GYM
Honestly, what would I do without my map? I thought as I maneuvered my way, trying to locate the ladies locker room, when I stumbled into someone."Hello." I called out to her, "I think I'm lost.""Oh! Hi." She replied smiling. "Where are you headed?""The ladies locker room. I have gym in like ten minutes." I said, secretly admiring her long legs and auburn hair.She had warm hazel eyes and spotted freckles on her cheeks. Her nose were long and pointed, I wondered what her boyfriend went through whenever they tried to kiss. he probably had long nose like hers, I though and shrugged."Right." She grinned, drawing my attention to the braces she wore. "I'm headed there too. My name's Ruby.""I'm Steyn." I replied, thinking of how nice she sounded. "Nice to cross paths with you, Ruby.""I know your name." She smiled. "You probably didn't notice, but we shared the same homeroom and biology class together.""Not to make you feel bad." I said apologetically, after trying unsuccessfully to place her face in my head from homeroom. "I know I should recall meeting you, but it's not clicking."She laughed throatily. "It's alright. I'm not offended. Just for asking sake, you're new right?" She asked.I shrugged. "Ain't that obvious enough?" I replied grinning and pointing the map in her face for emphasis. "My mum is a private nurse, got transferred here from Russia.""That's cool. I'm originally from Gryffindor in New Jersey. I practically know everything about this little town." She wrinkled her nose like it was something bad. "I think we'd make good friends, you know?""Right." I replied, not thinking about anything. I didn't even know how long my mum was going to to stay here. We soon arrived at a door with the inscription 'LADIES LOCKER ROOM' boldly written in italics.Ruby pushed the door open and escorted me through an adjoining door."We are here." She sang, making me smile.It didn't take me moments to change into my gym clothes when I found my locker.It was your regular track suit and a sports bra that had the school's name crested on the left breast.When I was done putting it on, I smiled, realizing that I liked it. It was a proper and perfect fit. I looked good, if anything, dashing.I looked my self over again in the adjoining mirror. I wasn't much of a front person, but I had a backside that could put Billie to shame.I looked up to find Jenner staring back at me through the mirror. "There's not much to look at now, is there?" She sneered.Jenner."Hello Jenner." I replied simply."Move away skunk." She eyed me, "I'm in need of the mirror."I rolled my eyes and scoffed."There's always a plastic doll in every school. She and her gang." I muttered under my breath."What did you say?" She pulled me back by my sports bra."I said, there's always a plastic doll in every school, she and her group of fake friend's." I replied not mincing words. "Is there any problem with that? Or you want to add something."I caught on very fast when she raised up her hand to slap me.I held her hands in mid air and sneered in her face."Don't ever try that shit of thinking you can hit me ever again. Normally, I don't tolerate it, but for today, I'm willing to make an exception for you." I told her.Grabbing my sweatshirt, I threw it over my shoulders and grabbed my water bottle, walking out the door with Ruby behind me."No one ever stands up to Jenner like that. I mean no one." Ruby said, excitement laced in her tone. "That was cool.""If she goes around treating people like thrash, she should be put where she belongs." I told her. "Who's she anyway?'"Her daddy's a senator." Ruby told me."That's insane. It's not even enough reason for people to let her walk over them like they're Some piece of thrash." I told her. "I don't like it when people behave like asses. They should stick up their shit in their butt hole."She shrugged when we entered the Gym, letting her bag slide off her shoulders to the floor. "I've never really had the moral." She said quietly. "Not that I've ever been picked on. It's difficult to understand why Jenner and her croons pick on newbie's.""It's simple. No one's ever put them in their place." I told her quietly."Alright everyone." The coach said energetically like he had been waiting for this moment to happen. "Stand in a long file."We did as he said. Stand in a long file. Ruby was in my front.One thing that I didn't understand was the envious stares people where giving me. Did I have some heavy duty carat gold on my ear?"Pair up yourselves in two's. You and the person in front of you." He said again.Luckily for me, I had Ruby in my front which automatically made her my partner."Remember that whomever you pick remains your gym partner throughout the session." He warned."Do you have other friends?" I asked Ruby."I did. Emily Houston." She told me."Okay! It's time for warmups." He bellowed, taking out his whistle. "We'd start with jumping jack.""Emily Houston?" I asked again, trying to recall where I had heard that name. "What happened. She left?" I asked between breaths."Yeah. She left." Ruby smiled. "She was very intelligent and one of the brightest student we've ever had."And then it clicked. What I was trying to remember.She was the Emily Houston someone mentioned in class earlier this morning. There was more to this story. I could tell from the way Ruby talked about her without meeting my eyes."Right." I dropped the topic. "You're much of a sports person?" I asked her."Yeah." She replied, standing at attention to show me her toned body and trimmed stomach."How about you?" She asked me."That's like handing me a death sentence." I laughed. "I'm not much of a sports person, but I do excercise when necessary." I told her."That's about to change." She told me.I laughed. "And why is that?""You have me. All of my friends Gym." She told me.I liked her. I thought."Have you met the Grace's of Gryffindor?" She asked me."That's like what?" I asked."The Grace's of Gryffindor, duh!" She said like it was unbelievable. "You've been in this like for what?""Two weeks." I replied."That's enough to have heard about them.""That's cliche. Who calls anyone Grace's in this meta age?" I asked, looking amused. "Well, I haven't.""You have tho." She said."I have? Tell me." I asked. Curiosity sparkling in my eyes.RUBYThe first thing you'll probably notice about this girl was her height. I'd call it average, rather than tall.She was very pretty and smiled brightly. She had long black hair and an athletic body.She was free spirited and outgoing. My brothers would like this one, I thought.I was a bit surprised when she said she had not yet heard about the Grace's of Gryffindor.Nobody said that. I found this very interesting.The whole school knew about the Grace's of Gryffindor. Not only were they popular, they were the most handsome of all the guys in Gryffindor. To think they where my brothers. I shrugged it off, like it was some forbidden thought."Gryffindor is made from a long line of royalties. It's like a generational thing." I told her. "I'm mostly confused about it myself.""I'm sure I won't get confused." She replied, doing the high plank ."You've met walker?" I asked her."I have. We technically bumped into each other in the worst ways ever." She replied.I grinned, knowing what

