Chapter One: Transferring Schools is a Pain
3 Days ago*
"Ruby Rose you are a bright pupil but, I'm afraid that was you're last strike!" A woman said.
"BUT! Headmistress Sylvia they were the ones that started it they've been trying to kick me out of school since I got here please. I need to get a scholar ship, you know my condition!" Ruby pleaded to the woman.
"Ruby I know, that is why I'm transferring you to Beacon Academy the school is much better for your arts and music courses. I know the Headmaster and he said, he looked at your Grades and condition. He'll take you in and after you graduate you'll have a Full Scholarship paid for you." Sylvia pronounced looking at the girl with tears almost visible in her eyes.
"Really I'm a freshman and it's already a whole semester in. I won't know anybody!" Ruby questioned.
"I'm Sorry, Ruby that's how it is. I can't bend the rules for you all the time. You'll be sent to school there on Monday Next week. I paid for your stuff to be transferred to your new apartment." Sylvia said.
"Okay Sylvia I'll miss you!" Ruby said as she bear hugged the woman in-front of her.
"Ruby it's okay get off me now… Air… I NEED AIR!" The woman said as she wacked the girl on the head.
"Bye Sylvia!" Ruby ran out the room and in the corner of her eye she saw Cinder's group laughing it up because of their accomplishment.
4 Days Later*
'Okay Ruby remember to keep your cool. Introduce yourself like normal people. Breathe in… Breathe out…' Ruby thought as she was walking to school. 'Okay let's practice.' She thought. "Hello my name is Ruby Rose I'm 17 years old I like dogs and my hobby is drawing and playing guitar. I also dabble in piano! I hope to have a nice year with everyone." Ruby rehearsed out loud.
A few blocks later*
Ruby made it to the school and walked through the halls. She was 2 hours early because she wanted to explore the school and talk with the Headmaster. She managed to find the Headmaster's office and knocked, and it had no answer. She knocked again and no one answered. She slid open the door and found the room was empty. She looked around and saw a lot of medals and awards. There was a wall of Trophies. She stopped looking around and sat down on a Green chair. Ruby flipped her bag forward and it landed on her lap. She looked through her bag and found her Manuscript Papers. "Bingo!" Ruby said out loud.
Ruby took out her guitar and strummed it a few times and made sure it was in tune. After a few minutes had passed she wrote down a few notes and played the 46 measures she had made for her song. She erased 4 notes and replaced them. She put the next lyrics she intended and played the song again. "Perfect! Man I wish Yang and Dad were here why do they have to live up in Beijing China?" Ruby questioned herself.
"Miss Rose that was an excellent piece what is it called?" A man coming out of a room in the back. A woman also came out following behind the man.
"WHAAA!" Ruby threw her book and pencil in the air. "Don't scare me like that. Thank you, it's called Red Like Roses. And who are you?"
The man laughed, "I'm The Headmaster of Beacon. You can call me Professor Ozpin though."
"Oh okay Professor but, may you tell me why you came out of a wall… with a womaOHHMYYGOODNESS!"
"Get your mind out of the gutter young lady." The woman stopped the little red from continuing her train of thought.
"Miss Rose, I was in there to evaluate you on your performance. Sylvia told me you excel in Music and the Arts and have advanced grades in all required classes. You pass by the way. Instead of wasting your time and complaining like most girls do, you waited and even made this a very useful time for yourself as well." Ozpin went on.
"Oh thank you! So, you've heard off my situation right? Sylvia told me that you read about my predicament." Ruby told Ozpin.
"Oh I know about it, don't worry all your household expenses will be paid for, by the school but, we will not pay for food and clothes. We will stop paying for the expenses after your 2nd year in Beacon Academy." Ozpin declared to the girl getting ready to burst to the news.
"Thank you that's all I need, I used to work 2 jobs in the weekend and week day nights! It's all good to me I'll have more time for my hobbies!" Ruby squealed. "Will I have someone show me around or will I just look around. Either is fine for me by the way."
"Oh she'll be here any minute." Ozpin said right before a knock was heard. "Or she is here right now."
