Yo! One last story I make before I start another, seriously, it's going out of hand xD I got this idea by listening to "Superluv" by Shane Dawson and I thought, "why not make a fic where Ruby's a giant nerd trying to win the popular girl, with the exception of daydreaming about being a hero" XD So here's my third, well, in a way this is actually my second White Rose fan fic, but I won't spoil shtuff from my other works. So... hope you guys don't mind Nerd!Ruby and with that... Happy Readings!
Oh... one thing you gotta keep in mind, everyone here is a freshmen in a modern day AU high school... except for a certain senior you'll meet in the story.
NOTICE: *creeps on tippy toes* *whispers* I forgot to mention that the whole year system is a lil complicated... High school in this fic admit freshmen as seventeen year olds... So yeah... Lil weird if this is a real life fic... But just think of it as LAFD... *creeps back* *stops* oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out anon. Here's a tired kitty face =-w-=
I don't own RWBY or "Superluv" by Shane Dawson. Seriously, if you listen to that song, this story will seem more... cooler? Oh god, now I'm turning into Ruby! Well, I guess that's it... ~=-w-=~ dance.
Chapter One: Big Giant Nerd
'Ah man! Why did I leave the house this late! I knew I should have left ten minutes ago! I can't be late! Especially when it's the first day of high school!'
Moving her legs up and down on a run-down bicycle, a girl with messy, black hair, wearing big spectacles along with a wrinkled red jacket, and baggy skinny jeans was quickly making her way to her new school; Beacon High. Today, she was finally going to be a Freshmen, well, not really finally, but, ah! What the heck, the jig is up.
Hello guys! The name is Ruby Rose! A name that will become big within the halls of Beacon! Well, I hope so…
Anyways, you're probably wondering why the heck I'm acting so frantic and such, well, currently, if you hadn't noticed, I'm late to my first day. I guess that alarm clock I set up for this morning was unplugged... heh…
Moving on… Well, if you needed to know more about me, I'm a fifteen year old girl who's pretty smart. Now, I'm not saying I'm a geek or anything, because I'm not. But my intelligence happens to be above average. But I'm definitely not a nerd or anything like that. No siree.
I mean, just because I skipped two grades and happen to be younger than everyone else, does not make me a nerd. I mean, which nerd do you know in real life that plays an expertise clarinet, has an enormous library in their house and daydreams about being a super hero? None, because only cool people do that.
And don't get me started on friends. If you needed to know, heh, I only hang out with older people. Yup, I'm cool like that. They're so cool that they even move to the front when they perform during home games. You should see their awesome playing; trombones, drums, trumpets, yeah, my friends are pretty cool.
Anyways enough about my cool social life. I'm actually pretty excited for today; new classes, new friends, but best of all…. dang it, I'm blushing! I have to stop doing that! But… I'm not going to lie you guys, I've actually got a crush on someone. A really HUGE crush might I say.
Alright, alright, I'll tell you guys her name. Well, only her first name. Anyways, her name is Weiss and she's SO popular that it isn't even funny. Literally, she's pretty much the talk of the town. And I, miss coolio pants, happen to like her. I could hook up with her since I'm sorta on the same level as her, but there's just one problem… She's going out with my arch nemesis.
Yeah… they've been going out since I was in middle school, which was a year ago. Not gonna lie, I was a little devastated, but nothing to cry about. Well, only a little bit, but not that much. We're talking about like two, three...I'd say about four weeks, nothing big.
I'm still trying to get over the idea of HER going out with Weiss, but I'm not going to let that stop me from getting the girl! Besides, the girl she's going out with has a reputation for being a conniving, little, bi- language Ruby Rose, language.
Anyways, if you wanted to know her name, it's-
BEEP.
The raven haired girl fell over to the ground after a car almost ran her over from the side.
"Watch it you geek," called out a voice from within the vehicle.
'I'm not a geek!'
Getting up as she rubbed the side of her head, Ruby looked into the car's front windshield. Widening her eyes, she couldn't believe who she was talking to.
"Are you going to move you freaking idiot?" snickered the male voice. A voice belonging to the school's jock, Cardin Winchester.
"U-uh yeah, definitely Cardin old buddy," the raven haired girl laughed nervously.
"Uh, do I even know you? Nah, you're a freaking nerd, course not," he laughed as he speed up to the parking lot up ahead.
"Hah, yeah, nice talking with you dude," Ruby continued nervously. 'Pretty sure that went well.'
Looking to where the car parked, the girl looked around to see many students socializing.
'Oh!' she realized. 'Is this where I should make my debut!?'
Picking up her bike, Ruby began to pull it forward; however, the front wheel of the contraption fell off.
"No no no no! Not now! Please stay together!"
Trying to gather her things, the girl's back pack tore from the bottom, releasing all the materials from within.
"No, not you too backpack!" she panicked.
As the wheel rolled forward, it stopped in front of a pair of old, black Vans.
