Ruby Rose was running to her locker, afraid that she’d miss the bell if she didn’t hurry. She wasn’t paying attention to the people around her and had accidently pushed a girl with long strawberry blonde hair and sparkling blue ocean water eyes on the ground. She silently cursed to herself and kneeled over to help the girl up. "Jeez! I’m so sorry! I didn’t even see you there. Are you ok?" Ruby looked at the girl closely. She was wearing a black shirt that must have been difficult to breath in, a pair of black skinny jeans, black shoes that a skater kid might have worn, and a small, thin black jacket with blue sapphires along the rims of the pockets.
   She looked the beautiful, bizarre girl up and down. She was very thin, but she was able to tell the girl worked out a lot by the build of her body. Her hair went down to the small of her back, and her cheeks were a rosy pink. Aw, she’s blushing! I must have scared her quite a bit… Ruby extended her hand and introduced herself. "Hey, I’m Ruby Rose. You must be the new girl every ones been talking about." She smiled warmly at her, glad she had caught herself from saying what she was about to.
   The girl took her hand and gave it a gentle shake. "Yeah, that’s me… I’m Sapphire Star." She returned her smile, her eyes giving off a vibrant ray of emotion. Sapphire kneeled over and picked up her back pack, sighing as she dusted it off. Ruby smiles appologeticly. "Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going." Instead of Sapphire yelling at her for her mistake, she just shrugged. "Hey, no biggy. I’m kind of use to being pushed around. What with my having six older brothers and all."
   Ruby let out a chuckle. "I guess you would be then. So where are you going now?" Sapphire handed over her classes and Ruby smiled. "You have the rest of the day with me so it seems. "Come on, I’ll show you around."

   Ruby and Sapphire had hit it off wonderfully. It appeared that they actually had a lot on common. Thy both liked the same kind of music [rock and hip hop], they both loved taking pictures [of themselves an animals], they both loved dancing [cultural and ballroom], and they both had a very huge secret, one they never thought they’d have to share with anyone.
   It had been two weeks since the first day of school for Sapphire. Since then, the girls had spent all their time together. Whither they went to the mall, the movies, swimming, or if they had just gone to one of their houses, they were always together. Ruby had never known what it felt like to have a close friend, one that she could trust with her secret. It feels good to actually tell someone, she thought one night as she had lied wide awake in bed. She could feel Sapphire felt the same way. It’s the start of a grand new friendship! Was her last thought before she fell asleep that night, cuddling her pillow and dreaming of the adventures they were to soon discover.
   Little did they know their biggest adventure wouldn’t just be thrilling, it could also be deadly.
