Serana walked through the halls of signal, making her way to her friends chill out spot. While she was walking she thought about what Weiss had asked.

'Wonder what prompted her to ask me that? Does Jess really show that she doesnt care?' thought Serana, but debated on waiting to ask her herself.

Serana then saw Jessica and Kat at their spot. The spot was a white bench on the second floor by the window. Jessica was lying down on the bench Bag at her feet while Kat was sitting down next to her . Serana walked up to her friends and leaned against the wall.

"Why the lag?" Asked Jessica looking up while lying down. Serana shrugged while putting her bag on the bench.

"Had to pee." responded Serana. Jessica nodded and went back to whatever conversation her and Kat were in. Serana felt bad for seeing her iron skinned god mother cry .

"So, what did you guys think of Weiss's lecture?" asked Serana. Jessica scoffed and gave a simple 'sucked' .

"I dont know a lot about dust but I thought it was pretty good." Responded Kat with a smile. Serana nodded. Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Please it wasnt that good.' spat Jessica, sitting up.

"Something you wanna talk about?" asked Serana getting off the wall and crossing her arms. Jessica was taken back a bit but replied exasperatingly with 'no!'.

Serana decided to drop it for now since she knows better then anyone that getting Jessica to say or do something that she doesnt want to say or do...comes with the price of a headache.

'Jess may be my best friend but shes still a Schnee and that means ,she could be a huge pain in the ass.'

Serana then pulled her scroll when she felt it vibrate in her pocket. It was her mom messaging her.

Ruby: Hey sweetie, how are you?

Serana: Im doing good , something you need?

Ruby: No, just wanted to see how my baby was doing.

Serana: Im doing fine. Auntie Weiss did a presentation today in class and told me she might come see you later.

Ruby:Oh yeah she told me about did she do?

Serana: She did ok , but the class wasnt very interested in it.

Ruby:Oh thats too bad :( You remember that todays your psychiatric and that im picking you up after school?

Serana: Yeah i remember.

Ruby: Alright Baby, your probably busy so im going to let you go. I love you (^3^)

Serana: I Love you too mommy 3

When Serana put her phone in her pocket The bell Rang , signalling second period. The girls picked up their bags and walked.

"Ive got history class now, see you guys in a bit." said Kat waving goodbye to her friends.

"Later kitty Kat!...Sooooo my black haired friend, what class do we have now?" asked Jessica enthusiastically fore some reason, wrapping an arm around Serana's shoulder.

"Your not gonna like it." replied Serana in a sing song voice. Jessica rolled her eyes.

"I dont like just about everything in this school soooooo-spill."

Serana smirked.

"We got history too." Serana said, still smirking. Jessica winced but put on a brave face.

"Thats...Not to bad. could be worse." replied Jessica . Serana's smirk then turned into a huge knew the next part would get a huge reaction out of her friend. Serana stopped walking and put a hand on her hip still grinning.

"Its faunus history month." Jessica stopped in her tracks and looked at Serana with an expressionless look. She stood there blank for about five seconds before abruptly turning around and going the other direction.

"Im going home." She declared plainly.

Serana shook her head and giggled lightly.

"Pardon me princess,but either you have Alzheimers or you forgot that mama Schnee is still in the building giving lectures." The minute the words left Serana's mouth Jessica froze and it was almost visible to see her spine shiver,back still turned to Serana.

" I dont think she would be very happy if she heard you ditched school less then an hour later after you puked all over a teachers desk." Serana kept going. Jessica still stood still in the hall back turned for a moment until she turned around with a annoyed look on her face as she stomped towards Serana who was loving every moment of this.

"If i wanted to learn about animals, id go to the zoo." she said as she begrudgingly walked by Serana to their history class.

"Its just one hour, you can manage." Serana encouraged.

'OH MY GOD! MOM GET THE CAMERA! A SCHNEE BEING RACIST!? Just kidding. A lot of people know that Jess hates faunus and no its not because of her mom. Weiss is actually ok with the faunus and is actually trying to make peace with them. But no matter how hard she tries her families past seems to keep blocking the path to peace.I dont especially like the faunus either but no where near Jessica's hatred...We didnt always hate them,we just had events that made us justified to dislike them.'

