Chapter Six: Weiss Cold

Ruby felt pain surge up her back as she landed right on her butt. She blinked a few times and looked up to see who ran into her.

"Excuse me are you brain dead; can't you at least get off the floor and apologize like a decent human being." It was a screechy and loud voice.

In that moment silver met ice blue, it was entrancing as if something or someone was pulling her in. Ruby shook away the thought and glared at the older girl. "If you would've just waited a second I would've gotten to that, but now I'm feeling like walking away and never talking to you…" Ruby gave a look of question wondering who this girl was. Now that Ruby had a chance she took in the features of the girl, she had long alabaster hair that was in an off-side ponytail. The girl in question was shorter than Ruby (even though the girl was wearing heels) and had a petite figure, but the most defining thing about the girl was the scar running down her left eye.

"If you're done ogling me, I can tell you my name." Ruby rolled her eyes but let the girl continue. "My name i-"

"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Energy Company." Blake appeared from the shadows and was now helping Ruby up from the ground.

Weiss eyed Blake before turning her nose up. "Finally, some recognition."

"The same daughter of a company with very questionable business practices. Such as racist and unfair employment. Having the biggest monopoly in all of Remnant, and some…shady business partners." Blake finished her sentence knowing that the Schnee company had used The Grimm before to make other higher up officials "disappear."

Weiss stood there with a shocked expression but it quickly turned to anger. "How dare you!" she was screeching again, Ruby cringed at Weiss's volume. How could such a small girl have such a loud voice?

Yang came in from behind and hugged Weiss "Hey Ice Queen, how was your summer?" Weiss immediately pushed Yang off of her, she turned around to address the girl.

"Fine, how about you blonde buffoon?" Weiss asked this with pseudo innocents. Ruby looked passed the yellow and white duo and was shocked by all the damage done to the poor grass. The fence took in some damage too as it now had a giant dent in it. Ruby wondered how the bike was still fine. She turned her attention back to Yang and Weiss who were acting all chummy towards each other, she took it as a chance to leave. Ruby grabbed Blakes arm and started to walk off

"HEY!" Damn, we almost got away. It was Yang who called her. Ruby turned around to see a glaring Weiss and a smiling Yang.

"What do you want for winning the race."

Ruby thought for a moment and replied. "For you to leave me alone and stop acting like my friend." She turned around and continued off to the school with Blake right behind her, she felt a pang of guilt for talking to her that way but Ruby wasn't letting her off that easy. Before making it to far she heard Yang's voice again. "And I thought you were Weiss cold." This made Ruby feel less guilty.

Once they both made it inside Blake questioned what happened.

"Blondie challenged me to a race at the stoplight, she lost that's what happened."

"I meant last night." Blake looked at Ruby raising an eyebrow about the whole racing thing. "Actually, tell me more about the race and how you and the blondie got close enough for you to accept."

Ruby shook her head wishing she hadn't mentioned the whole ordeal. "Well to make my mom happy I apologized to Yang but I didn't think she would be this friendly. It's so uncomfortable." Ruby let out an exasperated sigh and slouched over thinking about the energetic blonde.

Blake hummed in reply and decided not to ask any more question just as they arrived at Professor Ozpin's office. "Good luck in there, I'm heading over to my locker, see you there. And remember that we need to have a chat afterward."

Ruby watched her dark-haired friend leave and with what felt like the hundredth sigh from this past week, she knocked on the door awaiting the familiar voice to tell her to enter. Once she heard his confirmation she walked into the very familiar room. In the center of the room was the beautiful mahogany desk with two small leather chairs in front of it. The two sides of the room were filled with bookshelf's brimming with all sorts of books from fiction to non-fiction and biography to comic books, it was quite the site to see. But the most important feature was the man sitting in the big brown leather chair with one big beautiful grand-father clock to the side of him. He had silver hair but it looked good on him, he wore tiny glasses just on the tip of his nose and in his right hand was the famous coffee cup. It was famous because no one had seen him without it. Being the gentlemen that he was he wore a dark forest green suit with a black trench coat over him.

"Hello Ruby, come here often." Ozpin laughed at their little inside joke. After Ruby's 6th time in there, he started to say this to her, to which Ruby replied. "First time here, what about you?" Ruby laughed along with him until there was a short knock on the door. Ruby took this as a chance to sit as Ozpin welcomed them in.

