I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “You should break up with me and start dating him instead,” Ruby said as she suddenly appeared and wrapped me in a quick hug before sitting down.

Max asked me that question because it was our time to apply for college, as we had recently just graduated from High School. Max: Rubster? Are you dead? Give me a treat tomorrow and then die. Rubber! Ruby. Rubbery. Robbery. I replied instantly. Ruby: Dummy, I ain't dead, yet! I went hiking with Pearl today. There's no network in the hilly areas. You know that, right?

I said, not reading too much meaning into it. “What about Anaya?” I asked, as I hadn’t seen my baby around. “Well, you stayed out too late so I had to put her to sleep,” Ruby explained. “Oh thank you Ruby, for always…” “You don’t need to thank me. Just keep bringing juicy gist for me,” she stated dramatically. “What are you guys talking about?” Max came into the kitchen. I looked at Ruby with a frown.

Charles "Are you being serious? Tunde Ibrahim has got Ruby?" Max yelled, with his eyes widening in their sockets. He had this look on his face like he couldn't believe what just came out of my mouth. A gasp left Lolita's mouth, and her expression mirrored Max's own. Her baby had woken up, as if sensing his mother was in the state of shock.

Jesus, babe, I'm so - " "Max asked me to be his girl, and I said yes," Ruby rushed out, interrupting me. For a second, I pulled the phone from my face and counted to ten. As much as I loved my friend, she had the tendency to overreact. To make a crater out of an ant hill. "You still there?" It was distant, but I heard it.

“Maximum will speak to you directly in a moment. The room is clean for approximately eleven minutes. After that the probability of external detection rises.” He left through the far door.
