Hey Guys I'm back with another chapter, that I'm writing at 3:05am because I can't sleep, and I'm on holidays, enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 1
Ruby ran as fast as her 18 year old legs could carry her, thankful for the training she had gone through in high school when she was in the track team as well as exercising to counteract the copious amounts of sugar she oh so loved to indulge in everyday. She made it to her class with a minute to spare, and sat down in the back of the room. "Made it." Ruby said, taking a deep breath in to slow down her increased heart rate, then breathing a sigh of relief to have made it to class in time. Ruby enjoyed her creative writing class, the teacher may have been a bit eccentric, but that is what Ruby liked about him. Ruby wanted to have a major in creative writing because she was told many times that her English was superb, and well beyond the average of a high school student, and that was when she was only when she was 15, in which provided Ruby with the opportunity to skip ahead those two years, where she met Weiss. Ruby waited patiently for her teacher to arrive, and not 10 seconds later, a woman will a mane of blonde hair burst through the wooden double doors and situated herself next to Ruby.
"How's it going sis?" The woman asked Ruby, who smirked at the blonde
"Pretty good Yang, I am always astounded at your lack of ability to be punctual to class, I ran all the way from Ozpin's just to get here, and still made it in time, and before you." Ruby replied to Yang, her older brute of a sister who managed to make her way into Beacon University by the immense amount of work she put in to get her grades up in senior year, as well as the tutoring given to her by the Valedictorian of Signal High who just so happened to be her girlfriend, Blake Belladonna.
"It also astounds me Ruby, though it is me to blame for Yang's tardiness." Blake said, coming into the room just after Yang and sitting beside her. "Yang decided it would be a good idea to have some dessert for breakfast, if you catch my drift" Blake continued.
"EW! No need to give me that image Blake, I get it. Also, REALLY YANG!? In the morning, have you no patience?" Ruby said with disgust at first, which the turned into a stern tone as she went to scrutinize her sister.
"Calm down Ruby, I don't normally do that, but a woman has her needs, and Blake and I had the unfortunate luck of not being able to 'do the do' last night because I had to work extra late on the assignment we were given last week, because I am a chronic procrastinator -"
"Also known as being lazy-" Blake and Ruby interrupted
"ANYWAY, so I couldn't have done 'it' last night, so the next morning seemed like the best time. You spend way to much time with Weiss these days Rubes, she beginning to rub her ice-ness onto you." Yang finished, receiving a groan from the other two woman for the horrendous pun Yang attempted to make. Before Ruby could give Yang a rebuttal, Professor Andy Radner walked into the class room, clad in his 'usual' wear of a T-shirt and a pair of long cargo pants, that were not as thick as you would think. Professor Andy a;ways work exactly the same thing, be it rain, hail, windy, snowy, calm or as hot as an Australia Christmas, he would wear the same clothing, except when it came to formal events to which he wears appropriate attire.
"GOOD MORNING CLASS!" Prof. Andy boomed, waking up any student who may have been attempting or currently was sleeping, as well as breaking any conversations the students may be having "Now that I have woken you all up and gotten all of your attention, we will begin our class."
Weiss continued to stare outside the window, watching the snowflakes float gently to the asphalt of the foot path below. Everyone else in the coffee shop had left, and Weiss did not hear the man sit down in front of her.
"Such beauty is the season of winter, isn't it Ms. Schnee" Ozpin stated, snapping Weiss out of her trance
"Good morning Ozpin, I didn't hear you sit down." Weiss greeted, to which he replied with a nod
"You seemed to be lost in a train of thought, now what seems to be on your mind?" Ozpin asked, only to be met with a sorrowful look from Weiss.
"It's nothing that concerns you Ozpin, I can deal with it on my own" Weiss answered, and made her way to leave.
"Is it about Ms. Rose, Weiss, the girl you've been in love with for quite some time now?" Ozpin asked, before Weiss had fully left her chair.
"H-how, how did you know I was in love with Ruby?"
'TODAY! We are going to talking about the subject of Love. The most powerful emotion that any person on this earth has felt, and don't quote me on that. It is one of the emotions felt by us writers that can produce wonderful stories that tug at the heart strings and make people weep with both sorrow and joy. Any of you in here who has felt love or is in love, will understand why it can be used for writing so easily. Love is our entire being, we love writing, we love to eat, and most of all, we love people. Whether it be in a way that is too lewd for us to talk about in a classroom, or just a platonic form of love, it is love NONE the less." Prof. Andy began, and continued to rant on about love, how the emotion the is felt by the writer can be seen when they pour that emotion into a piece of work, and many other aspects of love that is related to writing. Ruby was half listening, which was all she needed to do as her brain can absorb information very well if she only just listened, but the other half was thinking about Weiss, the subject of love brought her directly there, and whenever it did, that sharp pain that she felt in her chest became more prominent, always there, but more noticeable once anything related to Weiss came into Ruby's conscience. This meant that, for Ruby, she felt this pain almost all the time.
