Yang is gonna kill me
-Arff..—Jaune sighed in a tired way. Damned be the day he got sick and trew up on Yang's shoes
-It was Yang again, isn´t?—Asked the asian guy at your side, he drinked a huge cup of milkshake whille carried a lot of shopping bags—. You should stand up against her, you know?
-The same way you stand up against Nora, Ren?—Repleid the blond with a smile on his face.
The young man pondered about what just heard, made a ugly face, and retorted:
-This was low blow.
-It doesn´t stop being true.—Said Jaune while shrugging.
-Yeah, you right.
Both laugh briefily and soon one of the employees of pizzeria "El Sabore" comes and gives the pizzas that Yang had ordered for Jaune. The blond give his thanks and left the payment, after that, he put the pizza on the delivery bag and turn to Ren and said:
-Well, now only left the ice cream. But and you, just came here to say hello or will acompanie me to the dorm?
-Just to say hi. I still have to go to Port gym to pick up Nora, i promissed take her on that new steakhouse that openend.—Rain said with a visible look of sadness on his face, wich usually was always calm—. I fear for my economies.
-I fear your pain.—Jaune responded while feigned a exagerated expression of sorrow—. Anyway, see you later.
-See you.
After both saying goodbye, Jaune took his bike and started to follow his path to Vale dorm. Fourtunaly, there was a convenience store very close to the dorm, so the way back to home wouldn´t have any curves. But, to his bad luck, the sky started to sprinkle raindrops, if he didn´t acelerate his walk, he would get a good shower.
Stop at that store, Jaune parked his bike on the grid that was at outside and went inside of the store. Inside of it, he saw a cute figure that recive him with a big smile on her face.
-Hello, Jaune!—The girl with brown hair and eyes of the same color said. Her olive green uniform, despite being of a antagonistc color of the huge rabbit hears that was at the top of her head, complemented each other a lot.
-The rabbit ears are really necessary, Vel?—Jaune asked while picked up some ice cream pots inse of the freezer that was near and went to the cashier.
-No, but if combines with the uniform, why not use?—Velvet responded in a inocente way.
-Your girlfriend are corrupt you with her crazy fashionsense.—The blond said as picked his wallet—. How much cost?
-Twenty dollars everything, and no, Coco is not my girlfriend, oh my God! Why everyone say that!?—She respond very puffy while received Jaune´s money and already gave the change.
-Because she´s slap your ass in public and you don´t even complaing?
-She also slapps the butt of Fox and Yatsuhashi to, so this is also mean that she sleep with them? Huh?!
-Look, modern world, no one would complainig...—Said Jaune with a small chukcle—. And besides, you all are a strange group, i don´t even know how Goodwitch let you stay in the same room...
-The same way you, Ren and Nora sleep togheter and nobody says anything!—Velvet retorted again.
-We are brother, not of blood, but we grow in the same hause! We have a very plausible excuse! And you!?
-We've been togheter since kindergarten! We are pratically family!
-Family don´t stare one another the same way you stare Yatsuhashi when he comes all sweaty from the gym.—Jaune joked.
-I, err, i don´t lok Yatsuhashi that way!—She exclaimed all blushed.
-I belive in you Vel, i really do. Anyway, i'm going. See you later!
Even embarassed, the girl said goodbye to Jaune with a brief wave:
-See you!—She said.
As Jaune leaved the store, he saw that the sky wasn´t at the best conditions, and the rain already falls heavy. And since he didn´t count with rain for today, his raincoat stayed at the doorm. Sighing, he went back to the store with the intention to buy a new umbrela, but, Velvet said that he shouldn´t be worried and borrow hers. It was a brown umbrela with pictures of rabbit, if it wasn´t by the accesories hanging on the cable, you could say that it´s was a common umbrella not a feminine one. But what did matter, it would make Jaune arrive dry in home and that was enough.
It didn´t take long and he was at the street of the dormitory. Juts a few more blocks and he would be at home, although, while he follow trough the streets one figure atracted his atention. The figure in question was a ginger girl, no, not ginger, ginger is what Nora is. Different from your sister, she had a completely carmesin hair and a very emerald sharpe and thoughtful eyes, and your gym cloathes were totally soaked and she was tremble with cold.