Ozpin opened the door and a girl with White hair and a very pale complexion was waiting on the other side of the door. "Good Morning Professor Ozpin. Is she the one I need to show around?"
"Yes, Weiss she's the one and please treat her nicely and remember to show her where all her classes are. Here is a copy of her schedule." Ozpin greeted the girl and gave her a piece of paper. "Okay, Ruby this is Weiss Schnee she is the daughter of Schnee Record Labels and she is also, a scholar and takes the same courses as you."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Weiss as you know already and would you like my tour to start?" Weiss asked with a very polite tone.
"Sure… Let's go." Ruby was responding already half way through the door. Weiss followed.
As Weiss was giving her tour on their second class room they passed Weiss stopped and it signaled Ruby that she need to stop too, "Okay, Ruby Rose. After this tour remember to avoid me, I don't want your nothing attitude or your bad performances either. Ozpin told me you excel in Music and School but, I highly doubt someone like you is actually as good as he said you were."
Ruby was speechless and nodded at the girl. 'I should have known she would have been like this. She is an idol of course she would act like this.' Ruby walked along and followed Weiss till it was the end of the tour. At the end she waved good bye as she walked away and Ruby went to her 1st period class. She sat down at the chair that looked to be no one was seating in and placed her bag down. She laid her head and waited for the bell to ring. Ruby sat up and grabbed her bag and waited at the door for the teacher.
The teacher finally came along and greeted Ruby. She walked into the class and got the students attention and she motioned for Ruby to come in. Ruby walked into the room again and saw that Weiss was sitting in the chair that she just got up from. "Okay class, this is Ruby Rose and she would like to introduce herself."
Ruby nodded and began her speech, "Hello. My name is Ruby Rose and my hobbies are drawing, playing music and also making music. My favorite of all is Piano and Guitar though. I'm also, 17 and I like strawberries and the color red." Ruby finished.
Ruby finished up and the class started to murmur and a few boys were heard by Ruby and the teacher. The boys were saying, "Damn Dylan she is smoking!" "Wonder if she's a whore?" "You think she's single." "Bro, the question is are her breast real?"
Now the last one made Ruby wonder 'Why would he say that I'm a C cup I think that I have an average breast size for my age'
"Enough class you may take your seat next to uhh… Let's see… Ahh there we go. Take a seat next to Weiss Schnee. Weiss may you please raise your hand?" The teacher said and Weiss complied.
Ruby walked over and sat down, "I'm really sorry Weiss, I didn't mean to seat here if you want I could ask her to let me change seats because of vision problems?"
"It's okay dolt. Just don't talk to me a lot." Weiss responded back.
The periods went on and it was the last one. The one that Ruby was most excited for. It was Music class. Ruby walked in and saw that student were in their chairs and Weiss and her group were talking about. The bell rang and the teacher made Ruby introduce herself for the billionth time. "Okay Miss Rose, can you show us pieces on the Piano?" The music instructor said.
Ruby was surprised by this and she sat down and cracked her knuckles. She opened the piano's key casing and took a deep breath. She started to play All of Me by John Legend. She started to sing along with it.
What would I be without
Your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you
Kicking me out
"She good"
Got my head spinning,
No kidding, I can't pin
You down
"No, Kidding though"
What's going on in that
Beautiful mind
I'm on your magical
Mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alriiiight
My heads water but, I'm breathing fine
Ruby then quickly transitioned to Sorry Seems to be The Hardest Word by Elton John
"Damn that transition though"
What have I got to do to make you love me
What do I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
"Her vocals are amazing is she an Idol?"
What have I got to do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
Ruby again transitioning to a different song, this time something upbeat Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
Dup
Dup Rupt Tup
Dup Rupt Tup
Tum Dum Dum x2
This hit
That Ice Cold
Michelle Pfeiffer
That white gold
This one, for them hood girls
Them Good Girls Straight Masterpieces
Ruby went on and quickly played arpeggios at the end to make it more dramatic. She stood up then did a curtsy bow.
