It was Winter in the city of Vale. Boring, dreary, dull Winter if you asked one Yang Xiao Long. Or in Blake's case, even if you didn't.
The black-haired girl knows her friend wasn't particularly fond of the season, but the amount of complaints spewing from the blonde was astounding.
"Yang," Blake starts with an exasperated sigh, "We just finished mid-terms, can you cut back on the whining, just a little?" She almost laughs as Yang stops and stares at the sky for a moment, a look of awed realization on her face.
"We finished mid-terms..." she whispers as if it's a secret no one else could ever know. Blake rolls her eyes.
"Yes, have you already blocked the last week and a half from your memory?"
"We finished midterms! Hey we gotta do something to celebrate!" the blonde grins, waving her arms around excitedly and completely ignoring Blake's question.
Blake adjusts her scarf as she awaits the more than likely bad idea from the girl next to her. Maybe this time she'll bring medical supplies...
"I've got it! Meet me at the rec-center in an hour!" Yang grins and runs off down the sidewalk, skidding along the ice in an attempt to get to her house as quickly as possible. "And suit up!" she calls back and Blake slaps a hand to her forehead.
The girl knows exactly what the blonde is planning just from those three words. She won't take them as lightly as she did last time, she doesn't want any more welts for her classmates to pester her about.
An hour later, Blake stands, staring at her sneakers in a pristine lobby. Yang is late as always, but she doesn't mind too much. Quickly losing interest in her banged up converse, she looks up just in time to see her blonde friend, along with two shorter girls.
"Sis, you never told me Blake was this pretty!" a cheery girl in an almost obnoxiously red hoodie bounds over to the black-haired girl, grinning. Blake shies away slightly, almost like a cat.
She feels a blush creep to her face as the girl gives her an endearing smile.
I'll put up at least one more chapter of this before going on that little hiatus I mentioned, hope it's at least decent!
