1. Trust - The Promise - Jade is Awesome (red queen ebook txt) 📗

I was in canteen and they were selling the famous chocolate cake. You haven't heard of the FCC? Its the most wonderful cake in the world. Just saying the name makes my mouth watery. I was with Josh and Cam.
'I don't think black suits me. But I like the colour.' Cam went on. She has been talking about dress for the party that a not so close friend has invited us to. 'Cam, you suit every colour, except brown.' We all stopped. 'No one suits brown.' Me and Cam said in a unison. We started laughing and Josh just rolled his eyes. But I knew he actually thought it was funny. We got our chocolate cake and saw the the whole canteen was full of people. FULL! When I say full, I don't mean all the best places have been gone. I mean people are actually sitting on the floor full. Just when Josh was about to say that we will have to eat outside, someone called my name from the back.
It turned around to see Matt calling us. He was smiling and pointing at a couple of seats on their enormous table.
'No Its fine!!' I shouted back because they were a long way from us.
Then Rick stood up and walked to us. We all looked at eachother like 'should we be running?' But before we could decide, Rick took my dinner and said, 'Come on, we have space there for you guys, just come and eat.' I sighed. We're just going to eat anyways.
Cam looked away. Rick fired her dad. If that was me, I would have kicked Rick's ass, but Cam doesn't like action. She's more of the words kind of person. I'm more action. Rick saw the sadness in her face.
'You must be Cammie.' He said smiling. I saw that he was really trying to be sorry with her.
'Yeah, the daughter of the guy you fired.' She said coldly. When I said she liked to talk in words, I didn't mean they were nice words.
'Look, I'm sorry okay? I was just being an idiot. Can you please forgive me?'
She looked at him for a second and said ' Are we going to eat our food standing up or are you going to take us to you table?.' I smiled.
Rick looked at me and smiled too.
We walked to our table to find Matt and Conor there. They were'nt even eating, just typing on their phone.. Whoa, these guys don't even talk to eachother much. I sat down near Matt but putting some space between us because A. He will get the wrong idea and B. because there is so much space on this table, that all the teachers in this school can fit in it. So there is no point squashing together. Cam said next to me and Josh sat awkwardly near Conor. Conor nodded lazily at Josh to say hi and Josh smiled and nodded back. Conor didn't even look at me. Why was I so angry about that? Its not like I wanted him to look at him. The table was filled with food. But All I wanted was my pudding.
'So, you guys are like nearly in all our classes.' Said Rick, dying to end this awkward silence.
'Yeah.' I said to Rick. I quickly ate my first bite in the chocolate. I couldn't help but say yum out loud. Everyone on the table looked at me.
'Sorry.' I said flashing red. 'But this chocolate is amazing.'
'I agree, Its heaven.' Said Cam. Josh nodded.
'Really? We haven't tasted it.' Said Matt smiling at Cam.
'Yeah, Matt you should taste it.' I said trying to get Matt's eyes off Cam. The last thing I want is them 2 being together.
'I don't think theres any left.' Said Matt.
'Oh, you could have mine.' I said putting a spoon of chocolate cake up to his mouth.
They all looked at eachother and started laughing. I looked offended. Conor started laughing. Wow. His laughing made me smile. I wanted to hear more.
'We won't take your food from you Ruby, you can have it.' Conor said.
I looked like an idiot holding that spoon. 'What? Look, even Josh likes it and he is really picky when it come to food.' I quickly gave a spoon of chocolate cake to Josh. He opened his mouth and ate it. He put his thumbs up. We all laughed. I looked at the time.
'I have to go and thanks for the seat.' I said to Rick. They nodded and Conor for the first time smiled at me. Wow. Keep smiling please Conor.
I quickly ripped my eyes away from him. 'You coming?' I said to Josh and Cam. They nodded.
We all went but Rick quickly got Cam's hand. Cam looked back and saw her arm.
'We're okay, aren't we?' Rick said looking for hope. Cam smiled and nodded.
So I thought everthing was going great. I was friends with the the Riches, Mr Child's got his job back, Josh has came back. But my worries started when I saw Conor smiling at me. Making me feel warm from the inside.

