O - "Ruby, we're here"
R - "Ok. Thank you for the ride. See you around, Otis."
Ruby POV
We waved at each other until I closed the door behind me. I walked in to mother laying on the couch, fast asleep. I got a glass of water and sat at the table to think. I thought about when I could see my dad in hospital or if he'll ever come home again. After a while, I had to go upstairs just in case mother woke up. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself. I was pretty. But now matter how hot I was, I was in a ton of pain. Tears began flowing down my face. I couldn't stop them. It just happened.
"Ruby? Ruby, are you home?" My mother was calling me. I couldn't let her see me like this. "Yes, Mum." That was all I could get out before I heard her walk away. By then, my tears had stopped. All I could do was sleep. I ran to my bed and closed my eyes. I instantly saw a boy wearing a familiar jacket. White, blue and red. Otis? He turned to face me and confirmed himself. He smiled at me, I smiled to myself. This isn't real. I can't think about Sex Kid like this. It was a one-night stand. That's it. He disappeared from my thoughts and I fell asleep.
Otis POV
Within 5 minutes of walking through my door, my mum is already upset. She found out about the clinic. Now, I don't know what to do. I hurt Maeve, Ola, my mum. I feel bad for Ruby though. Her dad is really sick and I can see that she is actually a good person when she puts her character aside. But she is extremely bitchy to Maeve and others at school. I wanted to get to know her better but I doubt she'd be open to tell me much. I really enjoyed being with her today. But it was a one time thing. Unless, she needs therapy which I doubt she ever will.
The Next Day
Me, Eric and Rahim walk towards our locker and in the direction of Ruby and Anwar. Me and Ruby share a glance and a slight smile as she walks by. I felt something in my stomach. It was familiar but entirely new. I wanted to ask Eric but he was already rushing to get to Swing Band practice. I wanted to push the feeling aside but something made it stay. Hopefully it's gone before last period. If I see Ruby right now, I don't know what will happen to my heart. It makes no sense.
Skip to last period
Thank God. The feeling is gone. I still don't know what it was. Until Ruby walked into class. Her usual spot was taken. She usually made them leave her seat immediately. But she didn't. She sat at the only empty chair. The one next to me.
R - "Hi."
O - "Hey, Ruby."
She looks straight into my eyes and suddenly they came back. Please go away.
Ruby POV
Otis Milburn. One glance makes my heart flutter. Most boys don't get that far. It's only Sex Kid. What's happening? I like him but I can't. He's not popular. I shouldn't know who he is. But I do know him. Shit.
Throughout the class, we locked eyes are least 6 times. Each time that feeling hit me. It added up. I swear I almost wanted to lean over and kiss him. I couldn't though. He would've pushed me away.
I really want to spend more time with him. Maybe if I am around him enough I can get him to like me back. But he's too in love in Maeve. I guess I'll see how it goes.
Otis POV
As the school bell rang, me and Ruby walked beside each other. As nervous as I was, I managed out the words "Hey, Ruby."
R - "Hi, Otis."
O - "I was thinking maybe we could hang out again, maybe not when we both hungover?"
R - "Oh. I'll text you later."
O - "Ok, have a great day!"
Great. I need to able to see if I like her. Because if I don't realize is it soon enough than I'll never get the chance.
