Chapter 12: Lunchtime With The Remnans
Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
Central High School
Cafeteria
A couple of hours went by and lunch period has started. Jacob and his friends, RWBY, and JNPR met up in the cafeteria to get their lunches. They all then sat at a table together.
"So what do you think of the school here?" Kelly asked.
"Other than the disgusting bathrooms, this place is not so bad," Weiss said.
"Yeah, no argument on the bathrooms," Ricky said.
"There are so many things about Earth that are interesting," Ren said.
"I understand that Earth has wars, but I didn't think they would be so brutal, violent, and deadly," Pyrrha said.
"The Great War of Remnant looks like nothing compared to Earth's wars," Yang added.
"That's the reality of our world unfortunately," Allen said.
"Yep, Earth pretty much pulled off a 'Hold my beer' scenario," Ricky said.
"And these nuclear weapons, I didn't think there'd be weapons that powerful, but Earth somehow accomplished that," Jaune said.
"Earth has achieved many things that are said to be impossible," Jacob said.
"But why? Why commit these acts?" Blake asked with a hint of anger.
"Look, on Earth to many people, there is no good and evil. There is no black and white. It's all gray," Ricky said.
"What do you mean," Ruby asked.
"Okay, say I'm a terrorist, and I were to strap a bomb to my chest, then I walk into a crowded area then blow myself up and fifty other people, what would you call that?" Jacob asked.
"Evil?" Pyrrha answered with uncertainty.
"I would see that as fighting for my people against oppression and for God," Jacob said.
"That's crazy," Yang said.
"Yeah, but to them that's how they see it and there are some gullible people out there that will believe anything," Allen said.
RWBY and JNPR couldn't believe that there are people out there that can be that crazy to commit these unbearable actions.
"I'll be back. I need to check something for spanish class," Jacob said as he got up.
Just as he got up, he bumped into somebody and that someone was Britney.
"Oh, sorry Britney," Jacob immediately apologized.
"It's alright, Jacob," Britney said.
They both walked off as Jacob looked red. Allen, Ricky, and Kelly all chuckled at Jacob's blush.
"Who was that?" Nora asked.
"Oh, that's Britney Connor. She's the cheerleader captain, number one straight A plus student, and number one hotty in this entire school," Ricky said.
"And Jacob has a little crush on her, and by little I mean huge," Allen said.
"Well she does look like a keeper and has a nice pair of assets, not as good as mine but-" Yang was interrupted.
"Yang!" Ruby whined with a blush.
"So why doesn't he ask her out," Blake asked.
"Two reasons. One, Jacob's shy, and two, Britney gets a lot of attention which annoys her little to no end," Kelly said.
Pyrrha can understand how Britney felt getting attention from almost everyone around her.
Meanwhile Britney was walking to another table where three people sat. The first was a girl wearing a pair of white tennis shoes, a pair of white short shorts, and a light blue sleeveless shirt. She has dark tan skin, brown eyes, her ginger hair was tied into a bonnet.
The second was a girl in a pair of black hiking shoes, a knee high gray skirt, and a white sweatshirt. She has green eyes, short black hair, and small gold earrings.
The final was a boy with a pair of gray running shoes, a pair of blue jeans with a brown belt, and a red shirt with an image of an eagle. He has brown eyes and black hair.
"Hey, Britney," the first girl called out.
"Hey Rebecca," Britney said.
She then noticed the other two locking their lips with each other.
"Uh... Kendra? Robert?" She said to get the pair's attention but to no avail.
"Hey, lovebirds!" the girl known as Rebecca called out as she threw an eraser at the two known as Kendra and Robert, getting their attention.
"Some of us are trying to keep our lunches down."
"Sorry," Robert and Kendra said. Britney sat next to Rebecca.
"You doing alright Britney?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah, I've been stressed out from all of my classes and cheer leading practices," Britney said.
"Girl, I know what you mean. My classes have been a pain in my ass Lately," Rebecca said.
"Have any of you noticed those eight people with Jack and his friends?" Kendra asked.
"Yeah, does anyone know who they are?" Robert asked.
"No idea," Kendra said.
"But there's something familiar about them. I just can't put my finger on it," she thought.
"Are they new students?" Rebecca asked.
"No they all have name tags, so they've got to be guests," Britney said.
"Could they be looking to come here?" Robert asked.
"I don't know, I guess we should ask," Kendra suggested.
"Nah, if they are looking to come here then we should probably leave them be for now," Britney said.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Rebecca said.
Britney thought about the new people here, then decided to put her mind on her assignments.
Meanwhile at the other table, Ricky, Kelly, Allen, and the group of Remnans were eating and talking with each other until Jacob walked back to the table.
"Sorry guys. I had to check something," Jacob said as he sat down.
"So Jacob, you have a thing for this Britney girl, huh?" Yang smirked.
"Shut up, Yang," Jacob said with a glare.
