"Hey, Jake." Will whispered.
"Yeah?" Jake answered weakly. He was holding an ice pack to his thigh and looked over all exhausted.
"First of all, what happened to you?" Will asked.
"I pulled a muscle running. I AM getting fifty bucks, dude." Jake said.
"Run Forest run." Will smirked.
"F*** you. " Jake said.
"Whatever, now to the point, can I buy your sister?" Will asked.
"Buy Molly? Dude, I said you can have her." Jake said.
"She doesn't think so. She claims it's not about the money, but let's face it, I can buy ANYTHING." Will explained.
"Yeah, being a trillionare has its advantages, doesn't it?" Jake commented.
"Yes, I was hoping you'd know what price she's got in mind." Will said.
"I don't know. Ask her." Jake said.
"Mr. Shwartz! Mr. Wu'Kong! Pay attention or I'll separate you two!" Yang slapped the ruler on their table.
"Y-Yes, Ma'am!" the exclaimed in fear.
"Oki doki! Where were we? Oh yeah, the essay. I want a five paragraph essay on my desk by Thursday answering the question, 'What is art?'. Got it! OK! Class dismissed." Yang walked back to her desk, set her ruler she named Mr. Nasty ( much like the spanking spoon Summer used on her) on her desk, and ran to the cooking room for lunch.
"Hey, Molly, can I talk to you?" Will started.
"What's up?" Molly asked.
"How much do you cost?" Will asked.
"I don't have a price." Molly said.
"Nonsense! Anything that can be bought has a price. What is it?"
"I can't be bought."
"Yes, you can, just name your price."
"I can't be bought."
"I can buy anything or anyone, let me buy you!"
...
Molly walked down the hall and started to pull her books out of her locker when suddenly -
"How much money do I have to pay to buy you?"
"I can't be bought!"
...
Molly was sitting in her class and it was just her luck that you know who was sitting right next to her.
"SPS! Molly, how much do I have to pay to buy you?"
"I can't be bought you idiot."
"YAY! You two can be lab partners since you're getting along so well." Ruby said upon seeing the two talking.
"WHAT!"
"YES!"
...
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Yuki, I'll be out in a minute to help you with your homework." Molly called from the other side of the bathroom door.
"How much do I have to pay to buy you?"
"GAH! WILL, YOU CREEPER! I CAN'T BE BOUGHT!"
...
"Hey, Molly, how much do I have to pay to buy you?" Will asked as he twirled his ribbon around since he was taking advantage of the unwanted extra class.
" ' .Bought. Ask me one more time and I'm going to make that pretty boy face unrecognizable." Molly grunted.
"You know, I don't really like it when you play hard to get." Will huffed.
"I'm not playing hard to get, I'm being serious. You see, this just proves the little respect you have for me. I'm not some TV in the store or a cute little kitten. I'm a person. You can't buy people, and even if you could, you can't buy my love or affection. And if you really loved me, you'd leave me be for the best." Molly said as she got up and walked away.
...
"Painting, calms the mind, soothes the soul. Painting calms the mind and soothes the soul. Calms the mind, soothes the soul, CALMS THE MIND SOOTHES THE SOUL!" Jaquline heard a SNAP! She looked at the now broken paint brush in her hand. "D*mn it!"
"Doesn't look like painting calms the mind or soothes the soul, Jaquline." a voice said from behind. Jaquline turned to see Yang sit next to her and grab a paint brush. "Mind if I join you?"
"No, go ahead. I need to get these backgrounds done as soon as possible, Professor Schnee is growing impatient." Jaquline said.
"Nothings ever on time in her head." Yang laughed. "Is painting some kind of coping thing you do?"
"Yes, it normally calms me down when I get restless." Jaquline said, running a hand into her curly ponytail.
"At least you found better ways to try and forget than I did." Yang said.
"You have regrets that haunt you too?" Jaquline asked.
"Maybe one or two." Yang smirked. "It seems everything I do has some kind of punishment or after taste later on."
"I understand the feeling. I've done some stuff I'm not real proud of." Jaquline sighed.
"Yeah, you're talking to former drug addict and alcoholic." Yang said.
"Same." Jaquline said as she began to paint again. "And thief."
