the door .
Mum

as they hit the road. Child it doesn't matter if they like you or not
what matters is you are going there to study. But mum...no buts please
her mum interrupted and drove into the school Cherryland High school was
very spacious and looked so large Ruby wondered if she would be able to
find her way through the buildings OMG! she exclaimed as she widened
her eyes in wonder she came down gave her mum a peck and walked in.
Ruby
went to the registrar get her locker key and went to the hallway traced
hers and as she was walking towards it looking around at Same time she
bumped into a student oh my God am sorry! she said and tried to pick up
her books but the angry girl slapped her are u crazy or what? can't you
just watch your way she said angrily? I'm really sorry miss, and said
the stunned Ruby she obviously didn't see that coming but the girl
wouldn't have it.
Look this school isn't for people like you every single thing about you irritates me she said, pushed her and went her way.
OMG! Haven't even spent an hour here and I'm already feeling rejected she said.
and stood up immediately she realized everyone was staring at her, she quickly opened her locker and dropped her bag picked the books she would need and left the locker room feeling bad. walked into the classroom and saw an empty desk at the front of the class and sat there since she was short sighted she want the best view as not to complicate things. She kept her head down and tears began to flow the embarrassment was just too much for her to bear
what on Earth have I done to deserve all that out there,
She said in thoughts and just then she had a bang on the desk and raised up her head to see the same girl who had slapped her earlier what the heck are you doing on my desk dumb ass she asked in fury bad enough you had to ruin my morning now you sitting right on my desk
before Ruby could give an answer the form master walked in
Hey Patricia sit down that the only available chair in this class room so stop creating a scene he said and Patricia sat down burning in anger.
Classes went fast for Ruby she couldn't even think straight anymore cause her day had been ruined .When it was time for lunch everybody left the classroom for the cafeteria except her she was scared she would land into trouble again so she laid her head on the table lost in thoughts
OMG I don't think I can ever cope here it seems am not welcomed here
just then she heard a bang on her desk raised her head and saw Patricia grinning at her before she could blink her eyes Patricia has poured her soda all over her uniform take that silly that for trying to compete with me she said and walked out of the classroom. Ruby couldn't take it anymore she sat down in tears. mum why did u have to change country, home, school all the time this is just too much what did I ever do I can't even concentrate anymore this is unlike me ..........
Lunch time

and tapped her hello! And she jerked oh oh shit she exclaimed and
everyone laughed, what the heck is wrong with you Ruby are u alright?

Ruby went upstairs that morning and didn't come out till that moment it was already evening and her door was locked she knocked and received no response so she had to call the driver to break there door and saw Ruby lying lifeless on the ground without wasting time Ruby was rushed to the hospital.
Doctor what is wrong with my daughter she asked panicking,
Calm down ma'am your daughter is safe now she took an over dose of sleeping syrup you brought her here on time and am glad to tell you she is safe now it didn't damage her organs .
OMG Ruby why did you do this her mum said lamenting and pacing up and down .
Calm down ma'am Jasmine you can see her now doc said and walked out.
Ruby woke up with a migraine and was just staring into space.
" What am I doing here I just wanted to sleep away and let my family be she thought.
Ruby why did you do that ? He r mum asked as she walked in to the ward .
Are you are doctor ? Why do u derive joy in hurting your parents all the time you lucky you scaled through try attempting sucide and I will make sure you regretted it rubbish she said and left the ward .
" Obviously am not wanted my brother is the star of the family and me worthless I will just keep them on the background for now "
School resumed and Ruby went to school with a different mindset she felt she was worthless and didn't want to associate with any one but they was a new student sitting on Patricia seat next to hers not entirely new she had transferred from Arts to science classes. Lucy was her name she was a cheerful and carefree girl she greeted Ruby as she settled down but Ruby murmured greetings to her she wasn't ready for another drama as she wanted to mind her business this academic session as she was kin on upgrading her grades . And surprisingly Patricia didn't attack Lucy for sitting on her seat she had changed desk and was now sitting with Sam in the next roll rumours had it that they had started dating but Ruby was less concerned she just wanted to be left alone.
Classes went on and soon twas time for lunch and Lucy bought lunch for two and gave a pack of sandwiches to Ruby who was shocked as she had never received any kind gesture since she started schooling there
Um thanks A lot Lucy am glad you thought to get me something makes me feel special in a way. She said and Lucy smiles at her and continued eating .Days passed it ran into weeks and months as Lucy and Ruby became best of friends they literally did everything together wore matching outfits did home work together and Ruby seemed to improve she started to feel accepted and to crown it all Patricia wasn't on her case like twas at first she was focused on her new boyfriend and that was what mattered to her .Ruby was beginning to think all her problems were gone until something happened.
Ruby and Lucy had to share a locker in the hallway for 10 graders cos Lucy was late and Ruby who was obsessed with chocolate had the habit of storing them there one morning Lucy got to school earlier and opened up the locker to get her books for that day's class and saw some Swiss chocolate and decided to take them she took some and stood there eating and Patricia happened to pass by.
OMG is that Swiss chocolate she asked excitedly because she had always had cravings for them and Lucy nodded.
Can I have some pleassssssse! she asked and Lucy without thinking gave Patricia everything remaining and she left happily not knowing it belonged to Ruby.
Ruby came in later and during lunch time she went to the locker to get her chocolate but couldn't find them she searched countless times cos she was sure she left them there but still couldn't find them she went to the class to meet Lucy.
" Lucy please did you kinda take my chocolate ? I can't find them she asked quietly.
What that supposed to mean Ruby are you trying to call me a thief Lucy asked raising her voice and causing a scene right in the class and got everyone's attention.
No no I just want to know so I don't get worried besides we share same space in the hallway Ruby said politely.
Ruby I have always known you to be a snake and nothing more so what if I took your chocolate is this how you gonna embarrass me huh Lucy asked in anger
Come on! Lucy it not like that Ruby said but Lucy wasn't done yet.
You know what Ruby I regretted ever knowing you and been friends with you little wonder why no one wanna be friends with you cos you don't worth it you damn Possessed if you can't see it I can you weren't even glad I stopped low to been friends with a nerd and low life like you I hate you so much rn she said and packed her books and changed desk. Leaving a shocked Ruby standing there in tears.
Uhhh that was so touching Patricia said smilling anyways thanks for the chocolate Ruby I enjoyed em Swiss chocolate taste differently she said and left the class.
Ruby ran out to the field to pour out her emotions OMG I can't believe I would have to go through all this again just when I thought u had passed all and was safe why do this things keep coming my way it just toomuch for me to bear she said as she cried the more just when I thought the best things had started to come my way for the first time I felt loved and now all this.
That evening she refused dinner and couldn't sleep for a sec twas just toomuch for her to bear she wrote" Dr diary my heart is filled with somuch pain and I can't bear it anymore if help dosnt come I will have to take my life cos rn am alone."
Weeks passed and exams were written and Ruby failed she couldn't even concentrate on her exams everything affected her somuch that she couldn't read well and had to repeat grade 10 .she saw her results and kept it in her backpack and walked into the field and sat there.
I failed once dad couldn't even listen to what I had to say now am to repeat the grade and I don't know what his reactions would be I don't know.
I just need peace ,pain reliver ,and strength rn I need to release all the heaviness in my heart and I don't know who to talk too she said in tears just then she heard a voice.
" You can talk to my father he is always ready to listen to you " she turned and saw the most handsome dude she had ever seen all her life.
