Howdy Y'all! Here is chapter 18, and this time, were gonna be reading from the first person of all four of the girls. A day in the life of Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake, how each of them see it. So, here we go with chapter 18, hard to believe we are already that far into this.
Ruby POV
What is today? I don't know right now. Oh well, until something happens, I'm just gonna keep laying here with Weiss. Nothing to bother-
Rrriiiiiinnnnggggggg
Me. That alarm clock is so loud and annoying, why do we still have it? Maybe I can convince Weiss to let me get a quiet alarm clock.
"Good morning, Ruby. Time to get up."
As much as I would like to just keep sleeping all the time, I have to say. There isn't anything quite like waking up to that beautiful face next to me. She is just sooo cuuuutteee when she wakes up, stilll tired, hair all over her shoulders. I wish I could just hug into her and stay there forever. But I can't and I have to get up.
Wait. isn't there something special today?
"Come one Ruby, we can't miss midterms."
Oh, Yea, that. OH GOD I DIDN'T STUDY! ohmygodohcrapohnowhatamIgoingtodoohjeezoh-
"If you get up and do well today, I might just make those special cookies of mine that you love."
I love Weiss over anything. Even cookies are a close second, but the two mixed, this is too good to pass up. I have to find a way to not fail this test! Maybe I can ask Blake, she would understand, right? But what if she doesn't, and I have to find another way. What about Yang? No, I want something reliable. Maybe I could ask Jaune or Pyrrah.
"I'm just going to preempt this now, Ruby, I'm not going to give you the answers if you didn't study."
And there goes my golden goose.
"What? Me? No, I toootttally studied. Why would you think I didn't? hehe..."
"Well good, because I hear they are going to make these heavily monitored so that people can't cheat on them."
Oh boy...
Weiss POV
Ruby didn't study. Again. I swear, why does she always wait until the last minute to find a way to get these tests done? And why do I find it funny and adorable whenever she gets nervous and anxious over me. She doesn't even need to try to charm me, she is just naturally too cute for me to resist. It gets annoying sometimes, when I know I should be mad, or irritated, but I'm not. Because it's Ruby.
"So you didn't study again, huh Ruby.?"
"Um well I uhh."
"Well, you should probably find a way to learn all this stuff and get a good grade. Or maybe I should keep those cookies for myself, maybe share them with Yang and Blake..."
If I know Ruby, the thought of everyone else having something she wants is going to make her ace this out of sheer willpower. Sometimes I wonder about her. and one thing I want to know, is how she can even stay still in class with all that energy she has all the time.
Oh wait, that's right, she either doesn't, or uses me as a focal point for her energy.
"Well, lets get going then, we don't want to be late.
This is going to be interesting, to say the least...
Blake POV
So Ruby didn't study, and neither did Yang. I know that for a fact, because she drags me along for everything. I really start to wonder why I put up with her crazy antics. Then when those questions pop into my head, I just tell myself 'Eh, it's Yang logic, go with it'.
"So I'm guessing you didn't study either, Yang?"
"What me, oh I studied. Yea I really studied, no worries at all. Hehe..."
Well, they are definitely sisters.
"Rriiiiiigght. Well then Yang, you wouldn't mind putting a friendly wager, would you?"
"You seem to be quite the gambler, Kitty Cat. But remember what happened last time you made a bet like this?"
Since we had already been walking down the hall to get to the class, I just had time to remember all the things I had to do for Yang when we made our last bet. I will get you back for doing such a dirty thing to me, Yang!
"Oh, I recall what happened well, but I got a feeling this time will be a little different."
I could see Yang's fake bravado fading in an instant, seeing that I wasn't backing down like she had hoped.
"Well then, since it looks like you, want to take a risk, I guess, um, we could, make a bet? Hehehe..."
I had her on the ropes now.
"Alright then. If you can't finish this test with an 85% or higher, I get to make you sleep on the floor for the night, so I can actually get a night of snoreless sleep. And I can do what you did to me last time!"
"Such high stakes, Kitty Cat! Alright, and If I do get higher, you have to go a week without a bath or shower! And, you have to repeat last time's concequences."
These really are high stakes. She knows how I feel about hygiene and cleanliness, and that horrid thing. But it doesn't matter, there is no way she will get higher than 85%, she didn't even study.
Yang POV
Oh this is not good, not good at all. Why does it have to be today that Blake feels lucky? She knows I didn't study too, oh man, I gotta figure out a way to ace this test.
"Good morning guys!"
"Hey Pyrrah, where is the rest of your team?"
And there is my golden goose.
"They had their tests in another class, they said because it was more securely watched. So I'm alone with you guys today."
When Ruby, Weiss and Blake had taken their seats, I made my move.
"Hey Pyrrah."
"Oh, hello, Yang. What do you need?"
"Could I ask you a favor?..."
It was all set, everything was in place. They started the timer, and after a few minutes, my plan was accomplished perfectly.
"Alright Class, hand in your tests!"
Pleaseohpleaseohplease! Let me get higher than 85% on this.
"Well, since there are many more graders than usual, we are able to get you all your results immediately."
"Yayy! Weiss cookies!"
"Yes, Ruby, you did a good job. I guess you earned them."
"So, Yang, how did you do?"
I hadn't looked at my grade until now, and I almost died looking at the number at the top. 86.
"HAH! Looks like you made another bad bet, Kitty Cat!"
"What? But, How?"
"It's called a scroll and Pyrrah Nikos."
"But how did no one catch you?"
"Because Ruby was so hyper when taking her test, and they never need to watch Pyrrah normally, I had an open window to have her send me the answers through a message on our scrolls."
"I swear to god Yang!"
After that, she got reeeaaaaallly pissed. But, she knew how I was with bets, she took this risk. And tonight is going to be a really fun night. But of course my luck will never run out, I'm Yang Xiao Long! My luck can't run out!
"Oh wait, Ms. Long! I hadn't noticed until now, but I got two of those questions wrongly graded. Now, here is your real grade."
Oh, my, fucking, GOD.
"Well, Ms. Long, it seems your luck has run out. And you made a bad bet."
"Please, have mercy."
"Oh no, No I'm going to have fun with this. You cheated, so I can add any stipulation I want to our agreement."
Curses! How could I have foreseen that biting me in the ass in the future!
"Sorry Yang, I would try to help, but Weiss cookies, and Weiss! And by the way, Weiss, can we make these more often?"
Of course Ruby wouldn't be any help, turning her back on me. This is gonna get bad.
End POV
They had got back to the room, Blake and Yang going to one side for Blake to begin her tormenting on Yang. And on the kitchen side, Weiss finished making Ruby's cookies, giving her another treat, by putting a cookie in her own mouth, and giving Ruby a kiss at the same time. It had been almost too much for Ruby's heart to handle, but it managed.
"Whyyyy meeeeee?"
"Were going to have fun tonight, Yang."
"Well, while you two are doing, whatever it is you two are doing, me and Ruby are going to enjoy our treats. Would you like some, Blake?"
"No thanks, I have my hands full for now..."
There is chapter 18. I have been thinking about a first person POV for the team for a little while now, but I never really made it. Here it is, and I'm not sure how well it turned out, but I think it did a good enough job of getting their personalities right. So if you enjoyed this attempt at first person POV, please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you guys in the next installment. Byee!
