A/N: I really meant to send this a week after the last chapter, but I got distracted with a job, a couple in-fact, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Not only that, I started playing Fire Emblem Awakening too. And I've even started on new story ideas that I'll post soon.

But enough excuses. Here's the next chapter in light of Vol. 7 coming out soon.

(*continues praying for White Rose moments in V7*)

-: Ruby Rose

12 Dec.

That! Good! For! Nuh! thing! Kid!

Who does that?! :(

During my night run for Track & Field practice, I finally met Neptune, and he did NOT give me the best first impression. I previously got a text from Weiss where he was running late and that she was waiting at the park where they agreed to meet up. For no reason in particular, I decided to take another route for tonight.

I was running by a noodle shop in the opposite part of town when I met up with Jaune and two of his friends: Sun Wukong… AND NEPTUNE VASILIAS! NEP. TUNE. Miles away from Weiss!

The nerve!

I asked him about Weiss and if they had a date tonight (which they did) and he had decided not to go meet up with her because he didn't feel cool enough to be on a date or even hang out with her. He didn't even call to cancel.

He's standing her up! What the nonsense?!

I don't actually remember what happened, but I think I stormed out and ran as fast as I could to the park where I found Weiss, still waiting. She was asleep in the lightly falling snow, but I know she was still waiting for him. It had been two hours since she sent me the last text… she was sitting and sleeping and probably freezing.

I can't believe Neptune. Weiss didn't deserve what happened to her tonight. She said she's used to it and that I shouldn't worry about it. But I can tell it still hurt her.

Weiss is staying with me tonight… I guess she didn't want to be alone.

Weiss, I promise you. You'll never be hurt like that again. Not if I have anything to say about it.

-: Weiss Schnee

Ruby snores really loud. Even from three rooms down, I can hear her. Her house has a guest room, and I decided to stay there for the night. According to Ruby, Blake used to occupy this room until she started sleeping in... another room. I hear Blake practically lives with them now.

...If Ruby hadn't came to pick me up from the park, would I still be waiting there? How long would I have waited for someone who'd never show? Would Ruby have found me the next day? Would anyone have?

I told Ruby not to worry and that I'd be fine. I guess I'm too proud to admit how much it really hurts when people stand me up like that. Neptune flaking tonight made me realize something I never wanted to come to surface…

Am I going to be alone all my life?

I know I have Ruby and our friends. But I can't help but think the Schnee name is going to cost me a lot more than I originally anticipated: A possible family and real friends. Neptune wasn't the start, and I know he isn't the last. I hope he is, but I doubt it. Everyone I've been interested in as "Weiss" have eventually left me, some quicker than Neptune.

I want someone to see me as me. Not as the daughter and heiress to the Schnee Energy Company.

...I shouldn't be alone tonight. At least Ruby's snores will provide company of sorts.
