Hello there! This is another RWBY high school AU that was really fun writing and is still progress! There will be many more chapters ahead. I would like to give all of my thanks to RedPanda, who sent me this prompt! I had a really good time writing this, so I think this is going to be a fun one! I'm not one for WhiteRose, but I'm very excited! So look out for more chapters! I will also be continuing my Frozen fanfic, Last Few Moments! I am going to put my RWBY Fanfiction I'm Glad I Met You first, but I will still be doing this and Frozen. I am going to be very busy, but I will do my best to keep up! So, without further ado…
Weiss threw her school paper on the table in front of her and slammed her palm onto it. Her off centered ponytail bounced in time with her harsh movements. She was on a small stage in a classroom. The student body was sitting in front of her. The small article on the front page was about the robotics club competition where, yet again, their team had lost. It showed the small team of people with glum faces, and the people from the winning school grinning widely in the background. The main shot was of the girl that supposedly led "The Army of Nerds", as Weiss liked to call them.
Ruby Rose, the robotics team captain, read a caption under the black and white photo. Weiss seethed at their consistent loss of these so called competitions. Weiss went so far to start a petition to stop the robotics club, that, to those who belonged to it, was unjustly called a "sport". Sport? Please, Weiss thought. The tips of her ear became hot as she faced back towards the rest of the student body. Everything was silent.
"Do you honestly think that we can keep letting these losing nobodies stain our school name?" Weiss said quietly, but fiercely. The rest of the people in that room knew that that was worse than yelling. "Do any of you have a way, any way, that we could possibly stop this from going too far?" Her voice was even lower than before. A scraggly boy with blonde hair named Jaune raised his hand hesitantly.
"Yes?" She said harshly, eyeing him. Jaune lowered his gaze and started to speak softly.
"Well," he started in a cracked voice, "if you got some dirt on the robot club and put it in the paper, then so many people would see it and the principal would have no choice to stop it." Weiss smirked mischievously and picked up the paper. She could see the headline now.
"Good job, Ron," Weiss said, smiling at the boy, "but don't get too cocky." Weiss struck her gavel on a platform twice before saying, "Meeting adjourned." She walked swiftly out of the room with her head high and her shoulders back, her long white ponytail trailing like wisps of smoke behind her. She was out before Jaune could correct her.
On second thought, he didn't want to see what would happen if he did.
…
The shriek of the school bell rang through the classrooms, announcing the end of their last class of the day. Weiss smiled smugly to herself before packing up and hurrying to the small room where they held robotics club. She stepped inside the dingy room, brushing her skirt as if though just walking in the room made her dirty. An assortment of metal screws and parts were littered across the room, which made it difficult for Weiss to walk in her big heels.
She gulped down the nasty comments that were on the tip of her tongue, and walked further into the room. She cleared her throat, catching the attention of all of those who were hunched over tables, building small machines. They all looked up at here. Weiss immediately recognized the team captain, Ruby Rose. A pair of glasses were perched on the bridge of her nose. She smiled warmly at Weiss and walked over to Weiss, shaking her hand. The moment they pulled apart, Weiss wiped her hands on her skirt.
She walked over to one of the tables where another girl and boy were standing, adjusting parts on a small robot. Weiss scrunched her nose and moved onto where the next people were. It seemed to be the same at every table. Ruby, was guiding her around the room, explaining everything. But Weiss was barely listening, just thinking about what kind of dirt she could possibly get on this group of losers. Weiss walked over to an empty spot that was littered with screws and metal pieces. She picked one up between her thumb and index fingers, examining it. It was caked in rust, only tiny pieces of silver showing.
Weiss grabbed a tissue from her bag and wiped the counter down, which barely helped in the end. She saw some of the other people huddling around a square table in the middle of the room. She walked slowly over to it, trying her best not to be touched by any of the other people in the team.
"So, team! I am pleased to announce the arrival of our newest member, Weiss Schnee!" The other members turned towards her. Some smiled weakly, and some were just puzzled. Weiss smiled artificially. To her, Ruby's voice sounded nasally. It made her cringe.
After the meeting was dismissed, Weiss walked back to her locker, where she was met by Phyrra, the girl with the locker next to her. She was the best at almost every sport.
"So, Weiss, what have you been up to lately?" asked Phyrra politely, placing her hands firmly on her hips. She smiled warmly.
"I'm working on a… project." Weiss said smugly, turning toward Phyrra after shoving some books in her locker.
"Well, the best of luck to you," said Phyrra, still smiling.
"Yep," said Weiss, a smug grin on her face, "I have a lot of work ahead of me."
