Hello! Crossing my fingers for this chapter XD

 OH, and that's is Lizzie picture (so perty) 

          ~Reuben P.O.V. ~

  I’m currently sitting in my first period class, actually it’s more like hell. I know this day is going to be a long day. I swear the universe or something is out to get me, because I’m sitting right next to no other, but a sadistic bastard, who used to torment me every day of my middle school life. Well, it was two years ago and maybe he changed, but why do I feel like prey right now.

  He stared at me before, but now he seems to be listening to the teacher,

Thank God!

It felt like he would never stop staring at me.

Now! I must focus on something way more important, the teacher.

My mind finally focuses on the teacher. And of course, he’s talking like there is no tomorrow.

“Okay, you hooligans, I want you guys to do a little favor for me, it won’t be a big deal.” The old man announces, trying to make what he announced easy to swallow.

The whole class replies with a groan of misery.

“Now, now I just want you guys to do at least two page interview on a person,” he pauses to see if the class is listening.

“That person will be in this class, and I want you to just ask questions about themselves, and I’ll pick who you’ll be interviewing. That person will also be your partner in this class for the entire year, and that’s why I’m giving you the chance to get to know one another.”

Half of the students are uninterested, and the rest seems to be paying attention, I think.

Then Mr. Bradley picks up some papers, and start announcing the partners. I have this feeling that I’m not going to like what Mr. Bradley says, right….Now!

“And lastly, Carson Blackwell and Reuben King.”

I swear, I’m like a magnet to bad things.

Carson turns to face me, but I turn my head away from his gaze, I don’t want to turn into stone.

“Hey! You,” Carson says loud enough for the whole class to hear, and makes the room fall silent. “So, you’re my partner now, your name is Reuben…..Hmmm, I’ll just call you Ruby, It fits you.”

I know he’s trying to get my attention, but I just ignore him, and indeed the whole class is just staring at us. Why can’t they just mind their own business?

And of course I keep ignoring him, and that is getting him restless.

“What are you deaf or something? I’m talking to you.” He snapped, looking quite pissed.

The teacher interferes and he demands for Carson to calm down, and to stop interrupting the class.

The class just looks at me in pity, and their faces tell me to just answer him, but I still don’t.

Carson of course, ignores the teacher, and others who try to calm him down and tell him to leave me alone.

He talks to me and at the same time tries to calm himself, “Ruby, let’s get to know each other, I find you quite interesting, and why don’t you look at me when I’m speaking to you? And who are you to ignore me?”

I finally give up and ended up responding to him.

“Y-y-yes, I understand I won’t do it again, I’m sorry.” I said weakly.

“Oh, so you can speak. Just give me your phone number.”

“W-w-why” I questioned.

“So I can get to know you better.” He replied, while smirking evilly.

“I-I-I don’t want to give you my number.” I stuttered.

“Stop, saying rubbish, I’m starting to get quite frustrated, good thing your incredibly cute, or you’ll be in the nurse’s office already.”

D-d-did he just call me cute?!

I reluctantly gave him my number. I don’t want him to start threatening me. I’ll just particularly piss my pants.

Yippee! (Hint: sarcasm) Now the jerk has my phone number.

Well, my plan of trying to avoid him as much as possible, typically failed.

And I know now for sure, that Carson Blackwell hasn’t changed at all.

 It felt like forever, but the bell for the end of first period finally rang. I grab my things, and made sure I have everything, before I leave. I quickly walked out the room, and entered the hallway of a bunch of talkative bodies.

I see a blonde with blue eyes, and wearing bright clothes and a bright personality. That girl is Lizzie. I hurry up to catch up to her, she sees me and beams, suddenly she runs up to me and grabs my arm.

I guess she’s trying to introduce me to one of her friends.

“Marissa, this is my adorable friend Reuben”

Marissa is a brunette with hazel eyes, and looks like a hypster girl. I think I’m going to like talking to her and hanging around with her, if Lizzie thinks she’s cool than she’s alright with me.

Marissa takes a glance at me and looks like she’s about to jump me.

The next thing I know I’m being squeezed in a bear hug, by Marissa. She’s squealing like a pig and she exclaims saying

“Damn Lizzie, when you said he’s adorable you meant it.” Then she comments, “You would totally be a bottom.”

When she looked at my puzzled face, she exclaimed again

“Holy cow, you’re so innocent, I just want to rape you!”

“Um, Marissa, it’s nice to meet you,” I finally greeted, trying to change the subject.

“Well, look it Reuben you made a new friend!” Cheered Lizzie.

I shyly smiled to Marissa, and then Lizzie asked me what class I had next. I told her that I had History next, RM 506 Mrs. Melloway.

I say bye to Marissa, because she has to go to class, but before she leaves, she gives me one more death hug.

“I guess I’ll show you where your next class is, since I have the same class also. I believe, your punishment is over, I can’t stay mad at you, you’re just too cute!

I sigh in relief, thank god she forgave me, because if anybody gets on Lizzie’s bad side, they’ll be in trouble.

She guides me to all my classes, which are Social Studies/Geography (2nd period), Pre-calculus (3rd period), Latin (5th period), P.E. (6th period), and lastly Bio (7th period), plus lunch which is (4th period).

The most annoying thing is that the son of a gun, Carson Blackwell is in most of my classes. At least 4/7 classes. And his favorite thing to do, while he is in all those classes is to stare at me.

I think it’s one of his mind tricks, he’s trying to get in my head and it’s definitely working, I’m going absolutely mad! I’m not the only one who notices Carson’s sudden interest in me, but I believe Carson’s best friend, Tony Ashford does.

Once in a while, Tony will give me the look of pity, whenever Carson looks my way. I believe he’s either trying to make me understand something or he’s kind enough to give me sympathy for what I’m going through.

After all the misfortune happenings, the final bell for students to go home arrives with a sharp ring. And that sharp ring, is like music to my ears.

When I left my last period class, which I have with Lizzie, we walked to our lockers. Lizzie locker is pretty close to mine, so I exchange my books and do the normal routine.

Then suddenly I hear a familiar voice, “Hey! Ruby”

It’s Carson. Now, what does he want now?

I turn around to look at Lizzie, she already left. Humph! Traitor, I bet she left because she saw Carson, and didn’t want to deal with any drama.

He leans on the lockers with his shoulders, while crossing his arms, he looks at me and I can tell he thinks he looks righteous.

He gives me a phony smile and looks me straight in the eyes asking,

“Why don’t you come to my party? It will be a great opportunity to get to know one another”  

“I-I-I don’t know,” I replied.

“It’s fine, I’ll just give you an answer, because you’ll be definitely going. If you don’t, I tell you this, you’ll surely regret it.” He said, and reaches out to ruffle my hair. When he did that, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

I quickly ran out the school and texted Lizzie, while walking to my car,

Lizzie, can u come over my house? I need to talk to u, it’s urgent.

I entered my car, and drove home, which only took me 15 minutes.
