It was winter at the Beacon Acadamy and exams where coming up in just 3 weeks. That meant for one heirness studying till the last minute of the day. Sometimes even missing meals was a sacrafice she made. Circles where visible under her eyes and now and then a yawn escaped her.
It was only 15 o clock but Weiss was exhausted to the bone. 'Did you see that punch from Jaune?!' Bye bye silence, weiss signed mentally. 'Yea, he is definitly improving.' Both sister where laughing as the collapsed on Blake's bed. Rolling her eyes Blake sat next to Weiss.
'Still studying? You did eat, right?' Weiss nodded and went on with studying. 'Thats funny, I didn't see you at lunch' The Brawler on the bed said, never leaving her spot.
'Is that true, Weiss?' the worried voice of her leader asked. Signhing, Weiss turned around to face here. 'Maybe and then what, exams are coming, I need to be prepared.'
'In 3 weeks sunshine, relax, have some fun with us.' Looking back and forth between her teammates she anwsered: 'no, thanks. Unlike someone I want to succeed and gratuated.' With that she turned around. She knew it sounded harsh and she never ment to say it, but the fear of failling was eating her heart.
'What do you mean by that?!'
'Yang,..'
'No, do you think I don't study because I want to fail?!' Weiss didn't anwser. 'I do study you know', the soft voice of the bawler reached her heart.
'Yang, I didn't', Weiss started to apologize, only to lose her words at the sad face of her teammate. Weis closed her textbook, signing. Taking a deep breath she stood up and went to sit next to the brawler, beeing watched by the other two.
'I'm sorry, it's just hard. I'm just used to this you know. The studying, I never had time for friends or fun, wasn't allowed to to be more specific. My dad caught me once playing with a girl and let say he doesn't punched bad kids by putting them in a corner.' This caugth the attention of all her teammeates. Nobody interupted her, they only came closer while looking at her.
'If I don't have top grades he will pull me out of Beacon, he will punish me, and you proberly wil never hear or see me again, I'm only allowed to talk to people of 'my standart', her voice started to shake a bit at the end, but the tried to hide it.
'I don't want to lose this. It is the best thing that ever happened to me.' Weiss closed her eyes and clenched her hands, trying to keep her emotions under control. 'That is why I have to study, okay. I have to, everything I love is at stake if I don't succeed.' Ruby, Blake and Yang shared worried glanced to each other. Nobody said a thing for awhile, tension high in the air. A tear slipped past and Weiss cursed inwards for letting it go.
'Weiss?' She looks up, only to see worry in Ruby's eyes and a flicker of hurt by what she said. 'I can say I understand what you went through, but do know we are your friends. We won't let anything happen to you.'
'Yea, let your father try to pull you away, I will give him some yang!' Blake and Ruby shot Yang an angry glance, but Weiss smiled. 'Thanks Yang, Ruby, Blake.' She wipped once more the tears away, letting the tension out.
Ruby could't keep it inside anymore and jumped on Weiss, followed by Yang. Blake went to sit next to the heirness, giving her schoulder a squeeze. Weiss didn't complain, she would let it slide for once. And comfortable under her teammates she did fell asleep.
when she woke up again, a plate with pancakes a rose and a nice cup of coffee where waiting for her. She smiled, maybe after finishing this she will have some fun.