Serana and Jessica got to the class right before the bell rang and took the two seats in the far back. Serana had put her books on the table while Jessica had slammed her face on the table. The class room was filled with students, some of them Serana knew others she sees around the school and then there was one Black haired girl by the door,looking extremely shy and nervous. Then the teacher walked in. A large older woman named .

"Hello class. Before we start learning about faunus history." Jessica groans, face still pancaked on the desk.

"Id like to introduce our new student to signal academy." said gesturing for the black haired girl by the door. The black haired girl slowly stepped away from the door and to the front of the class clearly extremely shy and nervous.

"H-hi!...I-i-im Ombra." Said the shy black haired girl to the class murmured a 'hey Ombra' . Jessica raised her head to see the new girl before slamming her head back onto the desk.A few students looked her way and raised an eyebrow but otherwise did nothing.

"Great another one of 'them'."Jessica said . Serana turned to her .

"Another one of who?" But before Jessica could answer her question spoke up.

"Now ,Ombra is already a star in faunus history from her previous school. So i thought it would be nice if one of you gave her a tour of the school." The minute the words left her mouth just about every student shot their hand up and started screaming'ME!ME!ME!NO ME MISS!' . Mrs Benar chuckled, knowing this would be the seemed to blush and smile, she thought that all the students wanted to give her the tour because they wanted to get to know her but really they just wanted the tour to get out the class.

Jessica didnt move an inch after tour guide offer, but the gears slowly moved in her she walked her around,she would get to leave the stupid she considered that she shot her hand up as fast as a bullet.

"Miss please let me take her! Id do anything to get out of here! Ill even put the textbooks away after class seductively since you clearly have a textbook fetish!" She blurted out. Serana couldnt help but cover her mouth with both hands as she laughed at the last part. The rest of the class grew quiet and processed what was said for a minute. was red but not from embarrassment but from annoyance.

"Thank you for the offer miss Schnee! But..." Her annoyed expression turned to a smirk.

Serana noticed Ombra jump a little at the mention of the name Schnee. She just assumed she was nervous about being in the same room as one of the richest person on Remnant's daughter.

"I think Serana should take Ombra around." said Mrs benar ,Serana didnt even raise her hand .But she did this specifically to piss off Jessica and oh boy did it work.

Jessica's mouth dropped and almost hit the turned to Serana and saw that her best friend had the biggest shit eating grin on her face.

"Serana Dear, come up and take the hall pass." Serana got up from her desk and when she did she heard her white haired friend hiss at her through her teeth in anger.

"You are such a slut!"

Serana turned around and gave her the middle finger .

"Later biiiitch!" She whispered back in a playful/bitchy tone.

When she turned her back and walked to the front of the class she heard Jessica slam her head on the desk again, this time hard.

As she got closer to Ombra, she started to understand what Jessica meant by 'one of them'. Ombra had long black hair with blue skin, wearing a white long sleeve shirt with black pants and of coarse the most noticeable trait when up close, black cat ears and a tail to match.

Serana didnt like faunus too much, but always gave people the benefit of the doubt first before determining whether she liked someone or not. Faunus included.

Mrs Benar gave Serana the hall pass and let them leave. While Serana left the thresh hold of the the class she blew Jessica a kiss , to which the heiress pointed the finger back.

Outside the class Ombra was standing patiently , hoping from foot to foot a little in nervousness. Serana noticed and rubbed Ombra's shoulder a little to which the cat faunus jumped a little from the contact but calmed down when she saw what she was doing.

"Relax im not going to hurt you." She said the faunus.

"Why so nervous?" Ombra shrugged a little .

"New school i guess..." Serana nodded.

"Understandable, anyways lets get moving before notices we are still out here." Said Serana Sarcastically, she noticed that she made Ombra laugh with the nickname which was a good first started walking down the hall.

