to eat?'
I looked at the watch and saw that I spent too much time sleeping. And my punishment is that I can't eat breakfast.
'Its okay mum I'm going to head to school.' I said while getting my bag.
'Okay bye.' She gave me the key to the house.
'Again mum?' I said. Shes been staying late in work all the time.
'Look darling, I've got a lot of bills to pay and getting extra shifts will help.'
I sighed and said bye to her.
I walked to school. It only took 5 minutes if you run it. There was another short cut, but I heard that a gang always hangs out there and I don't really want to get between a gang.
When I got to school, everyone was looking at me. Did I have something on my face? Then I remembered. I can't believe they still mad about what happened in History. I brought shame to their idols. How can they choose idiots from me? But they were'nt giving evil faces. They were giving apologetic smiles. Like they were sorry about something. Maybe they do forgive me about what happened. Then out of nowhere, They all threw water baloons on my face! I knew they were hiding something from me and this was it!
I was wet! With water on my face, clothes and Everywhere. My clothes was so wet that you could see my bra. I quickly hid behind a tree. The whole school against me? I never saw this day coming.
'What the hell!.' I screamed. My face was covered in water. I didn't hear laughter. I couldn't see, there was water in my eyes.
Then when I looked again. Everyone was gone except The Riches. How dare they?.
'You idiots, what the hell were you thinking!' They did this. They planned all this. They're the reason why I'm standing here wet. I never knew he would seek revenge for something that wasn't a big deal.
Rick and Matt laughed then Conor said 'We weren't going to let you go easily. And remember I said you will pay for this.'
They laughed again and were heading to the school entrance.
'You friking poshies, this isn't over!' I shouted. If I wasn't wet, I would have punched Conor on the face so hard that he would have never forget this moment. Conor looked back and put his hands up. 'We are so scared!' He said. They all laughed.
'You will be.' After I said that I ran home to get dressed again. They will pay and don't worry, I will not let them get away with this.
Chapter 4

I walked into Chemistry 15 minutes late. Everyone looked at me. It's good that the Riches were'nt in this class because I would have kicked they posh ass. They looked at my clothes to see any trace of wetness. Ha! I changed my clothes. They didn't think that I would walk into Chemistry with wet clothes did they?
'Why are you very late, Miss Williams?' That was Mr Calvin. He was a nice teacher if you were on his good side but one mistake (like this) could make him hate you for the rest of the month.
'Sorry sir, I had some problems.' I said giving the whole class daggers.
'Well next time, young lady, your problems will be added with my detention.' He said. 'Now sit down.'
I sat down next down next to Cam who was at the back.
We couldn't talk in this class because Mr Calvin was in a bad mood. You could see by the way he stomps his feet around the class.
'Right class, I have some work written on the board. Please do this in your books. I am going out of the class for 5 minutes.' He walked out but then peeped his head in and said 'No talking.'
After he was gone, everyone rushed to my table.
They all start apologising at the same time. I smiled. They were still with me. I didn't lose them, they were just doing it because they were scared that the Riches might hurt them. So they just went along with it. I knew it was too mean to be true.
'Look, we are really sorry about what happened, we had to do it.' Said one of the cheerleaders. 'He threatened us all.'
'How? I was in the same class with you guys.' I said. How can they be threatened if I was in the same class with these guys yesterday. I understood how it spreaded around the school about doing this to me. I felt mad that they all were hiding something from me.
'Look, they said we had to throw a balloon at you and if one of us didn't, they would hurt us.' The football captain said.
'Guys, this is crazy, its the whole school verses 3 boys.' I said.
'Ruby, they can know everything about us.' One of the geniues said (we don't call them nerds). 'They can grab our school files that have all our pictues and information in it. And if you got that kind of information about someone, you can't hide.'
I sighed, he was right. These 3 boys are idiots but they were smart. 'Thanks for being honest.' They nodded and went back to their seats.
'Hey you okay?' Cam said. I forgot that she was there, so much has been happening and I haven't even said how are you to her.
'Yeah Cam, I'm great and thanks.'
'For what?' She said looking confused.
'For everything.' I said while hugging her.

