Hey Everyone! So I've been watching RWBY and decided I really wanted to write a fic for it. It will be a highschool AU as well as a whiterose ship, with maybe some others thrown in. I've decided to post the first three chapters since I was a little ambitious in writing them this week. So here it is! I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter one
I lay in bed, hoping I can fall back to sleep. It's 7am and hopefully I can get at least a half hour of sleep in before needing to get up for school. You see, it's my first day of school, and I'm really in no rush considering I was so anxious I didn't sleep at all last night. Safe to say I'm definitely feeling the sleep deprivation now. Maybe if I just move my pillow to the right, shift my weight, stretch my arm a bit- ahhh pefect. Finally I can get a little shut eye-
"RUUUBYY!" Blond hair fills my view as a weight crashes onto my chest. My eyes wrench open meeting with lilac ones, glaring at my sister who so kindly decided to disturb my much desired peace.
"UhhHhG, Yangg be quiet you're so loud!" Trying to sound angry instead my voice cracks out in a whiny whimper.
"I'm being loud? You're the one yelling Ruby," A grin spreads across her face.
"Just get out already!" My hand scrambles across the bed until finally resting on the desired object. Using all the force I can muster I whack my pillow into the side of Yang's head, efficiently knocking her off my bed.
With a slight chuckle she props herself up onto her right arm, her head resting in her palm. "No way little sis, it's the first day and no chance are we gonna be late."
"I don't even want to go anyways, just leave me here and go without me."Pulling my covers above my head -as if they'll magically get me out of the conversation- I hear yang give a small huff.
"No way, you're going to get up, you're going to go to school with me, and you're going to have fun!"
Shooting up from my cover, panic takes over my voice. "Yeah, but I skipped two grades Yang, I'm gonna be the weird kid. The little 15 year old 'freshman' in grade 11. Everyone's gonna avoid me!" I tilt my head down, my lip curling into a pout.
Yang just rolls her eyes crossing her arms with this 'matter of fact' kind of pose. "Please, avoid My Sister, pshh the thought! They're going to love you." Another grin splits across her face equal to that of a kid in a candy store. Or me with a cookie. Same thing I guess. Anyways.
"Yang you don't know thattt!"
"But on the contrary Rubes, I do. Now come on, orrrr.. do I have to drag you out of bed?" Taking on a much more sinister look this time, I feel a chill run through my spine. Fumbling quickly with the comforter I toss it off of me.
"Uhm, no, I'm getting up, haha.." Last time she gave me that look I got tickled out of bed, and I'd prefer not to make that mistake twice.
"Good," Resting into a more carefree posture she gives me a quick salute. "I'll see you downstairs then!" I breathe a sigh of relief I didn't know I was holding in when she exits my room.
Willing my feet over to the closet, I simultaneously rub the sleep from my eyes. What to wear today, what to wear. A pair of ripped black jeans catch my eye, my favourite red hoodie also finding its way into my hands. Throwing them on I quickly brush my teeth, my hair however, now what to do with that. Staring at the brown, red tipped, locks I run my brush through a few times. Satisfied I head downstairs for breakfast.
Greeting me first is my dog Zwei as he dances around my feet before stopping, deciding to hop against my shins instead.
"Morning buddy, how are you?" Reaching down I give him a quick scratch behind the ear.
"Bark, Bark" Is the only reply I get, his tail wagging furiously back and forth.
Unable to hold back a smile I give him a final pat before walking down that hall turning into the kitchen. My sister and dad are already sitting down at the table stuffing their faces. Noticing me my dad drops his fork talking through a mouth full of food.
"Morning sweetie! Excited for school?" A flashy smile rivalling Yang's beside him only draws back the smile I had seconds ago.
Dad's always been so supportive and I can't help but feel my anxiousness slip away. Pulling out my usual chair I join the two, looking at the plate left waiting for me. "Yeah, I mean I'm still pretty nervous, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited too."
"Nothing to be nervous about, they're going to love you." His smile takes on a more caring air as opposed to the previous enthusiastic one.
"Yeah! See Dad knows what he's talking about!" Yang pipes up exchanging a quick fist pump with our dad.
I give a nod, acknowledging there comments, as I start to pick at the food in front of me.
Content with the 3 Pancakes, 6 sausages, 2 eggs and piece of toast that I just ate me and Yang collect our stuff, ready to leave for school. It's a rather short walk, about 10 minutes. The moment we arrive I can't help but feel astonished at the view in front of me.
A large stone building looms before me. The architecture is old and only accented by the stone monument outside the front of the building. A large courtyard surrounds the monument, and a boundless forest falls shortly behind the school. We may not live in the center of the city, but to think there were woods this extensive in the area is unimaginable. A small movement on my left pulls me out of my daze. Yang slowly steps back, slinking further away from me.
"Yang where are you going?" I cross my arms as I lean forward squinting at my sister. Whats she planning?
"Wellll... You see Ruby the thing is my friends are here and I think imgonnagowiththemseeyalaterbye" Darting past me I lose my footing. As I fall back, landing on the ground, it doesn't seem to hurt as much as it should.
Dumbfounded for a moment, a shrill voice snaps me back to reality.
"What do you think you are doing? Get off of me!" Something flails at my back.
Looking behind me I've apparently fallen onto someone. Realization hits me and panicking I quickly stand, turning to extend my arm to the individual. Wanting to apologize my breath instead catches in my throat. A girl probably only a year or two older than me dressed in light blue skinny jeans with a white blouse and azure cardigan sits in front of me. What really catches my eye however is her pure white hair and piercing icy blue eyes.
"Uhm, I-i, ah," unable to process words however she impatiently raises an eyebrow. An annoyed scoff escapes her lips as she brushes away my hand standing up. I'm being rude, ok Ruby you need to get it together, another look at her paralyzes me again. NORUBY, GET IT TOGETHER.
"I-I'm so sorry! I lost my footing and well then I fell into you and then I stood up and then you stood up and well now were here, uh, um sorry again, I really didn't mean to fall into you!" Every word jumbles in my throat and I curse myself for my failed apology. Looking me up and down, her face turns to a scowl.
"Yes well watch where you're going and don't let it happen again. Some people here are actually trying to get to class instead of daydreaming." Advancing past me I whip around attempting to say any appology before she's out of hearing distance.
"Yes of course! Sorry! I won't let it happen again!" She doesn't turn around. She didn't hear me, she definitely didn't hear me, or if she did she's too pissed off to care. First day and someone already hates me.
Ok Ruby take a breath, smile, it's going to be a good day. Well, an alright day. Maybe. I let out a deep sigh. Let's just get to class.
