******************************************

Ruby looked so uncomfortable,all she wanted to do is leave and just stay at her house. She never even wanted to come here in the first place but, she can't do anything about it. Since,a certain friend won't take 'no' for an answer.

"Ruby! Try this on!" Guinevere called out happily and showed her a Light pink floral dress,its pretty but Ruby didn't want it as it isn't her colour nor does she wanted to try it on.

"Sorry Guin..I don't think that's my colour. I think it represents it more on you than me." Ruby said the last part faintly,though her friend heard it and approached her to give her a hug.

"Don't worry,I'm here..I'm here,I know you didn't want to come here but you need to. You promised us girls,plus...We will be having a girl's day. Promised!" Guinevere cheered while rubbing her friend's back,giving some support and affection. Ruby felt like crying,though her eyes couldn't produce anymore tears—the only thing that she could feel,was the pain on her heart. Feeling it cracked little by little till it completely shattered like glass.

Guinevere suddenly pulled away from the hug,grabbing Ruby's hand.

"Don't worry,I'm here. Beside,I'm 100% sure that when they see you. They will regret everything what they said and done, I'm going to make sure of that. Now,Try the dress cause its time to be Fabulous—Especially since we are taking over that Fab Bish's beauty!" Ruby laughed since she knew that the Fab Bish Guinevere's referring to—Is non-other than their bitchy Queen Professor Alice.

"Thanks for making me laugh Guin." Guinevere smiled that she gave Ruby another hug.

"Aww~ Of course Darling! I was born with Talent~" Ruby laughed again as she took the dress and examine it.

"Ok..Ms.Talent,I'll try on this dress. If I don't like it,your gonna have to wear that 'thing'." Ruby said while going inside the changing room.

"Hey! Ruby! I thought we were friends~Ah! The irony~! How could you treat me like this~?! Was I not good enough~?!" Guinevere began to dramatically rant about being broken and hurt,Ruby could even hear her sliding down the door of the changing room.

"Sorry~Guin~ But,You knew where I got it from~" Guinevere dramatically ranted again,even laughing to herself for being so dramatic..though she didn't care less,cause as long as her friend is happy,she is happy.

*Knock! *Knock!*

"Coming!" A fainted voice said while opening the door to revealed a person in a tuxedo with a companion.

"Ah! Popol And Kuppa! You're here already! Well come in."  Popol and Kuppa entered the person's house,then was lead to the couch.

"Go join Granger,Freya and Zilong on the living room,there just sitting on the couch." The person said while directly going up to the stairs.

Popol and Kuppa approached the 3 and took a seat beside the available space,which is beside Granger. Good,at least it wasn't around the two lovebirds.

"So we're just waiting for The two?" Popol asked while rubbing Kuppa's head who's sleeping beside him. Granger only nodded his head on the question, making It felt awkward.

Not long before,they heard footsteps going down. Although,it wasn't the sound of 2 people walking but a sound of 4 people. The person arrived first,while other 2 people where pulling the last person to join in.

The 4 people sitting on the couch had there mouth's open,after seeing the last person.

"Everyone! Meet Our Prom Queen Ruby!" Guinevere proudly introduced as Ruby just gave a shy smile and a little wave. Seeing her in a very dark midnight blue with blue roses combine, with a matching rose eyepatch around—made it even cooler and cute. She's also wearing gloves that reach half-way through her elbows that has floral designs.

"I can't believe this was the outcome! She look so beautiful,I might cry." Selena chimed in while dramatically wiping her tears.

"It only take like a little blush and some lip gloss then 'Wow',we have a polished Gem." Lunox joined in while hugging her partner,as she was busy "wiping her tears".

"Dang Popol~ You had a lucky pick! If I had known Ruby to wear like this,I would've asked her out on Prom! No offence Love." Zilong said the last part to Freya,who only nodded.

"I mean, you are not wrong. IF I had known for Ruby wearing like this...I would've asked her out first than you." Freya said making Zilong almost choke on his spit.

"HEY!" Everyone laughed,except Granger who's just smiling..though his gaze were locked at Ruby. Guinevere took noticed of this and approached him,blocking his sight of Ruby.

"I told you Granger,Do you have something to tell to the 'Gem'~?" Guinevere winked,making the Emo male blushed. Before he could go back to his senses,Guinevere,surprisingly..had a strength to grab him and pushed him close to Ruby.

"Say it." Guinevere commanded,the male gulped and looked at Ruby's confused cute expression.

"I—Uh—You look Dazzling and all—Ack!" Granger was cut off when he felt a pain on his hip,he glared at Guinevere—who just glared back.

"Do it Properly." Guinevere commanded again. Granger just sighed then once again,looked at Ruby.

