Cora gives Ruby 200 dollars to go shopping for some new clothes. On Saturday, her and Cora were supposed to go shopping, but they didn’t because Cora had an appointment. So Ruby went shopping on her own. Before she actually went to the mall, she decided to take a detour and go see an old friend of hers, Marshall. She stays at his house for a while, they didn’t really talk to each other, but they have this thing where they like hug each other, or touch each other, and that is there way of talking. Before she left her old life, and started her new one, Marshall and Ruby had a thing going, although they weren’t quite dating. Ruby leaves there, and then sets out to the mall. She gets some new clothes, but on her way out of the mall she finds more than clothes. She finds a now hiring sign. She really wants to get that job, so she applies. Ruby is applying to work at a jewelry store, and the manager is very, very opinionated, and she is a control freak. She does not want to force herself to admit that she needs help, but there is something about Ruby that she can’t resist hiring her. Nate then shows up there, because he delivers her boxes and stuff. His exact words were “good luck, your going to need it.” When Ruby returns to Cora’s house, there is a huge line of cars there. Ruby didn’t know what was going on, but come to find out it was a party. Ruby learned many new things there, one of them being Cora was not what Ruby thought she was, she is better. I think that Ruby is going to get very adjusted to her new, cushy lifestyle. I also strongly think that Ruby will stay long after her 18^th birthday. I think Cora and Ruby will develop a strong relationship.
