Weiss couldn't believe the kind of day she was having. Her first day of college was an absolute disaster. To start off her day her driver had gotten completely lost trying to find the college. So when she finally got there she had to hurry to make initiation. In her hurried rush across campus she had ran into a girl dressed in all red knocking them both down. If it was any other time she would have given the girl a verbal beat down but already being late she had to be content with a side off comment on the girls stupidity. Weiss left the girl there apologizing profusely. Finally making it to initiation she found that all the seats had been taken so she was forced to stand in the back. While standing in the back some boy with blonde scraggy hair had tried to hit on her. With comments about her being a snow angel she so badly wanted to punch his lights out, but being a Schnee would not allow that. After standing for what felt like thirteen hours she finally got her room and preceded to make her way there.
That was where she was now standing in front of room 401. After her day all she wanted to do was go in and sleep but something had stopped her. When she neared the door she had heard a loud bang followed by two voices.
"oh dammit!" The first one exclaimed.
"Come on Yang you are in here for two minutes and you already broke something!" The second one yelled. her voice sounded a lot younger then the first one.
"Sorry I didn't think it was that wobbly." Said the voice Weiss had heard before.
"Yang just go to your room already my roommate could get here any minute and I don't want you breaking their stuff too." The younger voice said.
Weiss heard footsteps coming to the door and decided it better to pretend like she was walking down the hall to another room. When the footsteps behind her faded away she made her way back to room 401. Entering she saw who the source of the younger girls voice was. She was short though not as short as Weiss. She also had short black hair with red mixed into it. Also what amazed Weiss the most was that she had silver eyes. Silver not gray just light enough to not be gray. The girl was also sporting Black skinny jeans with what could almost be called black combat boots. Her top was a red hoodie with a rose design on the back.
All of this though was immediately awful to Weiss when she realized that this was the girl that she had run into earlier this morning. Apparently the younger girl also realized this to when she saw Weiss and froze.
"Oh no." Weiss said putting her head in her hands.
"I'm really sorry about earlier and i wasn't watching where i was going and please don't yell at me." The younger stumbled and stuttered over her words.
"Stop." Weiss said annoyed. Without even looking at the other girl Weiss moved her stuff to her side of the room. The room was very simple it had white walls with a bed and dresser on each side of the room. Off to one side there was a door that led to the rooms bathroom.
Laying her stuff down Weiss began carefully putting her clothes in her respected dresser when she heard a very timed voice behind.
"um... I never got your name." The younger girl said.
Still not looking at the girl she said, "Weiss Schnee." hard and stern making it clear that this conversation was to end.
"Oh well my name is Ruby Rose." The girl in reds voice got excited at her own name.
'Great a name to the idiot' Weiss thought.
"So Weiss do you think we can be friends?" Ruby asked happily.
Instead of answering Weiss grabbed her towel and went to the rooms bathroom after a few minutes the sound of water running could be heard.
"I'll take that as a no." Ruby said kicking at the ground and flopping on to her bed. "Great this day is just terrible."
Weiss stood in the shower letting the water cascade down her back removing the stress of her terrible day. Never had she had such a bad day as today. Well that's not completely true there was the day she got the scar that ran over her left eye. She raised her hand to run it over the scar. The worst day of her life was definitely when she got that but today was a close second.
"I'm going to hate it here." Weiss whispered to herself. Deciding that she had spent enough time in the shower Weiss stepped out and began to dry herself with her towel. When she was finished she wrapped herself in the same towel and walked out of the bathroom and moved to her dresser to get a pair of clean clothes. However she stopped when she heard a rather loud 'Eep' come from behind her.
Turning around she saw that Ruby had covered her eyes and turned away.
"What?" Weiss said rather annoyed.
"Its just...um i...um have to go." The red head promptly rushed out of the room slamming the door so hard it was a wonder as to how it had not broken.
"what's up with her its not like I'm showing anything." Weiss spoke to herself. "And even if i was we are both girls honestly the immaturity of some people."
Yang burst out with laughter not able to control herself after hearing Ruby explain what happen with Weiss.
