Yang was sat at the front of class staring off into space her lilac eyes drifted from one exit door to another, next to her was her sister and protégé Ruby, Yang was known for being undefeated in professional boxing. Several rows behind her was me Blake belladonna world famous for being a nobody I'm terrible at sports my grades are a bit above average but not by much but I'd prefer to be in my dorm with my favorite book Ninjas of love and it's not a smut book.
"Miss Belladonna!" I was dragged out of my thoughts by the low key voice of professor Goodwitch. "Please pay a tension!" her voice echoed in the large room this was a detention class so several kids were here but no one paying attention if you haven't guessed I'm not used to being in detention in fact I've never been in one before I'm just taking the beating for my one and only friend Adam.
Yesterday
It was around 8 pm dusk had just rolled in and the street lights were flickering on.
"Adam where are we going exactly?"Adam had asked me if I wanted to do something, I had nothing better to do than watch read in the dark (short version if i turned the lights on velvet would know I was back and well chess ain't my thing).
"You are going to have some fun." I could almost hear my mouth drop, Adams idea of fun was far different from mine, like from here to heaven different.
"I'm going back to beacon right now." I turned around a persuaded walking back to beacon, Adam followed after me and soon court up.
"Ok maybe next time I should give you a heads up, ohh and I'll be out till 3 at qrow's club if you want to swing by later."Yes were both gay well ish Adams bi and I'm gay but ish.
Once I got to my dorm I sat on my bed and opened up my book to the last page I read, after 3 hours of reading I when and took a shower as the boiling hot water hit my thoughts drifted to Yang who would have just finished training an hour ago and probably would be taking a shower much like I was.
Once I got out of the shower I quickly whipped a towel around my body and turned the water off. I could hear a loud noise coming from the living room, using my Faunus heritage I listened hard. It was only my roommate velvet she was sweet, innocent and smart but because of the rabbit ears she was often bullied.
I quickly got changed in the bathroom and walked into the living room to see a scared and weeping velvet.
"..B-Blake I didn't...k-know you were home." her voice was cracking under her cries it was obvious Cardin Winchester was behind this.
Just as I was going to go and comfort the crying Faunus there was a large bang followed by loud foot steps someone was really angry. Not even seconds later the dorm door flow open and there stood Adam with a blonde monkey boy in his arms.
"At the club he got too drunk, could you let him sleep in your dorm I'd take him to mine but Cardin would be just a bit against it." this was the second time I've had to keep one of Adams one nighters in my dorm at least the last one was female thought.
"Fine but you've got to get him out by morning, you owe me." Adam then placed the boy across the sofa and kissed him on the forehead and left.
Velvet was still staring at the boy after half an hour of him being knocked out on my couch. "Velvet we should be getting some sleep it's 23:47 we have that maths test tomorrow." Velvet slowly got up not taking her eyes off the boy and crawled into bed.
"Night velvet" I said once I was in bed and the candle was turned out.
We were woken up to the sound of a trumpet then a series of knocks on our door. I got up and opened the door and behind stood a very raging Miss Goodwitch don't let the name foul you she's bitter.
"I have Intel from an anonymous source that you have a Faunus here without permission you know the rules better than anyone Miss Belladonna we are not allowed to bring people into our dorms!" she spat out. It must have been Cardin no one else would say it was a Faunus they'd say it was just a person.
She barged past me elbowing me in the side even some teachers hate faunus, she returned to the door with the blonde boy over her shoulder she then handed me a slip of paper.
" I will be seeing you in detention Miss." She exited the room being sure to slam the door, the boy was still asleep his head bobbing with every foot step.
Today
So that's how I got here theirs another 25 minutes left of Goodwitch and her lecture on what's good and bad no one was actually listen to the mournful lecture she did every day. I had three options listen to her lecture, find out how everyone looks so interested or sit and stare at the blonde in front of me. I opted to look at the regulars they seemed to have a pretty good tactic.
I just started my investigation when I felt a fist hit my arm a dull numb pain shot to my arm the hit wasn't very hard but it still hurt I bit my lip and forced my whimper back in. I turned to my left to see Cardin his orange hair in a more tussled style than usual his eyes were slightly bloodshot but still as piercing as usual, he gestured his head to wards the fire exit and gave me a quick wink it was obvious he didn't know about my Faunus heritage or the fact I'm not into guys but before I could explain the fire alarm jumped into action.
"Everyone, please keep calm and exit in single file." Miss Goodwitch guided everyone towards the fire exit, single file was eventually thrown out the window elbows were thrown into sides all just to save their twisted little lives. There was no real fire but people only cared about number one.
I took a few steps back just to look at the monstrosity that was high school one of the only stereotypical things that was true:
Highest rank the popular rich kids, then the natural beautiful, followed by the athletically talented.
Lowest rank Faunus (me).
As I was just about to make another brake for the exit I felt a light hand on my shoulder following up from the hand was the blonde beauty known as Yang Xiao Long or blonde bombshell in boxing terms.
"There's an exit hatch under the floor boards." before I could protest or at least ask her why I was being dragged towards the back of the classroom.
"Age before beauty." her subtle voice calming my nerves I'd never had this long a conversation with her before and was willing to make it least if that meant jumping down a hole then hell be it.
The tunnel was dark with one or two lanterns lighting the dark, their were two more people with us Ruby Rose (Yang's sister) and Jaune Arc (a boy with potential but just can't find it).
"So does anyone know which way were going." Ruby inquired as she sat down in a corner, there was a long silence only accompanied by the heavy breathing of jaune.
"... I'll take that as a no." Ruby slumped into the corner knees held to chest "..who's idea was this anyway." Jaune's eyes turned to the direction of Yang which I followed but Jaune quickly shot back from Yang's fiery glare, Yang's shoulders dropped and she pulled out her phone and quickly started typing from this angle it was hard to see what she was actually typing she could be playing 2048 for all I knew.
"Ok, I've pulled up the blueprints for the school underground and all we need to do is follow straight on till we come to a split way in which we turn left." the life was now flowing back into her sister with a slight bit of hope, this was going to take a while but as long as I was with Yang there's no place I'd rather.
