Ruby “It is just a rumour, but it seems Bryan Lockwood is a suspect in Maddison’s case. Someone saw him being questioned.” Abby looked my way after blurting out her statement in the middle of the Avengers movie we were watching. “I always knew that guy was suspicious,” Jake added and I shifted on my seat, my mind finally touring towards the one thing I had been trying not to think about. Bryan Lockwood said he will punish me. No, he promised he would do it. And, that's a grandly messed up statement. “Do you guys think he killed that first girl? Uh… Melissa?” I asked my friends. “Melinda. It is very possible,” Jake replied to my question after relaxing his narrowed eyes. A sigh escaped me and I crossed my legs. “It doesn’t make sense. If he is a killer or what have you, why is he roaming the corridors of our school? Now that I think of it, when he was arrested for the first incident, he was too calm for someone who was supposedly being arrested for murder.” “What is going o

Ruby" So..." The cop seated in front of us dipped the lollipop into his mouth as he studied the pictures closely. "You are saying..." A pop sound followed, and I ground my lips. "You are saying this is not you?""That's what I am saying.""But this is your face," he stated the obvious and then looked up at Abby and I. "What exactly is the matter? Did someone leak your nudes? Did you send them to someone? You can tell me. I know teens do crazy things sometimes."Too tired to raise my voice, I sighed, then gently replied, "I have never sent anyone my nudes, and not once have I uploaded such a picture of myself on the internet.""She doesn't even take normal, everyday pictures," Abby added to buttress my point." Exactly. This is clearly a case of cyberbullying." "And who would want to bully you by uploading fake pictures of you?" Only one person came to mind. The man lowered his eyes and watched my expression closely. "You know who it is, don't you?" "I have a guess." His brows arched

Adonis She must have thought I drugged her. It wouldn't surprise me if she slaps me with that accusation when she wakes up. But then, it's not my fault she lacked so much sleep that my very reliable sleep-inducer could not help but knock her out so fast. After settling on the little space left on her bed, I took a second to study her relaxed face. The things I heard about her in the corridors of the school were enough to tell me why she was so pale. And that made me wonder who Ruby offended that he or she would think it was necessary to release such provocating images. I sighed hard. Trying to figure that out was another issue on its own. A small smile found its way to my lips and my right hand attempted to reach out for the large mass of her shiny, nice scented, black hair that scattered all over her pillow. I quickly pulled back. I shouldn't be getting attached to her. I should not try to befriend her. But still, I need to protect her. And to do that, I need to be close

RubyI never thought it was possible for one to feel greatly at peace after sleeping. And I don't know if it is sensible to say that the sleep I just had was too sweet. My eyes were still shut because I wanted to go back into that slumber world and just dream away.But Abby's and Jake's voices kept interrupting my attempt, so I gave up. But my eyes stayed closed."I know you are awake, Ruby. I saw your hand move." Abby's stern voice made me smile inwardly.Then, I recalled the man that was with me before I fell asleep. Desperate to check if he was still in the room, I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the ceiling. Before I could turn my face to the side, two peering faces hovered over me and I wore a pout on my lips in reaction."Good to see you looking like yourself, Ruby," Abby commented while Jake helped me sit up. "Hmm." I ran my hands through my hair as I tried to stifle a loud yawn. "For how long was I asleep?""Dude, I have no idea. I am just glad you have got your

RubyThree days later, the school was wearing a different look in preparation for Maddison's memorial. I actually didn't think my mother would approach the principal to express her displeasure, but she did. And the principal who we hardly see around listened to my mother.Investigations were put on hold and no classes were held after eleven o'clock. And that was weird because you'd expect that there would be no class on a day like this.But then, I am glad the memorial service gets to happen. It is the least that could be done for the departed soul.Since Abby and I are part of the school decorating team, we were assigned to give a different touch to the open grounds behind our school.The view is quite nice. One would be able to see the city ahead at night and that guarantees a beautiful view. "Is that a piano?" Abby queried as she got off the ladder that she had earlier climbed so that she could put up the banner made for the occasion.I looked behind me and behold, a grand piano w

