-I felt a warm hand caress me

-"It's all gonna be okay."

-It was nora.

-"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" I said, "I LOVED HER, AT FIRST I THOUGHT I LOVED WIESS BUT IT WAS HER ALL ALONG!"

-"Hey, it's okay i understand, the person i have loved for a long time still hasn't noticed"

Said calmly by Ren

-"oooOOOOOOOOoooo is that PANCAKES, GIMME GIMME GIMME" Nora desperately wailed.

-"CALM DOWN!, RUBY…" Ren gave a scold to Nora, she scoffed, "I have those cookies for you, Jaune take as many pancakes as you need."

Although Ruby was plowing into her giant pile of chocolate-chip cookies I couldn't eat.

-"Naw thanks Nora you can have mine." I said with pure certainty

-"Are you sure, none now means that Nora will try to eat all of your future ones?" Ren asked.

I gave him a thumbs up

-"All righty then, Noooorrrraaaa are you going to eat all of these, I mean there are 10 for you, 10 for me, and 10 for Jaune, but now you have 20, so do you think you can handle these?"

-"JUST GIMME THEM ALREADY GEEZZ!" whined Nora

He tossed them to Nora along with a bottle of syrup and she DEVOURED them in a matter of seconds.

-"OH MY DUST Ren these cookies are GOD like" mumbled Ruby with a empty plate and a full mouth.

-"Thanks Ruby that's actually my favorite kind of cookie so I make a lot for Nora and I… wait Nora why are you silent?"

I looked over, she wasn't there. I hear explosions.

She walks back covered in blood.

-"Sorry about that i saw a Ursa while you guys were talking about cookies." She explained.

They were glad to see me. Was Ren though? I mean we had our differences but he would never want to see me die.

-"Thanks for the pancakes Ren" i giggled.

He laughed.

-"Of course Nora I would do anything for you." He said anything anything what does this mean? Does he like me? Damn I wish I knew. I mean I have liked him since i saw him at preschool. My face feels hot am.. Am I blushing?

There is an awkward silence.

-"Well i say we get this journey on the road." I say to break up the quietness that engulfed us. As we walked down the path i looked over at Ruby and asked her "Hey Ruby what do you think about Ren?"

-"He is pretty cool. Why do you ask?" She responded

My face feels hot, am i blushing again?

- "I….I think he is kinda cute." I whisper into her ear.

-"If you want him go ahead. The only person I'm after is Wiess especially since Jaune is over her." Ruby gossips back.

I'm happy now.

-"HEY REN!" She yells.

-"WHAT RUBY?" He asks.

-"NORA WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" She screams back "you got this" she whispers.

I go back there passing by ruby on the way back. Should i ask her out now? I have liked her since preschool but i don't know if she feels the same way?

-"NORA DO YOU WANT TO GO ON A PICNIC WITH ME" I blurt out. CRAP WHAT HAVE I DONE!

-"FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK THAT!" She responds.

-"Soooooooooooooooooooooo is that a yes?" I say hopefully.

-"Yes."
