Tired. Ruby was so tired. She cracked open her eyesand stared at the ceiling for what seemed like forever. Ruby thought to herself staying up all night playing Overwatch on a Sunday was not a good idea. That's when it hit her: Monday comes after Sunday. Monday is a school day. She looked over to her alarm clock. It flashed 8:05 back at her. The bus arrived at 8:10. Ruby shot out of bed, shouting some expletives while she was at it. She was a blur as she rushed around her room, getting dressed, gathering her school supplies, and eating some leftover food from last night all at once. She made sure to throw on her favorite red jacket. Once she was presentable, had everything in her backpack, and had breakfast (more or less), she ran downstairs. Ruby ran past the kitchen, waving goodbye to her dad along the way. Taiyang, her father, looked up from his newspaper, looking displeased.

"Ruby, I explicitly told you not to stay up!"

"I'm sorry dad it won't happen again!" Ruby shouted as she sprinted past him and rushed towards the front door.

Ruby ran outside into the crisp morning air and looked around as she ran along. She noted that Yang, her sister, had not woken up yet as her distinct bright yellow Camaro was still in the driveway. Ruby was sprinting down the street and saw her friend Jaune at the bus stop. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down, knowing she hadn't missed the bus. She jogged up to Jaune and hunched over to catch her breath.

"Up all night again, Ruby?" Jaune asked. Ruby grunted in response, still trying to catch her breath"You know we have a math test today right?" Ruby's eyes widened in terror.

"CRAP! I forgot!" Ruby exclaimed as she shot up and face palmed so hard that she actually left a red handprint on her face for a short time."I'm totally gonna fluke and Dad is gonna ground me" Ruby said while hunching over again in defeat. Jaune chuckled and patted her on the back.

"It's okay Ruby, I'll catch you up on the bus." Jaune said.

"Thanks Jaune, you're a life saver."

"I know Ruby, I know.

When the bus pulled up in front of Beacon High school, Ruby's brain was fried. She stumbled off the bus in a robotic fashion.

"Too much information, brain failing, powering dowwwwwwwn" Ruby said in a robotic voice. Jaune laughed and rolled is his eyes. Ruby continued the charade as the duo walked to the front of the school.

"System override, installing sleep program" Ruby continued in her robot voice. She walked backwards, facing Jaune while doing the robot. Jaune hunched over from laughter at the sleep comment. When he was finished laughing, he looked up to continue watching the spectacle Ruby was putting on. That's when he saw it. Ruby was about to walk backwards into somebody.

"RUBY LOOK OUT!" Jaune shouted as he tried to grab Ruby in time.

"Activating lase-huh? Ruby said when he heard Jaune. He was too late, Ruby back walked straight into somebody.

"OOF" Ruby and the person exclaimed as they fell backwards. In an attempt to save herself, Ruby did her best to turn around mid-air, so she could catch herself with her hands. What she forgot to calculate was that she was falling on top of somebody. Ruby collided with the person, her face landing right into their stomach. The whole courtyard went from laughter and conversation to dead silence, everybody looking over to see what had happened. One girl in particular watched the encounter, her red eyes gleaming. The first thing Ruby noticed was that her face was touching actual skin. Ruby was confused as to why the person was not wearing a shirt. She pushed off the ground with her hands and looked at who she had knocked over. It was a cheerleader in the classic blue and white Beacon colors. That explained why she had hit stomach, as the cheer top cut off just above the belly button. She looked up at the face of the unfortunate soul she knocked over. It was a girl first of all. The feature that stuck out to Ruby first was her eyes. She had deep, light blue eyes. Ruby couldn't stop looking at them. Eventually she looked at the rest of the face and realized she was still on top of the poor girl.

Oh shit Ruby thought to herself. She shot up off the ground as quick as she could, offering a hand to the girl.

"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention and I'm so dumb and I'm super sorry!" Ruby exclaimed. She spoke extremely fast, very nervous because she was about to get yelled at. Ruby felt a hand, an extremely soft hand she noted, grab hers. She got a second look at the girl and was stunned. It was Weiss, the leader of the cheerleading squad. Ruby pulled, helping the cheerleader great, now I'm actually dead Ruby thought. She braced herself for a lecture.

"It's fine, just be more careful next time. Okay?"

Ruby blinked. Weiss didn't yell at her? Weiss didn't try to beat her up? Ruby was confused, but nevertheless gracious.

"I absolutely will! I'm so sorry Weiss!" Ruby said while doing some kind of half bow. The head cheerleader looked confused for a moment.

"You know my name?" Weiss asked. Ruby looked up from her half bow.

"Well yeah, everybody knows your name. You're the captain of the cheerleaders and like the most popular person in school." Ruby said in a very fact of the matter tone. Weiss was taken aback and blushed slightly. Ruby noticed the blush, was confused, and then thought about what she just said. Ruby's eyes widened and she slightly blushed herself. Weiss brushed her snow white ponytail out of her face, it had become somewhat knotted in the fall.

"Well I guess so", Weiss said. "What's your name? I've never met you before." Ruby was almost in shock. For the most popular girl in school to be giving her the time of day and being nice to her? Ruby's confidence shot through roof.

"I'm Ruby, nice to meet you Weiss." Ruby said. She shot her hand out towards Weiss. Weiss was surprised for a moment, and then took Ruby's hand and shook.

"I'm Weis- well you already knew that." Weiss said. Both girls giggled at Weiss's joke.

"Anyway, I gotta get to class. I'll see you around Ruby." Weiss said as she started to walk away

"Same" Ruby yelled. Weiss chuckled and waved a goodbye, so Ruby did the same and smiled. Ruby let out a sigh, she was proud of herself for handling that situation well. That's when she remembered Jaune. She turned around and saw Jaune, mouth agape.

"What's wrong Jaune? Chin up! I just made a friend out of the most popular girl in school" Ruby said. Ruby promptly turned and exaggeratedly skipped to the front door. She opened it, turned to Jaune, yelled, "See you in math!" and walked inside.

Jaune just stood there by himself in the courtyard, mouth still hanging open.

So that was chapter one! Like I said it's my first time doing this so feedback is much appreciated!
