Ok, so I re-drew that picture of Ruth....so ererrrr...yeah

Ok.....on with the story!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

This was the noise that woke up Ruth in the morning. With a large sigh, she squinted her eyes open, only to see the ungodly hour of six a.m.. Groaning, the teen rolled over in her bed and buried her head in the pillow.

" GET UP WE HAVE SCHOOL!!" proclaimed the voice of her younger bother from the other side of the door. Hissing at the news, Ruth burrowed herself deeper into the bright colored covers, and ignored Carson. She had had a long two days and there was no desire whatsoever for her to get up....but apparently Venom was on Carson's side, and started pestering the small teen, in hopes of successfully getting her to school. Chuckling evily, the black symbiote surfaced to her skin and covered her upper body.

Although Ruth could mentally hear him, and feel his gooey existence, she still ignored him and stayed in bed. Scoffing, Venom shot her into a upright sitting position, using the momentum to send her flying out of bed. Landing on the floor with the loud thump, the burnett curled into a ball, now being exposed to the chilly air after spending several hours under the warm covers.

" We need to get ready" the alien announced to the teen as she rubbed the heavy bags under her eyes.

" Leave me....leave me to die." Ruth moaned sarcasticly from her place on the floor, avoiding the symbiote's command.

" We need to get ready for school Ruth....the bus will arrive in thirty minutes."

" Leave me be you parasite!" Growled the tired, but moody teen. From inside her head she heard Venom growl.....and knew she was screwed. Not even a second's pause, and she felt herself being jerked up into a standing position and was marched to her dresser.

" WE ARE NOT A PARASITE!!! APOLOGIZE! NOW!"

" Ok....Jeez....sorry." she mumbled as she slipped on something more school appropriate. Now clothed, Ruth packed her school bag, and was about to walk out her closed door when and felt a black goo, wrap around her in a jacket like fashion, which surprisingly looked normal. Confused, the teen examined the alien article curiously.

" Yo....V? What's this for?" She questioned, not sure what to think.

" It's a "we" jacket....so you don't get cold!"

" Oh....thanks. That's actually really thoughtful." Ruth chimed as she headed out of her room. Venom only nodded and remained silent as she left the house to get on the bus, which was filled with many, many hormonal teenagers. Huffing like the intervert she was, Ruth sat in the back of the bus, mostly for the reason that Venom would more then likely ask to eat someone's brain....of liver...or something twisted along those lines. And she was right. About halfway to the school some older jock made fun of her jacket, claiming she was going emo. Ignoring the taunts and laughs, Ruth looked out the Window, suffering through Venom's many demands.

" We are going to eat them!"

" No we aren't!" She whispered in a soft, low voice, praying that no-one could hear her.

" We are going eat their heads and pile their bodies neatly on the side of the road."

" Venom no"

" Venom yes! Also we saw that jock that crushed your sad heart. We can dismantle him....he's only three seats away!"

Ruth groaned and his her head in her hands, blocking out the rest of the world until the bus stopped at the school.

As the yellow vehicle slowed to a stop, the doors at the front swung open, and the burnett watched as the school bus quickly emptied. Being the last to exit, Ruth slowly trudged onto the sidewalk, where thankfully Emma was waiting.

" Nice jacket." The blonde commented with a quick head nod. Smiling quickly, the darker haired senior pulled on the collar and smirked.

" Thanks, got it a couple days ago....kinda appeared from nowhere..."

" Well....it's very biker like. " Emma added. " Probably be nice for dirt biking."

" hmmmm yeeaaaah....." Ruth mumbled as the two headed for class. Entering the building, Emma noticed the time and grabbed Ruth's wrist, taking off into a sprint.

" CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! We're going to be late if we don't hurry!!"

Raspberring, the burnett lightly giggled as she was literally dragged to her class. Actually arriving on time, Ruth smiled to herself as she sat in her seat

" Perhaps this will be a good day for once..." she thought happily. Taking out her next book, Ruth had no-one idea that what she said was farther then the truth....much much farther....

~

After that class had ended, and the next, Ruth was absolutely positive that it was going to be a good day. Walking down the crowded hallway, the teen brushed past bundles of clicks as she headed to P.E. but, like any other non cool person in her school, she was stopped by a cool person....and that person so happened to be someone she disliked....

Kayla....

Kayla was the head cheerleader, who had taken a liking to picking on her after Josh's asked her to be his girlfriend.....right in front Ruth.

So to sum it up, the captain of the cheerleading squad had been terrorizing her for the past three months and the small teen was really really sick of it.

" Hey Dork! What's up with the biker jacket? It's cute."

" Thanks?" Ruth whispered in confusion as she tried to brush past her and her squad. But it was all in vain, seeing that a small group of blonde cheerleaders blocked her path.

" It's cute enough that maybe people won't look at your ugly face!" Kayla sneered, flashing Ruth a wicked grin. " But then again, whatever you wear just makes you look dumpy." The other teen crackled obnoxiously. Ruth only rolled her eyes and shoved her way though the hoard of snobby teenagers.

" Jerks." Whispered the burnett in a hushed voice as she entered the gym.

" HOW DARE THOSE MORTALS TALK TO US LIKE THAT!!!!" Venom shouted in an enraged voice. " THEY ARE SO DEAD!!!"

Immediately, Ruth felt something tingle behind her eyes and figured it was caused by Venom.

"There's no need to be dramatic, they do this every day." She sighed, glancing over that the group of teen that were pointing at her and laughing. " Every single day...."

" And you put up with this crap?!"

In the distance, the P.E teacher blew her whistle and shouted for the kids to start running laps. Breaking into a even jog, Ruth nodded at her alien friend's comment and frowned.

" Yes I put up with their crap....that's because no-one cares....except Emma....but she would probably murder someone, and I'm not ready to flash testify for her."

" And this is why Emma's our friend."

" Yep." The teen stated bluntly, then quickened her pace as the boy in font of her shot her a funny look.

" People are going to think I'm crazy taking to you!" Ruth hissed as she passed a group of passing girls.

"Don't worry....we'll just eat them. Boom problem solved."

" We can't just going around eating people we don't like."

" Fine....don't eat them....we'll just neatly remove their head and internal organs from their body." The symbiote suggested to his host, who only face-palmed at the idea. But soon, the two's awkward conversation was interrupted by the teacher, who informed the kids that they were going to do the one thing everyone hated.....

Rope climbing....

Which was something Ruth was very bad at....