BEEP BEEP BEEP. Thats it! The alarm clock is going in my 'What Would I Ban' book. I woke up getting drool all over my pillow. 'Thats a great way to start my day,' I mumbled to myself. I got up and had a shower. When I was done, I remembered today there was going to be a party. I really need to go shopping. I have lots of dresses but theres always something wrong about them. But I can just not go. I'll ask Cam in school.
I wore a purple plain dress and shorts underneath. I don't always wear clothes like this put it was scorching hot outside and I had no other clothes that were unstained and had no food stains on it. I left my hair opened today because I'm having a good hair day. People have bad hair days and other people have good hair days. Nothing special. I quickly put some eyeliner on and took my bag with my sports clothes in. We have Gym first eventhough no one wants to start a day with running.
'Hey mum.' I said while getting an orange that I will eat in school.
'Darling, your eating a proper english breakfast today.' She said while giving me toast and bacon.
'But mum-'
'No buts, I'm going to look after you today and thats that.' She said while cutting my toast up. Was I like 9 or something? Im 16.
I quickly ate my breakfast and hurried outside before mum could tell me to eat the sides of the toast.
'Hey.' I looked around to see Rick.
'Er... Hey.' I said looking confused. What was he doing her infront of my house? More weirder question, is how did he know where I live?
'Well, I was walking to school and saw you...' He said. Wait, hold on a minute, he walked to school?
'My ferrari broke down and I saw the weather was great so-'
'So why not walk to school together.' I said finishing his sentence. He smiled. I looked at what he was wearing. He didn't have a hat on as usual, he actually looked really nice and cool. He had a white shirt on that showed off his muscles. He had baggy trousers. Nearly the same from when I first saw him but these wear grey. He didn't have a bag with him. We started walking. Then It struck me, where is his brothers?
'Rick, where are the others?' I said to him.
'Oh, they wanted to wait for another car.' I smiled. That sounds like Conor.
'So, I wanted to talk to you about something.' He looked like he didn't want to. He kept on fiddling with his phone. Wait, was he nervous? Wow, these guys get weirder and weirder every day.
'Sure, whats up?' I said looking at him. He wasn't looking at me like he didn't want to see my reaction to his question. Please please please don't tell me, he's going to ask me out. If he does, I will faint and when I wake up, I'll pretend to lose my memory and move houses and live alone all my life with cats called Boris and Molly.
'Well, I know this wierd, but I want to know..... Can I borrow your notes for English because-' I stopped walking.
'Wait, you got all worked up just because you wanted my notes?' I said looking surprised. I thought he was going to tell me something important. I never thought he'll just ask me if I have stupid notes for some stupid test. He stopped too.
'Yeah.' He said feeling happy with himself. But I knew he was hiding something.
We kept on walking. Cam was waiting outside the school. She saw me and smiled but then she saw Rick and her smile faded. I looked at her, trying to tell that everythings fine. I understood why she was worried. If I saw her with Rick, I would freak out and maybe punch Rick on the nose for just looking at her. But Rick's different. If he wanted to try anything, he would have tried before. Theres nothing to worry about. Rick said bye while going to his group of friends. 'Why was he with you?' Cam said suspiciously.
I laughed. She looked really funny when she was trying to work something out. Thats why I can't keep a straight face when we be doing equations in Maths.
'Nothing.' She looked at me for a while. Then smiled.
'Guess what?' She said while we walked to the entrance of the school
'What?' I said.
'Theres a new guy in school.'
'Really?' I said. Theres always new people coming to school but they never caught Cam's eyes. Wonder who this guy is.
'Yeah, He is hot!.' She screeched. Some people looked at us.
I quickly tugged her to my locker.
'You like him?' I said. I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy at all. She was supposed to be with Josh. They were supposed to be together. She can't just like a guy she just saw when she had the perfect guy coming this way.
'Hey.' said Josh. He was looking happy as usual.
'Hey Josh, and no Ruby I don't like him. Hes not my type.' She said. I catched Josh's eyes. He first loked confused but then his face went angry.
'Wait. What? What guy do you like? Is he John from Physics? I bet its him. He got his hair dyed. Lots of girls dig that. But I know he is with someone. Or have they
