And we're back. Not much I want to say other than I'm sorry. I haven't been able to get any chapters out recently due to me getting sick, but I made it through and I'm working on them now. Also, I made an omake someone suggested, I don't remember who it was, oh well, you know who you are. Anyways, that's all I have to say. Lets get this show going.

The next day...

Welp, school starts today, this is gonna suck.

I climb out of my bed and start my morning routine, y'know, that stuff I did yesterday.

I take a look around to see if anyone else is awake, luckily, I'm the only one. Good, I take the first shower.

I go over to my dresser and pull out my uniform, god, I said it before and I'll say it again, I hate uniforms.

I walk into the bathroom with my uniform in hand and I close the door behind me.

With that, I do my routine and all that stuff.

Once I'm done showering, I step out of the bathroom with my uniform on, but I'm wearing it my way... again.

I look around the room to see if anyone else woke up, and still, everyone is sleeping. What time is it anyway?

I pull out my scroll and the clock on my scroll says 7:30, guess I'm gonna have to wake these guys up.

I take a deep breath and yell, "Hey! Wake the fuck up!" What? I couldn't think of anything else to say.

I see Ren rub his eyes and sit up and he just gives me this blank look, "You couldn't think of anything else to say, could you?" He says, dammit he knows, quick, come up with a lie!

"Hey, quit insulting my intelligence. I'll have you know that I have above average intelligence."

"Too bad it's being destroyed by your bad habits." I'm not even gonna comment on the 'habits' thing.

"What's your deal dude? Why are you being so bitchy?"

"You woke me up in the worst way possible and I'm not a morning person." He says, I fucking called it, about the morning person thing.

"Ok, see, we're learning, this is good. I would have known that if you just talked about it yesterday." I say

"I did, you were just too wasted to think!" Said Ren

"And who's fault is that?" I say, yesterday was a good day.

"It's your fault!" He says

"Exactly, no one's." I say.

"Could you two just be quiet? Some of us are trying to sleep." I hear Pyrrha say.

"It's 7:30, that's why I'm trying to wake you up, Classes start at 9:00." I say as I pull out my scroll to show the time.

With that, the room goes silent. I see Nora sit up and she's giving me this wierd look. Suddenly, she gets up and tackles me to the ground.

"See Ren, I told you cared, even if it's just a little!" She says, I feel as though I'm missing something.

" Uh, what?" I say.

"While you were passed out yesterday after your 'celebration', Ren started to talk about how you probably didn't care about us or the school, But he was wrong! You wouldn't have woken us up if you didn't care!" Nora yells into my ear. Well, I don't care about this school, but these guys are alright.

I look at Ren in faux shock and clutch my heart, "Ren, we pranked together, I thought you knew better."I say, with that, Nora stands up.

"What?! Ren, you pranked with him and lost faith in him?!" Nora yells

Ren simply looks to the side in shame, damn, Nora is not letting up.

"Reclaim your honor Ren!" She says as she points to the door.

His stares at the ground for a moment before sighing and nodding his head. He walks out the door and shuts it on his way out.

"What is happening?" I hear Pyrrha ask.

"I have no idea." I say. We both look to Nora with questioning looks and wait for a response.

"Just wait for it..." Said Nora, what are we waiting for?

"Well then, either of you girls need to use the bathroom? We still have to school to worry about." I ask.

With that, both girls rush to get to the bathroom, but Nora got there first because she was actually standing.

A little while later, I hear a knock at door. I walk over to the door and open it, what I see catches me off gaurd, like, really off gaurd. I see Ren holding a plate with a giant stack of pancakes in one hand and is holding a stack of plates in the other.

"Uh, that's a lot of pancakes..." I say.

"Believe me, your going to get used to seeing this." He says, what is that supposed to mean?

I step out of the way so Ren could pass by, is this the 'reclaiming honor' thing?

He walks past me and sets the pancakes on one of the desks and puts them on seperate plates.

Me and Pyrrha look at each other, she has a face that just say 'what's going on', I simply shrug my shoulders.

He pick up one of the plates and hands it to me and says, "I'm sorry for my lack in fiath, please forgive me." and bows deeply, well, I can't say I was expecting this.

"It's cool dude, other people have done much worse." I say with a shrug and take a bite from the pancakes.

For a second, the world stops moving, they taste sweet, I haven't had anything sweet in a while. Point is, they are pretty good.

I hear Nora step out of the bathroom and rush over to the desk, "Thank you very much Renny."

I hear him sigh once more, "I'm just following the code." He says, what code?

"Uh, can either one of you explain what the actual fuck just happened?" I say in between bites.

"While I don't agree with Jaune's way of putting it, I would also like to know." I hear my partner say.

"Well, when me and Nora were kids we didn't stick to one town, we were kind of like nomads. And in every town we stopped at, we would usually make a friend or two. So whenever we left, we would prank the mayor of the town and if our friend joined us in the prank, we would consider them friends for life. And since you and I pranked Ruby's team together, the same principles apply." Says Ren, wow, I didn't know a prank would mean so much to them.

"Well, you are the only male in our little group of friends, so I have to forgive you. I mean, who else am I going to talk about guy stuff with?" I say, plus, it really wasn't that big of a deal.

I see him crack a smile, athough very small, "That is true, it feels good to be around another guy."

"Yay, now they aren't honor pancakes, they're friendship pancakes!" I hear Nora say.

I shake my head with a smile, I guess I'm stuck with these guys. Oh wait, "What time is it?" I say, I'm not worried, you're worried!

I see Pyrrha open her scroll and her eyes widen slightly, " It's 8:25..." She says.

"Everyone get your uniforms on and hurry up, girls take the bathroom, Ren, I'll just turn my back to you." I say, we are running out of time.

The girls rush to the bathroom with their uniforms in hand while Ren and I are just left in the room. For amoment we just kind of look at each other, "Uh, I'm just gonna turn around now." I say as I turn around.

With that, I start what is probably the most awkward situation I've been in in years.

About five minutes pass, I hear Ren say, "Alright, I'm good."

"Ok, because the silence was getting weird. Anyways, you think the girls are almost done?" I ask.

"I doubt it, most women usually take longer to get ready then men do, although I don't understand why." I hear him say, I mean, he's not too far from the truth, I lived with seven sisters and they enjoyed taking there time.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, seven sisters and one bathroom was not a great way to live." I say, see what this is? This is guy talk.

We share a chuckle, funny, we spent the first half of the morning at each others throats and the other half having a good time, the world's weird like that.

"Wait... seven sisters?" He asked slowly.

"Yeah, it was a tough childhood." I say as I stuff my hands in my pockets.

He walks up to me and puts his hands on my shoulders and says, "I'm so sorry you had to go through that."

"Meh, it's no big deal, I mean sure, they all sucked to live with, but they're family, and you can't hate family." I say, I hope the girls hurry up, we don't have too much time left.

With that, I hear the bathroom door open. I don't even bother looking, I open my scroll and check the time once more, it's 8:45.

"Oh shit, we gotta go!" I say as I rush out of the room. I hope we don't have to deal with shitty teachers.

Ok, this chapter could have gone much better, but it's the setup for a much bigger idea. Anyways, this chapter was also meant to build up a bit of a relationship with Jaune and his team. I'm sorry I couldn't make this chapter better. Also, I feel bad about the woman comment and how they take longer to prepare themselves, I swear I respect women, to a certain degree. Anyways, cya.