The whole class went wild and started cheering her name. Weiss was speechless she called the girl out and the girl she called out was even better at playing than she was and to top it off she had a beautiful voice. 'I feel like such a jerk right now…' is all Weiss could think about. 'I have to apologize to her. I will not forgive my rudeness.'
"Miss Rose that was an excellent performance who taught you how to play and sing like that? How in the world did you come up with those transitions on the fly?" The Music Instructor kept rapid firing Ruby with questions.
"I'm actually self-taught, I learned how to play Piano, Guitar, Violin, every single woodwind and all brass instruments. My mom taught me how to sing when I was little, and lastly I LOVE TO MAKE MY OWN SONGS!" Ruby basically yelling the last sentence.
"Okay Miss Rose sorry, I keep putting you on the spotlight but, can we hear one of your pieces. If you wouldn't like. I may be a teacher but, the woman named Reigna Myles is not heartless." Mrs. Myles told Ruby.
"I'm fine with it Mrs. Myles but, if you want to hear it let me tune for a little and it will only take 10 seconds promise." Ruby quickly took Crescent Rose her black and red guitar out of its case.
After about 6 seconds Ruby sat herself on the piano's stool and placed her back towards the keys. She began to play and switched between notes. {BTW Guys all the songs Ruby makes are Jeff Williams'. Also this one she's presenting is going to be Red Like Roses Part 1}
After about 15 seconds of a melody Ruby began to make the chorus.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh – 10 seconds
Red like roses fills my head and brings me to the place you rest
White is cold and always yearning burdened by the royal test
Black the beast descends from shadows
Yellow beauty burns…
GOOOLLDDD
Ruby began to strum the second melody and in the middle of it she flicks her guitar in the air, with it landing behind her and she twirls in her seat placing her hands on the piano keys. The tempo began to speed up and her accents and dynamics were becoming very dramatic giving everyone the chills even Weiss.
Ruby's Tempo slowed down for a few measures again and she stopped playing for two measures and began to play chords on the piano and grabbed a pen from her breast pocket and played the melody on the piano while dissolving the beat with the taps of the pen.
Everything went silent and Ruby began to breathe heavily. Everyone got up from their chair and gathered around Ruby. Ruby talked to them and began to pack up because Mrs. Myles used up all the time of the class on Ruby. Ruby looked at the time and the bell actually rang 12 minutes ago and she told everyone that she had some business to attend to. Ruby ran out of the class and a few seconds later Weiss got up and tailed her.
Ruby was surprisingly fast and she ran a few blocks over to a Ferrell's Grocery Store and she walked in. Weiss followed her and watched as Ruby walked into an isle with a little push cart. She put 3 packages of what seemed like 12 cup a noodles packs in each package. Weiss was confused because why would she just buy that. Ruby then proceeded to walk to the cashier and they seemed to know each other and laughed. After Ruby walked out Weiss still followed her and before she knew it she found herself in a bad looking neighborhood. Ruby was about to walk in her small home when she heard a scream.
Weiss was being mugged, "Okay I know who you are. Give me $100,000 and I'll let you live another day!"
The man had the knife at Weiss' neck and Weiss was scared that tears started to roll down her eyes, "I'm sorry but, I don't have that much money. I-I don't hold that much." Weiss was on the brink off an injury or even worse.
"Okay then you'll pay with your body!" The man in ragged clothes yelled at her.
Then a gentle tap hit him on the back. He turned around and jabbed the knife at the person behind him but, luckily for Ruby the knife didn't go through her, just a slice near her collarbone, "Ouch." Ruby yelled holding in the pain.
Ruby lifted the man's arm up into the air and jabbed her finger into the man's neck crevice, making him unconscious. Ruby's pain became unbarring and she started to feel dizzy but, she dealt with it. Weiss was still in shock and called one of her father's chauffer to come to her location immediately. Ruby walked in her house blood still dripping down her neck. Before she could close the door Weiss put her foot between the door and its frame.
"Ruby your hurt please let me help! I'm sorry for following you! Please before something serious really does happen to you you're bleeding profusely! My dad's employee's coming!" Weiss was screaming at the girl.
"Oh hi! Weiss when did you ge-he-hee…" Ruby fell backwards and Weiss grabbed her arm. Ruby was sweating a steam bath.
