"Weiss... he's about to do it again," Blake monotonously remarked, not tearing her eyes from the book. Weiss let out a sigh from where she sat. The two girls, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna were sat in the cafeteria of their school Beacon Upper School, trying to enjoy their lunch break in peace. However their lunches were always interrupted because they happened to be one of the few most attractive girls in the school and single. This caused no end of guys trying to ask them out, either for riches or to further their libido's pride. So Weiss pressed her fingers against her temples in frustration as she heard someone approach her from behind.
"Hey there girls! You're looking fine today," he spoke suavely, it just furthered Weiss annoyance.
"You're flies undone," Blake remarked, still not taking her sight away from the book. This caused the boy to quickly zip up his trousers in a fluster. Seemingly having some intelligence he chose to walk away in embarrassment, onlookers sniggering as he went.
"I sometimes wonder how you can see what's happening around you when your nose is always in a book," Weiss questioned with her arms cross, a frown on her face.
"Years of practice," Blake simply replied. Weiss let out a huff and turned her head away. That frown always on her face. No one in school had ever seen her without it. Girls wondered why such a miserable cold girl could have so many boys pining for her. Therefore Weiss Schnee was labelled the 'Ice Queen', breaker of hearts and daughter to the most powerful family in the city. It was that fact that many boys tried their luck in courting her, because of her family name. Why Weiss never let anyone else besides Blake close to her, making an icy shell around her heart. It was why she didn't have any other friends, nor did she have any before.
...Except that one girl who saw her for herself.
Years ago when she was seven years old, a girl got lost one day and found herself in Weiss garden. Normally people don't get lost in other peoples gardens, but because Weiss lived in a mansion and her garden was the length of four football fields it wasn't surprising. The gardeners or caretakers would immediately chase the intruders away, or if they posed a threat to the Schnee family they'd call security. But on this occurrence it was just Weiss and this girl. She was terrified at first, thinking this girl was going to hurt her. But she didn't. In fact she wanted to be friends. It was an entirely new concept for Weiss, who never had any friends or anyone her age to talk to. Although scared she was also excited at the idea. So from that day the two became best friends. The two would meet up in the garden, in secret of course, and play together. There were times when her friend also took her out of the garden and went to the park. This friendship went on for months, the two girls opening themselves fully to each other.
Until one day their house was broken into by a terrorist group called the White Fang. When Weiss her friend came back to see the police surrounding the mansion her father came running over, scared she was taken by the White Fang. He turned to her friend and in rage, told her to never return. After a week of everything returning back to normal, he could see that he made a mistake in driving the young girl away. His daughter who had been happier since meeting this friend secluded herself from everyone. She wouldn't eat or drink, she would sleep in as long as possible, cry herself to sleep. It was painful to see his eldest daughter in such a state. So he tried to make things right and to try inviting this girl around. However before he had the chance to a letter was sent to Weiss from her friend, stating that she had to move away and was sorry for the trouble she had caused. That was her only true friend she had.
After picking up a bottle of water and have a quick sip she regarded the raven haired girl before her. Blake and Weiss were paired together in a science project. Since the two girls kept to themselves and had no real friends, except for Blake, they easily related to each other and decided to meet together at lunch. Weiss' father was happy that she found a new friend, but Weiss still resented him from driving away her only friend. Forcing her to grow up alone to become the cold mistress she was now.
"Anyway, have you decided to join a club yet? You need a hobby," Blake said as she placed a bookmark in her book, saving where she read up to. Now deciding to be social she placed the book down on the table and looked to the heiress.
"I don't have time to join clubs waste time. I'm a very busy girl after all," Weiss answered in a manner of fact.
"It must be a busy life sitting at home moping all the time," Blake sarcastically replied, causing the white haired girl to frown.
"I don't mope all the time!" Weiss snapped back. Blake simply raised her eyebrow at the statement. Weiss glared angrily at her acquaintance then stood up in a huff.
"Whatever, I'm going to sit here and take this mockery!" she said and proceeded to walk away. A blonde haired boy however stood up and went to say something to the approaching Schnee. Before he could open his mouth she turned fully towards him and pointed at his face.
"If you so much as say one syllable of your predictable sentence Mr Arc and I will skewer you to the second hand of the clock tower!" Weiss shouted. The blonde boy immediately sat back down. Blake rolled her eyes as she saw Weiss walk through the double doors of the cafeteria. She decided to continue with her reading but before she could even open the book she felt a familiar presence drop down onto the seat to her left.
"What set her off this time?" Another blonde boy asked. His hair was messy and his skin tanned. Kicking up his feet onto the chair opposite him he gave off a care free attitude to the world.
"The usual," she replied as she placed her book back into her bag. She definitely wasn't getting any reading done this lunch.
"Ah well, want an apple?" He then offered an apple in his right hand, taking a bite from another apple in his left.
"Sun... Did you steal that apple?" She asked as if a mother talking to a guilty child.