"Yang can you please take this at least somewhat serious?" Maybe coming to Yang was not the best choice. Dammit should of went to Velvet with this one.
"I'm sorry Rubes but that is to funny." getting herself back under control Yang went into big sister mode. "So i take it you haven't told her."
"Of course not Yang i just meet her!" Ruby pouted "I don't think 'hey my names Ruby Rose and I'm gay' is the best opener."
"Well why not being gay isn't bad." Yang was teasing her but she also was serious at the same time. Something Ruby had never really understood how she could do.
"Yeah that's what you think but not everyone is the same way." Ruby slumped into a chair that was for some reason not near the desk.
"Well those people are wrong" Yang was getting defensive.
"Doesn't stop them." Ruby had now positioned herself upside down in the chair.
Just when Yang went to say something there was a timid knock at the door. Huffing Yang moved to answer it. Opening the door Yang was met with a shorter girl with long brown bunny ears on the top of her head. she sported a plain White shirt and normal bluejeans with black converses.
"Oh hiya Velvet come on in." Yang said greeting the girl with a smile. Ruby, Yang, and Velvet had been friends since the third grade and had been inseparable since.
Upon seeing the bunny fauness Ruby light up had dashed giving the girl a very Yang like bear hug.
"Oh Velvs help me!" Ruby pleaded.
"What is it now Ruby?" Velvet asked over the years she had learned to deal with the hyperactive red head. She also had a knack for calming Ruby down which could be attributed to back when in 7th grade Ruby had a massive crush on Velvet.
After explaining again what happen with Weiss Ruby felt exhausted.
"Ruby dear you are blowing this way out of proportion." Velvet said smiling. "You don't have to tell Weiss you're gay if you don't want to but you shouldn't freak out at such small things like this." she put a reassuring hand on Ruby's shoulder.
This earned a small blush from Ruby. Okay so maybe the crush still lingered here and there but no way would she admit it. She almost had a heart attack the first time, never again.
Ruby wasn't sure what to say so she simply nodded. Looking at the clock it now read 9:47.
"well i guess i should go back its getting kinda late." Ruby grumbled
After Ruby had fled the room Weiss had gotten changed. With this being the first day there wasn't any homework or studying that needed to be done so Weiss had occupied her time with a small book she had brought along just in case she did have some down time. After about an hour of reading in peace it was rudely interrupted when she heard the dorm room door open. Ruby walked in head down not even glancing at Weiss. She walked strait to her bed pulled out a notebook and started working on something Weiss couldn't see.
Both girls remained silent for the rest of the night. Weiss because she did not care to converse with someone as immature and clumsy as Ruby. Ruby stayed quiet though because she wanted to avoid any more awkward moments.
Ruby was awoken that morning by a soft beeping. Groaning Ruby sat up reaching for he phone. When she looked at it she saw she had two messages from her sister.
so have you told her yet?
Without even looking at Yang's other message she typed her reply.
No and i don't plan on it.
She sent the message tossing her phone to the side. It was only 5:30 to early for Ruby. Scanning the room she notice that Weiss was not in her bed. Wondering where she was Ruby suddenly realized that she could here the faint sound of the shower.
"Geez up before 5:30." Ruby could barely manage to get up at that time let alone any earlier. She sighed when she heard her phone go of again
Come on why not?
Because like I said last night opening with the fact that i am gay not the best idea.
Ruby let out a long breath. She loved her sister of course but sometimes she just had no idea. Another small beep told her that Yang had replied.
Fine. Want to come eat breakfast with me and my roommate?
Sure be down in a minute.
Ruby jumped out of bed. She changed and brushed her hair down trying to tame the wild mess. When she finally decided it was the best she could do Ruby left for the cafeteria. When she got there she say Yang standing with someone she did not recognize.
"Hey Ruby this is my roommate Coco, Coco this is my sister Ruby." Yang said as ruby approached.
"H-hello." Ruby said very nervously. She had always found it hard to meet new people.
"Hey Ruby it's nice to meet you." Coco said. Her voice was soft making Ruby look at her for the first real time. She wore a black beret that cover her dark brown hair. A pair of sunglasses sat proudly on her face. Her shirt was a simple brown long sleeve while her pants were white.