Weiss touched her head and it was burning up. She was getting worried for the girl she threatened but, for some reason cared for. Soon after the chauffer came and looked at the girl in Weiss' arms, "Weiss! What happened! Never mind put, her in the limo. Tell me what happened on our ride to your dad's Medical Center." The Chauffer talked in a worried manner.
"Herald! I didn't mean too! She was entrancing then I followed her and then this man tried to mug me with a knife then she saved me!" Weiss was yelling tears dripping from her face.
"Weiss where is the man bring him in the car and tie him up. Where is the knife that he used?" Herald began to command and question.
Weiss tied the man up next to Herald and he inspected the knife and gasped, "Weiss we need to hurry if we don't that girl is not going to make it!" Herald yelled and stepped on the gas.
Weiss was now holding the girl that she trashed talk to and hoping she lives. Why is she filling this way? Is it because of her skill?
The car came to a halt and Herald told Weiss, "Tell the doctors that to treat her with 378-Terra Anti-Biotics." Heralds screamed while calling the Police department.
Weiss shoulder carried Ruby dragging her along the floor. The Doctors came to Weiss right away and she told them what Herald told her. The Doctors eyes widened and they put her on a gurney. They injected some blue liquid into her wound. Weiss didn't know what to do. A few hours later the doctors came up to her and asked, "Ms. Schnee would you like to visit her?" she nodded and followed the doctor.
When Weiss and the doctor walked in they saw Ruby writing stuff on a piece of paper, "Ms. Rose you shouldn't be moving!" The doctor yelled trying to get Ruby to lay back down.
"Just give me 3 minutes when I was asleep I found a good melody." Ruby was slapping the doctor's hand away from her currently writing one.
The doctor sighed and the doctor told Weiss that if they need help call for a nurse. Weiss nodded and after the doctor closed the door Weiss began to tear up, "What's wrong Weiss?" The red head tilting her head to the right.
"Don't what's wrong me I almost got you killed and I was so mean to you. Why would you save me?" Weiss questioned tears still going down her face.
"Weiss… My mom told me that some people put a glass face to hide their secrets and if people are in need of help even if you don't like them you need to help them. I repeat Weiss none of this was your fault it was my decision." Ruby said while unpeeling an orange.
"But, I followed you…" Weiss tears began to dry up.
"I knew you were following me. Candice at the Grocery Store told me that you were tailing me with a mobile cart on your head." Ruby said laughing as she put an orange in her mouth.
"Ruby… I'll grant you a single wish. Tell me what you wan-" Before Weiss could finish Ruby shoved an orange in Weiss' mouth.
"Okay… I want you to become my BFF!" Ruby announced.
"Is that IT!" Weiss was shocked in hearing the girl's response.
"Yup." Ruby said while putting another orange in her mouth.
Before anymore conversations were started again, a man with a white suit opened the door and greeted them both, "Hello Miss, I am Walter Schnee of the Schnee Record Labels. SRL for short, I heard here that you saved my daughter from a very deadly poison that could have killed her once it entered her body. I owe you a very big favor." The man said while shaking Ruby's free hand.
"It's fine… All I want is for Weiss to acknowledge me because we got off to a bad start so… I want to be friends!" Ruby said as she was wiping off the citrus' juice off her fingers.
Walter nodded and looked at Weiss, "Weiss your Song Writer gave up… He said, he wasn't getting paid enough and told me that your themes for albums are absolutely impossible. We only need one more song or do you want to cut it short?" The man said.
Weiss thought about it but, her thinking was interrupted by Ruby, "What's the theme?" The girl said while picking up a strawberry.
"Reflections." Walter responded.
"Oh. My. Goodness. I'm almost done with a song that deals with Mirrors!" Ruby said with joy very obvious in her voice.
"Ohh… And where is this song?" Walter replied.
"I don't have it. It's in my school bag but, I can play it for you. Is there a piano here in this hospital?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, but it is on a stage in the cafeteria. Will you perform it to us all?" Walter asked.
"I will." Ruby hopped up from the bed and ran off.