"We've some stuff in common then." Yang smiled.
"Not really good things though." Jaquline huffed.
"Well, that's why we can help each other. When did you start in with the drugs and all that?"
"Thirteen."
"Hmm, I was fourteen. What about drinking?"
"I was also thirteen. That's when I ran away from home." Jaquline sighed. "I was an idiot. All because I felt I didn't fit in."
"Well, call your family up, I'm sure they miss you a lot." Yang said.
"No, they'll be pissed to hear I ditched them for gang life." Jaquline said.
"They probably won't be too happy about your choices, but I know that they'll be too happy to have you home to worry about the mistakes you've made. Two years ago, I lost my daughter. She just ran off, and the last memory I have of her is her jumping into a van and taking off. I'd give anything to have her back." Yang said sadly.
"You really think they'll want me home?" Jaquline asked.
"I know they'll be excited to see you again." Yang assured.
"I-I guess I'll think about calling them then." Jaquline said.
"Please do, they'll appreciate not having to worry sick about you being ok."
...
"Yuki, hold still will you." Cassandra scolded. She was currently trying to take measurements so she could make Yuki's costume for her role as Snow White.
"But you keep poking me." Yuki whined.
"Calm." Cassandra said in an angry voice. Yuki huffed and allowed Cassandra to continue her work. "Go on a diet." and with that Cassandra left. Yuki sighed.
"Am I really that fat?" Yuki asked as she crawled into her bed. She was wearing her school uniform, which has pretty simple. For the girls, they wore black short skirts, and a white polo tee shirt. Yuki personally loved it, always wearing a pair of thigh high striped socks and black mary janes along with it. Yuki grabbed her panda bear, Ming and snuggled it a bit.
(Relax, you're not fat. )
"Yes I am."
(No, you're not. If you haven't noticed, Cassandra's a walking skeleton.)
"But she pretty."
(So are you.)
"No, I'm not. It's ok to say so, Dylan, I understand I'm not a pretty princess or anything."
...
"Hey, something's up with Will." Yuki said. She was currently sitting with Jaquline and Jake at Taco Bell.
"He's depressed because Molly's not giving in." Jake said.
"He's really desperate." Jaquline sighed.
"I wonder why Will has his heart set on Molly." Yuki thought aloud.
"I don't know, Jaquline is the one that kinda looks like a super model." Jake said.
"Molly is beautiful though. Maybe he's into faunus and you're too young." Jaquline suggested.
"I'm not sure if that's the case." Yuki said, looking over at Will, sitting at a table in the corner just staring at his food. "Molly-nee must have really said something to make him act like that."
...
Jaquline stared at her cell phone. How hard was it? She knew her family's number. Why couldn't she just call them? Jaquline sighed, and grabbed her phone, trying use her courage to call them, but was just a bit too nervous.
"They probably won't be too happy about your choices, but I know that they'll be too happy to have you home to worry about the mistakes you've made. Two years ago, I lost my daughter. She just ran off, and the last memory I have of her is her jumping into a van and taking off. I'd give anything to have her back." Yang said sadly.
"You really think they'll want me home?" Jaquline asked.
"I know they'll be excited to see you again." Yang assured.
"I-I guess I'll think about calling them then." Jaquline said.
"Please do, they'll appreciate not having to worry sick about you being ok."
RING RING RING! "Hello." a voice on the other end answered.
"D-Dad, do you remember me?" Jaquline started.
...
"Um... I don't quite understand." Will raised his hand. GROANS. "Never mind, I'll figure it out."
"No, I think you might want someone to tutor you. I want you all to understand so maybe you can ask one of your class mates to help."Ruby said, setting down the bottle of chemicals.
"Uh... Sure."
"I'll help him." Molly piped up.
"Ok, you guys can have the lab after class." Ruby said. Will looked at Molly, who sat beside him. How could he talk to her after everything she said. He knew she wouldn't believe he honest to goodness loved her. She thought he was just wanting someone to boss around. It kinda hurt.
"We'll get started after class. Just tell me what I need to explain." Molly said.
...
"J-Jade, is that you?" the other line asked. Jaquline sighed.
"Yeah, it's me." she said.
