Author's Note: Looking back at these chapters, they are much shorter than ones later on, so if you hate stories with chapters less than 1,500 words or so, keep going because the chapters get longer.
Ruby sat alone in team RWBY's room, procrastinating from studying. She didn't know where anyone else was, but she was lonely. Ruby glanced around the room, across Blake's books, Yang's many tank tops lying on the floor and Weiss' study notes in a neat pile until she found a different kind of note, one with lipstick on it. This peaked Ruby's interest. She leaped off of her bed and ripped the note from Weiss' notes pile. Unravelling it became a chore with how many times it had been folded. She began reading it with a smirk on her face.
'Dear Ruby,
I know we're close, but I want to be even closer. Please don't think I'm weird, I just wanted to tell you that I love you, but more than a friend, I LOVE you.
Love'
It ended without a name, but Ruby knew who it was considering it was in Weiss' note pile. Ruby blushed, but she had never thought Weiss would think of her like that or even that she was lesbian. Ruby placed the note back where she found it and jumped back onto her bed. Ruby pondered how she should feel about her discovery.
Weiss was in the library of Beacon, checking out some study books along with Blake who was checking out some reading books. The library was a huge room floored with white tiles which reflected a glossy image. Giant windows with Beacon banners flapping in the wind to the sides of them. The library – like many places in Beacon Academy – was well organised and treated with care and respect.
"What have you got there Blake?" Weiss asked politely eyeing up the books Blake had tucked away under her arm.
"Just some books to read, nothing much" Blake said without much emotion. She slide the books further through her arm so Weiss couldn't read what they were called.
"I meant what are the names of the books" Weiss rolled her eyes. She moved around Blake to see the books which Blake now plastered to her chest with the titles facing her.
"Oh, umm, Chronicles of Mistress Clower, Forest Hunt and Ninjas of-" Blake suddenly halted.
"Ninjas of what?" Weiss smirked with a slight giggle appearing.
"Ninjas of, uh, Blood" Blake stuttered. She looked around to see if anyone heard their conversation.
"Sure, that's it" Weiss laughed while leaving the counter. She waited for Blake to finish checking out her books and then they walked down the corridor together. The corridors were held up by massive pillars and the walls were lined with artwork and doors. Beacon Academy always seemed to have a bright mood to it.
"Blake, do you like anyone?" Weiss asked. Blake's eyes widened and she refused to look at Weiss.
"What? Why are you asking me this?" Blake asked back in shock. Weiss nudged Blake. "I mean, I do, but why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm your friend silly" Weiss chuckled whilst starring at Blake. They walked a few more steps in silence.
"I thought you didn't care about this sort of stuff Weiss, you know, you're always so focused on your studies" Blake stated. An awkward feeling enveloped Weiss.
"It's just because I think I'm having feelings for someone"
"Who?" Blake asked quickly. Weiss was surprised by how quick she spoke.
"Well, its R-" Weiss stopped when Yang run up behind them.
"Hiya, what ya guys talking about?" Yang smiled. Both Blake and Weiss starred to the ground awkwardly. "Oh, I see, you guys are leaving me out of the conversation." Blake was about to speak up when Yang continued. "Or you guys are talking about me behind my back!"
"No, I swear we're not" Blake stated. Yang gave her a quizzical look.
"Then what are you two talking about?" Yang asked firmly, slamming her hands on their shoulders.
"Well, um" Blake began, but didn't know what say. She stared at Weiss for help.
"We are talking about Professor Port and his lecture yesterday" Weiss spoke up with a fake smile.
"Oh, why didn't you just say so" Yang laughed. Both Blake and Weiss sighed in relief. "That was the worst lecture yet!" Yang continued while using over-exaggerating expressions.
"Wait, when is our next lecture?" Blake asked Weiss suddenly.
"It's in, five minutes ago!" Weiss shrieked and took off running. Blake followed alongside Yang down the corridor.
