Today is Friday, November 20th.

I hate Cardin! Why does he have to be such a stupid jerk! He's the worst!

He told my whole English class I was a lesbian.

I was late to class because Blake and I were talking about when we were going to work on our history project and when I walked into English Jaune gave me a look like he was really sorry about something and then I noticed that the whole class was dead silent and I turned around and everyone was looking at me and then Cardin yelled "'Sup fag? Finished finger-fucking Blake Queer-adonna?" and everyone laughed at me.

We had a sub again because Mr. Port's kids keep getting sick and they didn't do anything to try and get everyone to stop laughing at me. The class was totally out of control and I just wanted to read the book but people kept coming up to me and asking me stupid questions.

Flynt asked me if it was true Blake gave me herpes.

Bolin asked me how many fingers I preferred to use or have used on me.

Nolan wanted to know if I was top or bottom or if that even mattered because girls have to scissor.

I could hear Brawnz and Roy talking about how unsurprised they were that someone as weird and nerdy as me was a lesbian.

Jaune tried his best to tell them to shut up, but it was too late.

And then Cardin stole my notebook and wrote 'DYKE' on the cover. That was the final straw.

I had to leave. I can deal with Cardin when he's by himself, but when my whole class is laughing at me and making disgusting comments about me or Blake and after he's been doing it all week long I just couldn't handle it anymore!

I ran to the bathroom but after I left I heard Cardin shout after me. He said "Somebody go make sure that freak doesn't go play with herself!" and a bunch of people in the hallway heard him and looked at me.

I locked myself in a stall and tried to cry as quietly as I could so no one would hear me. I'm not usually so affected by what people think of me but today was just... really bad. They made me feel really bad about myself, like I was inherently wrong or broken or extra weird and I just wanted to go home. I also started thinking about how maybe I shouldn't date Blake because if I hadn't started dating her then none of this would have happened and I would have just been the perfectly normal nerdy girl in the front row and no one would bother me.

But then I thought about how much I yelled at Yang for her unsupported judgments of Blake and how it wasn't really Blake's fault for my sexuality so then I thought that maybe I shouldn't date Blake because people would make fun of her for dating me and I didn't want her to be as miserable as I felt. I thought she'd be mad that people were bullying her again because of me.

I cried in the stall until I heard the bell ring. I cried because people were making fun of me and because I didn't want to be the reason that Blake got bullied again but I also didn't want to stop dating her because finally I was with someone who seemed happy to see me everyday and who I wanted to spend all my time with and I didn't want to lose that because it makes my life so much better. I was so scared that Blake wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.

When I came out of the bathroom Jaune and Pyrrha were there and Jaune had my stuff and Pyrrha hugged me and said that Jaune told her everything that happened and that I shouldn't listen to anything those people said. Jaune put his arm around me and said "I remember everything you told me about Cardin. You said that I shouldn't take anything he said or did personally and that he was just a pathetic little scumbag that wasn't worth my attention. You helped me a lot, Ruby, and it made me feel a lot better about coming to school and dealing with his crap. But you also said that I had to deal with it on my own or nothing would change. I think it's time you take some of your own advice..."

And I knew Jaune was right so I took a deep breath and just pushed everything that happened out of my mind and focused on the rest of my day. I asked them not to tell anyone, especially Blake.

Pyrrha said they promised and also that it didn't matter to them if I was gay or not, they were my friends.

Yang asked me what was wrong during Math but I just told that it was 'nothing' again. She said she was tired of getting that answer.

I avoided Blake a little during Science. I made sure to wave and smile at her so she didn't think anything was wrong but normally I talk to her a lot until Weiss shows up. She took it well, she just talked to Sun instead.

Something was up with Weiss, but when I asked her what was wrong she said she didn't want to talk about it and just wanted to focus on our assignment, so I just focused on doing my best to help her out.

Blake and I walked to lunch together and I could hear people whispering about us and they were watching us and I felt really... bad. Like a mix of scared and nervous and small and ugly and stupid and nauseous. I don't think Blake noticed everyone looking at us because she just kept walking and looking forward and talking to me about our science homework.

I could tell Pyrrha wanted me to tell the group about what happened in English but I didn't want to so I just stayed quiet while everyone talked about their weekend plans. Nora is making Ren take her to a movie, Pyrrha is going bowling with Jaune and a couple of her track friends, and Blake said she was going to hang out with Sun.

After school Yang went to go to her (hopefully) final interview which left me walking home alone again, but then I saw Weiss walking up to me. Weiss asked if she could come over and work on the science homework. I said "Of course!" because I always want to spend more time with my best friend and it always feels great to get my homework done early and I really wanted to talk to her about what happened in English today, just to have someone to listen to how I feel.

We walked home and talked about school and I asked her if Neptune had asked her out again yet and she said no and then she asked if Blake had asked me out again and I said "No, she keeps spending time with Sun" and Weiss said that I should ask Blake for the next date. I'm definitely less scared about it now, but at the same time I kept thinking about how Cardin and my English class made fun of me and how I didn't want to get Blake bullied anymore.

When we got home I introduced Weiss to Zwei and after she pet him for twenty minutes I took him for a walk while Weiss watched TV and then we started on our homework but it only took like an hour because Weiss is so smart and good at stuff so then I was like "Do you want to go home? Because Yang won't be home until five and Dad won't be home until six." and Weiss said no. She said that she "would prefer to stay the weekend here, if that's okay?" and I was like "Absolutely!" because I hadn't had a sleepover in like six years and of course never had one with Weiss so I was really excited.

We set it up so she could sleep in my room and I got a toothbrush for her and a spare set of pajamas and I was so ready for this to happen because it was going to be so much fun hanging out with Weiss the whole weekend!

Dad came home and was surprised to see Weiss and of course the first thing he said to her was "Do your parents know you're here" and Weiss said "Yes, of course. I talked to them about it last night." and Dad shrugged and said "Okay. I hope you like macaroni and cheese. And don't think that just because you're a guest you won't have to help with the dishes!" and Weiss laughed and said she loved macaroni and cheese.

So then we spent the rest of the day hanging out and watching TV and playing with Zwei and talking about Neptune and Blake but when it was getting late and I was starting to get tired and I wanted to talk about English class Weiss said "Hey, Ruby? Can I tell you something?" and I said "Of course, Weiss!" and she said "My parents don't actually know I'm here. I just wanted to get out of the house and away from all my responsibilities for a while. Is that okay?"

I didn't really know what to say so I just nodded and said "Yeah." So Weiss basically ran away from home. That overshadowed my problem a little so I just talked to her about her parents and her home life until she said she was tired and went to sleep. I hope this weekend can help her relax a little and make her happy.

I'm going to try to make this weekend all about Weiss having a good time. I can deal with Cardin for another day or two so long as my best friend is feeling okay.

At least I don't have to worry about anything for the next couple of days.

Goodnight XOXOXO :3
