Chapter 7
POV: Rocket
Weeks had gone by since the fight against the Ro-bot, and things seemed normal. Except, of course for the fact that the DANCE was coming up. Basically, it was a chance for guys all over the school to ask the girls they had a crush on out to dance. The fun part, was watching the ones that didn't work. For instance, we were hanging out in the girls' room, when we heard a knock. Weiss walked over and opened the door. Jaune was standing at the door with a guitar.
Jaune: Wei-
Weiss slammed the door in his face.
Jaune: Aw come on! Please open the door…
She didn't.
Jaune: I promise I won't sing.
She thought about it for a second, shrugged, and opened the door.
Jaune: I lieeeed!
She slammed the door again. This time, I think it hit his head.
Yang: And THAT is why they call you the Ice Queen.
Weiss: What? All my life boys have only been interested in the family name and the money that comes with it.
Rocket: Jaune didn't even know who Pyrrha was when he saw her. I doubt he has connected your name with the company.
Weiss: Well, even then, I already have a date in mind.
Yang: And who might that be?
Weiss: It's-
Blake slammed the door open. She had bags under her eyes. She walked over and plopped down into her bed, and pulled her scroll out. She was looking at news stories on the white fang.
Ruby: Still thinking about Torchwick?
Blake: Torchwick, the white fang, all of it!
Yang: There isn't anything else we can do about right now.
Blake: Except no one knows the white fang like I know them!
Yang: Stop beating yourself up about this. We already destroyed his main weapon against us. When you worry about this, you get less sleep. Your grades are suffering.
Blake: Do you think I care about grades?
Rocket: Well, has the research you've been doing given us any vital information?
Blake: Wha- Um… No.
Rocket: Then you don't need to kill yourself for information that isn't valuable.
Blake: I'M. FINE. I can handle a little less sleep. I can take it.
Rocket: But that doesn't mean you should only sleep 2 hours a night.
Blake: I'm going back to the library.
The entire group exchanged glances. We all knew. Blake couldn't keep going like this. Before she could leave, Weiss stopped her.
Weiss: You could at least give yourself a couple days to relax. Maybe until after the dance?
Blake: 3 days? We don't have that luxury. I don't even like dancing anyways…
The way she said that, I'm not completely convinced.
Yang: Well, since Weiss and I are planning the entire event, can make sure you have the best night ever!
Blake: You guys are doing WHAT?!
Weiss: Team CFVY's mission ran longer than expected, so they needed us to cover for them.
Blake: You guys are ridiculous.
Sun: You know what isn't ridiculous? How about me and you at the dance.
Blake: I'm done.
Blake walked out quickly not even looking at Sun.
