Saffrons and Belladonnas
A/N; well then, seems like people like it so far. Kinda hard to tell though, 10 seem to think it's worth a follow, so I'm glad! Still no idea where this is gonna go, Geronimo!

Jaune sighed. He had 5 after school detentions while Cardin got suspended for a week. Something about a repeat offence. All he knew was that he got off lucky on the one time excuse to being a new student and that he got Ms Scarlatina away from Cardin. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Off to classes! Yay.." he thought, opening his paper he looked for where his next class was and headed off after tucking it in his pocket.
He was walking down the hallway when he saw that bunny girl walk out of the girls restroom. He nodded at her and kept walking but she stopped him. "E-excuse me" she said. He stopped and looked over at her, she had a small nervous smile on her face "I-I wanted to thank you f-for what you did back there" she said, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly. "You didn't have to step in like you did. S-so I really appreciate what you did, and it's about time someone put that j-jerk in his place. Thank you." she said, looking away a bit shyly. Jaune chuckled and waved it off "don't mention it. No one deserves to be bullied, especially just because their a Faunus." he said, smiling at her. "anyways,Ii have to get to class, I'm late as in is. If you want you should come sit with us tomorrow." "I-I would like that, thank you." she smiled back at him, albeit a little smaller.

Finally it was PE. he chose this as his elective class because he needed a way to get his body awake at the end of the day, otherwise he'll spend the rest of it feeling drowsy and tired. We walked into the gym and was given a uniform to change into in the locker room. Once he and everyone else were in the gym the gym teacher, Ironwood told them they would be running a mile and then coming back inside to play basketball.
Once they were all outside and they started running the mile his new friend Yang caught up to him and started a conversation. "Where'd you learn to fight like that?" she asked. "Whaddya mean?" "you know what i mean. When you walked over and kicked Cardins ass that's what i mean." "oh that. Well my parents adopted a Faunus girl a couple years after having me. While we were growing up kids would try to bully her either inside or outside of school. Some of them try to beat her up so it was up to me to beat them off. Don't get me wrong, i've got my ass handed to me quite a few times but eventually i learned." he said, laughing at himself a little bit. "Awww thats so sweet. I actually kickbox myself, and I'm pretty good if i say so myself." she gave him a cheeky grin. Then she had a thought. "Hey Jaune, who are your sisters? Have i ever met any of them?" she asks, looking at him questiongly. "No, i doubt it. They never went to this school, in fact, we're from a different town. My family's on a trip to France but i didn't want to be held back for a year to catch up. So i moved in with Ren while we split bills for now." he explained while they kept running, about to finish their third lap. "Oh that's cool. Talk to you later" Yang said, then ran off ahead.

Just as Jaune exited the room he wasn't paying attention, detention with Goodwitch tiring him, and accidentally bumped into someone. As they were falling he reached out and grabbed their arm, helping them stand up straight before they fell. As he looked up to them to apologize his eyes landed on a pair of amber ones, that widened in surprise for a moment. "I-I'm sorry about that, I wasn't looking where I was going." he explained "holy shit! She's gorgeous!" he thought, looking from her eyes to her long black hair with a cute bow on the top of her head, down to those pretty lips that happened to be moving. "I-I'm sorry, w-what did you say? I-I didn't catch that." he said, blushing a bit. Hey! No one accused him of being a charmer! Blake noticed the blush and the stutter and smirked to herself as she eyed him. "I said your apology is accepted, I wasn't watching where I was going either." she said. "He's not that bad looking either. Just keeps getting better and better." she thought "how shameless, Blake." "oh, that's good then" he said "say, what are you doing here this late anyway? I-I was just in detention, you know, because of the fight?" he asked, looking at her curiously. She looks away a bit, a little nervous about his reaction "well.. I just got out of the book club." she explained. "Sometimes we'll stay after school for our meetings, talk about our latest reads, recommend some to others, things like that." Jaune looked interested. "really? This school has a book club? Thats cool. I've only read a few stories myself, about heros and what not." this caught Blakes attention. This handsome defender of Faunus read? "My, he really does get better and better" "Well, I could take you to one of our meetings later in the week if you want? Just to check it out, see if you wanna join?" she said monotonously, yet on the inside she was nervous. Sure, he defended Velvet from Cardin, and kicked his ass too, but that didn't mean he wasn't a trouble maker.
"Sure, I'd like that, actually." "and spend more time with you? Sure!" Jaune said, trying not to look so eager. If he came on a little too strong he might scare her away, and he didn't want that. Even if they didn't end up getting together together, (as Nora would say when Jaune asked her about her and Ren), she would make for a great friend. "All you need to do is tell me what day and where at." "well, the next meeting will be on wednesday, so just meet me outside the library." she said, pulling out her book and starting to walk away "see you then." "Hey Blake, wait up a sec." Jaune called out walking up to her. "You could sit at the table with me and a couple friends. They won't mind, I'm sure. Your more than welcome." he said, a slight blush on his face. Blake didn't really have to think about her answer. "I'd like that, Jaune, thank you." Jaune breathed a sigh of relief, worried she might have said no or thought he was coming on strong. As he walked home he had a wide grin on his face.

A/N; well, tell me what you think! Did i do a good job with the interactions between the characters, or human conversation in general? (i'm secretly a robot 0-0) if they seem ooc, that's either bad writing, or on purpose.
See my thought is, in the world of Remnant, they are going to school to be huntsman and huntresses. A very dangerous and hyper-lethal job where the risk of dying hangs over their head, and these things would affect their personalities, if only slightly. On that note, I'll try not to keep the chase on long, but don't expect top notch romance, i've only ever had that cheesy awkward middle school romance that almost always leads nowhere XD
Any advice and constructive criticism is welcome. I would love to become a better writer, and those things can help.
Cheers! (from an american lol)
ps; tell me of any gramatical errors, I'm only one person and people make mistakes. like eating an orange after brushing your teeth.