Jaune couldn´t bear see that scene, sighing, he was already think on the "scolding" that he would take for beng late with Yang´s order, but, what was a bit of joke compared to a action of doing the right thing? Aproaching the girl, he posicioned the bike on his left side while offered cover with the umbrela with his right side.
-Hey, want a ride?—He said in a very warmful tone.
The semblance of the girl, wich before was very serious, softened enough to expressing doubt, but yet, she keeped her doubtful gaze toward´s the blond.
-No, thank you, i´m fine.—She responde in a formal tone, but how Jaune noticed, it was a plastic tone wich had any true emotion behind what said.
-Look, i know that is really weird an strange come and offer help, but i seeing that you really need some help. My name is Jaune Arc, short, cute, and rolls with the tounge and girls love it. I live on the dormitory of Beacon University, wich is right over there on front, so don´t worry, i will not robb you or something like that.—He said with honesty—. But so, you live near here?
The girl looked at Jaune with a very incredulous look, like she wasn´t belived what she had heard, and after she processed everything, she couldn´t contain the laugh.
-Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Embarassed by the unexpected reaction, Jaune just stood there for a while wainting for the girl with red hair catch her breath, and when she recovered, she responded:
-I´m sorry, it´s, i wasn´t expecting this hitting so...ridicolous?—She said with a doubtful tone on her voice.
-It´s not hitting, it´s the truth! My mom always said that my was easy to say, and all of her friend´s said that liked!—Retorted a embarassed Jaune.
-Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
-Great, and here she comes with the laugh again, ha, ha, há.
-I´m sorry, seriously, i wasn´t expecting this kind of atitude. Truly, i´m sorry.—recovering the posture, she turn to Jaune and presente herself—. Pyrrah Nikos, nice to meet you.
With a quiclky moviment, Pyrrah moved to get close with Jaune and grab him by the arm, more precisely, by the arm that him was using as support to umbrela. Swalloing hard, the young man made the possible to not look down and face the wet bust of the redhead. As much his hormones said to him that he should look, he searched harder his inner white knight and said:
-Well, i think with this you aceppet my ride, right?
-Yes. But this will disturb you? You said that you dorm was over there, and i live very far from here.—She responded with a very formal tone, despite the proximity.
Jaune looked at Pyrrah, after looked to the road of dorm, and after that looked again to the girl and said:
-I offered help, and na Arc never goes back with his word. Were you live?
-Well, at the other side of the city.—Pyrrah responded in a simple way, but with a very playful tone.
-As i said...—Jaune said sweating cold—...an Arc never goes back with his world.
With a small chukcle in her face, Pyrrah faced the boy for a more brief moment and said:
-Look, you don´t need follow me until my home. Just let me at some subway station and from there i will follow my way.
-Alright, so shall we?
-Yes.—She nooded while hold firmly jaune´s arm. And if there was one thing that Jaune noticed, besided the very large bust, was that Pyrrah had a very Strong grip. If wasn´t by the long thin fingers, jaune could swear that was a man squeezing your arm. But anyway, thought´s apart, both followed trough the street´s in silence, it wasn´t like the were embarassed of being there, but the questions didn´t come.
-"Were you from? What is your course? What are you doing on the other side of the city?" The most basic questions that Jaune could ask he didn´t, why he didn´t asked? Because it was only not that he only noticed that he was sharing a umbrella with a very beautiful girl. He brain was at automatic mode, and his face was all red by embarrasement.
-Is everything alright?—Asked Pyrrah noticing his nevourness.
-It is, i just, argh..it´s nonsen.
-Well, still left some squares toward the station. So, if you wanna talk, i´m willing.—Pyrrah said in a warm way.
