Chapter 2: High School
Earth
Knoxville, Tennessee, U.S.A.
Central High School
November 8th, 2019
It was a normal day in high school like any other day, classes, homework, preparations for college, and the usual teenage drama. The school is now on its lunch period and all the students are either heading to the cafeteria, finding another place to eat, or just hanging out. Sitting alone is a boy waiting for his friends. The boy was wearing white sneakers and a pair of blue jeans. He is also wearing a red shirt with a black sweat jacket around it. He has blue eyes and brown hair.
"Jacob," a voice called out to the boy known as Jacob.
He looked towards the source of the voice and saw three other teens. The first was a boy wearing a pair of black tennis shoes and dark blue jeans. He also wears a dark blue t-shirt with an image of a wolf and a watch on his left wrist. He has ginger hair and brown eyes.
The second was a girl wearing a pair of pink flip-flops, a pair of blue pants with fake gem flower on her right thigh, and a green t-shirt with three gold triangles on her chest, and a black sweat jacket with text across it that said 'RWBY' on it. She has blue eyes and black hair tied in a ponytail with a purple strand of hair on the right side of her head.
The last teen is a boy who was wearing a pair of black sneakers, a pair of black jeans, and a sleeveless green shirt. He has black hair, dark skin, green eyes and looked a bit muscular.
"Allen, Kelly, Ricky" Jacob called out to his friends.
They all walked to the table Jacob sat at and sat around him.
"Alright, let us choke down our crap before we head back to class," Ricky said.
They all started to eat their lunches and talk with each other.
"So have any of you watched the first episode of RWBY Volume 7 yet?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah, this volume's off to a great start," Jacob answered.
"You said it, man. I was on the edge of my seat for this," Ricky said.
"I haven't watched it yet, since I'm not a member of the Rooster Teeth website, so I'm waiting until Saturday for it to be available to everyone. So until then no spoilers please," Allen explained.
"Allen, you do realize that you can come over to one of our houses and watch it right? Ricky, Kelly, and I are all members," Jacob reminded them.
"Yeah I know. It's just that I've been busy with my studies, my classes and all that shit," Allen explained.
"You are welcome to come over to my house and watch when you are not too busy," Kelly offered.
"I'll consider it when I am not doing anything," Allen responded.
"Great," exclaimed Kelly.
"So do you have your math assignment, Jacob?" Ricky asked.
"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Jacob asked back.
"Because I accidentally left mine at home and it's do today and all," Ricky answered.
"Alright, let me go and get it so you can copy off it," Jacob said with a sigh.
"Sorry, man," Ricky said sheepishly.
He got up from his seat and started to walk to his locker. He walked down the hall for a short time and got to his locker and grabbed his homework for Ricky. He closed his locker and started to walk back. But just as he did he bumped into someone, knocking some books to the floor. He looked to the person he bumped into.
He saw a girl with blue eyes, long blonde hair, and a pair of pearl earrings. She was wearing black high heels and black leggings with a pair of short shorts. She wore a pink t-shirt with a peace sign on it and light blue sweat jacket. She also wears a couple of armbands on her left wrist.
"Oh, sorry Britney. I didn't see you there," Jacob apologized.
"No, it's my fault I wasn't looking where I was going," the girl known as Britney said.
"Here, let me help you get those," Jacob said.
They both got to the floor and picked up the books.
"Thanks, Jacob," Britney said.
"It's not a problem," Jacob said.
They both went for the last book and accidentally touched each other's hands. They both back their hands away.
"Sorry," they both said.
Jacob grabbed the last book and handed it back to Britney.
"Here you go," he said.
"Thanks, Jacob," Britney thanked.
The two looked at each other for a short while until Jacob broke the silence.
"So, I guess I'll see you later?" asked Jacob rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, same here," Britney responded.
"Yeah uhh... see ya," Jacob said as they both walked away.
"Yeah... see ya," Britney said.
Jacob eventually walked back to the cafeteria where his friends are seated, finding Kelly with her headphones on, listening to music on her phone, Allen playing Tetris on his phone, and Ricky waiting for Jacob to return. He sat back down with his friends and looked to Ricky.
"Here you go Ricky. Just make sure you give it back once you're done before our class starts," Jacob said as he handed Ricky his homework.
"Thanks man, you're a lifesaver," Ricky thanked.
As soon as Ricky started to scribble away on some paper, Jacob was thinking of how Britney would react if he were to ask her out.
"Would she say yes, or would she say no? I don't know. This is pretty much a coin toss when she practically has the whole school wanting to ask her out in more ways than one. Not to mention tries to avoid any attention put on her, with her being cheerleader captain, perfect grades, good looks, and all," Jacob thought.