I knew what I had to do. I wasn't scared. Ruby Williams is never scared.
I went into the canteen with Josh and Cam. Oh, I was starving. My stomach was rumbling so much in Maths that people were offering me food and saying if I needed to go to the toilet. It was embarrasing and sweet of them.
I got a snack from the vending machine. I wanted to get a full meal but I forgot my money at home. And I don't like asking people for money. Even if I know I am going to pay them back, It just feels weird to me.
I sat on one of the tables. No one looked at me now. They all went back to their own lives. This is how I liked it. No one caring about eachother's business and sticking with their own. When I looked around, I saw the Riches. They were sitting on a table. The table was full of food. It was like a buffet of food. It had cake, fish, lasagne, noodles and other delicious food. They were eating lobster. We don't serve lobster. How can they be eating it? Oh, I remember. They're friking rich. They saw me look at them and Conor smiled and then said something to his brothers. They all laughed. Right, this ends now.
I got up from the table and was about to go to the idiots when Cam got my hand.
'Ruby, where you going?' She said looking at me with concern.
'To give the guys a peace of my mind.' I said looking back at them.
'Ruby-'
'Look, you both know that if their were someone else, I would have already seeked revenge, but these Riches are smarter than I thought.'
'Okay then.' Cam said letting go of my hand and going back eating her sandwich. I looked at Josh. He just smiled and said 'Ruby, do what you think is right.' Cam was mad at me.
I sat down and put my head on Cam's shoulder and made a puppy face. 'If you don't want me to do it-'
'Look, I do want you to do it, but I don't want you do get hurt.' She said looking at me with concern again.
'I won't.' I said. 'smile please.'
She smiled and said 'Anyways, your head is going to explode if you don't do anything.' I looked confused. She and Josh laughed. I still looked confused. 'Just go!' they both said in unison.
I went to the table. They looked at me and smiled like I was going to do an act for them. This is no act.
'So this is the weird girl you were talking about.' said Matt looking at me from head to toe.
'Yeah, isn't she the most stupidest girl ever? She thinks she can just say no to a Riches.' Said Matt. He looked at me like Matt did, but mostly on my chest. Everyone was looking at us. All their faces read one thing. Don't Ruby.
Conor looked at with amusement in his eyes. 'So are you here to apologise and beg for forgiveness?' He said.
'Actually no I wasn't planning on doing that.'
'So? What do you want? If you can see, we are kind of busy.' said Matt.
'Theres these 3 guys.' I said. 'All who are the biggest idiots in the world. They think they know everything. They think they are god.' I laughed. Everyone watching with interest. 'But your not, are you? You have millions of servant but no heart, You've got millions of brilliant tutors but no brain. You've got so much fish, but your selfish. I've met people like you before, actually everyone has, but I never met someone who is a player..' I pointed at Rick. 'A showoff.' I pointed at Matt. 'And an angry pig.' I pointed at Conor. They all looked at eachother. They laughed but I knew they were angry inside. They all got up from their seats and looked at me like a hungry fox looking at a innocent rabbit. But I'm no rabbit
'Oh wait, I'm not finished.' I said. They all didn't want to hear this but they knew they would look like a coward if they left.
What I did next is the most right thing I have ever done. I got a jug of red punch and put it all over Conor's hair. Conor couldn't believe what happened. He quickly got a napkin from the table and tried to clean the juice off. The punch is a very sticky juice and it'll take an hour to unstick again. They all looked at me angrilly.
I quickly had a quick laugh and said to Josh and Cam.
'My work is done here, lets go.' I said and walked out of the canteen smiling. All eyes on me.

Chapter 5

'Do you think blue or green suits me?' I said to mum. It's Saturday and we were in the new mall that just opened. Me and my mum never really went to different shops than the ones we usually go to. And it was an expensive mall so there was less people