Singhing, Jaune spoke:
-Ok, i did it again, i mean, this story of saying that my name is okay and the girls like, it was just so automatic that i didn´t even noticed i was make myself the idiot again. I´m sorry.—The blond talked with a very low tone—. Is that, well, my mom always cheered me up you know? Since my dad got injured on the war, i kinda became the prince of the house, so i grew up with a lot pampering. I grew deluded and overprotected, you know? Believing that each word my mother said was true, and well, since i decided follow with my own life, i saw that mama adviced didn´t work very often. I made myself a idiot on the dormitory, made serenades to every girl that i think they had give me a chance, and well, i´m boring you, isn´t? What kind of girl would stop and listened the problems of a man child like me...
- I'm not bored Jaune.—Pyrrah said very politile—. I´m just suprisse, you were acting all confidente back there, and now became all depressed. I mean, i understand your problem, because i have a similar one.
The girl with crimson hair seeing that had the attention of the blond to her, continues:
-My parentes were olympic athletes. My father was a wrestler, and my mother a gymnast, so since i was little i was raised with big expectations about my sports career. I got interessed on the sport of my dad, actually, i fell in love with it and became very good at it. But for being the golden girl that he Always took care of it, loved it and trained, i ended up moving away from people of my age. I wasted the oportunity to have friends because they intefered with my train. I wasted the oportunity to have boyfriends, because they wasted interfered with my train. I, in the persuit of become a very good athlete, moved away from those i cared, or i could care.
Jaune didn´t know what to respond, for a brief moment both stayed in silence until the blood finaly said:
-Wow, sudenly i being a idiot became a very lesster thing...
-I´m sorry, it wasn´t my intention to lessen you problems.—Pyrrah said with a gilt tone on her voice.
-Relax Pyrrah, i get it. And, i´m happy for trust that in me. It musn´t have been easy hide this felling of lonliness.
-I say the same, i know it must be hard to someone take you seriously because of all manneirisms that your mother passed to you. I´m glad hear you.
Both smiled and walked a little more, it didn´t take it long and Jaune and Pyrrah already had arrived at the station. The rain still fall heavy at the outside, and Pyrrah, well, already was with cold, even on the subway were everything should be more muffled. Noticing that, Jaune put his bike aside with his delivered bag and took off his sweatshirt and offeread to Pyrrah.
-Here, it´s not much, by will impede you catch hypothermia before get home.
-Jaune, i can not accept your sweartshirt.—She responded.
-I´m not giving my sweatshirt, i´m lending it..—He responded with a smile—. Show yourself up at the dorm when you have time, me and my brothers can hang with you to somewere, get some fun, you know? Just don´t be surprised by Noras behavior, she can be clueless, but she intent no harm.
With a big smile on her face, Pyrrah responded:
-I would love it.—Aceppting the sweartshirt she looked at the logo and respond—.Do you like the cereal of this brand, the Pumpkin Pete?
-No, i don´t like, but the sweartshirt if comfy, i gained in one sale promotion that had in one supermarket. I´m still use it because of the memory´s, you know? Me and my sister´s at the campfire, camping...were great moments.
-I understand, well, thanks anyway! I will wash when i came to visit you and..
-What´s i?—Jaune asked.
-The batery of my cellphone ended, and i still didn´t decorated my new number, so i don´t know how i can make our way with your brother.—She said in a sad tone.
-Don´t worry. Next week the class will start, so we will not have so much free time, but...show yourself up at the next Saturday at 6 is when we will make our first celebrate party. It will be awsome!
-I get it.—Pyrrah responde as she offered her hand—. Thanks for sharing the umbrella, Jaune.
-Equally.—He said as he shake it—. Until next Saturday Pyrrah!
-Until then!
Jaune said goodbye to the girl with crismon hair with a warm wave while she walked by the subway halls. Despite the strange way of how everything unrolled, the blond was happy to meeted her. Pyrrah seemed to be a very nice person. While he pondered about what happened, his cellphone vibrated, and when he tooked your device to see the reason of such noise, he noticed a serie of spams with furious emoji of Yang.
-Whops...
-I hope you have a good reason to explain your delay, if not besides being without tip, you will recieve a punch on the stomach.—Yang comented very irritaded wile snapped the phalanges of her fingers.
-Err, well, there was a girl...
