Yang,Pyrrha and Ruby continued walking in the hall,leaving the rest of their friends to go to the cafeteria. The walk there was rather quiet .Pyrrha tried to ask Yang whets wrong with Ruby but Yang just shook her head and said she will explain later. Ruby walked quietly,with her hood still on. Pyrrha got a small glimpse of Ruby without the hood when some breeze blew her hood down and had never seen Ruby's face so emotionless.
When they got inside the cafeteria there weren't many people like it is during the usual breakfast,lunch and diner time hours but since older students have classes at sporadic times the cafeteria is open all day long for everyone. There were a few older students who recognised the three girls as first years but didnt bat an eye since most students usually go there to skip classes and just relax sometimes.
Yang gestured for Pyrrha and Ruby to sit down at there usual spot.
"Alright Pyrrha the thing i need help with is very very simple. All i need you to do is watch Ruby while I get her some food." said Yang letting go of Ruby's hand and sitting her down next to Pyrrha.
Pyrrha had a look of surprise.
"Is that it?"asked Pyrrha eyebrow raised. Yang replied with a smile and a 'yup'. Yang then walked off to get Ruby some food.
Ruby sat still in her seat,just staring out into space. Pyrrha couldnt help but feel bad.
'Ive never seen her so sad before.' Pyrrha put a comforting hand on Ruby's seemed to snap Ruby out of her daze and frightened her a little bit.
"Im sorry i didnt mean to scare you...I just wanted to know whats wrong so i can try and help you Ruby." said Pyrrha in a kind tone.
Ruby looked into Pyrrha's eyes intently and Pyrrha looked back into Ruby's sad silver eyes.
"Pyrrha..."Ruby started. Pyrrha started to rub Ruby's back gently.
"Go ahead Ruby im here for you."
"Your a good person Pyrrha, a fantastic person actually...But please...Dont waste your time on someone worthless like me." Ruby said,turning back and looking out into space again.
Pyrrha froze in her spot.
'why would she think she was worthless?' thought Pyrrha. Then she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see Yang standing behind her with a bowl of straw berries and a bottle of water.
"Everything ok?" asked Yang.
"Yeah." replied Pyrrha. Yang placed the plate and bottle of water in front of Ruby and sat down next to Ruby. Ruby sat in between Yang and Pyrrha.
"Im not hungry Yang..." Ruby said softly still looking out into space.
"Ruby you told me you would eat something after first period." said Yang. Ruby stayed quiet, then Pyrrha spoke up.
"Ruby...can you at least have a few straw berries ...for me." said Pyrrha. Ruby sat still thinking.
Yang was surprised when Ruby reached into the bowl and took a strawberry and began to eat it slowly.
'wow, that was much easier then usual.' thought Yang in surprise. Ruby must have been hungry and dehydrated because she had eaten the whole bowl of strawberries and drank the entire bottle of water.
"feel better?" asked Yang. Ruby shrugged.
"I guess..."
"Alright back to class i guess." said Yang holding Ruby's hand and walking out of the cafeteria with Pyrrha behind them.
Yang turned around and mouthed a 'thank you' to Pyrrha and Pyrrha replied by mouthing a 'your welcome'.
