Greetings Reader!
This is just a little teaser for what is to come this weekend! This was actually my second draft of the first chapter before I decided to go with a different approach, but I just didn't have the heart to throw this one out. Let me know what you think of it in the comments and I hope you enjoy!
Sincerely Yours,

Hi. My name is Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it… or so my mom always told me… Okay maybe they don't, but that's not the point! The point is that I am a hunter-in-training who managed to sneak his way into one of the prestigious Hunter Academies known to Remnant! Remnant being the world I live on, hunter academies being the schools that train… well hunters, and don't worry about the sneaking in bit, that's also not important. Okay maybe it is, but that's another story entirely!
What IS important is my current situation. What situation you may ask? Let's first start from the beginning. You know how I mentioned that I'm a student of a prestigious academy-that-I-totally-got-into-legitimately right? Well, I've currently been a part of the curriculum for about… two weeks? Yeah, two weeks now, and have acclimated pretty decently if I say so myself.
…
Okay that's a lie; I've actually been struggling lately. Between bullies and having very little experience in combat or Grimm in general I'm already in a pretty tight spot. On top of all that I'm the team leader of the team that I've been placed in. Basically like a study group… only you're with that said study group for all four years that you have in Beacon. Beacon's the name of the academy by the way… forgot to mention that. And don't mistake that last part as being bitter, I actually really like my team, they're full of awesome people that I've somehow been blessed to be friends with. Though it seems this new problem I'm having involves at least one of them… Specifically speaking, this new problem involves my partner, her name is Pyrrha Nikos, apparently a big shot somewhere, also another story and not really important right now.
Now you may be wondering… why the hell am I taking so long to just unveil the damn problem? Well I'm actually trying to piece the situation together in my mind currently, probably why I'm talking to an imaginary audience since it seems I'm already losing my mind. Why? I'm staring at a girl. What girl? Pyrrha Nikos. Why is that a problem? I'm staring at her through a mirror… and I'm alone in the bathroom.
…
You seeing my problem now? Pyrrha Nikos. In the bathroom with me. When I'm alone. And I'm looking at a mirror. Looking like a problem now?
And before my perverted mind starts getting any funny ideas, no it's NOT one of those scenes where I'm in the bathroom and Pyrrha walks out of the shower or anything like that… though I wouldn't have minded if that-
NO! NO! Bad thoughts!
Back to the matter at hand! The situation is not that, in fact it's arguably worse. So I shall now ask you to riddle me this:
I'm staring at my partner.
I'm alone in the bathroom.
This is not the fantasy of a perverted idiot.
What am I?
Jaune was frozen as he stared at himself. Herself. Whatever self he/she was. His/her familiar emerald green eyes wide open with his/her mouth usually always in a strong, encouraging smile hanging open and his/her long red hair, usually propped up in a ponytail, cascading down his/her back.
Hey me, did you guess yet? No? Then I'll answer for you in the form of question!
Why the flying f*** am I Pyrrha f***ing Nikos?!
