Wow, super long hiatus. I am not going to explain it all here but since I am in the middle of exam season I figured I will create this.
-Weiss PoV-
The exam had only begun fifteen minuets ago and I already see people cracking under the pressure. As for me, I already studied for six weeks prior and the late night sessions at the library had truly paid off. The questions on the paper were not difficult for someone like me it only took a quarter of the allocated time and I was already half way done. Once I had completed this I would have ample time to relax and see how everyone else was coping.
Looking around I took in the faces of people who had given up, had their hands in their hair from frustration or in Yangs case asleep on top of the paper without even opening it. Blake and Pyrrha were also keeping pace with me, they studied with me also although Blake preferred to be alone. Yang and Ruby both had more than enough time to study with us yet they wanted to study together claiming it was 'sister bonding'.
Glancing over my right shoulder I tried to see how much Ruby had done, knowing that she may be struggling. I see her eyes and they were both looking at me, when she saw me looking she turned back to her paper and scribbled something down. I was shocked, I thought she would at least attempt her exam instead of looking at me. Couldn't she wait until the exam ended and we were in the dorms?
I continued on, now feeling the presence of eyes staring down my neck. I refused to turn around knowing that it would risk a fail of the exam, looking at the clock on the hologram I saw that we had another 40 minuets left. Curiosity got the best of me and I turned back around to see Ruby looking at me again. This time I was annoyed why was she looking at me so much? She saw me looking again and put her head back down.
That is when it stuck me, she was not looking at me, she was looking at my paper. I was torn, as much as I loved her I could not bring myself to help her cheat but I did not want her to fail. Usually I would try and move my paper out of her vision and chastise her later, but this time I moved my arm slightly out of her view and slid the paper closer to the edge of the table. I looked back to see her reaction, she peeks her head up and looks at me with grateful eyes. Ruby will have to pay me back later.
From then on I made sure to take my time writing and flipping the pages to ensure that she could see, before I turned the pages I looked around to make sure no teachers were looking. After repeating this a few more times I had finished ten minuets early so I decided to flip through the paper making sure to stop for a minuet or two to give Ruby a chance to read my answers.
The bell startled me when and I saw that time was up. Once I was dismissed team RWBY and I headed for our dorm. Upon entering the room there was a mixture of sighs and cheers. "Ruby, may I speak to you?" I asked, she nodded knowing what we will talk about.
We sat down on my bed and Ruby sat cross legged nervously. "Thank you so much Weiss!" she shouted, she leaned forward and pulled her arms around me, I knew she needed help but not that much help.
"No problem, but did you at least try to study? I can't help you cheat all the time." Blake and Yang have now become aware of our conversation. Well there is not much privacy in a dorm shared by four people.
"I did but it is hard to remember all the stuff needed when the questions asked about a completely different topic than what we covered in class," she lay down and looked up to her bed. "At least you were there to help me out."
Yang spoke up."Yeah, that exam was not fair. Who came up with the idea of an individual study exam? By the way thank you for helping me cram before the exam." Wait, that actually works? I always thought that was a myth.
"Weiss did you answer the questions about the Faunus War, or the Great War?" Blake asked me, I assumed that she chose the Faunus War since she was so interested in it and not because of her heritage at all.
"I chose the Great War since the effects were so influential therefore I could comment more on it." I looked back to Ruby who had completely paled.
"Y- you chose the Great war?" Oh no, "the exam markers are going to think I am crazy. Why didn't you tell me Weiss?" There is no way I am letting her pin this on me.
"I thought it would have been obvious with all the books of The Great War I had been reading, not to mention the ones I showed you. If you were going to cheat why not at least look at the numbers on the questions I answered."
She stood up, "we have to do something, if those papers get delivered then I will fail world history!" She picked up Crescent Rose and quickly changed into her combat outfit, how is she able to do that? "We can ambush the person who is delivering the papers, then steal them and burn them." She then proceeded to search for something to start a fire.
Okay I should stop this, "Ruby, I don't think the other students would appreciate having to repeat the exam. Besides that exam was not even the final exam, I do not know why you are worried these do not contribute to your final grade." She stopped her frantic movements and gave me a questioning glance, "that exam was a mid term assessment it is only to see how well you might do on the real thing. Speaking of which, seeing that you needed to cheat in that exam I will make it my goal to ensure that you pass no matter what."
Ruby seemed to relax at the sound of that and sat down on the bed with me. "Thank you very much Weiss." She sat on my lap and Yang spoke up.
"Well we will just leave you two love birds to it then, me and Blake are going to go 'study' see you later." Yang single handedly cause everyone in the room to blush, I'm impressed that is a new record.
-Abrupt ending-
So here comes the A/N. Sorry I have been gone for almost a year but I had issues and no time to write. Just because I had time to write this does not mean that I have time to make more although I will try the best I can. Updates will not be regular but they will be as frequent as possible.
