Josh called me again. I didn't know that I was staring at Conor. I quickly blushed.
'What happened to Cam?' Josh asked. There was concern in his voice. I smiled. Josh and Cam make a great couple and I hope it all works out.
'Well?' Josh said. He was sitting 2 seats back from my seat.
'Her mum called.' I said. He nodded. I looked behind Josh to see Rick and Josh. They were doing their work. Surprising.
Rick saw me and smiled. I smiled back. Rick has changed. When he made Mr Child lose his Job, I was going to hate him forever. But when he apologised, I knew he meant it. I looked back at the front.
Okay, what theme are there in Romeo and Juliet. Theres obviously love. And forbidden. I wrote this down and it instantly remind me of Conor. I'm kind of forbidden from him. But I wouldn't compare myself to Juliet and Conor won't certainly compare his self for Romeo. Its weird.
'Right class, Can you-' Mrs Rain was interruped my a late comer. But I've never seen him before. He was hot let me tell you that.
If Cam was here she would have said he was gorgeous. He is. I looked over at the mysterious guy, and for the first time realised how striking he was. The light streaming in from the window coloured his hair a striking brown and glanced off his high cheekbones and jutting jawbone. Long lashes framed his forest green eyes that gazed into nothingness. He was a bad boy. I could see it from a mile. But his forest eyes showed that he had some innocence in him. He was wearing a leather jacket that covered his maroon shirt. He had black jeans on that were baggy in a good sort of way. He wasn't shy at all. He walked into class like he owned it. He gave Mrs Rain a paper that must have the reason to why he was late. Miss Rain investigated the paper. Well who wouldn't? He might have wrote it his self.
'Okay, Jack. Sit next wherever you want.' He obviously sat next to me because there was only one seat. He winked and smiled like I was a close friend of his.
'Before I was interrupted..' Mrs Said while looking at Jack like the rest of the class. Jack just gave a apologetic smile.
'There is the book of Romeo and Juliet on your desk. You are allowed to talk, but quietly. Read the book and fill in the worksheet.' And with that she sat on the desk and started fliking through a magazine that had some hot Romeos in it.
'Hey.' That was Jack. He had a sexy scottish accent. I couldn't help smiling.
'Hi.' He then started reading the book so I thought the conversation was finished but he then put his book down and started staring at me.
'How come I haven't seen you about?' He said.
'I didn't come yesterday. How come I haven't seen you about?' I said trying to turn the question back to him.
He smiled and said, 'I'm new here. Just moved from scotland but I fit in like any other person.'
I put my eyebrow up and said 'Yeah, you look like an american and you talk like an american.' I said.
He laughed. A cute laugh.
Chapter 13 - Conors P.O.V
Look at him. He thinks that he can walk into this class like he is in charge. I frowned. He thinks that he can steal my crush. No way.
I was looking at Jack. I've heard about him. He is a bad boy of all bad boys. But I don't think he is as bad as us.
He was sitting there laughing with Ruby. My Ruby. Why did she let him sit there when on the first day, she didn't let me sit with her? I thought she hated bad guys and Jack is bad. Am I poisonous to her? Ruby laughed and they high fived. I was so angry that my pen snapped into 2.
'You okay man?' said Josh. He was sitting next to me. He is a cool dude.
'Yeah, does Ruby know that dude?' He looked at where I was looking at.
'Nope, why?' He said while giving me another pen. I tried to not look at his face. He must have been seen my angry face.
'Just asking.' I went back on my phone.
Josh gave me a note. I raised my eyebrow.
'Its from Matt.' He said while handing me the note.
I looked back to see Matt pointing at the paper in my hand and mouthing 'read it'.
I read the note.
Don't worry. Shes yours.
- Matt.
I looked at him with a confused look on my face. Then I remember he was talking about Ruby. How did he know that I like her?
Is it that obvious? I scrunched the paper and put it in my pocket. I hope what Matt said was right.
Ruby started laughing. The laughing that makes me feel great. But he was making her laugh. A sting of jealousy went through me.
I was angry.
'So you finally did it!' I said excitedly. I was in the canteen on the table. I said bye to Jack after lesson. Hes really funny but thats it really. Hes funny and sweet at the same. But I don't feel anything for him. But I know some girls who are perfect for him. Like Stacey who is half Scotland and is really funny and pretty. But I'm not a matchmaker. I should be.