"So do you want me to give you my schedule so you take me to which classes i have?" asked Ombra.

"Nope."

"Uhmm...W-why not?"

"Because if i show to every class around the school regardless of whether you have them or not. We waste time and dont have to go back to that boring class."

"Oh...I...I see." Serana glanced at her and noticed that Ombra was thinking of something.

"Hey if your the school work kinda girl i can just show you the classes you got, no biggie." said Serana. Ombra snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head.

"No no! Its fine! Its just..."

"whats on your mind ?"

"Well I...I..I forgot your name, ahah thats all." explained Ombra nervously Rubbing the back of her head. Serana wasnt buying.

"My name is Serana and come on you werent just nervous about my name were you?" Ombra blushed a little.

"Well I...Uhm...Is-uhm..." Serana gestured for her to continue.

"Uhm...Is there...Racism at this school." Ombra finally asked. Serana sighed.

"There are very few schools in Remnant where there really is 100% white fang attacks that happen almost every week doesn't help the faunus image. But, dispite what most students think, this is the best school in Vale aside from Beacon tho its rare If someones giving you a hard time ,go see a teacher and they should handle it." Explained Serana. Ombra smiled and looked hopeful and thought about making friends in the near future.

"But." Continued Serana,Popping Ombra's mental bubble.

"There are some kids here who really dont like faunus but they mostly attack or harass faunus outside school grounds. If i see them around and point em out to you so you could avoid them...Also,you should probably stay away from my best friend." Ombra's smile faded and then she got curious.

"Why stay away from your best friend? Whoever that is."

"My best friend is Jessica Schnee, you remember the white haired girl in class?" Ombra froze a little.

"O-oh I-I see..." Said Ombra looking down. Serana ran a hand through her own hair.

"Yeah she's...Well a pain in the ass cause she's a Schnee but she really hates faunus and not because of her family history , she wont attack physically unless provoked but will insult them a lot." Explained Serana.

Ombra looked like somebody told her their were no more cookies in the cookie jar...or tuna in the can in this case.

"But why? Her mom has been trying to make peace for years?"

"Her mom is, not her. I cant say why because its private but she had a 'incident' a long time ." said Serana.

"Thats sad...I thought she was very funny in history class..." Serana Shrugged.

"Nothings stopping you from being her friend,just dont be surprised if she hurts your feelings a lot." Serana glanced at Ombra and saw that she had a determined look on her face.

"Whats with the look?" asked Serana. Ombra looked deep into Serana's silver orbs with her own light blue ones.

"Im determined to be Jessica Schnee's friend and show her that faunus arent bad people!" declared Ombra.

Serana stared at her blankly for a few moments.

Then she erupted into laughter.

"HAHAHA oh my god! Thats good!" laughed Serana. after the laughing died down she saw Ombra who had a blank expression on her face.

"Oh shit your serious?" Ombra nodded profusely.

"Oh man ...welp i wish you luck. Fair warning ive been her best friend since diapers and she still gets pissy with me sometimes, and your a faunus she just met so she will probably fly off the handle instantly." Warned Serana.

Ombra smiled innocently.

"Its fine, im used to verbal abuse, happened a lot in my old neighbourhood. Serana smiled.

'Not 's kinda cool and of coarse so ADORABLE! Kat should get along with her if Jess doesnt like her...there will be problems and headaches...' thought Serana.

"Gimme your schedule." asked Serana ,hand extended out. Ombra gave Serana her schedule and Serana skimmed over it with her eyes.

"Well well, looks like your in almost all my classes and *gasp*!"

"Whats wrong?" asked Ombra a little worried. Serana had a huge grin. and showed Ombra her schedule.

"You got my grandfather and great uncle as teachers!" She said excitingly.

"Oh thats cool." Ombra smiled.

"Which means now i have a perfect reason to bother them!"

"Yea-what?" Serana grabbed Ombra by the hand and started dashing through the halls.

"Come on! first stop is my super cool drunkle!" Serana said smiling.

"Did you say Drunkle?"
