Hello once again guys. Sorry I have been in the dark lately, I just haven't had the urge to write until now. I hope you guys enjoy the story.
Ruby was walking through the streets of Vale, on her way to her favourite coffee shop on the corner that was about 5 minutes away from her university. She walked in, hearing the resonance of the bell that was situated on the top right hand corner of the door frame that rang at the entrance and exit of customers. The little shop known most commonly as Ozpin's was bustling with fellow uni students in an attempt to shelter themselves from the cold, relieve their 'frostbite' and fatigue with the brown liquid gold that uni students thrive on, which was known as coffee, or to get a change of scenery from the rather dreary living quarters they were provided with at Beacon to the modern coffee shop in order to do their projects or class work from lessons past. Ruby jumped into the queue and waited patiently for her turn to come up. As she reach the counter, the owner, Ozpin, greeted her with a warm and happy smile "Good Morning Ruby, the usual for today?" he asked in a content tone, Ruby just smiled and nodded, placing her money on the counter and walked off to the side to wait for her drink, allowing another uni student to be served.
Once collecting her drink, Ruby sat down at her table, admiring the snow that began to gentle drift down onto the earth, such free spirits without a care in the world, whose only purpose was to float down, melt, evaporate, become clouds, and drift down once again, whether snow or rain was hard to say, but the outcome never seemed to change. Ruby then glanced at the door as the bell rang, 'Right on time' Ruby thought as a white-clad girl waltzed in with utter grace and stood in queue. The girl was known by the name of Weiss Schnee, the sole inherent of the Schnee Corporation. Weiss and Ruby were friends, and enjoyed each others company, every couple days, at around 10am, Ruby would come into Ozpin's, grab her drink and sit down at a table, and without fail, Weiss managed to come in 3 minutes later to order her drink and sit down with her. Weiss, the girl Ruby had fallen for all those years ago, when they first met in High School, over the dispute of accidentally bumping into her whilst walking, even though Ruby was given a harsh scolding, after she proved herself as not being "an immature dunce", she and Weiss' relationship as friends began to blossom and by the end of the year, they were the best of friends. Ruby was now stuck in the predicament of being in love with someone that she cannot be with. Ruby stared solemnly at her cup, thinking back to the pain in her heart that she had been experiencing for over 5 years now, all of the attempts to bury the feelings deep down down were in vain, and this unfortunately, on more than a few occasions, led to Ruby crying herself to sleep.
Weiss ordered her usual drink of a skim soy latte and once collected, she walked over to the table Ruby was at. Ruby put on her usual façade of happiness as Weiss sat down . "Good Morning Ruby" Weiss greeted with a slightly tired, yet happy tone.
"Heya Weiss. How's ya morning been?" Ruby replied, with an energetic tone which was quite common for her.
"It has been fine, thank you, I see you still drink the same thing every morning, don't you think you should maybe try some coffee for once?" Weiss asked, with a stern tone.
"What's wrong with my hot chocolate Weiss? It's my thing that wakes me up in the morning, and you know how much I openly despise that black tar that is supposedly a 'drink'." Ruby replied, unsure why Weiss would ask that question.
"I know you dunce, I just thought you may would like a bit of a variety for a change, though I can't be one to talk, I have the same thing every morning as well." Weiss says, acknowledging the hypocrisy in her comment, "So, what is on the agenda for you today Ruby?" she continued, as the usual conversation would tend to go along these mornings.
"Ah, just the usual, classes and then doing the readings and homework, same old, same old, what about you?" Ruby asked
"Actually, I have nothing today, the professor I was supposed to have got a cold, not surprising with the weather that we have been having recently, so I have no classes, and just came by to do the same old routine as always." Weiss answered
"That's a bit unlucky for him, but at least you have the whole day to do whatever you want, right?" Ruby questioned
"Indeed, it is a bit unfortunate, but just because something bad occurs, doesn't mean there is a good that comes out of it, what time is your class?" Weiss said, Ruby then glanced at her watch, her eyes widening like she was on a sugar rush, also known as a Friday night.
"IT'S IN 5 MINUTES" Ruby exclaimed, grabbing her drink, saying a quick bye to Weiss and dashing out of the store at an insane amount of speed. Weiss simply chuckled and looked out the window and into the clouds. "How did I ever fall for that dunce?"
