"There's no way I have a chance with Neo!" Jaune bemoaned. "She hasn't said a word to me this entire year."

"Well, it could be the fact she's mute." Ren chimed in.

He alongside Nora and Pyrrha were sitting at the table with Jaune, enjoying their time together after class. It was closing near the end of the senior year and nothing much of note has happened to Jaune. Pyrrha was an all rounded star in any sport, Ren was king of Home Ec, and Nora can deadlift any weight with anything or anyone hanging on it.

"Oh! Well I… You got me here." Jaune was speechless as the rest of his friends snickered.

"It's not too late, loverboy! Nora concluded. "After all, who knows the next time you're gonna see heeeeeer!" Nora exclaimed partially sing-songy as she looking behind Jaune.

As Jaune turned around, he had seen a very short girl with two different eye colors standing there, looking slightly curious as to what was happening.

"Oh Neo!" Jaune had a shocked look as he slightly blushed looking at this diminutive individual. "I.. Uuuh." He stammered

As he tried to complete a sentence she quickly grabbed her notepad and scribbled on it, promptly showing him what she had to say.

I thought I heard you call my name. Is there anything you need?

'OH THANK GOD SHE DIDN'T HEAR MY GRIPING' Jaune had concluded to himself. He straightened himself out and looked her in the eyes. It was weird looking at them. He swore they changed colors ever so often.

"I uh.. I was hoping to ask you out sometime!"

Jaune's blood ran cold as if he felt his heart stop.

'WHAT WAS THAT!' he shouted in his inner thoughts

'I DON'T KNOW THE DATING SIMS MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY!'

'Well we need to get ourself together!'

Without knowing Neo was holding up her pad for him to look at

Sure. What did you have in mind?

Suddenly his spirit lifts up and swells with excitement and awe! His friends silently watching this unfold. Not daring to move or even breath or else fear they ruin this moment.

"Well I never thought I'd get this far to be honest!" Jaune blushed slightly and casually rubbing the back of his head trying to play off his lack of planning.

Neo smirked and chuckled silently as she started writing on a new page and tore it off.

This is my number. I'm free whenever this weekend so I hope that gives an idea.

Neo put the slip in his hand and waved goodbye as she turned around and walked away to leave. With her gone a certain distance Nora jumps up and starts shaking Jaune around as if an infant had gotten a new play doll.

"Jauney has a date! He actually did something for once!"

"Nora, please! Jaune's done plenty!" Pyrrha states. "Remember when he… At the… Remember when he tried to ask Weiss out?" Pyrrha says weakly.

Nora stops shaking and swinging her friend briefly enough for Jaune to escape the powerhouse's grasp only for Nora to hold her sides as she broke down laughing! Jaune remembered in Sophomore year during Valentine's week before the big dance he went to Weiss's homeroom class with a sombrero and Spanish guitar in hopes to impress her. All that resulted with her being so humiliated that Weiss had given Jaune via a legal team a restraining order and a few months later transferring schools to some private academy.

"Now now. Jaune's been there for all of us! He's… Well he's sorta like a mom to us in a way." Ren had concluded. "He goes to all our events and is always there to support or help us. Remember when we had the hills catch fire just outside of town, he made sure we were alright."

The other two sort of nod, seemingly satisfied with Jaune being taken aback. "Why am I the mom!?"

Neo had started walking away, with her heart pounding. 'What the actual fuck happened?! A guy asked me out!' Neo thought to herself.

She had quickly found anything she could hide behind to avoid people from paying attention to her and she saw a tree to which she swiftly moved behind to calm her racing heart. Neo was rarely talked to at school, let alone at all. Real life encounters were an oddity beyond raising her hand for roll count. So to see a person want to talk to her, let alone want to go out with her, she was more than elated to go out with someone. Anyone!

'Maybe he's just taking pity on me.' she thought solemnly. "Well if Jaune is, he's a good actor blushing and stuttering his way through it. To be honest if I didn't write my reply, I think he would have been to shy to ask me out.'

A Vibration in her pocket makes her stand up straight in attention as she forgot all about the real world surround her. Hey Neo. It's Jaune. How about we grab a movie and dinner at 6:30?

'OHMYGODOHMYGOD HE'S INTO ME!' Neo had thought to herself as she jumped giddily and then stopped realizing she could make a scene.

'Do i message him now? Do I play it cool? What if he thinks I lost interest? Should I try being coy?' Thoughts swam around her head and after a few minutes Neo replied with a 'I can't wait!' as she held her phone against her chest.

'What am I going to where?'

Neo giddily rode the bus home as she was texting up a storm in a group chat she was in. In real life she was a mild mannered individual who kept to herself, but with the internet, you didn't need a voice to speak. She and her three friends would often shitpost on forums or in video games and reveled in the reactions they got.

Ice cream girl: This bitch just got a date!

Firebitch: ooooh. Pics or it didn't.

Em: our midget's getting the D

Mercury with a mouth: ooooooh good one! I bet our little princess was juuuuust at dick sucking height.

Ice Cream Girl: I don't have pics, but man you're gonna see some great ones on Saturday. It's gonna be lit AF.

Neo sighed to herself and laid back in her chair as the bus went to her stop. She hopped off her seat and walked up her block ready to get her PC set up for whatever game she and her friends were going to play.

Thanks everyone for reading! I do hope you like it, and I can't wait to deliver the next chapter!
