POV; Pyrrha Nikos

I woke up ready for my second day at Beacon and my first test and most importantly which 3 people were going to be my partners for the next 4 years. I was told to go to a precipice that overlooked the emerald forest. I headed into the locker room to get myself ready when I was approached by a Weiss Schnee who asked me "so Pyrrha have you given any thought to who's team you would like to be on. I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong well known individual such as yourself." All throughout her talking I had noticed Yang Xiao Long paying attention in the background which made me think there was something weird going on here. So just to be safe I responded with "I'm not quite sure, I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." Weiss then told me "I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together." I responded with "well, that sounds grand" still planning on letting the chips fall where they may. "Great" she casually responded. Weiss slipped off into a daydream and just then a boy approached and said "you what else is great. Me. Jaune Arc." Begrudgingly Weiss said "you again. She'd clearly met Jaune before. I was much nicer and said "Nice to meet you Jaune."

He told me "yea, yea" before moving me out of the way to talk to Weiss. I was a little hurt at this but decided not to let it get me down. "I went to go get my spear while Jaune talked to Weiss until I heard him make a mistake. So, then I informed that" actually I think the teams are completely random and comprised of 4 students each. Just then I was interrupted by Jaune who said "well you don't say. He then waltzed up to me and said "well hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team" Just then Weiss ran up and stood between us. She asked Jaune, "Jaune is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Man, this girl could be a bitch. Granted he knew who I was but she didn't need to word it like that. "He then said to my surprise "not in the slightest snow angel." (both that he didn't know who I was and the nickname)

She introduced me, "this is Pyrrha." I decided to be nice still and said "hello again." Weiss had clearly been doing her research because next she said "Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Jaune looked at Weiss and said nonchalantly "never heard of it." Weiss tried again "she's won the Mistral regional championships 4 years in a row! A new record?" Surly he had to know that. It had been all over the news. But to my surprise he responded with "the what?" Unbelievable! This kid didn't know who I was! This is amazing. Finally, a person I can build an identity around as oppose to having one provided for him. Weiss grew exasperated and started shouting. She played the only card she had left "she on the front of every pumpkin Pete's marshmallow flakes box." There it is. My most noticeable act. Being on the front of a cereal. Surly Jaune had to know about this." Sure, enough he points and says "that's you? They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!"

I hid the bitterness in my voice as i replied "yea. It was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you." This was my plan to stop people from knowing about me. Being famous isn't as fun as you would think.

"So" said Weiss in back in bitch mode after having yelled at Jaune "do you still think you're in a position to be on her team?

"I guess not, Sorry" Jaune said saddened.

I hated that girl at that moment. She can't speak for me. Also, Jaune was just being nice and she responded to that with classic bitchiness. I decided there and then that I would rather drop out of school than be on her team. Also, he apologized for acting the way he did! I decided to cheer him up "actually Jaune I think you'd make a great leader." Jaune was clearly flattered by my opinion and said "oh stop it." This, Weiss took as a sign to start being bitchy again. "Seriously please stop it. This kind of behaviour should not be encouraged. Jaune made some kind of comment to Weiss but I was too busy getting my spear out of my locker to hear. I was testing my spear's range when I accidentally hit Jaune. Just then a voice boomed from the loudspeakers "could all first-year students please report to beacon cliff for initiation." The message elected with slightly different wording. I bid Jaune goodbye and headed outside to beacon cliff. Ozpin told us some information but I was only half paying attention. I was more focuses on working out my landing strategy. I thought if I can reach that tree then I can make it down to the ground using my weapon as a safety net. I launched and slammed through the trees blocking my path to the one I needed to reach. I landed and got out my gun to check for Grimm. As I looked around I saw Jaune falling through the air with no landing strategy. So, I shot his hoody with my spear taking careful aim through my scope to only hit his hoody. He yelled out "thank you." I replied with "you're welcome."

I then travelled into the forest and started walking along nonchalantly killing Grimm as I traversed.