Before jaune could even react, Yang stood up to her words and delivered a punch on the blond that made him lean on the nearst wall moaning in pain.
-But, i, arrgh...you didn´t even let me finish!—Exclaimed Jaune.
-You didn´t need it, you delayed my pizza and my ice cream because you wanted to play the White Knight toward some girl in the rain, go it right?
Jaune tought in retort, but however he tried to say " it wasn´t like that", every detail of the history he could explain, more details would match with Yang´s conclusion, so everything he said was:
-Well, you a right...
Yang, despite the punch and the brave pose, sighed and took the Money she had promised to Jaune and give to him:
-Look, i know you are a big boy, but it´s not playing the role of simp that you will get some girl´s attention.
Taking the Money, he heard what Yang said and analised the dorm in the background. As they both were in the region that would be the entrace of the room, he had difficult to see the other people that were there, but still, he saw the figure of another girl with long black hair stacking a serie of books in a shelf, also other girl that was also there, seemed to be younger, not only because of her size, but also because of her cheerful and juvenile way of behave. She looked towards the image of projector wich was on the wall, like she didn´t bear waiting to keep watching...
-Hey, this is the new Mad Max? That´s cool!—Jaune said.
Listening the talk of the blond, Ruby jumped out of her bed and went toward´s the door saying:
-You also like Mad Max!?—She asked with a glimmer on her eyes
-Yes, my dad watched the old movies and i watched with him. Mel Gibson made the movie works, that´s for sure.—Jaune responded very happily.
-What other movies you did watch?—Ruby asked.
-Try a reference, let´s see if i can guess.—Said the blond with his arms crossed in a very confident way.
-Well, this is were the fun begins.—Ruby said smilling.
-Already beggining with Star Wars? Don´t push your luck padawan, i have the high ground here!
-It´s a surprise, sure, but a welcome one! But don´t underestimate my power!—Ruby retorted while give him the tounge
-We all now how this history ends, after that, don´t go saying that you don´t like sand!
-It´s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere! Bruggghh!—Ruby said while pretended to tremble herself all over.
-Seriously, you guys are geeking out in front of me!?—Yang exclaimed while saw it you siste rintract with Jaune in a way that she wasn´t expecting to happen.
-Jedi bussines, go back to your drinks!—Ruby exclamed in a very bossy way, or at least the most bossy way your cute voice allowed.
-but iám not drinking anything! Urgh, just give me the pizza and the ice cream!—Yang said while turn Jaune to his back and opened his delivery bag, taking the pizza and the ice cream that was inside without ask boys permission.
-She can not do that, shoot her or something!—Jaune dramatized while offered no resistence to Yang atitude.
-No, enough with this nerd attitude! I already give you Money, now sho, go Away!—Yang said while gradually expelled Jaune from the room
-I just went to the bathroom for a while and sudenly my room turned into a mess, did this become a madhouse!?
Turn himself to see the owner of the fourth voice, Jaune jaw dropped. Even with a simple blue pijama and being careless with her makeover, Weiss with her light blue eyes and pale skin, even if it was irritated, still transpired na beauty that didn´t seemed to exist in real world, and that, catch the attention of the young delivery.
With a face of few friends, Weiss turn herself to Yang a said:
-Yang, you like to brag about being a fighter, so please, put all this gorila muscles for work and put this duchebag out of my way?
-Hey, wait...Yang, you didn´t even presente your roomates, they are new here, are they?
-Urgh, yes, but i don´t have the patient to see you embarresing yourself again. Seriously vomit boy, shosho, you are ruining the girl´s night.
Seeing that the four girls were watching him anxious hoping that read the mood, Jaune singhig and said:
-Ok, fine. Get fun girl. And you are...
-Ruby.—Said the younger, the one that as exchange references with him—. I´d like you watched the movie with us , but they don´t want the company.
-We speak another time then, i literally live on the doorm at side, if you need anything, just knock the door. See you later then...
-See you!—Ruby said with a brief wave.
And with that farewell Yang closed the dor, the four looked at each other and stayed in silece about what to say, it was when Weiss with a smile finally said:
-I love democracy, i love the republic.
