wouldn't know that you that you like someone. I'm your sister. How come you didn't tell me?' She said while looking at Ruby.
'Ermm.. I didn't tell you because-'
'Shes not your type.' Cassie said like it was a fact.
'What? When did I have a type?' I said.
'Don't tell me you don't know.' She said. I looked at her confused as ever. 'Remember last month you were dating that girl called Natalie.'
I forgot all about her but when Cassie said her name I was brought back to her. She was a really pretty girl. Her dad owned a big business in Paris and when she saw me, she asked me out. I couldn't say no then. But then I found out that she only dated me for my money. I was kind of annoyed but I expected it. Every girl loves me because I'm rich. Its just a fact. But Ruby is different. She hated me first but then I saw her eyes change into some other emotion. Love.
'Yeah, what about Natalie?' I said.
'She was just one of the people you have had bad times with. She was rich like every other girl you have dated. She was a model like any other girl you dated. But this girl right there.' She pointed at Ruby. 'That girl is the only girl that doesn't care how she looks or how she acts. She just cares about people.'
'Wait, how do you know all this?' I said. She knew so much things about Ruby but shes never met her.
'She reminds me of my husband. Ed only cares about other people and the only reason why he couldn't express his love for me was because he felt like he was too less for me. But then again, he wanted me to be happy. He thinks we are nothing alike. Hes a low class man while I am a high class women. He tries his best for everything while I could have anything with a click of a finger.' She sighed and said, 'But we're so much alike.'
I smiled. She really loved him. I gave her a hug and was about to say something when she interrupted me.
'Lets meet her. I can't wait.' She said happily while dragging me to her.
Chapter 23 - Ruby's P.O.V

'So who is this Sam then?' Rick said. Nico had gone and I was waiting for Conor. I was kind of mad that he wasn't here but I'm sure the something might have came up.
'Sam was my first friend since I was little.' I said.
'Really? Thats so cool.'
'Yeah it is.' I nodded.
'Did you know when Conor was small, he was so annoying! He used to keep on poking people and calling them weird names.' He said laughing. I laughed too. 'Really?' I said. 'I didn't expect that.'
'Yeah, we went to our grandma's house when we were 6 and Conor kept on poking grandma. He kept on doing this that one day Grandma got Conors finger and said ''People like you are the reason people like me take pills!'' and Conor stopped poking and went quiet for ages.'
I laughed. 'Oh My goodness, really? I wish I was there.' I said while laughing my head off. People looked at me like I was crazy but I didn't care. I also noticed that a lot of people have been staring at my red hair. Not a lot of rich people like girls who have dyed their hair. But I don't give a damn.
'Helloo!' Someone screamed. I looked back to see a blonde girl about 19 years old. She had a massive smile on her face. I didn't know who she was. I looked next to her and I saw Conor. He was wearing a black suit that looked great on him. He smiled at me and said hi. I looked back at the the blonde girl. She had a gold dress on that was really nice and designed. She was really pretty. I was garbage towards her. She had blue eyes like Conors.
'Oh My goodness, your Conor's sister!' I blurted out stupidly.
'Yeah! Wow, how did you know?' She hugged me so tight that I couldn't breath.
'Its really nice to meet you Ruby!' She said happily.
'Yeah, you too.' I said. She was really nice. I know its mean, but I thought that Conor's sister would be a show off and a snoop. But this girl is so not what I expected. I saw her name on the newspaper. She did a charity for a hospital that opened. Her name was Cassie Robert. Wait, I didn't know that she was young. I thought she was quite old because she was married. But she nearly looked the same age as me. She must have got married at a young age. Wow, a name could tell you so much things about a person.
'So how did you guys meet?' Cassie said. First I didn't get what she meant..We all fell silent. I suddenly felt embarrased. If she knew how I talked to Conor when I first met him, she would not like that at all. I looked at Conor. His face was in panic. I looked at Rick. He looked like he was trying not to laugh. I glared at him.
'Well, errmm.. She was in my class and we sat next to eachother. We started talking and well, thats how we met.' Conor said. It was the truth at least. We both looked at Cassie, hoping she doesn't give us more questions like how did you feel? or was it love at first sight? Because when I first met Conor I thought he was a rich pig. And it wasn't love at first sight. It was hate at first sight.
