The one (Ruel fanfic) {ON HOLD}

7

Friday came around quickly and before I knew it I was getting ready for this party. I'd chosen a black miniskirt with a silver zip that ran the whole length of it and a red bralette. I was already uncomfortable so I settled for my black and white superstars.

"Mom" i calmed running down the stairs

"Yes darling" she said appearing from her room

"Can I borrow your long coat?" I asked, "the one that reaches my mid thigh"

"Of course" she smiled disappearing into her room

I waited outside while she found it

"Thank you" I said as she handed it to me

"Isla" She said and I stopped on the stairs

I turned to her

"You look great" she smiled

"Thank you" I grinned, "gotta look decent for my first teenage party"

"That you do" Mom laughed

I ran back up to my room to do my makeup, something I literally never wore. Once I'd done I threw my curled hair up into a messy bun and I'd take it down when we arrived. I heard the buzzer for the gate go from the device in the house and pulled on the coat.

"Mom, Ruel's at the gate" I shouted, "I'm leaving"

"Okay" I heard her shout back

I ran out the house and down to the gate.

"Hey pretty boy" I smiled getting in

Ruel smiled as I did up my seatbelt but his gaze lingered in me for a little longer

"May I help you?" I asked raising my eyebrow at him

"Y-Y-you look gorgeous" he stuttered

I smiled wider

"You don't look so bad yourself pretty boy" I said bumping his shoulder, "plus you don't actually know what I'm wearing"

"I don't need to know, you look gorgeous no matter what" he said starting to drive

I blushed

"Whatever you've got to tell me must be bad if you're sweet talking me this much" I mumbled

Ruel was quiet

"What is it Ruel?" I asked

"I haven't been completely honest with you, about who I am" he said quietly

"What is it?" I asked again

"I'm a singer, quite a well known one at that" he said

"As in an album selling person that goes on tours and stuff?" I asked in surprise

Ruel nodded

"Yes" He said

I was quiet for a minute

"Why didn't you tell me when we first met?" I asked quietly

"I didn't want you to treat me any differently" he whispered

"But why would I do that, that's not me" I said

"Well it happens all the time, how am I supposed to tell one fame hungry person for another" he exclaimed in frustration

I didn't answer and Ruel sighed

"It all makes sense now" I muttered

"What?" He questioned

"Kimberly doesn't go to renwood high" I said, "how the fuck would she know you, the girls I'd see come and talk to you when you were sat at your table. It makes sense now"

"You watch me when I write" Ruel asked with a small smile on his face

"That's not the point here" I deadpanned

"I'm sorry okay, I've just had enough of going through fake friends" he sighed

"It's okay, I get it" I said, "I don't forgive you yet, but I get it"

"Are we Good?" He asked

"It's going to take you a lot of food till we're good again" I huffed

Ruel smiled

"That's fine with me" he said

"So that notebook?" I asked

"Songwriting" he answered

"We are so talking about all of this tomorrow" I said, "I hope you know that"

"Over food at the diner I guess" he chuckled

"You bet" I said immediately

"Well were here now" Ruel said pulling over to park

"Let's go then" I smiled getting out the car

I let the coat drop from my shoulders and chucked it back into the car then I let my hair down and shook my head letting my dark curls fall around my shoulders. I walked towards the house and then realised Ruel wasn't with me.

"You coming pretty boy?" I asked turning to him

He was standing on the pavement with wide eyes. He swallowed before nodding and catching up with me

"You really do look stunning" he whispered before we walked into the house

"Thanks, I tried" I smiled