"YOUR ASSIGNMENT! Once you have handed the one I gave you all last week at the end of this lesson, is to write yet another piece of work, with a twist" Prof. Andy announced, intriguing everybody in the classroom. "
In all the assignments I have given, you have all had a page limit, a topic and a stimulus to work off of, but this time, is different. There is no page limit, you have been given your topic, which if you were not paying attention, looking at you James, is Love, and your stimulus is non-existent." This shocked the whole room of student, baffled at the fact that there was no stimulus,
"Every year I give out this assignment, and ever since the first assignment, only 1 student has received an A-grade, only 10 students have received a B-grade, and only 30 students have passed this assignment." The entirety of the classroom stared wide-eyed and gob-smacked at their professor.
"This assignment, is intended to separate the writers fro, the people who know how to write, for to be a writer you not only have to walk the walk and have the ability to write, you must be able to take the emotions you feel and put them onto paper, or your work might as well have been simulated by a computer. I will give you the same amount of time as every other class who I have given this assignment, you have 3 weeks to write. That should give you ample time to think back and reflect on past love you have felt, or to build up your courage and to seek out the one you love." Prof. Andy finished, sending a subtle wink to Ruby, not caught by anyone else but the recipient. The bell went and Prof. Andy sent a loud clap that resonated throughout the class room.
"GOOD LESSON TODAY! Leave your previous assignment on my desk before you head out, and have a wonderful day." Prof. Andy said as he dismissed the class. Everyone left except for Ruby, who had her next class not for another hour.
"Excuse me, Professor, why did you wink at me at the end of your announcement about the assignment?" Ruby asked, Prof. Andy just smiled.
"Oh, I know more than you think , and please, call me Andy, we have known each other for two years, there is no need for these formalities any more, besides, we have got time so might as well get comfortable, after all, we are here to talk about Weiss, right?"
"It was quite obvious Ms. Schnee that you have fallen for that little Rose. She is quite adorable, and I have seen that look many times over the years. I have seen it in customers, people walked down the footpath, and even back when I was in school." Ozpin answered, Weiss utterly shocked at the revelation of Ozpin knowing the one secret she thought she had hidden so well over the years.
"I-I thought I hid my emotions so well, how many people noticed!?" Weiss said, on the verge of freaking out, Ozpin reached over the table and placed his hands on top of hers.
"It is quite alright, Ms. Schnee, only I know of the ordeal you are going through, any regular passer-by would not suspect anything in the slightest, however, I am no passer-by, I have seen the way you look at her when you come into my store every morning, right on cue, as if it were cogs in a wrist watch, never failing to keep time. This is not my first time talking about a similar problem, so, how about we start from the beginning. Tell my what worries you the most right now, now that you know that I know about your feelings towards Ms. Rose?" Ozpin asked and she looked at him with utter fear in her eyes to convey how she felt everywhere
"The fact that you know that I'm gay. I just can't deal with the fact that even though homosexuals are accepted, I can't help but feel that I am somehow still discriminated against." Weiss answered, Ozpin chuckled
"It is quite alright Weiss, I would not look at you differently if you decided to become a man, now, what is your next biggest worry about your situation?" Ozpin asked
"Well, if you need to know, let me start by telling you where it all began..."
"Andy, how..how do you know that I love Weiss?" Ruby asked, shocked that her professor even knows about Weiss, let alone knows about her feelings.
"Well, it is quite obvious, I have gone to Ozpin's many a time and I see you there with her, and see the obvious hint of absolute delight you get when you spend time with her, yet the very prominent feeling of detriment as well. The fact that I know her name is probably on your mind right now, so I will be blunt about the fact. I'm her uncle, from her mother's side, her dad carries the Schnee title, so I have my sisters maiden name." Andy said, leaving Ruby time to process everything before continuing.
"So, now that the formalities are cleared out of the way, please, tell me why you have that hint of detriment in you eyes, even now as we speak about Weiss, whenever you are around or thinking about my niece?" Andy asked, Ruby took in a deep breath.
"Well, if you really must know, and it will help to get this off of my chest, let me start from the beginning..."
