I opened the door to my house and my older cousin, Connor, gave me a hug as I walked in.
"Hey, Rubes."
"Die in a hole." I told him as I got up and walked to my room.
"Don't be so mea-" then he just stopped talking and I heard paper getting picked up. "Who made this?"
I turned and saw a design that Rose made for me. It was an old one I had colored it and laminated for safe keeping (Ruby asks Rose to make designs and when she gets them, she colors them and laminates them).
"Give it!" I yelled as I leaped over to Connor, grabbing his shirt's collar.
"Tell me who made it and I will."
"My friend, Rose. Now give it back!" I grapped the paper and I was practically threw onto the floor.
I grabbed my bookbag and headed upstairs to my room. When I got there, I texted the group chat, where there were conversations left and right.
"Hey guys." I sent out.
"Finally the she joins us!" Jaclyn replied.
"Oh cram it." I sent her.
"Ladies ladies there is a lot of time to fight but we gotta talk about what Jaclyn did." Noah sent out of the blue.
"It's not that important!" Jaclyn protested.
"You actually spoke with ya crush😏." Ty sent.
"Oh screw off." it was now I thought that Jaclyn's face was burning red.
"Well maybe it's an advancement." Zoey sent.
"End me." Jaclyn said as I started a group call.
Everyone answered the call.
"What's up Germany, America, Ca- wait Canada's not here." Noah said with his hair no longer in a ponytail.
"Dude, I mean it, get decorations for your room." Zoey said.
"Z,(slang they use to say Zoey) where's Ally(slang for Allison)?" Ty asked.
"She's in her room." Zoey replied.
Then, Connor bust into my room and yelled,
"Bonsai!"
I twitched my eyes.
"Who's that, Ruby?" Rose asked as the first thing she's said so far.
Connor walked over to me and saw my video call.
"Who is he and why is he so cute?" Zoey said as she stared at Connor.
"Cute? Me? I feel more love from you than I do from my little cousin!" he said as he snatched my phone. "You're so adorable I could just eat you up!"
"Why are you fangirling over him? He looks like Freddy from the Scooby Doo gang." Noah said.
"Yeah, he does." Jaclyn said as she began to laugh.
"You all are rude!" Connor said as he walked out of my room.
"I hate him so much." I said.
"I can see why." Rose replied.
"Rose, you have a heart of bronze and gold(how they say that someone's nice and mean)." Ty said.