STEYN."Today has to be one of the most confusing days of my life." I told Ruby, the frown lines on my face deepening to form wrinkles.Dragging my feet off to class was the second hardest thing I had to do today, because when Ruby and I got to the classroom, it felt like an eternity had passed.Thirdly, I couldn't concentrate.Snippets of my conversation with Ruby kept ensuing in my head.Right.People had history and culture, but this? Why would anyone name their children Walker I, Walker II, III, IV ,V?"WAIT!" I bursted out earning a few not so friendly stares my way and even Mrs. Bleuming paused whatever it was she was scribbling on the board."Yes, Steyn? You have an issue with what's on the board?" She asked, looking from the board to me."No." I replied hastily.She continued her scribbling, providing me with an opportunity to ask Ruby the pressing question in my mind."Let's say your parents are infatuated with Walker, which of course, they're not." I said, setting the pace fo
sweethearts.it's been such a long time, almost to infinity.Finally, we're here. Wining Walker is quite going to be a beautiful and complicated read. You can already feel it like I do, right? I'll be dropping a chapter tomorrow, but after that, I would only upload 3 new chapters each on Saturdays and sunday's due to my busy schedule during work days.I promise to make it worth your perseverance. Thanks for putting up with my inconsistency.Don't forget to comment, vote, and share.And, if you want a chapter dedicated to you, go ahead and say it.I'll find time to check out your comments!!thank you.XoXo.

STEYN Reminiscing, I made myself a cup of coffee and took it upstairs to my room to calm down my nerves.Fact about this thing called life is that you'll always meet people that differ. There would always be that one person who'd change you, the one who'd challenge you, one with a different perspective of everything you stand for.Whatever the situation was, letting myself get bullied wasn't among the plan. I was always the wrong person to be picked on.My legs raised high enough to reach the roof, I giggled, talking with Kylie over the phone."You slapped someone?" Kylie asked for the third time in seconds, like it was something unfathomable."I didn't think it would happen on my first day at school." I confided. "Think of it as a necessary evil.""Can you go over what led to this scene again?" Kylie pleaded."I won't." I replied curtly. "You're so into anything that's gossip." "This one is different. You just have some drama in your life after complaining nonstop about that place.
STEYNI awoke to the sound of my alarm ringing my ears off.The hardest part of sleeping was waking up and I'm not joking.It was already past eight and I was still dragging bed with my duvet. On a second thought, the house was awfully quiet.My mum was so tired that she slept in? Way to go! I grimaced.The thought of surprising her with the fact that I myself, can wake up without her chewing off my ears and tearing down the door with her complaints got me excited, and soon enough, I was on my feet.The plan was simple. I would use the bathroom, get ready for school and then make us breakfast. The idea of breakfast in bed for my mother popped up in my head a while later, and soon enough I found myself in the kitchen.I wasn't much of a make up person, do I didn't bother myself with that but the excitement building up in my insides was so much, I felt that I would use a little bit of mascara, eyeliner and lipglossBreakfast in bed.I strutted into the kitchen and made my way to the fr
STEYN"How could you leave like that?" Luke asked, taking long strides towards me."Can you stop getting on my nerves already?" I asked. "You really weren't joking about me waiting for you to answer your phone?""I wasn't." He replied."My bad, young master." I eyed him. "Next time, ask me to wait on you while you use the toilet.""Don't be so grumpy," He replied, draping his hands around my neck. "I'm clingy."I cringed. This guy was dragging attention our way and didn't seem to be bothered. I poked him on the ribs to get him to release his grip on me but to no avail."You can't say something like that." I replied, agitated. "Isn't your homeroom the other way?" I pointed in the opposite direction."Yes. But I'll see you to your class first. Walker isn't going to be in school today. So you're stuck with me for the rest of the day."I sighed. He was becoming overbearing."I'm not." I replied. "We share separate classes, lunch and we use different routes , how can we be stuck together?
STEYN.Sitting alone for all my classes, felt like an entire eternity had passed. Enduring the snide remarks and disgusting looks people threw my way was suffocating me.At that moment, I understood what it felt like to have a friend. Not just a friend, someone you could sit with and talk about random things, someone like Ruby.Not like I was bothered about the incessant things they were saying without even bothering to hide the fact, I was just a little bit concerned.First of all, I didn't like Walker in that manner. This was my redemption.I couldn't believe that Ruby and I talked for almost the entire day without exchanging contact. It was crazy.I got worried, thinking about why she wasn't in school because she didn't strike me as one who would skip school.My thoughts raced with various reasons as to why when I began hearing snippets of conversations from around me."I feel for jenner. That bitch just materializes out of nowhere and decides to sink her ship with Walker?" One sa