"Uhh—You look more than dazzling. The colour of your clothing suits you,like the clear Sapphire midnight. The way your hair is styled with Dark blue roses,made you look like the Goddess of Midnight...In short,Amazingly Beautiful." Ruby blushed then gave out a small 'thanks',that's when her attention turned to look at Popol and Kuppa.

"POPOL! KUPPA! HELLO!" Ruby cheered,Popol was surprised but already came back to his senses. Once Kuppa woke up,it immediately pounced on Ruby with great joy,which the female could only laugh as she affectionately stroked the wolf's head.

While Popol and Ruby are interacting,the 6 could only watch in 'awe'.

"I told you Granger,You should've accepted Ruby before moving on and Starting a relationship with me." Guinevere said. The male went silent as he could only watched Ruby.

"Do you think I still have a chance?" Granger asked his girlfriend. Yes, Girlfriend.

"If she accepts you again,if Yes..I'm ready to break our relationship for her happiness. She didn't deserve to be hurt." Guinevere gave a smile,the male knew that she was genuine of her decision and would never change it. He looked at Ruby again,he doesn't know if he wanted it or not. Guess he needed to find out for himself,he's even prepared for the Aftermath of what's going to happen.

———————————

"Guys! We're here!" Zilong announced as he stopped the car at a perfect parking space,everyone woke up from their little nap.

Zilong first got out of the car to open the door for his partner to come out. After Freya was out of the car,He then opened the door for his friends to come out. The first one was Granger,who escorted his partner Guinevere out of the car,next was Selena who escorted Lunox,followed lastly by Popol and Kuppa,who did the same to Ruby. Zilong closed the door of the car and locked it while Freya locked her arms around Zilong's which was followed by the others.

"Will you be Ok Ruby? If you don't feel comfortable,just approached us." Guinevere said,Ruby nodded her head. Although,they could sense her being uncomfortable.

"You'll be fine,just remember. We're here." Freya reminded,Ruby smiled knowing that they'll be there for her and believe that she can handle it.

Zilong and Freya went first to enter,Followed by the others,last one to enter was Ruby and Popol with Kuppa. Everyone were gathered,although...something caught there eyes,something catchy..which resulted in a bunch of bees buzzing around.

"Who's that little girl in a Dark Blue dress?" One buzzed.

"I dunno but,she's gorgeous." Another one buzzed.

"Is she royalty? I mean...She's wearing a Royal Dark Blue dress?" Then another one.

"Is she one of the Baroque's Relatives?"

"No.. That's impossible...I think..."

"But she's with a Baroque?"

"She's like the Goddess of Midnight."

"If she gets to be prom Queen,I don't have the courage take her spot."

"Why is she wearing an Eye patch? It even had a Dark Blue Flower on it,not that I'm judging cause it suits her."

"She's even friends with the lesbian couple."

And so much more.

They could hear the bee gossips and murmurs,mostly about Ruby. She felt a little bit of her pride raised,but at the same time..she felt a little overwhelmed cause she didn't want nor meant to attract unwanted attention.

They sat on their seats to chat and interact, when someone wanted to have a talk.

"Yo! Guys!" A cheerful voice called out to them,turning there heads to see the owner of that voice.

"Oh..Hello there Claude,what brings you here?" Freya spoke first.

"Just wanted to join in the conversation,plus..who's that little beauty over here~? Hey there! My name's Claude,please to meet you." Claude said while approaching Ruby,to which surprises her or he's just stupid? The lesbian couple and Zilong could only laugh,making Claude confuse,The rest joined in while Granger just looked at Claude with a blank expression,while the 'Little Beauty' could only smile—feeling bad that there making fun of him. That even caught everyone's attention on who are laughing this loud? Only to ignore it when they saw Claude,thinking that he might've done something stupid.

"Seriously?!" Zilong wheezed while banging on the Table. Selena almost choked on her spit for laughing too much,Lunox was covering her face as her laugh was becoming unwomanly,unlike Guinevere who's showing her uncharacteristic side of her.

"Uhh? Did I miss something?" Claude a little while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yo!...Ahahaha..*Wheeze*..I have a question...Ahahaah!..*Wheeze*..." Zilong started but could barely talk for laughing too much.

"Uh..Yeah man..?" Claude replied not really sure of what's happening.

"Do you..eheh..k-know..Ahahehehe..any girls that...Ahah..has like..,Ahah..Blonde hair,Emerald..Eheh..Eyes? Small and cute,like a porcelain doll? Plus,wearing an eyepatch.."Zilong gave a wink to Ruby,which the maiden just blushed a little.