'Yeah, it all happened so fast.' Said Josh. He was blushing. Blushing!
'What happened? Tell me from the first part!'
'Gosh, Ruby change the subject or I'll have to tell you in details.' We both laughed and started eating.
Josh looked at me. But when I looked back at him, he looked away.
'Ok, whats up?' I said.
'Well..... Nevermind.' I knew he really wanted to tell me.
'Just tell me.' I said gettng really unpatient.
'Well, I was sitting next to Conor.' He said slowly and quietly. 'Conor kept on staring at you and Jack.'
'What? What kind of stare?'
'Well, I'm not really sure but-'
'Just tell me Josh.' I nearly shouted.
'He was jealous.' He said.
I stared at him. Waiting for him to take the words back but he just ate his pasta quietly. Did he just say Conor was jealous? Of me?
'Wait, what did you say?'
'He was jealous.' He said trying to say it tenderly.
I laughed sadly. 'He hates me. He thinks I am an idiot.' I said trying to convince Josh and myself.
'Ruby....'
'Look, you know what my mum said about rich dudes?' I said to him. I told Josh and Cam a while ago. It was my dads anniversary and I ended up crying and I blurted it all out.
'Yeah Ruby. But he likes you.' If I was someone else, I would have blushed. But I'm Ruby Williams. A girl whos dad left her because he was blind from money. I couldn't be with someone so similar to my dad. Maybe Josh got this wrong. Its not just the money, its the way Conor acts. His brothers are great but Conor has the anger and attitude like my dad. Its scary.
Josh came onto my side of the table and gave quick hug. 'Its going to be okay. He can't force you to be with him.'
I was still staring at the place where Josh was. I had to stop this. If Josh finds out that I like Conor back, he would tell me to go ahead but I know he won't trust Conor. No one does. I remember the night my mum told to never trust the rich. I never knew I would meet someone rich and I thought it would be easy to keep this promise. I was wrong.
'Ruby, you there?'
I clicked back on. 'Sorry.' I breathed in and then out. 'Okay, lets just forget about this.'
'Look, Rubes I shouldn't have told you this. I never knew you would respond like this.'
'Its fine. Lets just forget this ever happened. If he likes me then it would just be a crush. Nothing else.'
Josh nodded.
'Lets go.' I said while getting up.
'Where?' Josh asked.
'Outside, its a cool day.'
'Rubes, I got to go meet up with Tom.' He said with an apologetic smile. Tom was Josh's other friend. He is really cool and has a crush on me. But I don't like him. He is cute. But in a baby way. You feel like pinching his cheek.
'Okay, I'll see after lunch.' I said. He nodded and said bye.
I walked outside. People were jumping about. We might be 16 but we have the mind of an 10 year old sometimes.
I walked to the grass area and sat down. I took my drawing book out and started to draw. I'm not the best at drawing. But the more you practise, the better you are. I started drawing the sun when something like darkness blocked it. I looked up to see what was going on when I saw the Riches.
'Hey, wassup Ruby.' I put my hand over my head to cover the sun because I couldn't see a thing. I saw Rick smirking and Matt texting. And then I looked around to see where Conor was but he wasn't here. I felt disapointment.
'Nothing, just sitting in the sun.' I said.
They just stood there. 'Sit down.' I said trying to make space for them.
'Are you crazy Ruby? This grass could have spiders.' Rick said.
I laughed. 'Scared of spiders are you?'
'No but the one on your head looks pretty big.'
I screamed and stood up. I put my head down so the spider would go.
Rick and Matt started laughing. I couldn't help but smile.
'Ha ha, very funny guys.' I quickly got a stone from the floor and hid it in my hand. I put it up to them. 'I could easily put this spider in your mouth.' I said while trying not to laugh. They believed me.
'What the hell, Ruby? You wouldn't dare!' They shouted moving backwards.
I came closer and said 'I would.' They went back. They quickly ran and I quickly chased behind them laughing.
We ran past the whole school and was near the field where we do sports.
We both stopped out of breath.
'This.... is.... the..... best time I have ever had.' Matt said with a smile on his face.
Rick looked at me and my hand. 'Please
