Lock and Key

I started reading a new book. It is called Lock& Key. It is by the same author from the book that i previously read, This Lullaby, Sarah Dessen. I am not too far into the book yet, but just far enough to get a back ground on the main character, Ruby. Ruby is 17 1/2 years old. She has a sister and her mom, at least for a little while. She had not seen her sister in about 10 or so years, until something bad occurred. Her mother left her at the house they were renting. She was alone, but she was almost old enough. She had been living there for 2 months until the landlords found out. She had avoided them every time they came out to check on them. She was 2 months behind on the payments. She loved that house, but it had a few imperfections. The dryer did not work, so she had to hang her clothes on a clothes line that ran into the kitchen, and just hung there. There was no running water in the kitchen, so she had to get all of the water for the dishes from the toilet in the bathroom. She could have gone living alone in that house until she was 18, and was free and able to do mostly everything. When they finally did find out, it was not good. The landlords came to check up on them, and get their payments. When they walked in, the place was just like a pigsty. It had cockroaches(it always had, but they got worse) alcohol and drug residue, and dishes pilled up very high. Ruby worked a lot, so she did not have the energy to get a bucket of water from the bathroom to do the dishes every night. The child services place sent her to live with her sister, in a upscale neighborhood, with very big house, and gated and stoned walls. Ruby did not like the idea of living with her at all. She plans to run away, like the night she gets there. She her sister and her husband a note, telling them not to worry. She did not tell them where she was going though.

I think that Ruby is going to get caught when she goes to go out the door, and then she is going to try to escape again. I think she will succeed getting away later on, but then something gets her n trouble and she is reported to the cops, and is brought back to her sister's house. I think her sister will be very mad at her, and make sure that she does not leave again. I think Ruby will end up liking her new lifestyle, and when she is 18, I don't think she will want to leave.
