Continuous School 5 Ruby

Tuesday mornings were a time where I split up from Ethan and Sean. The first lesson of the day was Music, I enjoyed studying music, I liked playing the piano, it's something I've been practising for a while and I have quite a strong connection to it. I don't know how long I can keep it up but at the moment I'm enjoying it.

However, one thing that doesn't bring any peace to me at all is Ruby. An extremely talented girl with 'Ruby' coloured hair, I guess she dyed it to fit her name. This girl is also in our Form, but I can avoid her during Registration by talking to the others.

Ruby decided to pick all the Expressive Art-based subjects, and annoyingly for me, that means I have to put up with her for Music and Drama.

"So, I've been looking forward to this all summer. Now that we are back at school I can prove to you I'm better than you."

She seems to have this thing where she considers me her rival. Although she can be annoying I know she means well. We've known each other for long enough to have a complicated relationship.

"Good to see you survived summer then Ruby."

"Huh, What do you mean by survived."

"Well, it was six long weeks of not being able to talk to me. I don't know how you can live without me for so long. After all, you make it your mission to try and annoy me."

"HA, Don't flatter yourself, I would never think about someone as low down in society as you, you are nothing but sc.u.m to me."

Ah, how annoying.

"Whatever, I gotta go warm-up for the performance."

"AH! WAIT!"

Typical, Ruby doesn't know how to be honest at all. Although I do wish she would leave me alone.

"Ah… um… can you help… me practice...yeah, practice... you see I've got this duet and I need someone to play the other part. Just so I can prove that I'm better than you"

Ah, how annoying.

"Fine, only one run through though."

Like me, Ruby played the piano. She was also really good at singing and she would often sing for her Music exams. She only plays the piano for the after-school music band that she tries to get me to join. Probably because she is lonely, but I'm already in the going home club and have been to every session, I can't just abandon my club like that.

"Try not to sit close to me while playing… and make sure your hands don't go anywhere near mine. I don't want to touch you."

Ah, how annoying.

"Oh and one more thing before we start…"

"What is it?"

"The music teacher said that you have to perform with me for the music exam before Christmas. Meaning we'll be meeting after school to practice. See you there!"

Ruby skipped off to begin warming up. I watched her walk away with various emotions running through my mind. The main one? Obviously, it was anger.
