Chapter twenty one.
Back to school soon...
Yang POV.
The blue haired girl had died and the whole school seemed affected. The fact that someone who was right under our noses could be as depressed as she was, it was shocking. The teachers were still trying to get into her dorm. They didn't want to use semblances or weapons to do it just in case it broke the whole wall. People were still trying to claim that she wasn't dead, Nora was one of these people.
Nora was so convinced about Jade being alive it was as if she'd seen her. There were rumours she was coming back to haunt the many teachers that gave her detentions. I wasn't sure what to think. Apart from the fact that maybe the fact I gave her hard times about things led to her death.
Blake POV.
"Ruby?" Yang called out finally after being in the bathroom for ten minutes.
"Yes Yang?" Ruby said sighing, she was just on her way out with Weiss.
"I need toilet paper, wait you're going out now aren't you?"
"Yeah, me and Weiss are."
"Then Blake can you get me some paper?"
I smiled. "Sure, one sec!" I turned to Weiss. "You're going to the festival in town aren't you?"
"Uh huh, you wanna come?"
"I was thinking maybe for an hour or two you and Ruby and me and Yang cod go out on mini dates and then later we could meet up at the food stall?"
"Sounds good, I'll pop into team JNPR to let them know the plan, you tell Yang." She paised, looking at Ruby for a second. "BYE THEN!" Ruby called out to Yang and I smiled a little.
"Bye guys, have fun."
"Are you coming or what Blake? I really need to get off this toilet or I'll get a ring!"
"What around your ass? Yuck!" I exclaimed.
"Come on then! Hurry up!"
"Geez coming!" I told her the plan when I went in. She and I were becoming more a custom to seeing eachother in situations which wouldn't be acceptable for friends to find themselves in. For example, we now shared the bathroom when we were getting ready, one would shower and one would brush their hair and teeth and what not.
"Any way, I'll leave you be! I need to get dressed intoproperer clothing!"
"Yeah. I need to get my nicer perfume on!"
"Wait what?" I said.
"Well, when I go on a date I wear my expensive perfume and on regular days I wear my cheap one!" She explained. I was surprised I hadn't-
"I'm surprised you hadn't noticed, you're usually very observant!" My jaw dropped slightly.
"You, read my mind!"
"No!" She said. "What do you mean?"
"I was literally just thinking that! Anyway, it doesn't matter. I need to get ready."
I went outside and took out a pair of skull earrings. Nope. I took out a set of tiny elegant sliver ones with little chains encrusted with black gems hanging down. It looked pretty so I settled for that. I then took out my brush and brushed my hair until it was silky. Tying it in a chequered bandanna I was satisfied. I pulled on my best black jeans and a purple shirt. I put a silver summer scarf around my neck and then when I turned around and saw Yang I gasped in awe.
She had decorated her hair with little orange and red gems, put on a matching yellow dress, the frontage on which was covered in identical yellow beads which formed the shape of a flame. Her sneakers completed the look. I tutted.
"What is it? Have I forgotten my perfume?"
"No! It's just, you could've changed your shoes, I mean sneakers? On a date?"
"Ahh! I thought I had forgotten something!" We left the dorm soon after and headed into town. The day light was still imminent but the orange sun was slowly setting. I smiled.
"Yang, maybe we could watch the sunset near the docks? The cafe's over there are lovely!"
"Ok, but we are not going near the dodgy side of that area! Agreed?"
"Agreed?"
So we set off on a brisk walk toward the sea side. We laughed and talked practically the whole way there and I was so happy that Yang, for the first time in the past few days, was no longer blaming herself fir what had happened.
It was then that we saw blue hair. Bright unmistakable blue hair. Black hoodie. Black jeans. Silver capped boots. And two silver knives in sheathes.
She was kissing a ginger haired girl.
Catherine POV.
She put her arms around my neck and pulled me in. She was the most gentle lovely person I had ever met, however, I was worrying how much trouble she would get into when she returned. I brushed the thoughts away and let myself relax into her embrace. Our lips parted and she snuggled into me as we slid down the wall. Her head in my lap I brushed her hair away. She had hidden her jaguar tail back into her hoddie and was now purring softly.
"Hey, is that Jade?" I heard someone gasp from a distance. My sensitive ears pricked up.
"Oh my God Blake, there she is! She has had our whole school in a panic and chaos just so she could spend time with her girlfriend! If I could do that i would! But I know that you and I don't need to!"
I looked up to see a blonde haired girl and a cat faunice holding hands beside each other. The faunice smiled at me softly then looked at Jade.
"I'll handle this one Yang, leave it to me..." she walked over and then sat diwn cross legged about two feet from us.
"Hi Jade. You had our school and teachers worried you know."
Jade looked up. "Hi Blake."
"Hiya." She paused. "You know, Ospin will probably expell you for this. Your death was very... shocking."
"I know, I'm sorry. I was practising my fine art skills. I was also going to an art exhibition where I was to compete so I couldn't miss it for the world!"
"You could've told him that."
"Yeah well I'm not good with feelings and with explaining. Anyway, I met a girl on the way so... leave us be? I'll be back tonight. I'll think of something."
"Ok! Sure! See ya!"