"Uhh...Blondes? There are a lot of blondes here..Silvanna,Lunox,Rafaela,Freya,Fanny,Kimmy,Lolita,Masha,Odette,Ruby,Layla,Vale,Alucard,Lancelot,Harley,Bruno.." Some of them were laughing more,since the guys who have blonde hair where mentioned.

"HEY! I AM NOT A WOMAN! YOU FUCK!" Alucard yelled,when he heard his name called out.

"But your blonde~" Claude teased,only to dodge something that almost hit his face.

"The hell dude,I was just messing with you." Another object was thrown at him,surprisingly,by another person.

"I AM NOT A WOMAN! YOU INSOLENT RAT!" Lancelot yelled,cause he is just a beautiful man.

Another one was thrown,which was a soccer ball and they all knew who belonged to it.

"Fuck you." Bruno could only say and left with Alpha.

"Geez,He's literally a Bottom." Claude said,but not so loud for Bruno to hear. They could only laugh and also be in 'aww' for Bruno and Alpha's relationship.

"Anyways,What about the girls with Emerald or green eyes?" Zilong asked again.

"Hmm~...Well..There's Layla,Ruby,Vexanna,Faramis,Harley,Akai and Guinevere.." Claude answered, Flying objects were thrown at him, which he easily dodged.

"WE ARE NOT A GIRL!" The boys yelled out. They all laughed while ignoring them at the same time.

"What about short but cute like a porcelain doll?" Zilong ask once again.

"If its short then,we have Alice(Jawhead),Change,Lylia,Angela,Harley,Harith,Barats,Ruby,Wanwan,Guinevere,Popol,Cyclops and Nana.." Claude answered while dodging a big object that was thrown at him,he even had to run away from the range of Cyclops Ultimate. He's also running away from Kuppa's attack when Popol ordered him.

"Cute like a porcelain doll? If your referring to middle schoolers then its Harley,Popol,Harith,Barats,Nana,Change,Lylia and Nana." Claude continued while dodging Harley's cards,while getting out of Harith's range attack.

"But if its almost the same grade as us,then its Guinevere,Wanwan and Ruby." Claude continued.

"What about the eyepatch?" Zilong asked,smirking.

"Only Lesley and Ruby." Claude answered.

"Now do the Math and see which of the people are we referring to." Zilong ordered, Claude immediately realized as he looked at the said 'Little Beauty', His mouth went wide open.

Before he could shout for Ruby's name in shock,Guinevere beat him to it by punching him in the gut. Claude fell to the ground, clutching his stomach.

"Shh~We don't want unwanted attention now don't we?" Guinevere said,her voice had a threatening tone,making the male gulp down and nod his head. When Guinevere stood up,Claude followed in precaution not only to evade Guinevere's next attack but also to the other males around him. He looked at Ruby in such shock, making the girl uncomfortable.

"uhh..Hi..Claude?" Ruby started to speak,just to break the awkward tension.

"Uhh—Hey,Ruby..Didn't expect you to dress up like that and all,not that I'm judging as you look fascinating. I'm also shock that your partner for prom is Popol,wanna be my partner instead?" Claude took out his hand for Ruby to accept, only to have it rejected by someone for her.

"I'm warning you, I'm aiming my spears at you." Popol chimed in,holding out his spear to which it shouldn't be allowed,cause its a Prom Night.

Claude put his hands up,playfully whistling.

"Woah! Chill there man,Just wanted to ask out your partner for a dance." Claude reasoned,going a step back away from Popol's spear.

"I'm her partner for the night,Go to your partner instead or I'll call Kuppa to bite your baby maker." And with that,Claude was no where to be found. Ruby gave a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Popol." Popol smiled as he whistled for Kuppa to come back,since he doesn't know where did his partner go again. Once Kuppa arrived,they immediately began to interact with each other. It was a matter of time too, since its dance time, meaning they needed to grab their partners and dance at the dance floor, they can also switch partners, depending on who they wanted to be with, once the music changes.

"Care to dance Mi'lady?" Popol asked with Kuppa wagging its tail side by side. Ruby smiled and accepted his request,taking his hand as they went to the dance floor. Other people joined,especially her friends. First,they did a slow waltz—spinning and just enjoying their company. Once it was time to switch partners, Ruby gave a spun before someone swooped her off her feet and taking her hand.

"G-granger...?" She looked at her new partner as they continued to dance.

"Hello Ruby.." He gave her a twirl before they went back to waltzing.

"Um..Hello...Glad I'm your partner huh?" Ruby joke though they both knew that it had a little Truth in there.

