The Lonely Heiress

~ Weiss ~

She had a match later that day, but she didn't care. Practicing beforehand never really helped her anyway, besides, it was freezing outside. So she decided to spend some time in the book club.

While she was there, she grabbed a book at random and started to read. It was just a coincidence that the book was 'Romeo and Juliet'. She was reading the story nearing the end when she started feeling a bit sad.

"I know how you feel, Juliet…" Weiss thought to herself. "I have also fallen in love with a Montague."

Weiss was the heiress of the Schnee Diamond Company. A very prestigious and wealthy company that was run by a family that was just as prestigious and wealthy. Growing up for Weiss was difficult and very stressful. Weiss knew that she would have to run the company one day and because of that she also knew she had to marry someone who was also from the "upper class" of society… That didn't mean she had to like it though.

She just wanted to be a regular girl with many friends, not some rich kid with only one friend. However, because she's rich she's able to bend the rules some like how she got her and her faunus roommate to live in the best room in the 'human' dormitory.

I bet you're wondering how she got a faunus roommate, uh? Well the previous year, two 'sisters' moved into the faunus dorms; one faunus and one human. The faunus girl was originally assigned to live with Ai but her 'sister' insisted on living with her. Since the two girls are lower class, the human had special permission to live in the faunus dorms. Ai, however, was removed from her room and was temporarily placed with Weiss since she lived alone and a room wasn't ready for Ai to move into. At first Weiss didn't like it, but over time they became friends and when the time came for Ai to move out Weiss got permission for her to stay.

If it wasn't for Ai, Weiss would have no friends. Not because she didn't like people, but because she didn't know how to interact with them. Ai has a best friend on the track team that Weiss is well acquainted with, but recently Weiss has been having some 'feelings' for this 'friend'.

Weiss looked at her watch and saw that she had an hour before her match began. She closed her book and packed her bag and walked out the building, she was near the fountain in the middle of the quad when she heard a male voice call her from behind.

Weiss sighed. "What do you want Cardin?"

The boy named Cardin walked over and leaned against the edge of the fountain.

"Ya know, Schnee. A rich, good looking girl like you really outta hook up with a strong, handsome man like me." He said with a cocky grin.

Cardin Winchester was the school's "wannabe playboy". In reality, he was a sick bully who would do whatever he can to get in some girl's pants…even by force.

"You know, that's a great idea!" Weiss said sarcastically. "Too bad your face is such a turn off and have disappointing parts."

Cardin didn't like that, he glared at her angrily. "You Bitch! How dare you say that!"

"No, how dare YOU say that you WHORE!" Weiss threw back.

Cardin was starting to make a move towards Weiss when a faunus surfaced out of the fountain.

"Hey, stop picking on me!" That girl yelled.

At that time, a Peacekeeper was nearby and heard the girl's cry. "Hey, what's going on over there!"

"Officer, he just picked her up and threw her in!" Weiss lied to the man.

The Peacekeeper escorted Cardin to the main office but before he was out of sight Cardin turned towards Weiss. "You're gonna regret doing this one day, Schnee…"

After they left, the girl got out of the fountain and Weiss saw it was the girl Ai was supposed to live with, Okami.

"Thanks for the help." Weiss said. "Aren't you cold?"

"No problem, and not really." Okami said casually. "My opponent had me pretty fired up, I guess you can say she…'put me out'."

Okami gave a jokingly smile but Weiss didn't respond. Instead, she started to walk to her match which she won with great ease.

…

Once Weiss got back to her dorm with Ai, she started to get ready to shower. Before she stepped into the bathroom, she glanced over at Ai who had a picture frame in her hands but she didn't think much of it.

When Weiss got back into the room, she saw that Ai was on the top bunk reading "The Little Red Ridding Hood". She noticed Weiss and quickly placed a bookmark in the book and quickly replaced it with another one.

"Why are you obsessing over that childish thing so much?" Weiss asked with an irritated tone.

"I don't expect you to understand." Ai said trying to drop the subject…

It didn't work. "Understand what exactly?"

"The Big Bad Wolf," Ai explained. "I don't understand why the wolf is so bad. There is always a reason why people come out 'bad'. So what is the wolf's reason?"

"Maybe it just is, it doesn't need a reason." Weiss said with a shrug.

"There is always a reason why people are the way they are." Ai said closing the book she was pretending to read. "I'm just saying we should take the chance to know the person before we judge them."

Weiss scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "You mean like the way you gave that Okami Kiba a chance?"

"Some people can be such hypocrites…"

"Hey, Okami is a different story!" Ai said in a very angry tone and threw a pillow at the heiress. "I actually knew Okami back home."

This definitely surprised the heiress. "You knew Okami before Beacon?"

"Well…I knew of her." Ai said clasping her hands behind her head and leaned back. "She was an orphan, the only one in my town and a huge push over. Always did her best to please people even if it meant they beat the crap out of her. She never stood up for herself and because of it people always trampled over her… She's a coward, one of the worst people."

"So you never really met her?" Weiss said raising an eyebrow.

"I am the only daughter of a very wealthy and powerful family in the faunus community. I was never allowed to meet someone, especially an orphan." Ai then looked Weiss in the eyes. "You would know what that's like, right?"

"…unfortunately…"

Weiss turned her head away and towards Ai's desk, her eyes drifted downwards until they focused on a picture frame near the edge of the flat surface. She walked towards the desk and picked up the frame to get a better look.

Weiss knew that Ai wanted to be an artist and she was great at sketching, but this drawing was far beyond 'good'. There were three people in the drawing, two of them were somewhat roughly drawn and still had base lines but you were able two identify them. Ai was at the far end to the left running to the two to the right, then there was Ruby in mid air with her arms out about to tackle hug the girl in front of her…Weiss. Weiss was drawn with more gentle pencil strokes and it looked beautiful compared to the rougher drawn girls.

Weiss looked back up at Ai. "Did you draw this?"

Ai looked over and smiled. "Nah, my friend did. She gave it to me before the match, said she made it in her sketch class."

Weiss looked back down and sure enough in the right bottom corner was the name of her crush.

"Ruby Rose"
