Chapter 2

AN/ This is a collab work between Akiruo02 and myself, we still look for a beta reader, if someone has interest, just PM one of us.

Thursday lunch time, it had been a week since she first talked to Rouvin, and during the past few days she had wanted to see him and maybe talk a little, but alas, she has never found an opportunity to approach the red-head. She'd either find herself surrounded by friends and acquaintances that she can't approach him. If the chance is then presented she'd get dragged away by Nora or Yang, and the most annoying one for her is the delinquent just disappears into thin air whenever she's alone.

She's beginning to think that the reason, he's always alone and that other people avoid him is because he disappears or just plain out of reach. She stabs her salad and sighs for what feels like the umpteenth time for the past week.

Blake closes her book and looks at her white-haired friend. She had noticed how many times she had sighed in the past week. This was not normal, something was wrong, no something was bothering Weiss. Placing her book on the table, she glances at the others. Pyrrha was helping Jaune with his chemistry homework, Ren was eating his lunch while Nora practically inhaled her pancakes, and the only one missing from their group was Yang. The yellow brute might be on to something or is with some guy, not that it concerns her. Weiss sighed again, she hadn't even eaten her salad and was just stabbing it with a fork.

"Weiss," Blake called. Weiss didn't as much flinch and just continued with what she was thinking. Blake cleared her voice once more. "Weiss" she called this time louder to which the heiress heard her snapping her out of her thoughts.

"What?" Weiss looked around baffled before looking at Blake who had a smirk on her face.

"It's nice of you to join us, Weiss." Blake greeted. Weiss scowl at her best friend. They have been friends since they were children, they practically grew up together. Blake knows Weiss more than anyone and same goes for Weiss knowing Blake. "Something's been bothering you for the past week now. What is it?"

"Nothing's bothering me. I was just thinking." Weiss replied.

"Thinking of what?" Jaune asked. Weiss looked at her friends. If Jaune had notice that means everyone has. The blond scrawny boy was the oblivious one of the group. "You've been sighing a lot lately."

"I have not." Weiss denied.

"Weeeellll.."Nora started. "There was this one-time last week during study hall when some kids asked for your help when you were trying to get somewhere, you sighed there. There was also that time when I dragged you out to the field to watch a game you sighed while watching the other way. Oh what about…."

"Nora!" Ren said.

"Yes…Ren…"

"We get it."

"What we're trying to say is that. We're worried, Weiss. This is the first time you've zoned out so much." Pyrrha added. Weiss looked at them. All having concerned expressions on their faces.

"You see…well…" Weiss was about to continue when a blond brute entered the scene.

"Hellooo~" Yang greeted. "Sorry, I'm late. I had to talk to my brother about borrowing his car." Yang said as she sat beside Blake.

"Don't worry about it," Blake said.

"Wait you have a brother?" Nora asked.

"Yeah a half-brother, he is in our year," Yang explained while she was starting to eat.

"And why haven't we met him? He must be as awesome as you!" exclaimed Nora while making wild gestures with her hands.

Getting a bit nervous Yang started scratching at the back of her neck "Well he isn't really a people person, and just keeps to himself. I'd really like you guys to meet him, but I don't think he wants to."

Pouting Nora sat down again, muttering something about Yang just wanting to keep him to herself.

After that conversation died down, Blake was about to ask Weiss again what was bothering her but was interrupted by the bell.

Relieved that she didn't have to explain what happened, Weiss grabbed her things and said her goodbyes before leaving for her afternoon classes.

She reminded herself that after school she had to prepare herself for a dinner party, at the Rose mansion. Luckily Yang would also be there because she was the step daughter of Summer Rose.

Now that she was thinking about it, Rouvin's last name is also Rose. Could there be a connection or is it just a coincidence? Probably the latter, if he was the son of Summer Rose, he'd be the heir to the Company and he doesn't really act and look like that. But then he would be Yang's half-brother and it would match her description of him.

She would have to investigate that later, but for now, she has to focus on her classes.