"Well ladies are we going to go get breakfast or what?" Coco asked. Yang nodded her head. seeing her reply Coco spun around and began to walk off.
"Pretty isn't she?" Yang whispered to Ruby.
"Yeah she is. Wait Yang i thought you didn't like girls?" Ruby seemed very confused by yang's statement.
"I dated Blake remember?" Yang said almost defensively.
"Yeah but that lasted like four weeks and every time after that you just refer to it as a failed experiment." Ruby said in a very matter of factly voice.
"Well maybe I'm more open minded now then i was back then." Yang said placing her hands on her hips.
"Yo ladies come on lets go." They heard Coco yell from afar.
Yang gave Ruby one more quick glare and walked on. Ruby smiled and followed suit.
Breakfast was pleasant. Most of it consisted of Yang and Ruby getting to know Coco and vise versa. Though when Yang said a sly joke hinting at Ruby being gay she bunched the blonde as hard as she could. Ruby really did mind if people knew her sexuality but she would prefer to really know someone before that topic came up. She didn't want that to be the first impression that scared people off.
After lunch the three girls bid farewell as all of them had different majors they where all in different classes. Ruby got to her class about fifteen minutes early. When she first walked in the door she was amazed by the size of the room. Ten rows of seats each one raised up behind the other stretched from one side of the room to the other. The room looked big enough to fit about one hundred students. This worried Ruby immensely as she was not good around crowds. Actually if she was totally honest she wasn't good around anyone.
Ruby decided to take her seat in the second row all the way to the left. She was excited for this class, being as it was engineering 101, so she wanted to seat close to the front but not to close. With fifteen minutes left before class started Ruby took time to look at some of the other students. There where only a few in the room at the moment but Ruby guessed the class would fill up a lot more before it started. But for the few that where there they where mostly in groups taking.
She continued to observe the students when she heard the door to the classroom open. Switch her gaze to see who had arrive her heart sank. There standing at the door was Weiss Schnee.
What is she in this class for? Ruby silently asked herself.
Weiss took her seat on the first row a little to the right of the room. Ruby had a very bad feeling that this was not going to be a fun class now.
As the last few minutes ticked by more students came in then finally the professor entered through a side to and walked to his desk.
"Good morning students my name is Doctor Oobeck." Oobleck had wild green hair and circular glasses. He wore a white shirt only half way tucked in with a yellow tie around his neck. Green pants covered his legs while black shoe adored his feet.
"Now first things first i have decided this year that you will be paired up with one other person." The green headed professor said. "And before you make any assumptions I have already selected your partners for you."
Ruby felt as if she had been punched in the face not only was now in her class but she had to be with a partner. This year was going to be disaster. As Oobleck began to rattle of names for pairs Ruby began to shrink into her seat as each one was called that was not her. Finally he made it to he name.
"Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee." He said without missing a beat and continuing.
Ruby almost screamed in surprise and terror. She had been pair up with Weiss. This was most definitely going to be a shit year. Glancing at Weiss Ruby noticed she had a blank look on her face. One that showed no emotion. Ruby couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad. but she was torn from her thoughts as Oobleck spoke again.
"Now I want you to get with your partners your first assignment is to design something of your own it will be due next Friday and you will be graded by how effected it would be in use." With this Oobleck nodded and left the room.
Ruby was so engrossed in thought as to how to get out of this that she did not notice Weiss walk up behind her.
"Hey idiot where you even paying attention."
Weiss voice almost made Ruby jump from her seat.
"Yeah sorry I was just-" Ruby was cut off when Weiss held her hand up and spoke
"Let's just go back to the room and work on this." Weiss didn't even wait for a reply. She just turned on her heels and walked out leaving Ruby to hurry along after her.
She may be a jerk but at least she is pretty. Was Ruby's last thought before she hurried after her.
AN: I decided to update this chapter because the more i thought about it the less i liked ruby calling Weiss a bitch at the end. Jerk just sounds so much more like Ruby.