"Uh, need a hand?" said the unsure, male voice.
Looking up, the girl was met with a blond boy who had deep-blue eyes.
'He looks pretty cool.'
"Uh, yeah!" Ruby smiled. She quickly gathered her books and held them with one hand.
"Thanks, um…"
"Jaune!" the blond boy said, "Jaune Arc, rolls of the tongue and the ladies love it," he smiled.
"Yeah… well, my name's Ruby Rose," Ruby replied suspiciously. "Anyways, what is your current occupation Jaune?"
'Mom always said to make a good impression by seeming intelligent; it also sounds cool!'
"Um… wha?" the blond asked, feeling confused.
"You know, it's the lingo every cool kid uses," Ruby 'corrected.'
"Dude, I seriously have no idea what you just said," Jaune admitted.
Sighing, Ruby rolled her eyes, "I meant to say, what grade are you in?"
"Oh! Well why didn't you say so! I'm starting as a freshmen this year," he smiled.
"Me too!" Ruby grinned.
"Really? You seem to look way younger than you look," Jaune said.
The girl smirked. 'Step one on being cool: say that you're the youngest to attend the academy for being super smart.'
"Well if you must know, I actually skipped two grades, so I'm just fifteen years old," she said as she held her head up.
"Oh, well, that's cool," the boy casually said.
'W-what! That should have made him faun over my intellectual superiority!'
"Oh, yeah, I guess…" Ruby said, sounding disappointed.
"Guess us nerds gotta stick together," he laughed. The girl stopped in her tracks.
"Nerds…?" she whispered.
"Hm? Ruby?" Jaune questioned as he waved a hand in front of the raven haired girl. "Yohoo, are you still-GAH!"
Looking down at the blond on the floor, the girl saw a football roll right next to him.
"Should have dodged that one Jauney boy!" cackled a voice from afar. Looking to the direction from which it came from, Ruby was met, for the second time, with Cardin Winchester.
"Hey nerd, mind if you throw the ball back! Well, that is if you can," he laughed, along with his buddies next to him.
'But I'm not a… nerd...'
"Just hurry… and give it back… Ruby… before he comes over here…" Jaune said, pain etched to his voice.
'Your friend is hurt….'
"Hey idiot! Hurry and throw the ball before I go over there~" he taunted as he continued his laughing.
Clenching her teeth and fists, Ruby stomped her foot.
"Hey idiot!" she yelled across the parking lot, catching everyone's eyes.
"Huh?!" Cardin said angered.
"I don't care if you are cool, but no one hurts my friends like that!" she shouted.
"Are you looking for a fight, you geek!?"
"No," she replied. Looking down, she grabbed the football with a mighty grip. "Instead…"
"Huh?"
Pressing her fingers down on the right places, the raven haired girl looked fiercely at the jock. "CATCH!"
She threw the football with all of her force. Widening his eyes, Cardin did not see the girl's strength coming.
The ball pushed against the boy's chest, knocking him down to the ground.
Wiping her hands as everyone cheered around her, a loud voice made the girl jolt.
"HEY IDIOT, I SAID THROW THE GODDAMN BALL!" fiercely shouted a male voice.
"Huh?" Ruby responded, snapping out of her daydream.
"Geez, some people really need to learn some respect," said a female voice.
Grabbing the football, a tall female with red hair in a ponytail threw it.
"Would you look at that, someone knows how to listen," Cardin taunted.
"I can report you to the principle and make them have you sit out on the next football game, Cardin. Choose your words and actions," the female threatened.
"Tch," the boy replied as he left to another direction.
Watching as the group of boys left, Ruby jumped at the sudden touch on her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" smiled the girl in front of her.
"U-uh yeah," the raven haired girl replied.
"I'm Pyrrha by the way," the redhead said as she picked up the unconscious boy off from the ground. "Sorry your first day turned out like this."
"U-um, it's not a problem at all. I mean when you're cool and stuff, you realize that they're just playing around, you know, horsing around and stuff… heh," Ruby nervously said.
"Okay?" Pyrrha responded, confused. "So, I apologize if I come out as rude, but are you really a freshmen? You look awfully young."
'Time to shine once more.'
"I actually skipped tw-"
"You guys!" yelled a crazy sounding, female voice from across the parking lot.
Feeling as if a boulder had hit her, the raven haired girl's glasses feel to the ground. Quickly picking them, she frowned at the line across the lenses.
'It's alright, it still looks rad.'
"Hey Jaune!" said a girl with orange hair.
"Um…." Ruby panicked. 'WHO IS SHE!?'
"Nora, that isn't Jaune. This is Jaune," she said as she pointed to the foaming boy under her arm.
"Oh," Nora responded. Looking up to confused, scared silver eyes, she smiled. "Hiyyah!"
"Hello…" Ruby awkwardly said. "Um, can you please let go…"
"Oh… yeah!" she yelled with enthusiasm.
