(A/N: so this is my first story and I'm really bad at English. But I believe that if you need to win, you have to try from the worst :)
watch twice before you step
It has been my life quote ever since.
You may wonder why but if you study at Western College, I don't have to explain you twice. Western Collage is the last place you'd like to go, especially if you love your shoes too much.
As you see, I love my shoes too. Not because they are comfortable and big but they are the only pair that i have.
You got it, I wear those yellow color working boots to college.
I've known as a weird person because I do horrible things. But who would be pleased to get their shoes ripped everyday ?
Not me.
Because I am a poor girl who doesn't have that much money to spend for nonsense. People who study at Western Collage are devils. They don't care about anything but themselves . I won't be surprised if even someone murder their best friend because he looked at their girlfriend. That's how things going on in my collage.
So, "The girl who wear boots to collage" aka me is known as a poor trash but it's not like I care anyways. Once they tricked me with a chew gum, and then a hen in my locker and then they glued my chair and then and then..you know the story.
My Collage should be known as the "Shoes Ripping Collage" because this is my sixth pair of shoes after two weeks of my first year. What a great record.
As I walked down the corridor I sensed that everyone was looking at me. Immediately my hand went to my back and there it was..! I took the note which was freely standing on my jacket.
"I AM THE MONKEY GIRL, RESPECT ME"
Thank you for giving me so much attention.
Sometimes I feel sorry for these people. They think they are grown and big but they was they act...Just kids dude.
I threw the d*mn piece of paper away and kept walking with the biggest smile on face. CHIILLLL.. nothing happened.
But as you guessed, my mind was like: WHO WAS THAT F**KER? ! WHO THE F**K WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO THAT?!
"Hello Monkey girl" Melissa Grace. Yeah, I found f**ker
"Look, I think poor Ruby has misunderstood the collage with farm. She's wearing working boots! Those are you dad's monkey? Oh. I forgot that your dad is-"
Touched.
She shouldn't have to said that.
She shouldn't have to remind me my father...
I ran to grab her by her collar and punched her on the face.
But unfortunately. ...
AGGGHHH!
There was a devilish soap on my way. I slipped on it and fell down, hitting my butt on the floor. Dude that seriously hurt me.
I heard everyone laughing as my eyes were filled with tears. No I'm not crying!
"Poor baby" Melissa's Best friend, Ali chuckled with her barbie doll voice. She's a living barbie doll that I want to rip her mouth off from her face.
'Stand up Rubbbbyyy...don't make a fool in front of those f**kers'
My mind yelled at me with my favorite voice but I couldn't stand up. I watched Melissa's came over me and took my boots like it was the worst thing she has ever done and....
She gave it to a guy
The guy took a ketchup bottle and threw the whole shit into my innocent boot!
Ok.. but I can clean it.
But then....
He came over to me and ripped it right on my head(how could he be so strong? ) yup, ketchup were all over me. I tried to blink when that damn liquid started running over my face.
Ok..maybe I can't clean my boots again.
DAMN NOT MY LAST PAIR TOO!
******************************
"STOP IT!" Someone yelled. I couldn't see who because ketchup was covering my eyes but I recognised the voice immediately.
"M..Max..what are you doing? " I heard Melissa's shaky voice asked and others started muttering to each other.
"Sorry man, I was just-" THUMP! the guy who ripped my boot could never finish what he was 'just doing'
"-Just kidding" oh! However he managed to say that.
"Show is over! Now you guys can go back to your works" I felt someone knelt behind me and wiped my face with something soft but strong.
Wait it's his hand-
I forgot that he never use his handkerchief for others. Duh.
"I'm fine" I slapped his hand away. I heard him chuckle and I opened my eyes.
There he was kneeling in front of me, his hand covered with ketchup and a side smirk on his face. But I saw his eyes...
His green brown eyes were worried about..me
So, let me introduce my stupid best friend Max Harrington, crazy brown hair, charming green eyes (as he says) and almost every girl's dream, not mine , obviously.
I think about Max as a friend.just a friend. Just a good best friend. A caring brother.
"Why are you staring at me like you want to eat me?"
Idiot.
I rolled my eyes. Sometimes Max can be a pain in ass. And sometimes he's like a little baby. But when he gets mad.... he can shoot glares that will stop your heart from beating.
"Will you stop grinning like a cow and help me up? "I finally asked. he held out his hand and I took it, forcing my butt to stand up.
I quickly let his hand go as I stood in my feet. Last time, when I held his hand, that was when we were in high school and someone had took a photo and it became "REALLY" popular. Thanks to Max, I got soooo many haters. And his mom came into my home and pointed a finger at me which was fat because it was covered with rings and said, "You. Stay. Away. From. My. Son"
I asked her if she want anything to drink because she was breathing heavily.
She just shot me a glare and stormed off. It was really strange to see such a devilish look in those eyes which really looked like Max's.
But there's a strange feeling I get when Max's hand touches mine or when he whispers to my ear. His mint toothpaste. ..I guess that's why I shiver when he whispers to my ear...
But when ever time I see him walking over to me, my face light up and a huge smile appears.
He's my goofy best friend after all. I've known him ever since I've remember. We met at the children park near his home and I've remember he asked me to hold his shoes until he pees. I cried loudly because I thought he was an alien or something.
"So I am a cow now?" He grinned raising eyebrows.
Right. He's not an alien anymore. He's a cow.
