These guys gave me the inspiration to write and if you haven't read these stories I highly recommend them. Thanks guys and without futhor ado to the story.
"Yaaang i'm home!" Ruby yelled as she walked through the doors into their small apartment. She looked around for her sister and saw a note on the table.
Hey Rubes me and some friends went out see you later tonight. Moneys on the counter for pizza. Oh and some professor dropped by and left you a letter I put it in your room on your bed.
Love Yang
Ruby crumpled up the paper and sighed. "Looks like another night alone for me." She grabbed her scroll and ordered dinner then sat on the couch to watch some tv.
"what was Yang talking about a letter?" She got up and went to hers and Yangs shared room. She looked around and saw a dresser next to a bed with yellow sheets and clothes all over it with pictures of Yangs favorite bands above it.
"Why is she so messy urgh she barely lives here anyways" Ruby grumbled while cleaning up the shared room. "Now wheres that letter?" She asked herself looking around the room. On her neatly made bed with her red and black sheets was a small envelope with her name fancily written on the back. She turned it over and almost jumped out of her skin the envelope was sealed with Beacon's emblem but what would a private highschool want with her.
Eagerly she ripped it open and read the letter to herself.
Dear miss Rose
Beacon academy received your last exam scores you are the only person in that small public school to have gotten a perfect on everyone not to mention you are in higher ranked classes. We have sent this letter to congratulate you on your skills and offer you a full scholarship to our school. As well as jumping you to a junior. We don't expect an answer for a couple days being this a huge change in your life. I the headmaster at Beacon will visit your house in five days on sunday at noon. Please be ready with an answer by then and I hope you will join our school.
Headmaster Ozpin
Ruby dropped the letter in disbelief what should I do? This is an incredible chance but will I fit in at a private school? She shook her head I have 5 days to think about it and I can always talk to Yang she will know what to do.
The small apartment shook as a loud knocking was heard at the door. Ruby cleared her head as the knock came again. She ran to the door and greeted the pizza guy, payed him and sat down to eat lost in thought. How will I make it? I'm gonna be jumped ahead 2 years no ones gonna want a 15 year old in their class. Who am I kidding I won't make it I might as well decline Ozpin's offer otherwise i'm just gonna make a fool of myself.
"Hey Rubes what's the matter?" Ruby jumped as her sister questioned her not realizing she came in.
"Oh hey Yang." She said as Yang laughed at scaring her little sister. Yang being 2 years older than Ruby was more like a mom to her since they lost their parents in a car crash when Ruby was 3.
"It was that letter, I was offered to go to beacon."
"WHAT!" Yang yelled pulling Ruby into a death hug "Im so proud of you."
"Yang can't breath"
"Oh sorry" Ruby gasped for air as her sister put her down.
"So if you were given this great opportunity why the long face?" Yang questioned sitting across from Ruby resting her head on her hands with her elbows on the table.
"I'm being bumped ahead 2 years and given a full ride. Everyones gonna look at me like i'm getting special treatment and hate me." Ruby said looking defeated as she already made up her mind to say no to Ozpin.
"Ruby no ones gonna hate you. Sure you are being bumped ahead a couple of years but its because you deserve it. Yeah it may be awkward at first but when they see your skills everyones gonna bump heads to know you." Yang gave Ruby a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Yang but I don't know I guess I can think it over."
"Good now I am heading back out I came back because I forgot my fake idea." Yang pulled out a little card with a picture of herself and a fake birthday on it looking triumphant.
"Ok just please be home at a decent time Yang and be safe." Ruby looked at her with pleading eyes.
Yang rubbed Rubys short hair and smiled "don't worry so much sis i will be fine." She headed out the door and the poked her head back in. "Bye Rubes love you." And she was gone with a thud.
Ruby looked longingly towards the door wishing Yang wouldn't drink knowing full well she would get home at 4am and Ruby wouldn't be able to talk to her sis till after school. She got up and slowly trudged to her room and grabbed some pajamas then headed for the bathroom to shower.
