Isn't he gorgeous?' Cam said for the 6th time.  

'What? Yes he may be gorgeous, but what happened to 'you shouldn't judge a book by its cover'?' I said. 

We were talking about 3 new boys who came to Cam's class. She was talking about someone called Rick. All who are hot and all who are mean.

 'Ruby, I am not talking about books, I'm talking about Rick, Matt and Conor!! Aren't they gorgeous boys or not.' She squealed. We were in my room.

We were supposed to be doing homework but Cam had other plans. I love Cam. Her name is short for Cammie. And calling her Cam isn't just obvious but it suits her. She is really beautiful. She has black short hair whereas I have light red hair. She has blue eyes whereas I have green eyes. And she tries different kind of fashion every week while I stick with a shirt and jeans. I rolled my eyes and got up from the bed.  'Wanna drink something?.' I said.These boys were really rich. Cam's dad worked in the company of Mr Riches, the father of the 3 boys. And Mr Child got a really big salary.

 'Yeah, juice. Talking about boys is exhausting.' She said while rubbing her forehead. 

'Yeah, theres too much words to describe how much of an idiot they are.' I said. Cam got up and tickled me on my right shoulder. My weak spot.

'Okay Okay, Sorry!' I screamed feeling ticklish all over. After she stopped tickling me, she said she had to leave. 

'Yeah, my mum gets worried when I just go out to put the rubbish away. And if I am 3 seconds late she will call the police and cry her eyes out.' She said while mocking her mum. I laughed. It's true. Cam's mum - Mrs Child is always getting worried for no apparent reason.  When she went, I went downstairs.

 'Hey, Mum what's for lunch?' I said, hungrier than ever. Its was lasange. Let me tell you something about lasagna, It is the most amazing food, I have ever ate. No, it's not food, Its gold!

 'Thanks Mum, This is awesome!' I said while squealing.  Mum put her hands on her ear. 

'What did I say about you and screeching?'

 'That I shouldn't do it?'

 'YES! Please, I have a massive migraine'.

Thats mum-talk for SHUT THE HELL UP!

 'Ok, I'm going to eat this gold in my room.'

Before she could stop me and give me a lecture of the 'no food out of the kitchen' policy, I zoomed upstairs quicker than you could say lasagna.  I loved my mum. She was the only person who understood how I felt when dad left.

This is because she felt the same way. Angry.My dad isn't dead. My dad isn't sick. My dad is a bastard. He left my mum. How? Well my mum and dad were doing fine until my dad became famous. He was signed up into businesses and enterprises and was very rich.

We were so happy for him until one day he thought that we were holding him back. I was only 12 when this happened. He came into the living room and told me to go to bed. It was only 6pm but even from a young age, I didn't want to test his mood. I went up and I heard shouting and some furniture crashing. After 10 mins I heard the door bang shoot. I went to my mum and asked her what happened. She was crying and had some bruises. I couldn't hear a word she was saying.

After a while, she started to hold back her tears and told me about my dad wanting to move to Florida.....Alone. My mum already caught him cheating a lot of times but my dad always made it up to her and stupidly, she let it go. So Florida was the worst thing. When my mum was done, she took me to my room and told me to go to sleep. I didn't know how to after all this was happening, but I don't think it was an option. She tucked me even though she never did that. And she told me something. Never trust the rich people. I didn't ask what or why. I just smiled weakly and fell asleep. This reminded me of the new boys in school. They were called the Riches. Weird that their surname is Riches and they are rich. And they reminded me of my dad even though I haven't met them.

 Just when I thought about this, I was put off from my lasagna.

For the last time Ruby, don't take the sides off from your bread!!' Mum shouted.

I was eating toast for breakfast. I took the sides of toast because I hate it. Sides are the worst. They're in my 'What Would You Ban' Book.

When I was done, I went upstairs and got dressed. I wore a white shirt with a bright yellow cardigan. And I wore blue jeans. With it, I wore a big necklace. I like to fiddle with some object when I'm nervous and today we have a History exam.

It's a small exam but I always take my exams seriously. I go downstairs and tell Mum that I'm leaving. 'Okay, Bye and good luck on the exam.' She said. I was about to go when she stopped me. 'Yeah?' I said kind of in a hurry because I need to revise some of my notes with Cam.

