "Even if your head was in the ground, you're still late Ms Evans", The art teacher said flatly. Everyone laughed as I took a seat beside Sky. "So you all did extremely well in your last assignments. I was really impressed. I've scored them and I'll hand them over to you now", she started going round passing our sketch pads. When she handed mine to me, I turned to try and sneak a peek at Sky's assignment. He bent it completely out of my view. "Oh come on man. We're more than that", he briefly smiled before turning it over so I could see. It was a drawing of a little boy crouching in a corner and it looked like it was raining. "The rain makes you sad?", I smiled softly. He merely nodded. "Okay listen up everyone! This next assignment is going to be done in twos'. I was too lazy to group you so just group yourself with your seat partners", I glanced at Sky who just kept looking straight ahead. "So you're going to show something that connects you with the other person. Art is all about expression so I want you to get to express yourselves individually yet together. Do you guys get that?". I'm sure no one did but they just didn't say anything. "Good. So the assignment is due for next week. Now you can use the rest of the period to discuss with your partner". Everyone started chit chatting while I just scribbled stuff on my note till Sky cleared his throat. "So what are we doing?", He ran his hand through his hair. "Well I was thinking we could like get to know each other like on a normal level so we can like find out what connects us individually yet together.  I think that's what she said", he just stared at me dryly before nodding briefly. "Yeah sure", he started packing his books. "Where should we meet then?", He said getting up.  "I was thinking maybe the cafe across the campus". "Time?" "Maybe tomorrow after classes". "Great", then he walked away. Well someone's in a hurry.

"You guys have to come watch me", Jace whined in our eyes. "No we don't Jace", Sam said dryly not taking her eyes away from her phone. "Oh come on! Rue, you'll come right?", He held my arms tightly. "Only if Sam and Jess are coming", I smiled as I ate my maltesers. "I hate you guys!", He whined. He turned to Jeff, "You're my brother. You'll obviously come right?". Jeff stopped eating and looked at Jace, "Bro and sit with who? If they're not coming, I'm not coming". "Fuck y'all!", He slammed the table. "Miranda is the only supportive person in my life! And Jess of course but she's not here right now so don't tell her I said that", he blushed shyly. "Anyways, bye losers! I've got practice", he stalked off.

"Miss Rue Evans, please come to the principal's office! Miss Rue Evans, to the principal's office now!", Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at me as I awkwardly walked out. I got to the office and opened the door and I was not expecting this!

"Hey, lovely sister. Guess who got a call from your school saying your hands had a collision with someone's cheek"

"Rue, where did you learn to start throwing punches. Definitely not in my house!"

Oh brother...
