It was a regular day in Beacon High. We follow our favorite blonde in the second month his junior year, trying to stay up through on of Mr. Ports stories during his english class. Half of the class is already down for the count while the rest either struggle or are doing something. What sucked for Jaune is he is in the front row. He knows the second his head hits the desk he is screwed. To keep himself from the clutches of sleep he looks around the classroom.
What he sees are all just painful memories. The reason why is because most of the people that hate him are here. They range from old friends to people who just didn't like him.
He sees Weiss Schnee, the heiress of her father's company and the princess of Beacon High, taking notes. In freshman year Jaune had a major crush on her. Most would think it would be for her money or her royal like appearance. Jaune wanted none of that. He could see her beauty. Jaune wouldn't say she is hot or sexy but was truly beautiful. He worked up the courage to ask her out halfway through the year. What he got was humiliation in the highest order. Now he can't look at here the same way.
He turned his head and his sights landed on Yang Xiao Long texting on her phone. She is the self proclaimed party girl who lives up to the name. When she hosted her first party in freshman year everybody loved. Jaune can confirm that party was great. He can't say much for the other parties since he wasn't invited to those. Yang has an outgoing personality and calls everyone in the school her "friend". Lots of guys and girls alike had tried to date her but she never said yes. Some say she's dating someone that's in Atlas. Jaune was not liked by Yang much. Mostly because he accidentally pulled some strands of hair off her head and accidentally spilled his lunch on her. After that he spent the longest time in the nurse's office thinking about life.
He looked away and saw Blake Belladonna, the gorgeous bookworm, reading a book. She was the most mysterious person in the school. It came a surprise her best friend is Yang. Blake would always have a book and a neutral face with here. Only her friends can make her smile. Jaune would look at what's she was reading as a way to read new books. He admits a lot of the books he likes come from here. Though she does have one book that has a black cover on it. Jaune has never really talked to her or interacted with her much through the school years. But whenever he would pass her should give this cold glare as if he has scum of the Earth. That was maybe because of her friend group.
He turned his eyes near the back of the class and sees the people he used to call friends. Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, and Pyrrha Nikos. Back in middle school they used to be his best friends. They would hang out, go to the movies, and go to the arcade. But since starting high school they drifted away. With Pyrrha being a sports champion, Nore a wrestling title holder, and Ren a martial artist and unofficial scholar they didn't feel the need to be around Jaune. They didn't leave on good terms. It ended with a slap, punch, kick to the groin, being puked on, and being banned from Yangs parties. All recieved to Jaune. It was one of the worst days of his life.
They were called The Magnificent Seven by students. They were the most popular students of all the school. Each of them having great achievements and accomplishments to be remembered for. All the students look up to them and most of the teachers love them. Compared to Jaune they were nobles and he was a peasant farmer.
Jaune then turned his vision back to Mr. Port who was in the middle of telling how he saved a play with cabbage. "And after long and gruesome run to the theater I entered and with my trusty cabbage and said 'You shall-" Mr. Port was cut off by the bell. "Remember to read the rest of Act 2 of Julius Caesar. We are having a test on Thursday." Mr. Port reminded the class. Since this was the last class Jaune was eager to leave. To bad once he reached the door he was cut off by the Seven.
"I was so close to leaving. SO CLOSE!" Jaune thought angrily. The seven just stood there talking about something he didn't care about. Jaune waited. And waited. And waited. And got tired of waiting. "Excuse me but can you ,uh, make room so some of us can leave please?" Jaune asked as politely as he can. They turned to him looking directly at him. Jaune kept his eyes moving not knowing who to look at.
"Who are you?" Weiss asked rudely. "Oh just someone wanting to leave." Jaune thought sarcastically. He knows not to say this or he would be on the ground in pain. "Oh sorry we didn't know we were blocking the doorway." Pyrrha said politely. "Pyrrha why are you listening to this nobody?"Weiss said while pointing at Jaune. "Yeah Pyr we can do our own thing." Yang said while giving Jaune the dirty. "It would be wise of us to go now since we are hanging out after school." Ren said calmly. "Oh good idea Ren." Yang said already forgetting about Jaune.