RubyWith fear within me, I walked toward my Mom who was still trying to decipher the issue on ground. Everywhere was already chaotic as murmurs filled the air and all eyes fell on me. But that didn't bother me. The woman in front of me is more important."Mom.." I carefully called after I found my stance in front of her."What is going on, Ruby? What is this?" She pushed the paper in her hand toward my face and I sighed. I didn't want her to find out in such a way.In fact, I didn't want her to find out at all."Mom...""What is this supposed to be?" Her forehead creased as she took another unbelieving look at the contents of the flier. "A naked you?" "I-""This is not how you look naked," she protested, her frown getting deeper. "I am sure of it.""You know what I look like naked?""I am your mother, of course, I do. That is not the point here. " She quickly changed the topic before I could ask the question that instantly entered my mind. "Why is this happening, Ruby? Is somethin

Ruby"Is that so?" I heard my Dad calmly yet authoritatively ask. He then took a deep sigh and shifted in the leather seat of the BMW model he had gotten the previous year. "Good. At least we know who the traitor is."My head turned to the side and my eyes captured the entrance to our house. My mind then traveled to the unexpected turn of events, playing right from the moment my parents hinted that they had something planned for me. True to her word, Mom took me to the closest mall and had me try gown after gown without slipping a word about what was going on.After choosing a red, low turtle neck, knee length, and a smooth-feeling gown that Abby would call sexy, Mom dragged me to a beauty salon and made sure I sat through the whole process.Trust me, I hated every moment.The fact that I had to sit for so long, the incessant chattering around me, the hands in my hair, the eyes staring at my face, I hated it all because I felt uneasy.But the result, I like. In Mom's words, I look l

Ruby"What?"The murmurs increased as the woman's statement made no sense as seconds passed.My father, Dominic Powers, is the father of her child?The aged man that was querying the teary woman looked at my Dad who was sipping wine from the glass cup in his hand as if a woman didn't just accuse him of something outrageous, something my mother mustn't hear. "Are you certain of what you are saying, woman?" the elderly man asked again and the woman nodded so firmly, my heart broke in reaction.Just when I was about to walk up to my father and ask him if it was true, he resumed his majestic steps and walked to where the crowd was. After pushing his way through and having his steps stop just in front of the fuming woman, his hands went into his pockets."Dominic Powers?" The tone of his voice and his question killed the noise in the hall and made my curiosity rise even more. "Yes, that man wants to ruin my daughter's life."I scoffed unbelievably. What was that? Does she even know the p

RubyI don't remember a time when I was so tense. It was as though I was about to step onto a huge stage to face a large and intimidating crowd. I felt like I was about to do something that would ridicule me.But, my father's words at the party came to me and that reminder lashed at the ridiculous thoughts I was having.Clutching hard, the handle of my personalized tote bag that Abby made for me for last year's Christmas, I let out a huge puff of air and resumed my intent to walk past the glass entrance of the school building."Hello there."My chest banged hard at that voice, my whole body felt so strange, like it was hypnotised."Mr. Klaus," I carefully said as I turned my head slightly to face the tall man who was dressed like he came out of a fashion magazine. Well, he always dresses like that. He might as well be on every cover of magazines women love to feast their eyes on. "How are you doing?" he asked. "Uh?" I blinked hard after I realised that I was already picturing him i

Ruby"Ruby Powers, are you planning to stand there all day?" Mrs. Cook's firm voice whipped me out of my temporary trance.I was still finding it hard to get that Adonis man out of my head."Oh..." My eyes met the multiple eyes staring at me. " I am sorry I am late, " I hurriedly said before she decides to give me an F-minus for lack of morals."Just go and have your seat."My head ducked a bit as I walked towards the only available desk which was way at the back, but luckily behind Jake's.After I settled, Jake's face literally almost smeared against mine. "How are you doing?" he whispered and his eyes narrowed as though daring me to lie."We'll talk later, Jake." I briefly looked ahead. "Mrs. Cook mustn't be given a reason to deduct non-existent marks."Jake smiled, nodded, and shifted properly to face the ongoing class. But as he turned, I noticed the large bandage that secured a spot on his right jaw and I wondered if he got injured somewhere.Well, I'll just add that to a list o
