Unspoken Love

Chapter 2

Am I Cute?

Note: So I'm not finished with the story yet. Actually, I'm having some difficulties trying to change this story up a little, but I'm going to start releasing them anyway. However, the schedule for this story will be a little different. These will be released every Sunday, as to give me time to really think about how I should write this out. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy.

As Ruby was walking to school, she decided to stop by at a convenience store on the way there. She didn't really have anything in particularly that she was going to buy so she just browsed through and ended up picking some lip gloss. As she made her way to the cash register, she came across the magazine area of the store and something caught her eye. On the cover of one of the magazine was the cutest girl Ruby's ever seen. Her cheeks turned red and her mouth opened wide as she tried to contain her joy.

Back at school, Weiss and Penny were already in class waiting for the day to start. Weiss was at her desk sitting patiently while Penny was standing next to her, munching down some of her lunch. Weiss looked up at her and sighed.

"Jeez Penny, are you that hungry already?"

"Weiss!" Weiss turned around, but didn't see anyone. She scanned the room and out of nowhere, Ruby popped out in front of her with a magazine showed towards Weiss' face. "Look at this. Isn't she cute?" Weiss took the magazine and looked at the photo with much critique.

"Eh, I guess." Ruby immediately snatched it from her hands.

"Oh, I would love to be friends with her." Ruby pressed the magazine against her chest and dozed off into fairy land. All Weiss could do was sigh. "Ah, I'll get her number from the magazine company." Weiss blew up.

"What are you talking about?! You can't do that."

"Well, what about her address or something?"

"No, you can't do that either." Ruby's eyes turned all watery as she looked at Weiss with a puppy face. Weiss cowered away for she hated that look Ruby would give her. It made her feel dejected and outright mean. Ruby got up from her seat and walked to her desk.

"You're no fun." Weiss watched Ruby as she slowly made her way to her desk. It was obvious that Ruby was pretty serious about this one, but what could she do? That girl on the magazine was probably some celebrity who didn't even live in the city or anywhere near here. As class got underway, Weiss would occasionally look over at Ruby who had her head down the entire time while nearly drooling over the magazine she had. Pictures of that girl were plastered everywhere inside the magazine and Ruby was starting to drift back into her fairy tale world.

They got through their morning classes pretty easily and next came PE. Their teacher decided to play volleyball that was co-ed. One girl captain and one boy captain. The boy captain got to choose first and he chose Weiss. Once that decision was made, everyone did everything they could to be on Weiss' team, but fate eventually kicked in and for everyone against her, it was hell. Whenever they tried to hit the ball, she would block it. Whenever she was given a perfect set, she would slam it down before the 10-foot line. The game wasn't even close

Across the gym, another class was holding PE in the gym as well. One boy was watching Weiss the entire time as she was destroying the other team all by herself. They were playing dodgeball so when he got distracted, he was quickly nailed in the head and knocked to the ground. As he stared at Weiss, he couldn't help but notice her beautiful, long white hair and her perfect, physical physique. Weiss, on the other hand, was completely unaware of her being watched from afar.

After PE was over, they had one more class to attend which had a test. Once they were done, they stayed around to wait for the results. It didn't take long for the results to be posted outside the classroom. The whole class crowded around the board to see what they got. Ruby and Weiss slowly made their way to the board. Ruby caught a glimpse of the results and saw that Weiss placed first in the class.

"Wow Weiss, you did really well."

"Well of course." As she looked at the results, she overheard a conversation coming from a couple of boys not too far away.

"Yeah dude, Weiss is freaking smart."

"I hear she has an archery range at her house."

"Are you serious? She must be rich."

"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure she has a black belt in martial arts."

"Dang, I feel bad for any guy who becomes her boyfriend. I think the question of who wears the pants in that relationship would be reversed." She had her enough. She turned her body and faced the group of boys. Her face was very serious and her fists were clenched. They saw her aiming at them and they quickly walked away without another word. Weiss took a step towards them as they were leaving, but was cut off by Ruby.

"What are you doing?" Weiss immediately snapped out of her war mode.

"Oh sorry." The bell rang and all the other classrooms opened up to let their students out. However, the boy from PE saw everything as the halls started to fill up with people. He tried to walk over to her, but she and Ruby walked the other way and it was too late to catch up with them.

When school ended, Ruby and Weiss decided to do a little shopping before they went home. They went into a store and Weiss was immediately intimidated. Everything in there was all girly and bright and girly. It nearly gave her chills. On the other hand, Ruby was in paradise. She browsed through the clothes and pulled out whatever she thought was cute.

"Ooo, what about this one?"

"Isn't that a little too flamboyant?"

