CHAPTER 4

Harvey took her bags while she followed form behind. She locked the door and followed her bother outside where she really found her friends busy discipline some students.

“Seriously guys, just let the kids go,” she said laughing.

“You would be shocked to know what they did,” Nancy said.

“Tell me,” she said full of curiosity.

“They were in the basketball lockers making out. Can you believe that at this hour?” Nancy said.

“Come one, just let them go,” Ruby said.

“You are lucky she is merciful. You can go now,” Nancy said releasing them.

Ruby looked at the freshmen and smiled.

“Next time don’t get caught,” she said and they thanked her before they left.

“Come on, that was fun,” Alex said.

“I know but it’s getting late and why resorts to making them suffer. It’s not like you all never made out there,” Ruby said.

“We did but…”

“Leave the kids alone and sorry for being late,” she apologized.

“We understand. So where are we going tonight?” Jack asked, already in the mood for some fun.

“I can’t go anywhere tonight. I need to finish my assignment, so I will head home straight,” Ruby said and they all looked at her.

“I almost forgot. We need to finish it quickly if we want to be free next week,” Alex said.

They all agreed and didn’t say a word since they didn’t want Harvey to find out about what was really going on.

“I will see you tomorrow guys,” Ruby said and hugged her best friends’ goodbye before getting into her car.

Her friends did the same and she watched them as they all drove off in their own directions.

Ruby and Harvey were siblings and they lived in the same house but they still went to school in their own cars. It was good that way, she respected one’s privacy. She smiled at her younger brother and he sent her a text. She opened it and smiled as she read the contents.

“Let’s race. The winner will make a wish.”

“Deal,” she replied.

This was what was normal in her daily life. They played this game so many times and the winner was always determined at the end.

The two of them raced from the school until they reached their house. The guards even knew that the gates should always be open at moments like this because they will always speed in the compound.

Harvey won that round and she smiled as she gets off her car.

“Did you have to drive like that?” she asked him as she took her bags from the car.

“If you play a game you should play to win,” Harvey told her with a smile.

“I hate you,” Ruby said even when she knew it was all a lie.

“I know you don’t.”

The butler took their bags and they began to chase each other around the compound when her mother showed up and screamed both their names.

“Must she always do that every time?” Ruby asked as she stopped.

“That’s her way of welcoming back us from school,” Harvey said with a smile.

“I don’t understand you at all,” Ruby said and began to walk towards her mother. She gave her a hug and kissed her cheek.

“Don’t frown like that, you will age quickly,” Ruby said.

“How can I not, when you two always do this daily? Aren’t you scared of losing your lives?”

“Sorry mother, we won’t do it again,” Harvey said as he kissed both of her cheeks.

“You always say the same thing every time.”

Ruby and Harvey dragged their mother inside and battered her up until she forgot that a few minutes before she was angry. This was one of the reasons why she loved her mother so much, she forgave easily.

She was an easy going person who dislikes being angry and just wanted to be happy. With her and her step father, you wouldn’t see them quarrelling at all even when her step father was a bit older than her mother.

She just loved them so much and now she was wondering exactly what her brother was going to wish for since he had won this race.
