Chapter 1

"Ruby! Wake up!"

Ruby's silver eyes opened slowly and she looked at the clock. 6:30? Was her sister insane? No one in this house should be awake this early unless-

Oh no.

Ruby bolted out of bed and over to her dresser. She looked at the calender and, sure enough, it was the first day of her freshman year. "Coming!" she yelled downstairs to her older sister, Yang. Ruby yanked open her dresser and grabed a red T-shirt and blue jeans. She got dressed, grabbed her backpack and ran downstairs where her sister and their friend, Blake were waiting.

"Slept late, I take it?" asked Blake. Ruby didn't need to respond as Yang rolled her eyes.

"Come on, you two." she said opening the door to reveal a black haired cat Faunus leaning against the railing to the stairs.

"I thought you were waiting at school, Bailey." said Blake. Bailey shrugged and walked down the stairs. Yang leaned over to Blake.

"Still not talking, huh?" she asked.

"I wish he would." sighed Blake. "He's been like this since Mom and Dad died."

Ruby looked down. Blake's brother, Bailey, had taken the worst toll in their parents' death. When he heard the news, Bailey completely shut down and wouldn't talk to anyone except Blake. Ruby couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She had lost her parents too.

"Ruby, you ok?" said Blake. Ruby shoved the thought of her parents' death out of her head and nodded.

"I'll be fine." she said. "Let's go."

The group walked to the school. Beacon Academy was huge in Ruby's mind. Yang would just say it was because she was small, even though it wasn't.

"Excited, Ruby?" said a voice behind her. Ruby looked behind her and saw Jaune and his girlfriend, Pyrhha, walking up to her.

"A little nervous, but I'll deal." she said, pounding fists with Jaune. Then, she saw a familiar flash of orange hair speed past them over to Blake and Yang.

"Hey, guys!" said Nora, waving erratically. Yang smiled and Blake gave a little wave before Nora darted off again. Before she got far, her friend, Lie Ren, stopped her.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to put sugar in your breakfast in the morning?" he said, quiet annoyed.

"I don't know." said Nora. Her eyes darted to a squirrel in the middle of the school's field. She dashed after it and Ren face-palmed.

"You know she's not going to listen, right?" said Yang. Ren hung his head and nodded. The warning bell rang and students started to go into the school.

Ruby walked into her first class of the day and sat down. The teacher was a spiky-headed man with glasses and coffee. When the bell rang, he basically teleported over to the door and shut it.

"Good morning, class!" he said quickly. One student gave an awkward wave at the teacher. Other than that, it was completely silent. "My name is Professor Bartholomew. I will be your History teacher for your freshman year. Do you understand? Good! Let's begin!" Ruby set her head on her desk. This was going to be a long year.

After listening Professor Port drone on and on and ON in biology about all of the things he's dissected over the years, Ruby finally made it lunch. She walked into the lunch room and saw Ren trying to get Nora into her seat. Guessing that was the place her friends were sitting, she walked over there.

"Nora, will you just sit down!" yelled Ren, grabbing her arms. She struggled for a moment before her head dropped onto the table with a loud THUD!

"I'm guessing she crashed." said Ruby. Ren nodded and out a binder under her head as Nora snored quietly.

"So how was your first day so far, little sister?" asked Yang, walking up with Jaune, Pyrhha, Blake and Bailey.

"Boring." she said. Prof. Port just talks about himself the entire class."

Bailey slid her a note that said, "Did you have Goodwitch yet?"

"I have her next." said Ruby.

"Who?" asked Pyrhha.

"Goodwitch."

"Her class is awesome." said Jaune. "She's a little stern, but she's cool."

"Yeah, Rubes." said Yang. "It'll just be like Blake trying to teach you something."

"Hey!" said Blake, playfully slugging Yang in the arm. "I'm a little better than Goodwitch!"

"Yeah, sure." Yang said. She looked behind her and saw someone throw an apple. Just before it hit Blake in the back of the head, Yang caught it mid air. "Alright, who threw that?" she yelled.

The room was completely silent, except for the four guys that were walking towards Yang. "Should've known you were going to catch that." said one guy.

"Oh shut the hell up, Cardin." said Jaune, standing up. Ruby was a little confused at first, but then figured out that the guy called Cardin was one of the many people who didn't like the Faunus.

"I don't know why you guys defend these pieces of shit." said Cardin. That made Bailey and Blake stand up. Bailey grasped a hard-covered book in his left hand, just in case things went south.

"I don't think they liked you calling them that, Cardin." said on of the guys behind him.

"Shut up, Russel." said Cardin. He turned to Bailey, who was staring him down.

"What's the matter, freak?" asked Cardin. "Thinking about your mommy and da-" WHAM! Bailey smacked Cardin upside the head with the book. No one even saw him clear the distance between him a Cardin.

Bailey took out a note card and wrote, "If you talk about my parents or harm my friends, next time it won't be a book." He threw the note card on Cardin and sat back down at the table. Cardin got up and he and his gang walked away, holding Cardin up.

Tears formed in Bailey's eyes. Blake walked up and hugged him. "It's ok." she said, rubbing in between his ears. "I don't think he'll be doing that again." Bailey nodded and wiped the tears from his eyes.

"What happened?" said a voice behind Ruby. She looked behind her saw...

The most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

I wonder who that beautiful woman is? (We all know who it is. If you don't, look up WhiteRose.) I hope you guys have enjoyed this first chapter of High School Life! If you did, please follow, favorite, and review. I appreciate any kind of feedback. See you guys on the flip side!