'Well, I'll be coming home late tonight, too much work in the office.' She said while handing me a key for the house. My mum works as Computer Software Engineer. She takes her work serious like me. My mum has green eyes that make her very different from me even though me and my mum have the same hair, nose and anger. 'Okay. Bye.' I said before hurrying it out of the house. 

I went to Grange Tom Hill Highschool. It has a big name and it is a big school. I walk into the massive school entrance and look around for my friend. Before I know it, someone put their hands on my eyes. 'Cam?' I said smiling. And then the person took their hand off my eyes and I looked at them. It was Josh! Josh was my best friend in the world. I thought he left school because his parents were moving somewhere else but he's right here!!

'Josh, What are you doing here?' I said while giving him a massive hug. He was wearing a grey jacket and big black trousers. He was the most hottest boy but he didn't care. He had blond dirty hair and blue eyes. He was amazing but he was just a friend. And I knew he wanted me a long time ago. But he knew what it would lead to. And he liked Cam now. And even though people think I'm a fool for not falling for him, I just didn't want to risk our friendship by being together. But he was still the funniest, smartest and the most honest boy I have ever met. I'm not really keen on boys since my dad, but Josh is different. He understands me in so many ways. He's just like Cam but he doesn't hide what he wants to say.

He just says it.  'You wouldn't guess it, My dad had an option to where he wants his job and he obviously chose here!' He said.

How much I missed that voice of his. 'This is great! Have you told Cam about this?' I couldn't even talk properly. I was so happy. I thought my mouth was going to rip because I was smiling too much.  'Well, She's looking for the new boys who came to the school, you know the ones who are rich and stuck up.' He said sadly. I was glad in two ways. First because Josh was jealous of Cam so it might lead to Josh telling Cam about how he felt. He liked Cam for months but he never told her. He never said but he thinks that Cam might reject.'She deserves better' he always says to me. How can anyone be better than this guy right here.. And secondly another person in the whole school agrees with me about these 'rich and stuck up boys'.

'Well, glad you agree, I-' I got interrupted by the stupid bell. It always rings at the wrong time.  'Lets get to class, Have you done your revision for History?' I said to Josh while walking to class. 'Didn't you hear? They've cancelled it.' Josh said smiling.

'What?' I stopped in my tracks. I revised all night for nothing?

'Why Josh, did something happen to the teachers?'

'Well no, Its something got to do with the new boys who came.'

'Stupid Riches.' I muttered. I went in to class. Miss Rain was teaching us. She's really nice but when she gets mad, she gets really mad. 

'Ok class take your seat.' Miss Rain said. She was pretty and young. That's why everyone liked her. She was only 24 and always understood everyone. Like once, there was a girl wanted to go to the loo, and Miss gave a face that said 'is it your time of the month?'

And if the girl smiled, Miss would let her go. Its was a girl's secret and we loved it. We sat on the middle table.  'Right, you might have heard that History was cancelled because of some people's requests.' She said. The 'some people' must be the Riches. 'So most of you people are happy about it and some people are annoyed that they had to revise for nothing.'

Look ,she so understood us. 'Don't worry, we will have the History exam next time.' Someone groaned at the back.

'Can everyone take out the worksheet that we did before and finish it for the lesson.' She said.'

Oh and Josh can you give the paper to the receptionist.' Josh got up, took the letter from Miss and went out. I was about to take my worksheet out when Cam walked in. Miss didn't say anything. She knows we won't learn even if we do get a lecture about being late. Cam smiled at me and sat the row behind me.  'Where have you been?' I said turning around. 

'To the toilets, where else?' She said, acting innocent. If I didn't know her much, I would have believed her. But I knew her since I was 7.

'Look, Josh told me about you going to see the boys.' I said angrily.

'Wait. Josh is here.' Her face lighted up. 'Oh My Gosh, how come you didn't tell me?'

'Well, I just did, didn't I?' Cam was going to say something else, when Miss told us to get on with our work.  I gave her the 'we have to talk later' face.

She nodded. When class was over, everybody was getting up to go. 'Class? Where do you think you are going?' Miss said looking offended by our movement. I was confused, just like the rest of the class. The bell rang didn't it? And if it didn't, did the class dream it?

'You might have missed an exam, but it doesn't mean you are missing this class.' We looked at like she was talking in a whole new language. 