"Yup.we better hurry up to clean this mess before Mrs.Dods give us another week of detention" I looked at myself. I kinda looked like a bloody ketchup monster or some weird kid at a Halloween party. Last week we got detention for the entire week because we put a dead fish into Mrs.Dods' handbag. I don't want to start this week week with something even worse than what just happened.
"Oh yeah! " He said "also I want to introduce you to someone later. Meet me at my lunch table"
I stopped walking "Max! You know I don't like to meet your friends"
"That's not a friend" then who?
"But I still don't wanna come" I argued
"But you have to" He argued back.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Idiot"
"Loser"
I punched his stomach. But I wasn't mad. I know he was teasing but not in a bad way. Besides I'm an actual loser. So I can't blame him, right?
"Ouch" he groaned. It hurt him?
"You are a little baby Harrington" I chuckled and he pouted
"Am not Ruby!!" Of course, a really little baby.
I cleaned myself in the bathroom and Max waited outside. Good thing I keep at least 3 spear clothes in my locker. When I came out Max held out a pair of shoes at me.
"I found these from basketball room. little bit dirty but I think they fit you. Give me your leg" he knelt down and held my leg slowly putting the shoe on. My face soften.
That shoe never matches to my black and gray outfits but it's still better than boots.
******************************
Together we walked into the class just few seconds before bell rang. But what I didn't know is it was the last time I walked together with Max Harrington
"DETENTION YOU TWO!"
Thank you Max, you gave me another award.
Fuck you Max!
"But Mrs. Dods-" The glare she gave me stopped me from talking.
You might ask, aren't you in collage? Why are you still having detentions?
Yes, I'm in a collage but the problem is, people in here are a little bit..you know.. loosen
Mrs.Dods is like a great witch from a fairy tale. No one ever can say 'no' to her. The glare she gives you will freeze you. The words she says will go through your heart like a burning arrow. Well.. just a little bit dramatic.
But she's an actual beast! She wears this little pink skirt which is really really little to her really really big body. And she usually wears different colors of blouses and her usual pink jacket. Does she thinks pink matches to her skin color or something? In my opinion, She looks like a even bigger version of Umbrige from Harry Potter.
This time I got detention cause Max. (I gonna kill him later b.t.w) He was muttering something about how Mrs.Dods butt moves when she's walking. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Still it's his fault!
"What do you have next?" He asked me as Mrs.Dods walked out from classroom. Is he kidding me?
"It's not like you don't know" I was too busy packing my things so I couldn't see his face.
"I may have forgotten" What?
"Are you kidding me?" I turned around to see him. Even before he answers, I knew the answer.
"no" He wasn't kidding.
It was the first time he had ever forgotten my timetable. I don't know why but he always knew what I have next. Sometimes it annoyed me. "Next you have Math with me", "see ya at 8th. We have Lit together" "unfortunately you have This but I have that" blah blah blah. ..
But what happened to him today?
"I have Math" I muttered and got up but Max grabbed my hand. "Don't forget what I said you at morning" What?
"What?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"Guess someone has forgotten? " he smirked. Oh no. He got me back. I poked his nose. "Idiot. I haven't forgotten. See ya" before he could catch me I ran away. Yes, of course. I had forgotten.
******************************
As I ran into my math class room, no one bothered to look at me. But when Max walks into a room everyone focus on him. Girls gasp. Some even lick their lips. It's eww... I know.
I sat on my normal spot. "Oh! You are here! Why are you smell like a hotdog? " one of my friends, Oma asked.
"Ketchup" I corrected her.
just because I don't have many friends like Max, doesn't mean I have no friends.
"Did you read that part about Zeus and his seven girlfriends in our history book?' Emily, other friend of mine asked. Zeus my ass, this is Math period.
"Have you seen Mrs. McKenzie's one and only daughter Ryna McKenzie yet?" Oma asked. I didn't like the way she said it.
"Who's that?" I asked blankly.
"You don't know who Mrs. McKenzie and her daughter is? Are you serious? " No and yes.
I just started blankly at her. She started back at me with wide eyes. Umm..ok..
I grinned.
"You're.really.antisocial" thank you.
"So who is that Mrs.McKenzie and her daughter? " I wanted to know. Yes, I'm antisocial because I prefer being like that cause being sociable always make troubles. Take Max as an example. He has to spend 1 hour in front of a mirror just to make his hair as perfect as he want. If he even miss one hair, the next day it'll be on internet, trust me.
"Mrs.McKenzie is a popular actress and a model. It's a miracle you don't know her. Her husband is one of the richest men in the whole country. Her daughter is really really really..." when she gonna stop that? "really really really realllllllyyy pretty"
She put her head on her hands like she was dreaming. I have seen her dreaming like this before when were watching Disney princesses' movies. But we were only 7 at that time. "like a princess from a Disney movie"
Oh! Still talking about Disney then.
Oh wow.
"Are you sure you are not gay?" I asked, completely confused.
She blinked at me "Are you crazzzy? I already have had 18 boyfriends to my entire life!"
Yes I know Oma, you can't stop talking about them.
"Then are you sure you're not bisexual?"
"Are you sure you are not asexual? " she shot me back. Yes I'm sure I'm not asexual. Just because I haven't had any boyfriend in my entire life, doesn't mean I'm asexual.
Before I answer her everyone gasped. I looked at the entrance of the classroom there was a tall skinny and in other words, 'better shape' girl standing there looking around the class.
She was wearing a short yellow dress which highlighted her figure. And oop ..too much make ups.. really too much. Maybe she wanted to look like pale. Being honest my skin is really pale and I hate it but that girl seemed like she wanted to have a pale skin. Her eyes looked like they were trying to
