Wait what??? When was she scranning a five guys burger 🤣?! I can understand accidentally having something which contains honey, but baiting herself out eating actual meat is crazy.
About a year ago she was posting on Instagram that she went to Five Guys with mummy, but that she posted a disclaimer that she kept it vegan by removing the cheese from a veggie burger. Only they make it pretty clear everywhere that they make all their buns with dairy. Whoops.

Erimentha Parker Chapter 19:

Plot -

- The girls are in science class learning about refraction and got put into pairs. Ruby gets paired with Beth, one of the bullies
- Beth doesn't help Ruby get the equipment which makes Ruby furious, and then Beth says she doesn't want to work with Ruby
- A girl called Ally says that Ruby thinks she is better than everyone and that is why another girl called June doesn't hang around with her anymore Ruby neither confirms or denies this
- Ruby witters on a bit about the experiment and clearly bores Beth who then walks off
- Beth comes back and politely asks to copy Ruby's nots. Ruby says no. Beth then puts Ruby's "three page, handwritten extension essay on the exisistance of photons" (forgive me if I am just an idiot but I am 24 and I don't know what photons are, how is a 11 year old writing a 3 page essay on them) in the water
- Ruby goes to the library to read her one of her favourite books, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- She meets Ella there who read Malory towers like Ruby instructed her to do. Ruby asks how things are with Ella and finds out Ella's bully snapped her ruler and told her she is as quiet as a small dead mouse.
- Ruby tells Ella about her bullies and Ella begs Ruby to tell a teacher. Ruby says she wont, so Ella replies saying she won't report her own bullying unless Ruby does as well and Ruby just accepts this. This makes Ella cry
- Ruby does the first responsible thing of the book and takes Ella to the staff room to tell Ella's teacher about her bullies

Quotes -
- "It doesn't bother me - I suppose I have calloused to this unpleasantness"
- "I hold her gaze for a few seconds, my eyes steady and controlled, hers dull and brown"
- "I clench my teeth and write a quick Post-it note list of the required equipment, my low ponytail swinging as I turn. There is quite a lot to gather up and I have to make two trips, my heart beating with furious anger the whole time"
- "I purse my lips and try to keep my face level with hers, which is tricky because she is a couple inches taller than me. Mind you her poor posture does make her rather a lot shorter"
- A girl called Ally says this to Ruby - "Aha, look at her with her nose stuck in the air. You really do think you're better than everyone, don't you Erimentha?"
- "I am so enthralled by the learning that I temporarily forget we're not friends"
- "Beth clutches my wrist and forces my hand down upon the 100 percent recycled paper, fully submerging the assignment until nothing, save a pencil-drawn diagram and a blur of blue remain"
- "I collapse into the story, swimming into the Black Lake and pretending that I too have a friend I can rescue"
- "I have indeed found a friend here. Yes, she is an entire two years younger than myself but that's hardly important"
- "I've got to admit, Ella does look a bit like a mouse. She has the same long front teeth and pointed nose. Her eyes, however, make all o the difference for they are so large that they could never be compared to the small, beady optics of a rodent"

my eyes steady and controlled, hers dull and brown
The way she said it really makes it sound like "brown" is a negative qualifier like "dull" in opposition to "steady" and "controlled" lmao. How terrible of her to have brown eyes.

This is so judgemental and unkind. No wonder she gets bullied. And what's wrong with having brown eyes? Erimentha is so incredibly unlikeable and snooty. Literally what was Ruby thinking, writing tit like this? Does she think its acceptable to talk about others this way? What a revolting little brat.

Maybe it's just me but all that collation of pens, stickers etc seems very teenager. Admittedly I used to love stationary when I was 12 or 13 but after that not so much and by 22/23 definitely not. By 22/23 any pen that worked generally did me. Also why is it I feel that if you opened up Rube's head you'd find all her ideas ordered in rigid little drawers.
I'm in my early 30s and I still love stationery and still collect nice notebooks, notepads etc. I don't see anything wrong with it. None of the things Ruby likes is problematic on their own, it's the way she approaches this stuff and turns them into her entire identity and uses them as a way to put a wall between herself and the real world. If she likes stationery because it gives her pleasure to take note with pretty or expensive pens or notepads, so be it. But the way she buys and keeps this amount of stuff and never even touches a single one in a useful way is quite irritating, it's almost like a safety blanket. She has an issue with hoarding, she also showed it with that massive pile of childhood and teenager clothes she kept in the landing area wardrobes (why is this even a thing). I think not being able to declutter or throw away/donate useless thing is a major problem in their entire household. Her mother gives me the vibe that she finds all this mess 'quirky' and 'full of character'.

Small, beady optics 😭 Someone please tell Ruby it's fine to use the normal word to describe somethng. You don't always have to reach for its weird synonym.

Beth clutches my wrist and forces my hand down upon the 100 percent recycled paper
Why does it matter that the paper is 100% recycled? Is she really trying to convince us that submerging an assignment is less ethical if the paper's recycled? Are we about to arrest Beth for crimes against paper?

A girl called Ally says that Ruby thinks she is better than everyone and that is why another girl called June doesn't hang around with her anymore
It's because June isn't one of her top 5 favourite months. Bye bye June, you inferior month.

I'm guessing whoever Ella was based on is no longer Ruby's friend...is this why Other Ruby suddenly vanished?

I can't believe she actually doesn't know how to pronounce aurora borealis and doesn't care enough to look it up? English is not my native language and it's still ridiculous to me. I can't imagine not knowing something so basic in my own language and happily broadcasting it for everyone to see 😭

To be fair I am dyslexic and the idea of writing Erimentha every other sentence was just too much to cope with 😭😭😭

Ruby should really use Happy Cow. It lists vegetarian and vegan restaurants in almost any city. I've eaten great pizza in lots of places, thanks to Happy Cow, including Italy. There are lots of places offering vegan pizza nowadays.