'You have double History because of cancellation of History exam.' She said answering our confused face. We all groaned and sat down. Some boy was about to rip his hair out with annoyance. We all laughed and continued with the worksheet.

I knew most of this History worksheet. It was easy if you think about it.  I heard giggling and gasps from the back. I looked back and saw that everyone was staring at the front looking amazed. Cam was smiling and told me to look at the front. I was the only person who wasn't looking at the front.

Then I looked with excitement. It was the Riches. There was three guys looking around. I frowned.

'Told you they were gorgeous.' Cam whispered to me. And I had to agree. One of the boy was wearing a green shirt and baggy jeans. He had black hair. He looked like he didn't want to be here and this class was supposed to entertain him and we failed at it. He had a black cap on and looked so much like a player. I know I'm being judgemental, but if you were here, you would have thought the same thing.

Another guy was wearing a grey, well cleaned suit. If someone else wore a suit in this school, the whole school would laugh but this guy somehow pulled it off. He had blond hair that made him look okay. He was looking very proud of himself. show-off.

Then the last guy was... was amazing. I'm supposed to hate him but I couldn't find anything bad about him. He was amazing. He was wearing a red shirt with a black jacket. He had black hair and blue eyes that stood out. And when he smiled, you couldn't help smiling. Snap out of it Ruby! Never trust the rich, never trust the rich, never trust the rich. 

After I was done. I forced myself to stop looking at him. They all came into the class and said hi to Miss. 'Hello, you must be the new boys, well welcome to this school and welcome to this class.' She said smiling like the rest of the class. 'Take a seat where ever you want and he's a sheet of what you need to do.' She looked at them individually and then gave a sheet. The boys looked around to see where they sit. Everyone was shouting

'Sit here Rick! Sit over here Matt! We will help you with your work Conor!' Talking about desperate. The guy with the cap told a guy to get of his seat and as I expected, he did.  'You can take my seat Rick and I'll help you if you do need help.'

So he is Rick. Rick Riches. He must be embarrassed. Then the guy with the suit sat in the middle of the cheerleading group. 'Hey Matt, we heard so much about you. Do you wanna like go out on saturday if your not busy or anything.'

One of the girls said. He just ignored her and sat down. He must be Matt Rich. Then the blue eyes guy who must be Conor was coming my way. I quickly put my bag on the chair next to me so he won't sit there. Just to be on the safe side. But he stopped at my desk.

He looked back and forth at me and my bag. His eyes were so dreamy. But I had to stop looking at him or else something could happen. 

'My friend Josh is sitting here.' I said while going back to my work. Where is Josh? It's been ages, how can it take this long to take a paper to an office? I looked up. He was still there. He looked like he didn't move at all. The only thing different about him was that he had a bigger smile.

'What?' I said getting irritated. I hate it when people tell me to do things. And I know he wasn't telling me to take my bag of the chair, I just still didn't want to sit next to a rich guy. A guy who was similar to my dad.

'Ruby, let him sit there.' Miss said without looking up from her book.

'But-'

'No buts Ruby, he's new and you're not giving a good impression.'  I looked at the Conor and gave him daggers that said 'dont talk to me or look at me.'  He smiled like he was enjoying this. I got the bag from the chair and he sat down.  Josh came in and saw that Conor took the chair. I looked at him apologetically.

He shrugged, got his bag from the side of the table and sat behind me with Cam. I looked back and saw that Cam was blushing and looking at Josh with amazement. I didn't want to interrupt but I did want to look at what was going on.

'Hey Josh!' Cam whispered. She was happier than when I met Josh.

'Hey Cam, wow you look great.' Cam blushed and said 'you too.' I wanted to watch it all but Cam and Josh looked at me with the 'mind your business' look. I looked back at my work grinning. 'Why are you smiling so much?' That was Conor he was looking at me.

I tried to not look at him and his eyes. 'Nothing.' I said aggressively, trying to make him get the message. 'Aren't you amazed and confused that I sat next to you and not some other person.'

'Amazed No, Confused Yes.' I said. It was confusing though. Why me? There were a lot of seats. 

'Well, It's because I think I don't need to do any work when I'm with you.' He said while passing his worksheet to me. I looked at it. I looked at him.

'Are you kidding me?' I said half laughing.