"Anyways" Ruby said as she straightened out her worn out jacket. "As I was saying, I actually skipped-"
"Oh Ren!" Nora interrupted. "Look, a new friend!"
"Nora, please don't run in traffic next time," the boy with long raven hair said.
"Okay!" she happily replied.
"As I was saying…."
"Oh, you guys! There's ten minutes left, let's go get breakfast!" the orange haired girl said as she grabbed onto Ruby's arm and ran.
"But I didn't get to finish what I was saying! And my bike!" Ruby yelled. 'Wait, I thought I was really late when I woke up!?'
"We'll make sure to get you one after school!" Nora smiled.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Ruby gaped.
It's humongous! I'm not even kidding you guys! It's like you can put Wallsupermart in here!
Looking at the tables before her, the raven haired girl widened her eyes.
'Alright, remember the trainings! If I'm correct, each table has a social tag on it. Just because I'm a little prepared on the seating arrangements does not make me nerdy at all.'
Looking from the left, the girl began.
'There are the chess players, the gossipers, the drama theater kids, the bikers,' she said as she looked at the wild blonde hair a girl had. Suddenly, the biker girl turned around and gave Ruby a fierce stare.
'Eep!'
Shaking her head, she continued, 'The gardening group, the band- wait, the cool table!'
As she began to walk over to the table, a hand on her shoulder stopped her from doing so.
"What are you doing? You gotta get pancakes first! I heard the pancakes here are delicious!" Nora drooled.
Grabbing a handkerchief from his pocket, the boy known as Ren, wiped Nora's mouth. "Excuse her random movements, she just gets a little excited when food is involved."
"Pancakes!"
"Right, when pancakes are involved," he corrected himself. "I'm Lie Ren by the way," he smiled.
Ruby awed at his 'cool' like features. 'Woah, now this guy looks like the popular dude!'
"I'm Ruby Rose," she introduced.
"Well Ruby, I'm assuming you're a freshmen-"
"Kay' got the pancakes!" Nora shouted a she pushed the two teens to a table.
Ruby grinned widely when she realized that Nora was pushing them to sit down in the band table.
'Finally, my first step on actually being a cool kid! A few more and I'll be able to win Weiss with my ultimate coolness!'
Sitting down, Ruby looked around to find everyone either reading or playing card games.
'Huh?'
"So Rwby," Nora spoke as she had a mouth full of pancakes. She swallowed. "How old did you say you were?"
"I didn't mention… ah whatever, I'm actually a fifteen year old among all you seventeen year olds," she said with her head held high.
"Pfft, you nerd," Nora laughed.
"W-what? I'm not a nerd!? I'm cool!" Ruby defended.
"Yeah, maybe in Geeksville," the orange haired chuckled.
Feeling her cheeks beginning to warm up, Ruby stood up.
"Please forgive her Ruby," Ren quickly said.
"I'm... I'm just gonna go grab something to eat," she said as she turned around.
'I don't get it… by my calculations, I should have been swarming with new friends and the talk of the school already...'
Reaching the breakfast line, the raven haired girl widened her eyes at who was in front of her.
'IT'S WEISS! Act cool, act cool… maybe she'll still remember you, nah, of course she'll remember you! You're popular!'
Walking up slowly, Ruby exhaled. 'You can do this!'
"Um…." the girl whispered. "Um, Weiss…?"
Seeing the white haired girl's hair move from side to side, Ruby tensed up. She was faced to faced with her crush that developed in middle school, Weiss Schnee.
"Um, yes?" the white haired girl asked.
"U-u-uh, I was a-actually wond-dering if you still remembered m-"
"Hey there babe," cooed a voice from the side as an arm wrapped around Weiss' shoulder. The white haired girl giggled as a result.
Ruby stood still frozen. It was her arch enemy… her enemy since middle school… Cinder Fall.
'GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!'
Kissing Weiss' cheek, Cinder looked at Ruby with a smirk.
"Who's your friend babe?" the senior asked.
"Hm? Oh, I'm not really sure," Weiss replied.
'Ah…..' the girl stood frozen.
"Well, she looks out of it so I'm just going to cut her, hope she doesn't mind," Cinder snickered. "Though, I wouldn't care if she did anyways," she laughed. "Senior privileges."
The raven haired girl snarled.
"You! I challenge you for Weiss' hand!" Ruby yelled.
"Huh!? You wanna challenge me? A senior? The boss of this school? Bring it freshmen!" Cinder yelled.
Grabbing the older girl's hand, Ruby threw her over her shoulder. "Take that!"
"Oh, my hero~" Weiss blushed as she latched onto Ruby's arm.
"Anything for my girl," Ruby said in a deep, confident voice.
RING.
Minutes passed as the bell rang; Ruby was still standing, looking as if she had turned to stone as her glasses fogged up.
"Come on Nerdy McGee, you're gonna be late," Nora said as she pulled Ruby through the halls.
'Ah…. she…. didn't remember me…. and... I'M NOT A NERD!'