"What? I like this stuff. Oh yeah, you're not really into these kind of things." Weiss turned away. When she turned back, she saw a piece of clothing that Ruby was holding in front of her body. Weiss jumped back in fear. "What? What happened?"

"What are you doing?"

"What? I thought it looked cute on you." Weiss' heart stopped for a second. Did she just say that I looked cute? She put the dress back on the hanger and walked out. Weiss followed not too far behind her, but looked at the dress as she made her way out. There was nothing left to do so they made their way home.

"So Ruby, you're only really interested in cute girls, right?"

"Well, what can I say? They're small and fragile and above all, cute. Everything about them is so cute. I just can't get over it." Weiss looked at Ruby who had a huge smile on her face. She didn't know how to respond to that so she remained silent all the way to the Ruby's house and then to hers.

When she got home, she literally pulled out every piece clothing that she usually wears and laid it out on her floor. There were pants, jeans, nice shirts, and nothing else. As she looked down at her clothes, she couldn't help but think about Ruby and how she said everything about cute girls is cute. Nothing that was on her floor was cute. She had moderate colored clothes and not a single girl's outfit in her possession. She plopped onto the floor and stared to pound the ground with her fists.

"Weiss, are you okay?" Her mother burst through the door with a pot in hand and completely out of breath. "I heard banging and I was worried." Weiss was now lying on her back.

"I'm fine."

"Oh, okay. Well, dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay." Her mother closed the door and walked back downstairs. Weiss was too flustered and angry. She grabbed her archery equipment and walked to the backyard.

In her backyard was a huge lawn that had 3 targets about 30-50 feet away from the shooting position. She was so angry that she didn't even turn on the lights. She readied one arrow and shot it about an inch above the bullseye. Her next shot was about an inch to the right of the bullseye. After that, it was an inch to the left and then an inch below it. Finally, on her last arrow, she pulled it back and took a deep breath. She let go of the string and the arrow hit perfectly on the bullseye, completely surrounded by her other shots. She sighed and walked back into the house where she ate her dinner and quickly fell asleep shortly after.

The next day, Weiss made her way to a convenience store where she picked up the magazine that Ruby had from yesterday. All throughout the walk to school, her eyes were peeled to the magazine, examining everything about that girl and why she was so cute to Ruby. This even carried on through class, but it didn't really affect Weiss since she was the top student in her class.

When class was done for the day, she had a student council meeting. She was president of the third years, but her vice president wasn't there yet. However, she didn't take notice of this because she was too focused on the magazine. After a few minutes, he finally made his way into the room and sat down next to Weiss. He sort of blushed for he was the one staring at her during PE. He saw that she was looking at the magazine and couldn't control himself.

"I think you're cute." Weiss shut the magazine and looked up. Her face was as flat as could be. "Weiss?" Out of nowhere, she grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him out into the hallway. Once out into the hallway, she pinned him to a wall with his feet dangling a few inches from the floor.

"What did you say? Did you say that I'm cute? I don't need you're mockery, Jaune. I got enough things to worry about." Her head was facing the floor, but was full of rage.

"I wasn't mocking you. I really think you're cute." Weiss gasped and slowly lowered him to the ground.

"You're not lying? You really think I'm cute?"

"I do." Weiss let go of his shoulder and turned around. She started to walk off in a trance with her mouth open and her chuckling quietly to herself. "Uh Weiss, we still have the meeting to go to." She didn't respond. She was too caught up in the idea of her actually being cute. Even though it didn't come from Ruby, what he told her was by far the nicest thing anyone has ever said to her in a long time.

For the rest of the day, it made it a little hard for Weiss to focus, but she somehow managed to get through the day without getting in trouble. When the bell rang for class to end, she finally snapped out of her little trance and caught up with Ruby so they could walk home together.

On their way home, Weiss was a little nervous for she was still thinking about Ruby and how she called her cute the other day.

"Hey Ruby?"

"Yeah?"

"I, uh… I was thinking about buying that dress you picked out for me yesterday."

"Really? Good, it will definitely be cute on you." Weiss gasped for it happened again. She called her cute. "You know Weiss, I'm really jealous of you."

"Why?"

"You're smart, athletic, and you're the tallest girl in our class. For some reason, I always think about this, but if you were to go to an all-girls school, they would idolize you so much. You'd be like a big sister to them. You have such noble features about you. It's almost like a fantasy."

"Ruby…"

"But you're not my type, though." Weiss stopped dead in her tracks. "Weiss?"

"I'm going home." She turned around and walked home. It almost felt as if a knife was stabbed through her heart.

"Wait! I'm not home yet. You always walk me home. Weiss!"
