2.Trust - The Plan by Summer Blue (best classic books of all time txt) 📖

I woke up before the alarm even rang. I was tired. 2 weeks had gone since the broke up and it was hard not to think about it. Everday I woke up, I regretted waking up. Sleeping is the only way that you could forget everything. Forget the problems, forget the worries and forget Conor. Talking about Conor, I never saw Conor once. He never came to school. Rick and Matt said he was ill but I knew they were lying. Something might have happened. I tried not to care but I really wanted to know. It wasn't because of me was it? There was a knock on my door.
'Come in.' I said while moving the duvet off me.
'Hey darling.' It was Mum.
'Hey.' I mumbled trying not to look at her. Ever since mum came back from her course abroad, I really wanted to tell her about Conor. But I couldn't. We have been having some money problems too and I couldn't make her be reminded of my dad. And what would happen if I do tell her? Nothing. Conor is out of my life. Theres nothing to worry about is there?
'Darling, ever since I came back, you've been acting weird.' She said while sitting near my bed. 'Did something happen?' Her face was filled with worry.
'Mum, theres nothing to worry about. Its just the exams are coming close and I'm kinda nervous.' I said trying to reassure her.
'Ruby, you'll ace it. Anyway, you got my genes so I think you will find the test very easy.' I smiled.
'Theres something I need to tell you.' Mum said. Her face showed that it was something bad.
'What?'
'Well, I've been having money problems.' She said slowly looking through the window.
'What do you mean?' I said confused by what she said.
'Well, I only went to this abroad thing because we needed more money and the money they give here is too less.'
'Mum, how come you didn't tell me?' I said worriedly. This is such a big thing and Mum didnt even tell me a word.
'Well, how could I? When I came back, you looked so worried about something and me saying that we can't afford to live here can make it worser.' She said quickly.
'What? We can't afford to live here. But I'm sure theres enough money-'
'There isn't darling. If I don't get enough money, I might need to sell the house.'
I stood up and walked to the window. What can I do? How can we get such a big problem? And how can Mum hide this? But there wasn't time to get mad. I had to get money. I've lived in this house since I was little. Theres so much memories here. I don't want no stranger living in this house.
'I know. I could get a saturday job.' I said to Mum.
'But there won't be much time-'
'Mum, trust me. I'll get money as fast as I can. Just don't sell the house.'
'But-'
'Please Mum.' I said making a sad face. She nodded.
She kissed me on my head and went downstairs.
I sighed while getting ready for school. I had to work out what I need to do. How can I get money. I'll ask Cam and Josh. They might know. Now I had to go to school like its a normal day. I sighed remembering the last few days have been hell in school. Everyone knew about our break up. It was horrible. They kept on giving me sympethic looks. Guys stayed away from me because they know that if they go out with me, there will be a chance that Conor might hurt them. And girls patted me trying to say 'never give up' but deep inside are happy that Conor is single again. I hate it but It'll be gone in a few months. And I'm Ruby Williams. I'm not afraid of anyone and I have my own way in everything. I wore blue jeans and a 'Live Love Life' shirt to show everyone in school that I don't care. To know that I wasn't going to give up on life like some girls. When I saw Conor with that girl, my world ended but not anymore. I looked at myself in the mirror. My smiled fell when I saw the word 'love' on my shirt. A tear fell down my cheek. I miss him. I miss him so much.
Beep Beep, the alarm clock brought me back to real life. I wiped the tear away and forced a smile. I can do this. I can do this. This will be my mantra now. I can do this. I can do this.
I headed off to school.

'Ronnie Marvis.'
'Here.'
I was in English and Mrs Rain was doing the register. 'Ruby Williams.'
'Here.' I said. She gave me a smile before continuing the register. AARRGH! Now the teachers are feeling sorry for me.
'So any plans for the weekend?' Cam said who was sitting next to me. She's been very supportive about the break up and helped me through it. When I told her about Conor and me, she told me she was really surprised. She thought Conor loved me. That suprised me.
I looked behind to see Josh doodling on his English book. Josh helped me through it too. I didn't tell Josh in details unless he gets too mad at Conor and the last thing I want is Josh and Conor to hate eachother, 'Nope, what about you?' I said to Josh and Cam.
'Might go Cinema to watch the new movie that is out.' Josh said. Before I could ask what movie, Mrs Rain interrupted.
'Right class, do the worksheet and answer the questions.' She said while sitting in her chair reading her routine magazine.
Rick and Matt came into class, late as usual. Mrs Rain was too busy looking at her magazine to notice them. Its been awkward between me and Rick. I didn't know if I should talk to him or not. Was he allowed to talk to me? But he smiled at me in the corridor and said hi sometimes. I guess thats it.

It was end of class and we were all getting up to go. Everyone went but Mrs Rain stopped me. Cam and Josh looked curious.
'You two could go.' Mrs Rain said to Cam and Josh. I looked at her curiously. Cam and Josh went giving me the 'What have you done?' look. Did something bad happen? Mrs never tells you to wait after class unless you've done something stupid.
'Mrs Rain, am I in trouble or something because If I am, I didn't do it.' I said worriedly. She smiled while sitting on her desk.
'No, its not that. I need to ask you something.' She said while fiddling with the pen in her hand.
'What?'
'Well, its really hard to say this and I've heard that you and Conor have broken up so its going to be double hard about what I need to ask you to do.'
'Me and Conor have broken up? What has that got to go with this?' I said. What is this teacher talking about?
'Well, you see.' She took a deep breath before starting. 'Conor hasn't came to school for weeks and the exams are approaching. His sister Mrs Robert is looking for a tutor.' She looked at me. I really didn't like where this is going.
'Mrs Robert personally asked for you to tutor him.' She said slowly. I gasped. Cassie wants me to tutor my ex? No way, I hate him and more importantly, hes my ex! I said this to Mrs Rain.
'You don't understand Ruby. Tutoring could help your points in Exams.'
'No Mrs Rain, you dont understand. I hate Conor. He treated me bad and seeing him again isn't even the last thing in the world I want to do. Nevermind, tutoring him.'
'Well, you haven't let me finished. Ruby, Mrs Robert is paying you for this. And when I say pay, I mean big pay.'
'I thought you knew me Mrs-' I stopped. Did she just say that Cassie is going to pay? This could help. If I could get money, there won't be money problems at home. And mum doesn't need to go abroad anymore. I really do need the money. I sighed. I hate to do it but i have to do it.
'Okay, fine.' I said sadly.
'And she might help to fund the school swimming pool. And we really need the money.'
I said nothing.
'Great, I'll phone her myself.' She said getting up from the desk.
'And can you tell her something for me?' I said opening the door to go.
'What?' She said frowning.
'Tell her, I am going to tutor him my way.' I said before leaving the class.

'What? Your not serious are you?' Cam and Josh said in unison. I told them about my new tutoring job. We were in my room. It was going to be hard to explain to them that I am tutoring my ex. The same ex who cheated on me and the same ex who I used to love.
'I have to.' I said.
Cam laughed. 'Is this a joke? Do you know what that jerk did to you? He hurt you. He hurt you bad.' Her face hardened.
'Yes but-'
'Instead of hurting him, your helping him? Ruby, your better than this.' Josh said angrilly.
I sighed. It was harder to explain to these guys.
'Look, me and my mum might need to sell our house and live in a dampy apartment. My mum is crushed inside because she
can't even do anything. And when I get the chance to get the house back, I will do it. Do you understand?' I said confidently eventhough I wasn't really sure inside. They nodded.
'You know..' Cam said, 'We can help you get money-'
'No