"Pfft no! I won Scarlet's pocket money in a game of slap fish," Sun replied indignity. Hearing that, Blake accepted the apple and took a bite.
"Thanks...," Blake muttered quietly. Blake knew Sun for a few months now. He was somebody that Blake really needed. Before meeting Sun she had... another. Someone who she trusted with her life and someone she loved dearly. Her parents never approved of... him. Saying how they didn't want someone of his background associating at all with their daughter. In hindsight they were right. Blake was a respectable girl and he... he was a terrorist. Any sane person would call the authorities or run from him and never come back. But she was Young. Foolish. In love. She ran away from home, leaving with cold harsh words against her caring parents and left with him. It didn't take too long until she finally woke up and saw the truth. When she finally escaped from his clutches... she was left with nothing. She couldn't go back home to face her parents, she had no money, no belongings, no home. She was left with nothing but heartache, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
Then Sun came. He took her in to his big family, nursed her back to health and got her into Beacon Upper. It went without saying that Blake owed everything to Sun.
"So... word has it we have two new transfer students coming today," Sun said, breaking Blake out of her thoughts.
"Oh? And who said that?" Blake asked, although sounding uninterested she genuinely was curious. It wasn't everyday a transfer student would appear, let alone two.
"Sage heard it from his teacher, one of them is in his class," Sun explained, taking another bite out of the apple.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're going to drag me into meeting them?" Blake looked over to Sun with a frown.
"Because it's healthy for you to talk to other people, it's always good to make new friends," Sun spun around to fully face her, chewing still on the apple.
"I have you to talk to," Blake complained, not wanting to be dragged around the school to look for the new students.
"And when I'm not around?" Sun asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I have Weiss," Blake snapped back.
"Yeah cause talking with the Ice Queen is healthy," Sun said sarcastically with a roll of the eyebrows.
"Sun..." Blake went to protest again but he stood up abruptly.
"Blake. You can't just lock yourself away from society and the chance to meet new people. Blake... they aren't him," Sun reasoned as he looked down to her. The mere mention of him received a cold glare from the raven haired girl.
"I am fully aware of that!" Blake snapped through gritted teeth. Before she could continue her book was suddenly pulled away from under her by Sun.
"Good! So I don't need to remind you then," he smiled as he juggled the book and apple in his hands.
"Give me my book back!" Blake said irritably as he stood up to reach for it.
"Nah you'll get it back after we talk to the new guys," He said as he proceed to walk out the cafeteria.
"SUN!" Blake shouted as she ran after him. She may owe him so much but that doesn't mean she won't kill him for being such an irritating scoundrel!
Meanwhile Weiss had made her way outside by the long field. At the moment there seemed to be a big group of people watching other race. She decided to remain on the concrete instead of walking on wet dirty grass. She made her way over to the nearby tuck shop that sold coffee. Since she was a regular there she brought one of her cups and plates to the shop and requested to keep it for her. Despite the confused look on the boys face he agreed, so every time she came there would be her own cup of coffee waiting for her.
"Hey there snow angel," that all too familiar voice rang behind her, causing her to frown in annoyance.
"Don't call me that Neptune," Weiss sighed. The blue haired heartthrob of the school came into her vision as she passed her money over to the clerk. Once she was given her plate and full cup of coffee she turned to the racers on the field.
"So have you given anymore thought on you and me?" Neptune then asked with a cocky, standing next to her with his arms crossed.
"No," Weiss simply replied then took a sip from her coffee.
"Well I believe you'd make the right choice for the status quo," he then said looking out to the field.
"Status Quo?" she asked looking over to him.
"Yeah, cause you know. I'm the best looking guy in school, you're the richest girl. It's our duty to be together as the popular kids. It would also be beneficial to our families too when we finish together," He explained. Weiss then had second thoughts on drinking her coffee, opting to throw the rest in his face. The nerve of this guy telling her how it's her duty! As if she had no free will to do as she pleased! Before she discarded her coffee she then had a better idea.
"Tell you what. You win the next race and I'll have lunch with you after school," Weiss said smugly. Neptune looked taken back by the sudden challenge but his smile soon returned and he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Okay then," she then started jogging over to the racers. Weiss smiled at her triumph. She had never seen him run before and he always skived off of P.E classes. There was no way he was going to win against the racers.
Neptune smiled triumphantly. The after school racing tournaments he won were finally going to pay off. He was going to wipe out everyone in the next race. As he arrived his confidence continued to grow that he decided to give some false hope to the others.
"Hey! The winner of the next race will go on a lunch date with the ice queen herself after school!" Neptune shouted as he pointed to Weiss, causing all the boys to cheer and wolf whistle. Weiss went red with anger. How dare he declare that! No matter. He wasn't going to win and she wasn't going to go on any form of date with the winner. As Neptune and seven guys lined up on the eight race lanes he shouted again. "One lap around the track! Three! Two!..."