They moved out of the doorway and headed to the exit of the school. Noras' shouts for pancakes begin to fade. Jaune sighs and heads to the opposite direction.
Jaune keeps walking until he feels weight jump on his back. He quickly catches the legs and turns his head and sees light green hair and a purple hoodie. "Reese what are you doing?" asked Jaune making eye contact with the girl. "Hey to you too dude." Reese Cloris responds not answering the question.
Reese and Jaune meet halfway through the first year of high school. Reese was a transfer student from Mistrial High and Jaune was a social outcast. Reese approached him at lunch seeing as he was sitting alone and she knew no one at the school. They got along so well they became best friends. Now though they are, as some would say, together-together.
"You didn't answer the question." Jaune said still looking at her. "What I can't catch a ride on my boyfriend?" Reese asked innocently.
"You could have asked babe." Jaune said amused at his girlfriend's antics. "You also have a skateboard that you love more than me." Jaune jokes. "The skateboard isn't as tall as you." Reese jokes.
"So onwards to sanctuary." Reese command. "Whatever you say princess." Jaune teased.
"Hey I ain't no princess" Reese said while blushing. "Says the girl loved being treated as one." Jaune retorted. "Just go already." Reese said while putting her neck into the crook of his neck.
Jaune chuckled and started walking to sanctuary.
When they reached the door, Jaune unlocked it. When he opened the door, they are able to see what was basically their second home. Inside the room there is a couch and coffee table to the side. The most noticeable are the instruments. There was a grand piano, a keyboard(owned by Jaune), a drum set, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and a bass. This is the Music Cherished Club were all music is welcomed and cherished.
The only members are these two love birds and Jaune is president. The reason for that is because The only other member was a senior who graduated two years ago. Since Jaune was a member since he started high school he was made president and Reese joined since she also knew how to play.
No one really knew about the club since they would rather join other music clubs and since Jaune is a member. Because of that, this place became special to the couple as it was the most private place to them at school.
"So what do you want to start with?" Reese asked as she got off of Jaunes back. "You'll see what it is." Jaune said trying to be mysterious and failing. Reese rolled her eyes and giggled. Jaune grabbed the acoustic guitar and sat on the couch. After tuning the guitar he started strumming.
(Play "Say Something" covered by Boyce Avenue and Carly Rose Soncenclar)
After the first few notes Reese gave Jaune a sad smile and sat next to him.
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you
Reese joins while putting a hand on his shoulder
And I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I
will tumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Jaune looks to Reese as he sings those lyrics.
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you
And I
Will swallow my pride
You're the one that i love
And saying goodbye
Small tears come out of Jaunes eyes.
Say something I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere I would've followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something
Jaune sings the last lyrics a bit brokenly.
Reese pull Jaune into a hug and kisses his check. "I miss them you know." Jaune says tiredly. "I know you do. I also know they are stupid for giving up on you" Reese says into his ear. Jaune pulls back from the hug and kisses Reese on the lips. A simple and soft kiss that lasted a like 12 seconds, but felt like 12 life times. When they separate they look into each others eyes mesmerized.
A loud knock came from the door. They sat there frozen. Inside they panicked thinking someone heard them. While they like playing they never really played in front of other people.
They sat there still hoping the person would go away. One knock turned into two, three, four, five knocks and so on. The knocking stops. The couple sighs in relief. Then they heard female voice say "I know someone is in there because the lights are on." Groaning Jaune got up to answer the door.
Opening the door he saw a young girl in a red hoodie. "What brings you here?" Jaune askes awkwardly. "Smooth Jaune, Smooth" Reese thought.
"I heard something and I came to check it out. Also you guys sound amazing" the girl in red says happily. "I need to make this room soundproof." Jaune said already expecting the questions the girl has in stored.
