Beta Reading by LordOda
One week after Ruby finally met the 'Ice Queen', sure she would often be greeted by the hypnotizing smile of the 'Ice Queen' and her occasional greetings like; "How are you?" or "The weather is quite lovely today, isn't it?" which the dork awkwardly answered, those were only the things that the 'Ice Queen' could only say to her at the moment. Well as for the brunette those were the things that she could distinguished as the 'Ice Queen' as being nice to her, only to HER. Thus, concluding that Weiss is being nice to the dork.
Other than hanging with the 'Ice Queen', the dork started hanging out with her sister's circle of friends. It was composed of four peeps who call themselves 'JNPR'. The one she was closest with, is the blonde guy, Jaune Arc, because they shared the same love for games. Aside from the so called 'JNPR', there are also the laconic bookish lady, Blake, and of course her jock sister, Yang.
Ruby sat along with team 'JNPR' and Blake. At that time Yang was late due to her slowness on taking down important notes in her language class. Also, unfortunately for her, their professor in that specific subject was Ms. Glynda Goodwitch. But Yang dubbed her as Scarewitch, for furiously shooting glares and sometimes throwing her whiteboard marker at the blonde, while she was sleeping in her class.
The cafeteria supports its roof with high marble made pillars; with various cravings and state of the art style. Enormous newly cleaned windows were at the left and right side of the cafeteria. Spruce wooden tables were lining next together, at the ceiling, there was a massive grand chandelier attached, only crafted by one of the high quality producers of interior decors. On her right side was a buffet of extravagant and mouth-watering various foods. That is the only thing that was self-served. And no lunch lady is going to assist you.
Ruby munched her M&M cookies with her right hand, while her left hand was on the school textbook, flipping through various pages and interesting topics, advance reading is what she does. The only things that was distracting her were the noises that Nora and Ren were making. Well to be honest it was only Nora who's talking random things.
The brunette closed her hard bind book as she gulped her milk. She decided to talk to team 'JNPR', thinking of some sort of an interesting topic to them. One idea struck her head. She opened her mouth as she began to speak.
"So..Uhm.."Ren put his spoon down on his silver plate as he turned his head to Ruby. The same thing goes for Nora, she munched her pancake and then put her fork on her plate.
"What is it Ruby?" The green eyed energetic girl asked Ruby with a cheerful tone.
"Uhmm.. Do you know Weiss Schnee?"The 16 year old awkwardly asked while not breaking the gaze at her. But the orange haired girl broke it because she pierced the pancake with her fork and sliced it with her knife. After that she added an extra syrup to it.
"Of course! Everyone in Remnant knows her! Especially her rich family! By the way, why did you ask that?" Nora answered her question and then asked her a question, Ren just drinking his soda while Jaune is teaching Pyrrha on how to play and control his Nintendo ds game entitled 'Pokemon'. Well as for Blake, she usually read her book.
"Well..uhm. I-I think she's nice." Ruby lowered her head while blushing as she awkwardly said. By that statement of hers, Nora dropped her fork and fell on the floor. Her mouth gaped in shock as she stared eyed at her friend. Ren choked on his drink, and then he instantly coughed trying to catch his breath. Pyrrha accidentally dropped Jaune's ds but she quickly caught it by breaking her senses when Jaune shouted 'What!?' at her eardrums. As for Blake she put her 'What the heck are you talking about' look at Ruby.
Nora was the first one to come to her senses she instantly stand and then dashed at Ruby. She grabbed the latter's shoulders. She shouted at the dork in a worried way.
"Ruby?! Is that you?! What happened to the old Ruby?! Have you been brainwashed or hypnotized by the 'Ice Queen'?" Nora shook her vigorously, back and forth. She even checked her two eyes as if she had been drugged by the 'Ice Queen'.
"Wait, what? What are you talking about?" Pyrrha asked her while adjusting her chair. Ren just wiped the soda with his green handkerchief.
"What!? No!" Ruby shot a confused look at Pyrrha and Nora. After hearing that, the once bubbly girl went back to her sit as she adjusted her position. Pyrrha just shot a worried look at Ruby.
The gang was all waiting for the dork to answer. Even the bookish ravenette girl joined them, curiosity was written on her face. A pregnant silence can only be heard at their table aside from the noises created by the other university students.
"W-well.. she's acting nice to me… I dunno why." The brunette confessed as she makes an eye contact with every member of the gang. She wants to prove to them that she wasn't lying, and that is doing so by staring at them intently with her eyes. Those weren't the eyes of liar. Those were innocent.
"Hmmm.. This is awfully new." The black haired boy with a streak of magenta on his hairstyle stated with a suspicious tone. He cupped his chin with the use of his right hand. He surely doubted that the so called 'Ice Queen' was scheming an evil plan to hurt Ruby. By that she could even double hurt the jock. It isn't physically hurt but it can be mentally or emotionally. Or worst, she could possibly make them fight over at each other.
"Well, maybe….the 'Ice Queen'…. Has been planning….." She instantly motioned to her neon pink backpack as she grabbed her flashlight. "SHE MIGHT BE PLANNING TO HURT YOU RUBY!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while she opened her flashlight and pointed it directly at her face. Making her looked like the ones that telling horror stories during camp.