'No.' He said smiling again. I looked back down, because I was nearly getting lost in his eyes.  'I don't want to do it.' I said annoyed.

'Are you sure? I'll pay you.' He said taking his wallet out. I burst out laughing. Everyone looked at me but then went back looking at Matt and Rick. After 3 minutes I stopped laughing and looked at Conor. He was looking confused.

'I don't want you stupid money okay? Now let me do my work.' I said. He looked angry now.

'Do you know who I am?' Conor said.

'Yes, everyone does. But that doesn't change my decision. Actually nothing will.' I can't believe I called this guy amazing. He was an idiot. I finally saw something in him, that looked just like my dad. Anger.

'Look, there's a limit and you just crossed it.' He said trying not to yell but I'm sure everyone heard. What is his problem? I just told him I didn't want his money.  I looked at Cam who was giving me the 'your going to far' look. She was shaking head.

'I don't care.' I said to Conor. His face was red with anger.

'You will pay.' He said. The bell rang. I walked out of the class. I'm sure all eyes were on me. They looked like they felt sorry for me for what just happened. And for what might happen.

so how was school?' Mum said while making me pancakes.

'Don't ask.' I said. That one question just reminded me Conor. Was I being too mean to him? I mean, I could have said no nicely, I didn't mean to shout and make a scene. But he mistaked me for one of the other girls. And I hated him for that. He might have been a hot boy but I can't believe how much of an idiot he is. I thought If they're rich, they could atleast hire someone who can help them be smart. But no. All they care about it 'Does my hair look good?' or 'Oh god, I'm tired of that girl, I'm gonna break up with her and go out with her sister, shes hot.'

'It can't be that bad.' Mum said looking at me with concern. I really wanted to tell her about the Riches, but I know she will just bring my dad up again and I'm really not in the mood to talk about him. Actually to think about it, I'm never in the mood to think about him.

'Mum I'm tired, school was a headache so I'm going head to bed.' I said. I took my pancakes to bed. Mum didn't say anything. She knew I wasn't in the mood. I wasn't lying. School was a headache. After I did my big scene in History, I never saw the the Riches. But I did see some evil eyes on me. If they knew the full story, they would be on my side again. Before the Riches came, I was kind of popular. I had no enemies and this school used to be my team. Now that the Riches have came, everyone except for my friends have turned against me. Its scary. It's like your home has turned into a hotel, where anyone with the biggest room gets all the people's attention. That's not the best example but its not the worst.

I went up stairs and sat on my bed. I sighed. 'You will pay.' That made me laugh. Its actually funny when you think about it. I smiled when I remembered Conor's face when I said to him 'I don't care.' It was classic. My phone rang.

'Hey.'

'Hey Rubes, how you doing?' Josh said.

I sighed. 'Fine.'

'So are you coming tomorrow?'

'Yeah, why?'

'No, It's just, what happened in History class was pretty big.'

'Yeah, I know but I am not scared of some poshies.'

He laughed. 'Is that what your calling them?'

'Yeah I missed you so much, you know that?'

'Yeah, you too.' He said.' Oh, I have to go, mum making lunch.'

'Oh okay, see yaa.' I said, kind of dissapointed.

'Oh, and listen, Be careful tomorrow. I've heard the Riches once made someone commit suicide.'

'Really?' That made me more mad at them. 'Wow, thats.... look, I'll be careful don't worry.' I smiled and said bye.

This was creepy. This was creepy because the Riches were so similar to my dad. It scared me. When my mum was telling me about my dad, she told me that my dad didn't hit her. She hurt herself. She wanted to kill herself because that man was a nightmare that will torture her forever. But I stopped her. If it wasn't for me, she would have been gone and I would have lived in a care home till I was 18.

I cleared my head. I brushed my teeth, ate my pancakes and went to bed. I felt really weird, I don't know why. But I had to let go of it. I wasn't scared about tomorrow and I knew I would never back down.

The alarm clock went off for the 6th time.

'Okay Okay, I'll get up.' I said sleepily to the alarm clock. I slowly got up from the comfortable bed and went to take a shower.

After I was done, I looked outside to see if it was sunny. It was. I smiled and wore my blue shirt that said 'Hater's going to hate.'

And wore black jeans with it. I combed my hair and put it in a bun.

'Hey mum.' I said sitting on the stool in the kitchen.

'Good morning, what do you want 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.
