lock and key

In the book Lock and Key the main character is Ruby. One characteristic of Ruby is she is very stubborn. One example is that she refused to go live with her sister. But she ends up having to go live with her anyways. She said that she was doing fine living without her mom anyways and didn' understand why she had to go live with her sister. Even though Ruby turned eighteen in the next couple months the police told her she had too. The second example is that she refused a ride home from Nate who is Ruby's new neighbor. Who offered her rides to school and she refused but ended up having to get rides with him everyday because she wakes up too late to take the city bus. So even if Ruby is stubborn she doesn't get her way anyways.
