"So, are you guys ready?" The question lingered in the air for an uncomfortable amount of time, Ruby and Blake sharing looks before Penny spoke up.
"Oh well, you see Miss Xiao Long is still, uh, doing her makeup?" the ginger smiled sweetly, trying to pretend the duo couldn't see through her lie like a window. Pushing past Penny to find Yang spread out on the couch wearing black athletic shorts and a baggie yellow top that dropped over one shoulder, on the shirt in big black letters which read, " I have boobs, so I make the rules."
"Penny, I told you not to let them in." The blonde pouted,
"I am very sorry, Miss Xiao Long, but they were very Persuasive."
Ruby stood in place, shaking her head.
"Don't apologize to her, Penny; she's just plain lazy." Proclaimed Ruby, trying to guilt Yang for making Penny lie for her. "Yang! We don't have time for this! Let's Go!" Yang rolled her eyes, huffing but reluctantly digging into one of the many piles of clothes that had manifested since yesterday, pulling out a yellow sundress—disappearing into the bathroom to change. Than reappearing and giving the group an annoyed twirl.
Now fashionably late because of a particular blonde's lazy antics, but just in time for the headmaster to start. Moving into the crowd and making it to the center of the courtyard, a stage placed in front of the fountain. The headmaster's voice sounded calming even as it boomed over the speakers introducing himself as Professor Ozpin. "It is a great honor to have all of you at my school." He presented the teachers by name, speaking of the great privilege that students had been given to learn from the best, that with some luck, they would learn just as much from us as we will from them.
The ceremony ended with the whole faculty giving a mass bow, Ruby and Yang laughing at their uncle that looked like he wanted to be anywhere but the stage. The crowd was shifting, waves of adolescents moving in different directions all at once, Ruby not paying attention to her surroundings, perusal, walked into a certain white-haired heiress. Weiss taking notice who it was, the look of frustrated defeat washed over her. "Do you ever watch where you're going?"
Taking a deep breath, Ruby helped Weiss up, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that, being ditzy kind of runs in the family." Slightly taken aback that the yelling hadn't started, watching the snowy-haired get up on her own, Weiss softened her approach once they were face to face and relaxed that the girl was just incompetent.
"Well, I can see that." She put out her hand for Ruby to shake. "Weiss Schnee." Ruby took her up on what could be a once in a lifetime opportunity, Weiss's hands were rougher than she initially thought, yet they were still softer then Yangs.
Ruby felt electric, shaking Weiss's hand. "I know, I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose." After a short and awkward conversation about how sorry Ruby was, that she would never purposely keep knocking her over and Weiss half apologizing that she kept yelling at Ruby. But the conversation was cut short when a familiar Irish girl started to be heard over the crowd.
"Hello Miss Rose, where did you go?" The ginger was bouncing up and down, trying to see over the sea of people, Yang throwing the poor girl onto her shoulders. "There she is!" Ruby turned to say goodbye to Weiss, but the heiress had already disappeared into the crowd, whether by choice or not Ruby didn't know. not before long, the trio had made it back to Ruby. "What were you doing?"
Ruby shrugged, "Making new friends." Still smiling like a clown. The group moved up to Ruby and Blake's dorm to hang out, ordering a pizza form a place on campus. Yang deciding that Penny being the newest member of her fan club, she got to pick a movie for the quartet to watch. She sifted through the pile of DVDs, until she came upon one with a hand-stitched doll on the cover, with a number nine on its back.
"So, what new friend did you make baby sis?"
"I ran into a girl like physically ran into her, which has become a recurring thing by the by, and each time she got super angry even though I said it was an accident. But this time, she wasn't as mean, so I think she's starting to like my clumsiness." Ruby rambled on about her trying to make friends with Weiss but that she was uber scary.
"If anyone can, it's you, Little Red." Blake proclaimed.
Ruby cocked her head, "Little Red?"
Penny chimed up, with a wide smile. "Oh, I get it, It's because you're tiny and you got red hair." Yang snorted, trying her worst to hold back a smile, and Ruby questioned her friend's sense of humor.
The sun peeked from behind the curtains shining into Blake's eye, causing her to stir in her blankets. Slowly she started her morning routine, looking around, she noticed the extreme lack of super energetic redheads. "Ruby?"
Blake got dressed as she started to pull down her shirt, loud knocking thundered from the sweets door. "Yo, Rubs, let me in! It's big sis!" Upon unlocking the door, the brute of a blonde busted through. "Sup Blakie blue is Ruby here." She asked, helping Blake off the ceiling.
Blake glared at Yang for a second before answering. "No, I haven't; I just woke up, got dressed, got hit by a door, and now we're here."
Yang could tell Blake was irritated and apologized for hitting her with the door and reluctantly got Blake to hug her. "See, you can't stay mad at me."
Blake rolled her eyes, "Yes, you are an enjoyable brute."
The door opened once again, now entering Ruby. She sluggishly dragged bags of pastries and school supplies. Ruby took one look at the two hugging girls and smiled a defeated smile. "I want to die from exhaustion."
"Well, when's your first class?" Asked Blake.
Ruby thought for a moment, "It's six-thirty right now, so about an hour. I just really wanted something to eat before my freedom is stripped away."
"I don't have to be at the athletics building until eight so you can take a nap, and I'll just wake you up." Ruby just nodded and crashed onto the couch and almost instantly fell asleep. "Where are you off to your kitty?"
" Please don't call me that. I have to go to the Library; I volunteered to help as part of my English class." The feeling of being called 'kitten' by anyone again gave Blake the willies.
"Oh, you girls with bows and your books." Yang waved her hand, jokingly.
"Wait, there are more girls with bows, who like books?" Blake comedically raised her eyebrow and leaning into Yang's face.
"No, no, you goofy little creampuff, you're the only one." Blake cocked her head, jokingly brushing imaginary sweat from her forehead.
"Hm… good, don't want you or your sister replacing me." She said with a very confident voice. Yang smiled, grabbing Blake and pulling her into a tight hug.
"Oh, you're too cute to replace!"
"Can you take your dorky bonding moment somewhere else? I'm trying to sleep." Ruby launched one of her combat boots at the pair, making their exit.
Ruby groggily opened her eyes, not recognizing her surroundings, but she did know the blonde her shoulder she was leaning on.
"Yang, did you carry me to class?" Yang nodded in conformation. "You are the embarrassment of my life." Her face had gotten redder than the tips of her hair; the thought of people see her being carried like a child made Ruby uncomfortable, having Yang put her down.
"An embarrassment that you love?" She Asked in the most provoking tone. The two Making it just outside Rubys first class.
Ruby rolled her eyes, " yes, you are an embarrassment that I love." Ruby paused to sit up straight. " Thank you, though; I honestly need that nap." The sister said their goodbyes, and Ruby made her way inside. The room was massive for just one classroom, comfortably sitting over 50 people, thankfully the class wouldn't have that many, the room organized into six rows of seats arranged in a half-circle. A few other students sat in the otherwise empty class.
The rather tall girl with red hair, a golden head charm, beautifully driven green eyes. In the far back was a pouty looking boy with eyed silver hair and finally, a girl with long white hair done up in a side ponytail, gorgeous light blue eyes, and skin that "oh it's Weiss." Ruby thought, smiling to herself, "OH IT'S WEISS!"
