Ruby’s P.O.V.
It’s after-school. Chad wasn’t at Algebra, Physics, or IT… so I walk into Mr. Raid’s office.
“Yes, Ruby?”
“I would like to know what happened to Chad.”
“Ruby. He was expelled.”
“What? Why?”
“He’s been expelled because he keeps bullying you.”
“Could’nt you have given him detention?”
“He’s had detention 279 times. That’s more than enough”
“What about suspension?”
“He’s been suspended 32 times. Again, that’s more than enough.”
“Expelliation was the last thing I wanted!”
“Expelliation is not a word.”
“Whatever.” I say. I turn around, and walk out of the office. I run back to my house, and put on my outfit, walk the block to Alaska’s.
Alaska’s P.O.V.
Ding-Dong.
I open the door.
“Ruby! Come on in.”
“Kay.”
“Hey, Ruby?”
“Yes?”
“Mind if I call you Rubes?”
“Sure! Can I call you Laska?”
“Okay, just not in school.”
“Yes. Nice house, by the way.”
She goes and changes. Again.
And she comes back out wearing a pleated black skirt, a white top, a fluro yellow denim jacket and black leather boots. She looks amazing.
I plug in my purple electric guitar, and plug in the camera.
“You ready?”
“Yep.”
I start the recording .
“Hey, I’m Alaska Merino.”
“and I’m Ruby Croft.”
“We’re both from Linden Grange, Ohio.”
“And this is our cover of Kiss You by One Direction.”
I start playing.
After the song’s finished, Rubes says:
“If you’re still watching this, I love you. Follow us on Twitter!”
I say:
“And good morning…. Or good afternoon…. Or good night… Whatever time of day it is when you’re watching this, Have a good day!”
I stop the recording.
“Shall we watch it?”
“Yes.”
As it turns out, that’s actually a really good cover! Our voices complement each other so well!
“What should we call the Video?”
“Ruby Croft and Alaska Merino – Their cover of Kiss You by One Directi0n.”
“Okay.”
Ruby logs in to her you tube channel, and we upload it.
It’s spreading like wildfire.
I’m not even joking. Within twenty minutes it’s already got 568 views, and the comments are all nice.
And then I find a comment from Liam Payne’s you tube account.