Ruby was startled at the sudden scream/warning by the bubbly girl. As for the others, they all have been expecting this.
"Nora, please, can I have my flashlight back now? And why are doing that? You are making it look like you're narrating a horror story." Nora gave back the borrowed flashlight to the latter.
"Welp, Ren, I wanted to sound like I'm narrating a horror stories, or a soap opera. You know so many evil villains and some of them uses her, uses him, planning to take revenge. Y'know like that?" The cheerful girl explained to her childhood friend [1].
"Soap operas don't work in that way." The magenta eyed boy complained to the turquoise eyed girl with a monotone yet serious voice at her.
"Yes it is." Ren just let out a heavily sigh, one of his eyebrows rose up.
"Name one soap opera that have a plot that deals with the protagonist seducing a character who has power and money and planning on taking revenge?" The magenta eyed lad commanded at the latter with his challenging voice. But his entire outward appearance remained calm and collected.
"Hmmpph, Easy, peasy, lemon, pancake." Nora proudly accepted the challenge. She opened her mouth to say something. "Pasion de Amor [2]." Team JNPR (except for Ren and Nora) just shot a 'What' look at the orange haired girl. As for the calm boy, he just put his right palm at his face. The bubbly girl just let out a heart-warming chuckle as she put her 'peace' sign to Ren.
"Why would Weiss be planning to use me?" Ruby just came back to the topic that they were discussing earlier. Everyone just diverted their attention and averted their gaze to the certain brunette. Her eyes were full of curiosity and one of her eyebrows arched because she wants to know 'why'?
Pyrrha just shot a concern expression at her, Ren and Nora doesn't know where to start first, while Jaune just lowered his head as he scratch the nape.
The dork was patiently waiting for an answer. But, all she can hear is silence. Silence announces its enduring presence. As on cue the chilling breeze of the air conditioner, increases. Coldness embraced their bodies. It sent chills to their spines.
Blake let out a polite cough as she put her ebony colored soft bind book at the table. Everyone finally darted their eyes to the raven haired lady, even the dork.
Her eyes met the fierce and yet full of concern molten gold with a fleck of tawny color eyes.
"Ruby…We all know her.. She will use everything, even if that includes tremendous consequences. I know that Yang already discussed you about her true colors, right?" Ruby nodded in reply. "She used everyone to be her slave, and get everything what she wants. It sounded like a spoiled and pampered brat. And I know that she will use you because you mean everything to your sister."
The dork lends her ears and mind to the ravenette.
"When she hurts you, and you cry, your sister will get hurt too. And it will cause an actual war between Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee. If your sister takes it to the next level, she might even kill the 'Ice Queen', and your sister will be thrown to jail for the consequences of her actions and might get expelled. So if early, you might want to avoid her." Blake warned the brunette seriously.
Ruby was intensely nervousness at that time. She gulped heavily as she adjusted her hoodie. She fished her hoodie's pocket for her crimson colored handkerchief. She wiped the sweat that invades her forehead. But she made a mental note to herself, that she will never give up to melt the 'Ice Queen's freezing heart.
"I think that 'Snow Angel' was starting to be friendly towards Ruby." Jaune joined their conversation with her optimistic thinking towards the 'Ice Queen', Pyrrha heard this and then glared at the blonde.
"What!? Jaune, don't tell me that you're on Ice Queen's side!?" Nora exclaimed to Jaune. The blonde dork just closed his eyes as he scratch his head.
"Jaune, you do know that you and Weiss had a past." Ren closed his eyes in annoyance while the brunette has a confused look towards the black haired boy.
"Ruby.. Jaune dated Weiss during their sophomore days. Jaune was totally serious while the other was just playing around. Everyday, she treated Jaune like her personal assistant. Jaune always carries her books, notebooks and even brings her water bottle during breaks at her cheerleader practice." Pyrrha explained to Ruby with a hint of irritation in her voice.
"After months of being together, Weiss decided to break up with him and then used another random guy. Jaune run up to us, especially to Pyrrha, for not noticing them because of his relationship with Schnee." Ren continued setting his gaze to the blonde boy.
"But 'Snow Angel' and I-"The blonde decided to speak for himself but he was interrupted by the red head girl.
"Jaune, do you want to break up?"Pyrrha suggested to the latter in a serious voice, but the red head's was only joking inside. Sure, she sees what others cannot see in the dork. But little do we know, the red head is just a simple girl that only had one type. The adorkable type. Jaune may be a dork and geek, but that's why she loves him. So therefore the gang all concluded that the red head was the dominate one in their relationship.
The blonde geek almost felt his whole heart crushed as he swallowed his saliva down to his throat. He looked upon the red head's eyes.
"Aww, don't be like that my 'Amazon', I don't want to break up with you." The blonde teasingly pleaded to his girlfriend. Ruby just blushed at the sight of the lovey dovey couple, while the other three just continued minding their business.
"Ruby..are you still going to hang out with Weiss?" Blake asked to the dork. The latter just grinned at her as she put her book in her backpack.
