A few days after Sun had been released from the infirmary things around the school had returned to as close to normal as they could. Ruby and Sun had started to talk to each other more often but you two were never alone long before either Neptune or Yang would show up and make themselves known to the two. There was only one place where the two had a chance to talk without having to worry about Yang and Neptune interrupting them, but there was one problem with this it was a Glynda Goodwitch class.
Many of the teachers were fairly tolerant of student dating as long as it didn't get in the way of class but Glynda was one of the few who weren't so tolerant. There are tales of horror passed down from upperclassmen to lower classmen describing the harsh punishments Glynda allegedly would give to students who she caught texting, sleeping, or heaven forbid flirting in class. These stories alone were enough to keep almost all student s obedient in class. All except Ruby and Sun.
The two students had thought they had found a way to avoid Glynda's gaze. They managed to to get two seats next to each other and had had the brilliant idea to pass a piece of paper below the desk between them, writing their conversation down on it. This plan actually work for a little bit.
You sure she isn't watching? Sun had written down.
Of course I'm sure. Ruby wrote back.
Alright if you are sure, Ruby what are we gonna do about Yang and Neptune?
I don't know, they are becoming so annoying, we need to find a place we can get away from them.
We could always go to the beach, Sun suggested Neptune is terrified of water.
It's not Neptune I'm worried about, it's Yang.
Well where can we go that she won't go?
Ruby stopped and thought for a moment. She thought about everything she knew about Yang and about what place she and Sun could possibly go where Yang wouldn't want to follow them. And then she had a wicked idea. Before she could write it down for Sun to see though the paper was snatched out of her hands. She looked up to see who had taken her paper and came face to face with the last person she wanted to: Glynda Goodwitch.
"Well miss Rose I surely hope you and mister Wukong weren't passing notes in my class," She said with a scowl on her face.
"Uh no, no we weren't, we were just um comparing notes," Sun said quickly.
"Oh cause this definitely doesn't look like the you two were comparing," Glynda said reading the paper "In fact it looks like the two of you were planning some kind of 'secret date'. If you thought that this was interesting enough to distract you during class then perhaps the rest of the class might find it just as interesting."
Ruby and Sun both went white.
"Come on you two get up," Glynda turned back to the class "Everyone pay attention miss Rose and mister Wukong have something to say,"
Ruby and Sun shuffled to the front of the classroom. As they looked out into the classroom both were completely stunned. Neither could form any kind of plan to get out of this embarrassing situation.
"Well don't keep us waiting you two class is almost over," Glynda said
Almost over? Ruby thought, Maybe if i can find a way to stall long enough then we can get off with some detention. But how can I do that? Luckily though she didn't have to because at that moment the perfect distraction arose.
Some of the other students in that same class were Cardin Winchester and Jaune Arc. Not many people were truly aware of Cardin's and Jaune's complicated relationship. Those that were aware of it knew that it wasn't very complicated and that Cardin was just a bully that took whatever chance he could to mess with Jaune. At this particular moment Cardin just so happened to be able to see inside Jaune's bag and he couldn't resist the urge to bring attention to what he saw. Cardin reached over while Jaune was distracted and pulled out what appeared to be a small box wrapped in paper.
"Oh what's this Jauney-boy," Cardin said holding up the package "This a gift for the Ice Queen. Haha,"
"Hey! Give that back!" Jaune said standing up trying to grab the package
"Or is it for that partner of yours, the literal definition of 'out-of-your-league" Cardin said holding the package above Jaune's head.
"I said give it back!" Jene then punched Cardin in the stomach causing him to drop the package into Jaune's hands. At first Jaune was a little proud of his actions until he looked up and saw an angry Cardin staring back at him. With a loud gulp Jaune jumped the desks and bolted out the door with Cardin right behind him.
"Mister Arc! Mister Winchester! Return to class at once!" Glynda shouted after the two boys walking quickly to follow them. When she reached the door she stopped and turned around "Class dismissed. Miss Rose and Mister Wukong you both have after school detention today in my class. Do not be late." After that she once again went off to pursue Jaune and Cardin.
Both Ruby and Sun let out a sigh as they gathered their stuff.
"Now that that is over I think I know the perfect place for us to go," Ruby said cheerily.
"Oh really where?" Sun replied
Before Ruby could reply she saw the familiar blonde and blue duo coming towards her and Sun.
"I'll tell you during detention," Ruby quickly said to Sun. She turned back just towards her approaching sister. "Hey Yang, Neptune. What a surprise meeting you two here." Ruby said trying to be extra sarcastic.
"Yeah,well you know, it's a small world," Yang said with with a shrug.
"Sure it is Yang,"
"So Sun you ready to come train with the team today?" Neptune said
"Didn't we train yesterday?" Sun asked
"Yeah but, with the festival coming up we need to train everyday,"
"I guess but i was to get lunch with-" Sun tried to say
"You can get lunch on the way now go train with your team," Yang added in practically throwing Sun into Neptune's arms.
"Uh I guess I'll catch up later Ruby," Sun said as Neptune dragged him away
"Come on, Ruby we have our own team to get too," Yang said leading Ruby by the arm
After School
Ruby walked into to Glynda's classroom and saw that Sun was already there and that Glynda was at her desk grading papers. She walked down and took the seat next to Sun. Before she could start talking to Sun, Glynda spoke.
"Glad you could join us miss Rose," Glynda said looking up from her desk. She looked over at the clock "And surprisingly you are not late."
Glynda stood up and walked over to the two students. "Before we get started I want to know why you two thought it would be appropriate to pass notes in my class,"
"Well you see your class is the only one where we can talk," Ruby said
"That's not a very good excuse miss Rose,"
"What she means is that this is the only class where we don't have either Neptune or Yang in it to disturb us," Sun added in.
"I take it these two don't approve of your relationships,"
"Yeah, they are always interrupting us, and never giving us any time to ourselves," Ruby said
"Hmm yes that can make a relationship stressful," Glynda said quietly "Alright so i'm sure the two of you have no doubt heard the rumors of my 'cruel' and 'unusual' punishments,"
Ruby and Sun both held their breaths.
"Normally these rumors are very true," Glynda said glaring at the two "But since I understand how stressful trying to date someone that your friends are against I'll cut you some slack,"
Ruby and Sun let out a sigh
"I want a four page paper on the history of dust use on the battlefield by next monday. Now both run along," Glynda started walking back to her desk as Sun and Ruby gathered their things "Oh and try not to get caught next you," She said as the two students left her room.
Once they were in the hallway Sun asked Ruby "What do you think she meant by that?"
"I don't know but we'll worry about it later cause I know the perfect place where Yang and Neptune won't follow us," Ruby said excitedly.
"Oh really where?"
"The Vale Amusement Park."
