Dead. That one word describes Ruby Clare's life. Ironic right? I would say so. You may be thinking 'oh she's just exaggerating' but honestly, I'm not. You try being bullied since you started school, your dad leaving you at three to pay the bills, buy food, and buy your rude stuck up alcoholic mother, her, well, alcohol. She had to deal with that and struggle to keep her grades up and held up three part time jobs so she could do it all. Trust me when I say you would feel dead too.

        Surprisingly however she is the most real and alive person out there. Through all of her torment at school and at home, she hasn't said a word about it or shown that it bothers her. She just ignores it. Don't you wish you could be like that? She's not one of those people who will quietly sit in the corner and cry over her father leaving. She's the one that will say if you ask her " he didn't care about us, I don't care about him." though, if you look hard and long enough, you can see that she actually does care, she just is too strong emotionally to let you see that.

        Ruby has curly crimson red hair that is extremely rare and makes you think that you are looking at a sunset. Along with her bright emerald eyes, she is a natural beauty. She just don't realize that. However knowing that she'll only be made fun of more due to her hair she wears a brown wig to cover it. The color of mud and the original color of Sylvia Harrison's hair.

          Sylvia Harrison is the queen bee herself. With her dyed beach blond hair and her blue colored eye contacts. She just so happens to be the reason of Ruby's torment. Her bully. She's one of those people who remind me of an elementary school drop off parking lot: 1) kiss and go, that's what she does. 2) to me she's just dirt but she treats everyone else like it. 3) I want Ruby to just walk all over her (not literally but that would be nice to see... sorry).

        Onto Faux (foe). Faux Fox is ruby's friend. She has curly black hair and bright red highlights. Not as bright as Ruby's hair though. She's thin but not a sickly/ teenage girl thin, more like a fit healthy kind of thin. As I said before, she was Ruby's only friend. That is, until she met me. My name is Nove. It's Italian for 9 and I'm the one telling the storey. This is 'Nove Stelle'