"Good morning Professor Ozpin." It was a familiar screechy voice, Ruby quickly turned around to see the last person she ever wanted to see.

"YOU!" They both said at the same time.

"I see you're acquainted with each other, this makes my job easier." Ozpin had a faint smile on his lips amused by the two.

"Don't tell me this scum was the one who beat me on the school exam." Weiss wore a look of disbelief which agitated Ruby.

"Yeah and guess what I'm two years younger than you. How does it feel princess, to have a young delinquent beat your ass in academics?" Ozpin spit up his coffee trying not to laugh instead he started choking at Ruby's outburst.

After he stopped choking Ozpin spoke up. "Ruby don't use that language in here, Weiss sit down." Both girls complied wearing pouts on their faces and silently waiting for him to speak.

"As you already know the top ten students get put in a special class and are paired with someone who I deem suitable to help them learn and grow, with the exception of the top two students who get automatically paired. I was going to use this time to introduce you two but it seems I don't have to, you two can head off now." Both girls glared at each other as they left the room but before they could leave Ozpin said one last thing. "Can one of you send in Miss. Xiao Long, I've been informed that she ruined my beautiful grass." This put smile on Ruby's face thinking about Yang getting in trouble was a good feeling, maybe today won't be too bad.

Ruby went down the hallways, even though it was early the halls were crowded, must be a first day of school thing. Ruby continued on, avoiding contact with most people as she made her way to her locker, what she found was an entertaining sight of Sun flirting (and failing miserably at it) with Blake.

"Come on Blake just one night out with me, I'll show you I'm a good guy for you to be with." Sun had a big smile on his face and was winking at Blake who was fidgeting and looking for an escape. Ruby had to admit that Sun is fun to be with and cute, he was a blonde muscular boy with pretty blue eyes but Blake didn't see him that way and Ruby wasn't going to get involved with that love affair.

"Ruby, how was the talk with Oz." Blake turned all of her attention to Ruby who was currently opening her locker.

Ruby looked over at a now disappointed Sun and a relieved Blake. Suns disappointment left his face as soon as he heard Ozpin and Ruby. "What's this Ruby already starting fights and don't even try to say no you got a bruise on your face and…oh my Gods is that bruises on your neck. It's only the first day." Sun shook his head like a disappointed father.

Ruby rolled her eyes at the teasing boy. "No, he introduced me to my partner for the year, who by the way is Weiss Schnee did you know this Blake?"

Blake looked at Ruby and then looked at the floor before she could tell Ruby the truth three figures walked up and spoke to them.

"Hey there Red, Puma, and Monkey boy how's your day going." It was Mercury and with him was Neo and Emerald. Ruby looked around for the missing figure only to have someone hug her from behind.

"Looking for me little Red." The voice was seductive but sickening, Ruby hated everything about that voice and the person who was touching her.

"Cinder, is there something you need." Ruby hissed out her reply hoping Cinder would move on and leave her alone.

"This Friday Blake, Sun, Ilia, and you will be entertaining the guest. You'll be on the job, remember that when you're talking to them." Cinder let go of Ruby and headed down the hallway saying one last thing before she left. "Oh, and Weiss is your partner right, get something good from her. Have a good day my Rose." Cinder gave Ruby one last look and with a wink, she and her little followers left.

Ruby was trembling, sweating, and having a hard time breathing. She was starting to remember the torture that Cinder put her through.

Before Ruby could have a breakdown, Blake was holding her. "Hey, it's okay I'll be there with you." Blake soothed away the fear in Ruby's mind helping her relax and breath again.

"Umm, I'll be there too ya know." Sun was pointing at himself, looking sad and left out.

"Right, thanks monkey boy." Blake didn't even look over at Sun. Ruby began to giggle at her friend's response.

"I swear to the Gods if periodic table says that one more time, his body will look like a whole new element." Sun's face was red with anger, Ruby knew Sun hated his codename for the gang, but they were the ones who brought this upon themselves and they didn't get a choice. As soon as we joined, we never had a choice. The thought saddened Ruby even more.

Blake sighed. "Sun that's not how…you know what never mind."

Even if they were stuck there at least she had great friends stuck with her. With a hearty sigh Ruby looked at Blake and Sun, she smiled and said. "Let's just head to class I guess."