"Yeah..Guess I'm lucky,huh?" Ruby gave a soft giggled. Granger was having mixed emotions as they dance,it felt like it was only them on the dance floor,he wanted her,needed her and dancing with her was a bliss...He wanted to keep dancing with her and her only till the death of them as there souls will forever dance in grace and Love. He could also feel the guilt inside of him,how he rejected her,how she accepted it while having tears rolled down her beautiful face,how she was heartbroken every time he and Guinevere were always together. He had a fun time Guinevere at that time,she was everyone's ideal man anyways. But what about Ruby? What made her became ideal for him in the first place? Don't get him wrong, she and Guinevere are nothing alike but it just made him like Ruby.

He even witnessed how she was publicly humiliated by her crush, making her run away in shame—covering her face. He wanted nothing more than to punch that bastard's face for that,instead,he ran to where Ruby went. As he was walking,he saw a girl in a red Hoodie,approaching her while hearing her cries that immediately made his heart flow with sadness,pity and rage. Upon going closer,he was now frozen in spot and his heart started to beat like crazy....She looked so beautiful,so pure,like an innocent little girl. He wanted nothing more than to comfort her and wipe those tears on her innocent crying face, so he did and did not regret it.

After that incident,he was becoming more and more enamoured to her,for the past 2 months. He loved her,from the bottom of his heart. He did and wanted to confess,but would fail as he was worried that she might reject him,thiking that 'He's just a friend,who's there when you needed one'. Though,he didn't knew that she liked him too. So,they stayed away from each other..distancing themselves,they could only give out short and awkward interactions,lying to themselves that they weren't meant to be. This happened for 3 weeks till someone had to break it, all for love.

"Granger..." Ruby called out his name, her golden hair flowing through the winds—standing in front of her was him.

"Yes..Ruby?" They couldn't hide their fear anymore,its now or never.

"I..I..I..Like You! Not as a friend! Will you go out with me?!" Ruby bowed her head down,since she was afraid on what would be his reaction. The silence was overwhelming her that she's almost having a panic attack.

"I..Ruby..I—" Granger's mind was screaming to say it,'Say that you like her already!'..She confessed! 'Say it! Don't be chicken!' and so much more.

"I..I'm sorry,but I like Guinevere. I'm sorry Ruby." His mind, heart and emotions started screaming at him.

'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND SAY THE TRUTH! IDIOT!'

"I..I see..I mean,Guinevere's the very most ideal type. So..I hope you two get together,since you guys look so perfect with each other." And with Ruby ran,to cry again. Granger just stood there as he watch her run,like a helpless little girl who has lost everything..not only she,but himself. He wanted to shoot himself dead for that mistake,he wanted to turn back time to correct himself. Didn't even have the energy to catch up to her, because he kept lying to himself and this was now the price that he had to pay.

A few weeks has passed,he and Guinevere became a couple. It was a huge gossip,since its a pretty rare combo. Even if they did became a couple,he couldn't forget the moments he had with Ruby. He was suppose to be the light by her side and to love her whole. He also never even missed the chance to see how Ruby was doing,it was terrible—she looked so outcast,abandoned,broken and always staying under the shadows,avoiding the light. It wasn't only him who made her like this, but SOME other people whom he despises.

Ruby would always wear her usual Red Hoodie jacket while having half of her face covered by her golden hair. People started to gossip about her though, it wasn't a good one. Someone even made a "joke",if she was doing witchcraft or why being so edgy when she could just end her life any time. Unfortunately for that person,someone gave them a beating of a life.

"What garbage are you spewing,you insolent insect! How dare you say that to my friend?! Did your parents raised you to be like that?!" Silence filled the room as everyone started to gossip and question what is that person doing? All that person did, was scoff at them while looking down at them like a bunch of worthless slaves.

It was non-other than,Guinevere Baroque. She would be there for her friend,comfort her as a friend and just making her happy. Granger was surprised when Guinevere lost her cool, though he could never blame her..she was holding out her anger for a long time, that someone had to push the wrong buttons again—it was the last call of her patience.

When they became a couple,which he clearly didn't knew how? But it happened though, it didn't had a good start. Since Guinevere,would try and get them together,knowing about her friend's and Granger's love—she even got them both on a blind date a bunch of times which failed miserable cause Ruby had some "urgent things" to do and left. She gave up when Ruby confronted her on what she was doing and told her to love him, though she persisted that Ruby should be in her place.

———————————

Before they could switch partners again,Granger whispered something on Ruby's ear. She looked at him in confusion,once she thought about it,giving a nod before they separated. Granger held her hand tight but Ruby let it go as she made her way far away from him. The male knew 'why' but didn't question much about it.

He went dancing with Lunox, even making sure that a sadistic dark elf won't come for his head.

***End Of Chapter***

I would say..End of Part 1 but meh...Lol.

There will be a part two and holy shit..I should make this longer. Maybe on the next part.