"Wait!" A female voiced called out. Emerging from the group came two girls. One was tall with very long messy blonde hair coming down her back. The guys could not take their eyes off of her... assets. However the one that called out was the smaller girl in a red hoody, her hood covering her face.
"I want to race," she said, causing sniggers to echo around them.
"ERm it's...cute that a girl wants to have a date with the old ice queen. But as you can see there's only eight lanes," Neptune tried to explain with a straight face, containing his stifles of laughter.
"Yeah... but maybe if I win the race... I may want the date to be with you blondy," one of the racers walked over to the tall blonde. She gave a flattered smile but then shocked everyone when she sent a punch to the side of his head. The racer dropped to the floor completely unconscious.
"Hmm guess he took a nap. Oh! Look sis, there's a spot open for you now!" she gave a thumbs up to the girl in the red hoody. She ran towards the now free space on the race track.
"On your mark!" The blonde called out, causing the others to snap out of their shocked state and to focus on the race. "Get set... GO!"
Weiss didn't know what was said among the others but all she saw was the blonde brute just knock someone out and start the race. Now she had a girl wanting to have a date with her? She began to wonder why she ever thought of this idea anyway. When the racers sprinted off, two things shocked her. One was that Neptune was actually fast and winning. She really didn't want to have a date with him. The second thing was that the girl still remained at the starting line; as if she didn't hear them shout go.
"Erm... what is she doing?" someone murmured as they watched the girl stay in position.
"Oh she's just giving a head start to the others," the blonde answered with a smile and her hands on her hips. Once the other racers reached the first quarter she took off like a bullet. Weiss was shocked to see how fast the red hoody girl was. She easily caught up to them when they reached the halfway point and started to overtake the others. She was now tied with Neptune. He looked over to her as is sweat flew from his hair, only to be shocked that the girl didn't seem to be sweating. She gave a happy smile to him before over taking him. In the last stretch Weiss saw the girl increase the distance between her and Neptune, until finally she crossed the finish line. The red hoody girl jumped into the arms of her blonde older sister.
"Atta girl!" she spun her around then sat her back down. By the time Neptune and the other racers arrived the winning girl turned to them.
"Great race guys!" she cheered to them happily. "Now... a date with her." She looked over to Weiss and began to jog over to her. Weiss steeled herself and prepared her rejection of the winner.
"As impressive as that was, I did not agree to a date with the winner," Weiss said as the girl arrived. Weiss was about to take a sip from her coffee again but the moment the hoody girl lowered her hood, it was as if everything froze around her.
"Aww, not even a friendly outing?" the girl asked with a smile. The people that watched the exchange expected only one thing and that was the huge public rejection to the girl. They thought it was funny to think that the riches and attractive girl in school would swing that way. They were, Neptune more than anything, looking forward to see the girl get her hopes and dreams crushed by the ice queen. What they didn't expect was the look of shock across her face, and the dropping of both her plate and cup. The cutlery shattering around her feet, Weiss tried to formulate words, but none would come.
"Red hair... silver eyes... childish innocent smile... it...it can't be...," These thoughts were going through her mind as she tried to process the girl before her who stood waiting patiently with a smile.
"...is...is it really...," Weiss reached her hand out to touch her, testing to see if she was real or not. The red haired girl moved her head so that Weiss' hand was now resting on top of her head.
"Hi Weiss," she said softly. Then it happened, something that nobody in this school would ever see. Weiss smiled. She smiled the brightest and happiest smile anyone had ever seen.
"RUBY!" Weiss jumped forwards and wrapped her arms around the red hoody girl. The girl she never thought she'd see again.
Ruby wrapped her arms around Weiss just as tightly and buried her face into her shoulder as tears threatened to break from her eyes. Both girls clung onto each other as they cherished this moment, engraving this moment as an everlasting memory.
They finally had their friend back.
A/N: YOU'RE STARTING ANOTHER STORY?!
NO?!... well... not right now at least.
Consider this first chapter a somewhat trailer for another story to come. I have an idea for where I want to take this story but atm this chapter is really an experiment to me doing an Upper school AU (yeah... upper school. We english have upper schools. Not high schools :P ). It also is the reason why some things weren't properly explained, such as are they in uniforms, what are they dressed like, any mention of Blake's bow, if she's even an Fanus, what the cafeteria looks like, and so on and so forth.
And reluctantly I had to put Neptune in on this, since I don't see Cardin being anything but a bully and since Neptune's character is meant to be the heartthrob, womanizing, uncaring, no good, blue haired,MOTHER FUCKING PIECE OF...
Well you get it.
Also this idea is based off of another fanfic story from a different fandom, don't worry I'm not blatently copying the fanfic and changing characters. Take a guess to what story it is by PMing me. (Clue: the fandom is Avatar: The Last Airbender.)
So tell me what you guys think of it in the review. If it's received well I will continue the story when I finish 'Her Cloak' Which shouldn't be long (but taking into consideration my upload speed... I'm sorry I'm not The Draigg).
So yeah, hope to hear from you soon!
