Monday Night
So during Algebra, I did the only thing I knew I could get someone's attention without talking out loud in class: I stared at the back of Weiss' head. Really hard. I think for about ten minutes into class, she ignored me. Finally — when we could work individually on our worksheets — she snapped her head around and demanded with her glare, "What?!"
I signaled to the clock with eye movement and made a motion to seem like I was eating. Basically I was saying, "Meet me at lunch."
But she rolled her eyes and turned around again. I wasn't sure if she got my message. Then at lunch — me and Jaune were having a debate about what were the best Family Guy jokes (Mine and Uncle Qrow's favorite is Roadhouse! Jaune's favorite is the "I never" game) — when suddenly I was being dragged from behind, by my hoodie. I heard Weiss curtly tell Jaune, "I'm borrowing her for a minute." He goes, "Oh…uh…okay." Then she drags me outside, besides the dumpsters, and goes, "What do you want?"
"Um…" I intelligently say. "W-Well…yesterday… I…I'm pretty sure I saw you at the convenience store…and I saw you get all this junk f—"
Weiss, at this point, slapped a palm over my mouth. "Let's be crystal clear — you never saw me. I was never there. Got it?"
I only nodded my head because her glare was freaking me out (Yang wasn't kidding about it being icy). She put her hand down turned around, and went back inside the cafeteria. This is a minor setback. I WILL break the ice with the Ice Queen.
On a more positive note, I sort of made a new friend in Art today. His full name is Lie Ren, but everyone just calls him Ren. He does some pretty cool sketches (most I notice were flowers, but they're really good!). Turns out he's even in my Health class with his childhood friend. I'm pretty sure her name was Nora. She's SUPER hyper, yet I can't help but smile around her. She's just like Pinkie Pie (n-not that I watch the show or anything…! I really hope Yang never finds the spare key)! No wonder Ren is always calm — when you have someone like Nora around, why would you be worried about anything? Or is it that you have to constantly worry?
Anyway, we were waiting, for more people to load up, for the bus home, — while Nora babbled nonstop about how proud she was of Ren expanding his friend circle and me being his new girl friend (explaining that while she and Ren were together, they weren't "together-together." I'm not one to judge; if it happens, it happens (pretty sure it'll happen).). — when Cardin struck again. Not only did he trip Jaune AGAIN, he managed to grab ahold of his (Jaune's) backpack and shake out all the contents out. Jaune immediately tried to make a grab for his bag, but Russel Thrush (who thankfully isn't in any of my classes, seeing that he's Cardin's unofficial right-hand man) and Sky Lark (who, unfortunately, is in my Health and PE class) were playing "monkey in the middle" with it.
Meanwhile Cardin discovered Jaune's doodles of One-Punch Man. He guffawed while saying, "Still dreaming about being a superhero, Jauney boy? Get real! You don't have the balls!" Then he crumpled up the paper and threw at Jaune's head. Cardin's other friend, Dove Brozenwing (who, sadly, is in my English and Algebra class), laughed in this really rude and mean way.
Then a very strange thing happened. I'm sitting there, looking at the hurt in Jaune's eyes underneath a curtain of blonde hair, and the next thing I knew, I had marched right up to Cardin, glaring at him.
Cardin looked down at me (he's pretty much a good head and shoulders taller than me), cocked an eyebrow, and sneered. "What do you want, pipsqueak?"
I just rolled my eyes at him and quickly grabbed Jaune's bag midair, and put all his stuff back inside, and dragged Jaune to where I was sitting with Ren and Nora.
Behind us, Cardin calls out, "Now you need a girl to stand your ground for you, Jauney boy? That's just weak!"
In response, I wheeled around and blew a raspberry. All Cardin and his friends did was laugh. I didn't care.
Jaune looked pretty down, so I tried cheering him up with some of my best funny faces. I succeeded. After briefly introducing Nora and Ren to Jaune, I told him to stand up to Cardin, but he just laughed saying Cardin just likes to mess around and was a jerk to everyone.
Point taken, but c'mon!
Nora recommended breaking his legs but Jaune chided it was okay. Ren and I glanced at each other, unsure of what to say.
And I STILL felt Cardin, or one of his cronies, staring at my skirt when I climbed off the bus! I WILL figure which one of them is doing that!
At dinner, I told dad about Weiss and Jaune (not everything word for word, just the basic lowdown). He was concerned about Weiss, saying that didn't sound good. With Jaune, dad told me to keep pushing him to stand up for himself.
I hope he's right.
THINGS I NEED TO DO:
1. Figure out Weiss' secret
2. Start being more
A) Independent
B) Self-reliant
C) Confident
3. Stop thinking about food during Algebra