Cassie looked kind of dissapointed. 'I thought It would be more romantic like you both bumped into eachother in the corridor and looked into eachother's eyes and fell in love.' Cassie said dreamly. I blushed. I looked down to my shoes.
'Sorry darling, didnt mean to make you blush.' Cassie said noticing my nervous movement.
'Oh no, its fine.' I said smiling. She was really nice.
'So, what does your dad work as?' Cassie said. I looked up from my shoes. I froze. Did she just say what my dad work as?That was random. Conor looked at me with the 'im sorry' eyes. I didn't know what to say. Normally when people ask me about my dad, I just say that hes not with us. People think it means he is dead. I don't care really. But saying 'hes not with us' can mean that he isn't actually 'with us' so it is still the truth even if people think it means that he is dead.
'Well.. ermm..' I couldn't say it. I don't know why. I could see Ricks eyes on me. 'Well-'
'Cassie, why don't you and Rick dance for a while?' Conor interrupted. 'I know this is your favourite song.' He saved me. I smiled at him while Cassie dragged Rick to the dance floor. I could hear Rick giving daggers to Conor for making him dance.
'Thanks.' I said while hugging him.
'No problem.' He said. We both went to the food area and sat down.
'I'm sorry about my sister.' Conor said while holding my hands.
'Its fine. Shes really nice and sweet.' I said.
'You should see her in the morning. She could kill us if we try to wake her up.' Conor said. I laughed.
'So how long is this party?' I said getting something to eat. There was nothing there that I knew. It all looked so posh and ugly. But I just got a fancy looking bread and put it on my plate. Conor put a green cabbage-like thing into his plate. I tried to stop myself from laughing. It just looked so funny. And different.
'Oh, your already getting tired of the party?' Conor said.
'No, I just like to know when it ends.' I said trying to defend myself.
'Well, it ends in half an hour but people will start to go after 15 mins.' Conor said getting a fork and putting it throught the cabbage-like thing to half it. It had jelly inside it. I stared at it.
'You want some?' Conor said giving me the fork with cabbage stuck at the end of it.
'Er, no thank you.' I said trying to be nice when I just wanted to move it away from my face.
'Oh come on. I dare you to eat it.' he said teasing me.
'What? No way. It looks weird.' I said looking at the cabbage more closely.
'Come on, are you chicken? Are you?' He said smiling. I bit my lip.
'Okay...' I got the fork from the table and picked the cabbage-like thing up. I looked at it. It looked disgusting. There was jelly inside it and a bit of avacado at the side. Okay, I could do this. I looked at Conor. He was smiling and looking at the cabbage-like thing like It was disgusting. I looked around. Everyone was busy talking and eating. I could see Sam at the far end talking to some guy. And I could see Rick and Cassie dancing. Cassie with her big smile dancing very elegantly while Rick making a 'I hate my life' face. I guess hes not the classical dancing kind of person. I closed my eyes and ate the cabbage-like thing. It tasted... okay. It actually tasted fine. The jelly mixed with the outside layer and the avacado made an good finish to the taste. I smiled while chewing. Conor looked at me with amazement in his eyes. I laughed. He joined in.
'Hey guys, what's happening here?' That was Rick. He was amused by our laughing.
'Nothing just a dare.' I said.
'Cool. Guys, this party sucks.' Rick said getting a chair and sitting with us.
I laughed. 'You think your own party sucks?'
'Yeah, we've had millions of parties but our dad is always here to see if we came or not. And now that I heard that hes not coming, I was wondering if you wanted to go to a proper party in a proper club?' Rick said smiling at me and Conor.
'I don't know.. This party is cool.' I said. I looked around to find a thing that is actually cool in this party and all I found was people sitting on the chairs near the dance area looking really bored. 'Actually, I think its better if we go.' Conor nodded.
'Okay, wheres Sam?' I said looking around. They all looked around too but couldn't see him. Then I saw him talking to Cassie. They were laughing.
'There he is.' I was about to go to him when Rick said me and Conor should go to the party and he will call him.
We walked out the party and Conor took me to his private parking area that was filled with his cars. There was lots of cars and amazing ones too.
'Which one?' Conor said to me.
'Ermmm, the red sports car.' I said while pointing at the car at the cornor. It looked great and I always wanted to buy them kind of cars. But sitting in one is closest I can get to it.
We got in the car and drived off.

The party was amazing. There was milions