The Father and Daughter looked at each other's faces and walked out to go to the cafeteria. While Ruby was running through trying to find the cafeteria then she heard a simplified version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She followed it and found a little girl playing on it.
"Hello little girl. That was a really nice version you played there." Ruby said trying to be as polite as possible.
"Thank you miss. Would you like to play it too? I can show you." The little girl said.
"It's fine I know how to play it. Want 'a hear a different version of it?" Ruby asked the girl.
"Uh-huh." The girl responded with a grin.
Ruby cracked all her fingers and she began to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by Wolfgang Mozart. Ruby started off with it sounding simple and then she started doing crescendos, decrescendos, accents, and dynamics. It made the piece even more dramatic and everyone in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing and looked at Ruby. Weiss and her father got there not to long after she started and Weiss was really impressed how she made a simple song so complicated. Even Mr. Schnee was thinking if the girl was already hired by an agency.
After Ruby ended the piece with a few chords she improvised, everyone began clapping. Ruby then saw Weiss and her father at the door and she asked, "So can I get a Mic so I can sing it Mr. Shee? No, Sceee?"
"It's Schnee and can someone get her a mic?" The man laughed at the girl's innocence.
Some one set up the mic and Ruby cracked her knuckles and she cracked her head and everyone in the hospital was basically in the cafeteria trying to listen to Ruby. Ruby began and she started with easy chords.
Mirrooor
Tell me something
Tell me who's the loneliest of all
Ruby began to play more dramatic but, whilst speeding up the tempo.
Mirror
Tell me something
Tell me who's the loneliest of all
Mirror
What's Inside me?
Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?
Ruby started playing a contrary motion scale.
Ruby started to make the chorus.
After the chorus part was done Ruby's tempo began to speed up again.
Mirror, Mirror, What's behind you?
Save me from the things I see
I can keep it from the world, why won't you let me hide from me?
Mirror Mirror
Tell me something
Who's the loneliest of all?
I'm the loneliest of alllll
Everyone began to clap and Weiss and her father were in shock of how a high school student managed to play that and was impressed that she was even able to create the piece and lyrics. Ruby bowed and ran down over to Weiss, "So what did you guys think?" Ruby asked.
"Ruby is it alright if I hire you to become Weiss' Permanent songwriter, I know I'm pushi-" Walter was cut off by Ruby squealing and hugging Weiss.
"Of course I would. Not only did I get to make my first BFF, I also am getting partnered with her now. This is the best day ever!" Ruby screamed.
Before Ruby ran to her room again Weiss grabbed her, "Father if she will work with me can she also, live with us. She lives in a very bad neighborhood and-" Weiss was saying but, her father agreed.
"Anything for my little girl Weiss. I'll have people pack your things and put them at our home! Hope to have a nice business with you Ruby Rose. Sorry but, I have to go now one of our clients is being a bit disruptive." Walter said as he walked away.
"WEISS! WE ARE OFFICIALLY BFFs!" Ruby bear hugged Weiss and she let it happen. Ruby let go and she said, "Weiss it's been a long day… I'm gonna go chu bed alright?" The girl yawning her sentence out.
A/N : Guys I know I have another story to write but, I'm writing this for fun and will update this weekly because writers block's a bitch. And also, they aren't lesbians yet that is in later chapters my GF is really getting me into White Rose Fan Fictions and I'm loving it! Because this is, I'm going to be making this a story that clears up my writers block and also, If people want me to keep this going I'll try to make this my daily story. I may need some help with the romance and I think my pacing was stupidly fast in this chapter. It's pretty dumb but, yah! Give me questions and also please don't be afraid to criticize me. What makes us writers write better is when people are telling us what is good and bad. When you tell me something sucks it may break my heart reading it but, it will help me out in the long run! Also, the Rating might change cause of Citrusy Fruity Scenes! Lol, I'm such a perv but, Lemon scenes are fun to right especially when I'm talking to *I'll just give my GF a Pen Name* Sabre_na. I love being in her room and saying my lemon scenes out loud. It's so cringey that it's funny.
Remember to Leave a Review and give me some Questions!
