*Ruby's POV*
I shut the door behind me as I leave Tobias in there. I walk into Louisa's room once again. She is sitting on her bed with air pods in her ears. She is staring at her phone. "Hey." She says as her eyes are still locked on her damn phone. I walk furiously towards her and grab her phone. "Hey!" She says angrily. "What happened between you and Tobias? What was he doing here?" I ask angrily. I mean I am not jealous or anything but, what was he doing here? With her? Alone. "You should ask him. Now give me that back!" She says as she tries to grab her phone back. "You know! I am sure of it! What was he doing with you here alone?" I ask more angrily. "I told you ask him. The boy tried to kiss me okay! Now fuck off." She says angrily as she grabs her phone. I let her take it from the complete shook. He tried to kiss her? Does he like her? Is that why he hangs out with me a lot? To be with my sister?! I walk out of the room with eyes full of tears. I get into my room. "Ruby?" He says as I enter the room. I walk straight to my bathroom. I lock the door after me. "Ruby? Are you okay?" He says with a soft knock. I just let the tears fall on my cheeks in silent. I didn't want him to hear me. To ask me what was wrong. He is just a lying asshole.
"Ruby, honey. Let me in!" I hear Ash's voice as he knocks repeatedly on the bathroom's door. I get up from the floor and wipe my tears with my hands. I wash my face. I don't look like I was crying. I turn to the door and open it. Ash is standing there. My eyes catch Tobias. He is standing behind Ash. He looks concerned. "Are you okay, honey? What took you so long?" Ash asks with smile. "It is my stomach. That's all." I lie nervously. Ash smiles and hugs me softly. "Okay, hope you get better. We have to leave." He says as we pull back from the hug. I walk them out the house as Ash said good night to both mom and dad and Peter. So did Tobias. "See you guys tomorrow." I say as they get into the car. "Drive safe." I say as I shut the door behind Tobias. I kinda did it because I knew that Tobias didn't buy the reason that I said upstairs. He knew I was lying. "Okay." He says with a smile. I don't wanna return the smile but I do to make him believe that nothing was wrong. That I was okay, even though I wasn't. I watch them as they drive away. I go back into the house. "Come on, Ruby. Dinner's ready." I hear mom says as I head to the stairs. "I am not hungry." I say as I head upstairs to my room. I shut the door behind me. I throw myself on my bed as sleep takes advantage.
I wake up to my phone's alarm. I don't wanna go to school today. I don't wanna meet him. I grumble as I get out of bed. I take a quick shower and dry my hair. I pull it into a perfect bun. I put on my grey oversized sweater along with my boyfriend jeans. I grab my white vans and I sit on the bed to put them on. I get up and grab my bag and head downstairs. I enter the kitchen and my usual morning is there. My mother who is in her grey suit this morning is running around the kitchen in her high heels to fix Peter's lunch. My father is reading the morning newspaper and drinking his black usual coffee. My little brother is eating his cereal in his usual uniform. My sister is sitting with her head buried into the phone with her breakfast resting untouched in front of her. I grab a chair and sit around the table. "Good morning." Peter says softly. "Good morning." I say in a low voice. I just grab my sandwich and place it into a bag and slide it into my bag do my mother won't give me a talk about me not eating.
"Have a good day girls." Mom says as we get out of the car. I see Tobias beside his car. I just ignore him and walk directly into the room. I open my locker. "Hey there. I am so sorry about yesterday." I hear a strong voice saying. I close my locker to meet Albert's baby face. His long curly hair is pulled to the back with a hair band. He is wearing a yellow sweater along with black sweatpants. He smiles a sweet smile. I smile back at him. "It is okay. I forgive you. You're forgiven." I say in a deep voice. He laughs. "So? Can we wall to class, together?" He asks as he gives me a bow. "Oh yes, sir." I say in a British accent. We walk to class as we laugh.
