"There's one word: distraction. I don't want anything to divert me from my goals. I want to excel and absorb all the knowledge the world has to offer. Currently, I simply don't have time for anything else," Ruby expressed firmly.Luke's voice softened as he asked, "Even if you fall for someone?"Ruby chuckled, finding his question peculiar. "You're asking some strange questions today, Luke.""Just doing what I fear," he replied with a chuckle. "But please, answer honestly.""Hmm," Ruby pondered for a moment. "I hope I don't fall for someone too soon. I know myself, and I know I can easily get distracted. You're aware of my weakness for romance novels. But I genuinely don't want to become one of those girls whose lives revolve solely around their significant others."Luke picked up on her underlying concerns. "You're afraid that if you do fall in love, your life might start revolving around your partner."Ruby pursed her lips together, contemplating his words. "Maybe. I don't want to d

"Today is the day Caden Miller takes his last breath!" Ruby exclaimed, her voice dripping with contempt, as she stormed through the crowded corridor, causing heads to turn and whispers to spread. The students watched her in awe, some even recognizing her as the girl from the recent Instagram prank video that had gone viral among the Junior Class. Laughter followed in her wake, but Ruby paid no heed to the onlookers. Her sole focus was finding the person responsible for her seething anger.Luke, panting to keep up with her determined pace, huffed from behind, attempting to reason with her. "Ruby, I know I promised to stand by your side in all your ventures, but I didn't expect one of them to involve ending up in jail."Ignoring his remark, Ruby continued striding with purpose, scanning the campus in search of Caden. The disapproving stares and mocking glances she received from her peers only fueled the fire of fury within her. Her anger had reached its peak, and she declared with a tou

Luke couldn't help but dwell on Ruby's recent overreaction. He was genuinely concerned for her, and it infuriated him to witness his classmates snickering as they passed by. However, this was nothing new. Ruby had earned a reputation for her short temper, and her academic prowess often made her appear arrogant and aloof. But Luke knew the truth. Behind her fiery exterior, Ruby possessed a gentle and caring heart. She had a knack for kindness and had an uncanny ability to choose the perfect gifts for others. Once you earned a place in her heart, she would cherish and treasure you. While Ruby may not give much thought to others' opinions, Luke felt a strong desire to protect her from any potential harm that could arise due to her behavior.Determined to address the situation, Luke made up his mind to have a conversation with Ruby as soon as possible. The chalk make a squeaky sounds against the board. Luke was compelled to cover his ears. The sound was just too annoying. "Who's going

She splashed the cool water onto her face, hoping it would help alleviate the lingering warmth in her cheeks. Taking a deep breath, Ruby attempted to calm herself down."It's not a big deal, Ruby," she muttered to her reflection, trying to reassure herself. "He only called you Darling." But deep down, she couldn't shake off the confusion and frustration. Just a few days ago, he had fat-shamed her, and now he was using endearing nicknames. It was baffling and contradictory.Gazing at her reflection, she groaned, struggling to make sense of it all. "What does it even mean?" she questioned herself. The sudden shift in his behavior left her puzzled and uneasy. She wasn't sure how to interpret his actions, and the conflicting emotions within her were difficult to handle.Realizing she had spent enough time contemplating in the bathroom, Ruby decided to return to her previous activities, hunger pangs reminding her of her need for sustenance. However, as she reached for the door, her arm was

"Is he sick?" Luke asked, tossing another empty box into the storage room."Who?" Ruby inquired, confused by Luke's question."Mr. Grey eyes," Luke clarified.Ruby shrugged nonchalantly. "How should I know?""There's definitely something off about him. He's actually helping us clean up this mess!" Luke exclaimed, clearly taken aback by Caden's unexpected participation.Ruby chose not to respond and instead joined Luke in carrying another heavy box back to the room.After a few moments of working in silence, Luke broke the silence. "I'm going to ask him.""Why?" Ruby grabbed his arm, her curiosity piqued. "What's with the sudden interest?"Luke sighed, revealing his motive. "I found out today that he's the captain of the football team. It wouldn't hurt to be friends with him, right?"Ruby felt a pang of disappointment at Luke's words, causing her to release her grip on the box. Unaware of the impending danger, Luke's feet ended up getting crushed under the weight of the box, and he let

Monday arrived sooner than Ruby would have liked. Fortunately, she had spent her weekend with her sister, indulging in their favorite guilty pleasure—binge-watching Gossip Girl and engaging in endless chatter about trivial matters. It was a blissful escape, allowing her to temporarily forget the challenges of being away from her family and adjusting to a new school. Yet, with the start of a new week, reality swiftly reminded her of its presence.Ruby received a summons from Mrs. Cooper, and her heart sank. The news of an incident in the canteen had already reached her ears, and she braced herself for the consequences. However, this time Mrs. Cooper decided to give her a stern warning, allowing her to escape with just a warning. The phrase "misbehavior isn't tolerated here" echoed in her mind, and Ruby couldn't help but wonder about the principal's own teenage days. There was a mischievous glint in Mrs. Cooper's eyes whenever she heard of pranks played on Mr. Smith, hinting at a rebell

After an exhilarating hour of watching the intense football match, Ruby felt a mixture of exhaustion and exhilaration. As a mere spectator, the energy and excitement from the game had somehow drained her. She found herself thoroughly entertained by Luke's impressive goals, while also smirking at Caden's occasional skillful moves.Relieved that she had managed to dodge any stray balls that came her way, Ruby was thankful that the only casualty of the game was Joan, one of the cheerleaders, who had injured her arm. Although Ruby sympathized with Joan's misfortune, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that she had avoided a similar fate due to her quick reflexes.Throughout the game, Ruby had barely managed to read a few pages of the book she had borrowed from the library. The spark of excitement that had ignited within her while watching the match made it impossible for her to concentrate on the pages. She was captivated by the sheer passion and intensity of the sport, finally u

"I can't believe I have to spend three hours like this," Ruby murmured under her breath, her lips downturned. She had a sinking feeling that she would come to regret her decision to come to the movie.Caden, with his intentional choice, had taken a seat right beside her. The seating arrangement was as follows: Daniel, Joan, Olivia, Florence, Caden, Ruby, and Luke at the corner. They had bought popcorn buckets and drinks, but Florence had already finished hers even before the movie began. She snatched Daniel's bucket with a disdainful scoff and remained silent throughout.For Ruby, the experience was far from enjoyable. They laughed at the jokes delivered by the actors, but the romantic scenes were particularly challenging for her to endure. Caden's constant gaze in her direction made her heart race, and she struggled to resist the temptation to look back at him, almost failing multiple times.During the intermission, most of them left to grab another round of popcorn, fortunately incl