"Of course that would be okay-"
SLAM!
The whole gang startled when they've heard a sudden slam on their table, they've turned to see the culprit. Their eyes realized that it was..
"Yoww baby! Yang Xiao Long is back in the house!" The blonde jock threw her hands in the air, to make an epic entrance.
"You do realized that this is a table right?" The ravenette indirectly humiliate the blonde for startling them.
"Aww, Blakey don't steal my spot light." The blonde pouted at her as she requested, she pulled a chair next to her sister. She opened her yellow bag, she pull the zipper as it reveals some disorganized books and notebooks, so many crumpled papers and ballpens. She fished for some rare bread that the university doesn't even sell.
When she caught it, she instantly cut it by the help of her mouth and then she spit the plastic. She opened it and then grabbed it by her two bare hands, not even using the hand sanitizer or washing her hands, and then she tossed the wrapper on her bag.
She observed her food as if it fell from the sky. Her eyes were full of hunger. Her mouth is drooling. She didn't have time to line up to the buffet, because any minute by now, the dreadful sound of the bell could ring any time.
So she munched her food, eating like a hungry lion. Faster than any coyote, not observing proper eating etiquette, after a matter of seconds she was now finished, she wiped the remaining chocolates on the side of her mouth by her thumb.
"Thanks for the meal, 'Happy Choco [3]'." Yang rubbed her stomach as she sat lazily on her chair, very unlady like.
"Soooo, what are ya guyz talkin' about earlier?" The blonde brute curiously asked them. The two dorks began to sweat as for the two black hair persons just stared at the wooden table. Our lovable bubbly girl was unusually nervous and fidgeting at that time. The red head chuckled nervously.
"Sis, w-we are-" The brunette was ready to confessed to her sister but I guess that the heaven's favor in her hopes; Hopes that she could melt the Ice Queen's cold exterior and turn it into a warm sensation.
RING!
"O-oh! W-would you look at the time!" Ruby stuttered as she glanced at her smart watch as she fixed her things and grabbed her bag and put it to her right shoulder. She instantly grabbed her plate and glass by the help of her two hands. She gave her sister a light peck on her forehead. She dashed to the dirty plate bin, and then put it in there. She walked to the huge doorway very fast.
'What is this Déjà vu feeling?' Yang questioned to herself as she stands and fixed the table. She, herself waited for everybody to leave and then she walk together with Blake. Both heading to their respective classroom.
Back to the dork..
Ruby made on time to her Algebra period. She frantically found her chair, she pulls it and she finally sits comfortably. She sighed heavily as she ALMOST confessed it to her sister.
To calm her down, she gazed at the scenery out the window. She stared into the skies, and the magnificent looking and priceless place. The University of Beacon, highly values cleanliness, not even a small speck of trash could ever see. There were so many trees and some newly trimmed grasses. The color of the clouds were red-orange one with a small fleck of purple on the upper parts.
The huge orange glow signifies the sun, marvelously setting down in its horizon. If the dork had a digital camera, she would surely capture that breath taking scenery. Unfortunately for her, she forgot to bring it. So instead of that, she photographed it by her memory.
She was relaxing in that moment but it didn't last long…
"Hi friend!" The dork broke her senses when somebody tried to talk to her. She saw a mop of orange hair in her line of sight; a pink ribbon was attached on it. Two green eyes met her silver orbs. The latter smiled at her.
"Salutations! My name is Penny!" The latter grinned at her in a cheerful yet unknown accent at the dork. Ruby just awkwardly smiled at her and then she introduced her name.
Classes was now starting, they've grabbed their notebooks and book to their own bags. They've started to take down notes but not taking down every single word that their professor says. Only the important one, while they've been taking down notes, they decided to chat with each other. It turns out that Penny's course was a Mechanical Engineer, while the dork was a ECE, acronym for Electronics Communication Engineering.
They've both shared the love for inventing crazy inventions. Also the orange haired girl is a transfer student that came from Atlas. And she is a late enrollee due to the travel papers and citizenship. But after 2 hours of classes. They've finally parted and both bidding their goodbyes.
When the dork was heading to the university's main exit, she felt her phone vibrated at her pocket. She instantly grabbed it. She typed her four digit number. As it reveals the anime that she currently watching, Sword Art Online; sure every otaku set their wallpaper to the anime that they've currently watching.
She opened her text messages inbox, it reveals a text message to a unknown person. Without hesitation, she opened it without a second thought.
-Greetings, Ruby! Could you please meet me at the library?-
-Weiss Schnee-
Her eyes widened in surprise as she read it. Her hopes on melting the Ice Queen's heart, replenish. She instantly replied at the message.
-OTW, :D-
-Rubeh-
The dork instantly dashed, making her way to the library. Not wandering to the question on how the 'Avalanche' managed to get her number. She made frantic footsteps and her face has a streaming of sweats.
In her mind, she is confident that she will melt her heart. And can turn it into a kind individual.
Because she will drown her by the kindness and purity of her heart.
People can change. They just need a reason or an occasional push.
She faintly thought those innocent words as she made her way to the massive library.
