Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for over 100 visitors to my story. I also like everyone that even looks at my story it means a lot.

Day – 7

I woke up and the only other person in the room was Paloma. I got up and tried to put the uniform on, but one problem is our school uniform is probably the most expensive piece of clothing I've ever worn. I mean there's so many layers and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to put everything on. I mean this stuff was just as hard as putting on my armor for the first time. Then the tie was a major problem. I looked up a tutorial on my scroll of how to put on a tie but I couldn't get it. The fucking Windsor knot honestly doesn't make any sense. After like 10 minutes of struggling Paloma came over and did it for me. After she finished she smiled and walked of the room. That made me blush a little. After that I put on my shoes and ran to go catch her but she was waiting by the door for me. We walked to the cafeteria to meet up with Hero and Scarlett.

When we got to the cafeteria it was eight O'clock. Me and Paloma grabbed some breakfast and went to sit with Hero and Scarlett. As we were walking over the were having a great time, but as soon as me and Paloma sat down Scarlett stopped talking. I said, "Good mornin' how are ya'll doing" Hero said, "Great." But Scarlett just stared down at her food. Paloma mentioned something about classes and this got Hero super excited. Hero said something along the lines of, "I can't wait to learn how to be a huntress and in a couple weeks we start sparring in class. I can't wait for that so I can kick some people's asses." I then asked Scarlett, "Hey are you alright? You don't have to go to class if you don't feel well." Scarlett quietly said, "No I'm fine." "Are you sure Scarlett? You look pale." "Yes." She replied. Then Paloma said, "Scarlett you can go back to bed if you feel bad I can take notes for you." This, for some reason, made Scarlett extremely mad. Last time she got emotional I almost fell to my death. As she got up to yell I quickly turned and covered Paloma. Scarlett then yelled, "I said I'm fine!" then after the entire cafeteria got silent I realized that I hadn't been flown through a wall and let go of Paloma. Scarlett then just ran out of the lunch room. Hero soon fallowed after her.

We sat there in silence and ate our breakfast. Then after about ten minutes we got up and left. As we left Paloma said something about going to classes and I agreed and followed her. As we walked she wrapped her arms around my left arm, smiled, and said, "Thanks for protecting me back there, Slicer." "I just remembered last time she got emotional we almost died. I mean I did promise to protect you as long as I was still breathing." Paloma then kissed me on my cheek and it made me blush.

When class started Scarlett and Hero weren't. Class wasn't as boring as I thought it would be, but we did fucking introductions. Paloma went before me. She spoke loudly and clearly, but I couldn't do it I stuttered my way through it and I think a couple people laughed. At the end of the class this girl from team RWBY named Weiss Schnee. She fought a boarbatusk in the front of the classroom. She had long white hair, blue eyes, a white dress, and she had a scar over her left eye. She kept yelling at her team leader who is named Ruby. Now that I'm writing this I realize that they were some of the girls that was screaming on the first that we were here. The classes after that were alright. It was mostly prep stuff for the semester and things like that.

At this point Paloma and I haven't seen the other half of our team since breakfast. Paloma had messaged them both several times at this point but they never responded. We looked around and after 25 minutes and finally found Hero at the shooting range. She was impressive at shooting. She would use two revolvers at a time and when they ran out she would switch to the two under them. She saw us walking up and waved. I waved back. When we walked up to her she said, "So what's up? How were classes?" Paloma said, "You didn't miss much it was all introductions, but Slicer here did make an ass of himself, in the first class he kept stuttering." This made Hero laugh. This irritated me a bit but I brushed it off and asked Hero, "What happened to Scarlett? Why did she run out at breakfast?" "Shooter I think it would be best if you went and talked to Scarlett about it. She's I the dorm room. Paloma and I will give you guys some privacy." This confused me but I told them I would talk to her and I walked to the dorm room.

When I walked into the dorm I saw Scarlett sitting on the floor I the middle of the room asleep. She was leaning against her bed and she had a picture in her hand. When I got closer I could tell she had been crying. I reached down and grabbed the picture. It was a picture of Scarlett when she was younger and a scrawny blonde-haired boy. I set the picture down next to her. I then took the blanket off my bed and wrapped it around her. I messaged the others to not come the room for a while and sat down next to her. After about another hour she finally woke up. I said, "Hey Scarlett, Hero told me to come see you. Do you have something you need to talk about?" After a couple minutes of silence, she finally said, "Shooter why did you come back, why did you have to come back?" "What? Why did I come back?" "You were dead. You fell 5 stories how are you here? Why are you here?" "Scarlett, I don't know what you're talking about." "On my thirteenth birthday you took me away from the orphanage and to the top of this building, you really wanted to show me something. When we got there, you had a telescope and sandwiches. We looked at the stars for hours you were so into astronomy. I turned around to grab a sandwich the I turned back and you were gone. I looked over the edge and I saw you on the ground. You weren't moving. You were bleeding from your head. Someone called the paramedics and when they arrived you weren't breathing. The orphanage wouldn't let me go see you then a week later I was told you had died in the hospital. I was devastated. I ate maybe twice a week. I didn't leave my room. I stopped talking to people completely. This lasted for about a month. I never got over you Shooter. Everyone else at the orphanage didn't talk to me or didn't like me. You were the only nice one who cared about me and I loved you." "Scarlett, I don't know what to say. I don't remember the orphanage at all. Jack and Diane told me that they adopted me right after my parents died which was when I was around two. They told me I was in an accident when I was around thirteen and that's why I don't remember my childhood." "Shooter when we met that day by the fountain I thought it was you from back then but I knew you died so I tried to ignore it, but he idea of it being you kept building inside of me finally exploded out and I almost killed you and Paloma." She then jumped into my arms and started crying. "Listen Scarlett, I don't remember those days and I'm sorry for that, but if what you're saying is true then that means two things. One Jack and Diane lied to me and I will probably never forgive them for that and two… Scarlett… I don't remember how close we used to be, but can we please be friends, you tell me all about those days in the orphanage, and can we make new memories as friends once again. She continued to cry. "Shooter… I would… love… to be your friend again." This made me smile. We sat there for about half an hour then she fell asleep again. I picked her up and put her in her bed, covered her up, and sat down and started writing this.

I can't wait until the morning. I get to date Paloma, I now understand Scarlett's problem, and now I know the truth about my childhood. I hope it'll be as good as I hope.
