I am so sorry guys for going MIA and stuff. I didn't mean to. Was just busy with school and exams. Currently, I am still writing exams. I hope you all bear with me.
......................
I ran with all my might towards the cafeteria but unfortunately bumped into Ruby and Acapella on my way. I instantly froze and contemplated turning back so they won't see me but I was way too late and the looks Ruby was shooting at me was enough to stop my plans.
I took a deep breath before walking majestically towards them, Acapella looked at me and scoffed before bursting into laughter.
" What is funny?" I asked as I stopped In front of them.
" Where were you?" Ruby asked instead not giving Acapella the chance to answer my question as she folded her arms around her chest.
" Can we not talk about it?" I was pleased but who was I kidding? They both refused so I just signed before telling them everything as we walked into the school cafeteria.
" OMG!" Acapella giggled. " You and Hottie were alone in the school garden?" She asked in disbelief as she moved to my front, her hands palming my two cheeks.
" Enough with that Acapella" Ruby scolded. " We are in Cafeteria" She reminded and thankfully Acapella left my cheeks alone and returned to her position beside Ruby.
" If you ask me" Ruby began. " I think the guy is weird," She said and I turned to look at her wondering if I should let her know they bear the same name and were from the Same Country. I omitted that part earlier when I was explaining the situation to them.
" Seriously Ruby?" Acapella asked with a frown.
" What?" Ruby asked. " I just said my thoughts," She said shrugging her shoulders.
" Well your thoughts are the ones weird" Acapella scowled and I signed. ' These two were not bickering again' I thought.
" Hello there, I believe I am entitled to my thoughts," Ruby said. " And if you are not okay with it, go knock off a wall or something" Ruby added before storming off angry obviously.
" Okay, she is mad," I told Acapella as I moved closer to her but she just scoffed.
" I don't care if she is, Little things get her angry too easily and it's frustrating" Acapella reminded and I signed wearily.
" You know you were wrong," I told her as we made our way toward the chef to grab our trays of food.
" And how?" She asked, her face turning Red.
" Easy, now don't get angry with me"
" I am not" She lied and I smiled.
" Your face is glowing red" I informed her and she gasped. " Did you chew a chili'" I asked mockingly and she glared at me before filing her tray hurriedly.
" Can't wait to get away from me" I teased and she groaned before dashing off to our usual table. I laughed as I started filing my tray also, I grabbed a hamburger, Fries, Apple, and a soda. I will eat light today. I always also make sure to have fruits with my food.
It helps with the weight, not that I grow fat anyway but it still doesn't hurt to be conscious right? I was about to leave when I heard the voice of my current nemesis.
" Saw something interesting" I froze before turning slowly to see his handsome features. I gulped silently as he seductively ran his tongue above his lower lips. I found myself imagining what it would be like to have a taste of them.
" Snap out of it girl" My subconscious whispered and I immediately got myself. ' What the hell was I thinking?' I thought before looking up again at Rock to see a smile plastered on his face.
I ignored him and just took my lunch and made my way to my friends. I heard him release a chuckle from behind me and tried my best not to blush. I hurriedly sat down when I got to where Ruby and Acapella were. Even though I made sure not to look back, I could feel his piercing gaze on my back.
" Someone is blushing" Acapella teased and I glared at her. I am guessing it's payback Time.
" Ugh, grow up already," I told her but all she did was smirk to infuriate me more.
Ruby was just silently eating her lunch ignoring us all. She just had a banana inside a tray with a glass of milk. ' Was she on a diet?' I wondered.
" Are you on a diet?" I decided to ask to satisfy my curiosity, I think that was when Acapella also noticed for she gave a stunned look upon seeing just a banana and a glass of milk on Ruby's tray. I couldn't blame her though, I was stunned. The Ruby we knew was a heavy eater.
" Danny told me I am adding weight" She explained and I felt my Jaw drop.
' was the guy blind?' I wondered.
" Is he alright?" Acapella asked but Ruby just ignored her. I guess she was still mad at her.
" I wonder the same" I replied and Ruby just shrugged.
" So you are telling me you aren't eating because lover boy told you you are beginning to add weight?" Acapella asked again and I nodded.
" But Ruby you know you don't grow weight" Acapella reminded her and she froze like she was just remembering.
" I know but maybe I am starting to now" She replied.
" Of course not, even the doctors assured you, so what are you saying?" I asked.
" I always knew something was up with that guy," Acapella said clenching her fists.
" Naturally Danny should not care even if you are growing weight especially if he truly loves you," I told her and she signed.
" You guys know how much he does love me?" Ruby reminded us but now I was starting to have doubts.
"Then why is he asking you to go on a diet?" Acapella asked.
" He didn't ask me to ask" She answered and I dropped my hamburger instantly.
" What?" I asked to be sure.
" He didn't ask me to go on a diet, I just did" She repeated.
" Are you dumb?" Acapella yelled furious now. I was furious.
" Ruby, how could you?" I asked calmly so as not to agitate her.
" She knows how your health is" I reminded her and she looked down sadly.
" And so does Danny, yet he asked her to go on a diet" Acapella raged looking like she was going to kill someone.
" He didn't ask me to, I did it myself" she insisted.
" Yes, because the jerk said you were growing weight" Acapella explained.
"But wait! Isn't he suppose to be happy instead?" She asked and I gave her a confused look.
" Look at how thin and small she is" She reminded me and I understood what she meant. Ruby began crying instantly and I immediately moved to gather her in my arms. Acapella looked at us for a while before groaning and joining us. I smiled at that.
