Ruby's POV
Me and Yang just got done playing a game. Who won? The other group! Now she's kinda having a fit. I wouldn't blame her though. If I was playing against myself and lost, I would have a tiny tantrum. Or, be happy about it? I don't know. But, I still try to calm myself down-just like Yang!
"Ugh! I can't believe I lost," she said with half anger, half happiness. I laughed softly and replied, "You just nagging because the new guy beat you! See, if you just attacked when I told you, none of that would've happened." We both shared a laugh until Weiss pointed to the door. "Stop right there," she commanded. It was Blake. She was going to leave while we weren't looking. Was it because i was yelling out loud again? Or was it... "Uh, what's up, Blake?" Yang asked. She didn't answered. Weiss' turn. "I get that leaving is kind of your 'thing', but you've been doing it more then usual. Which is unacceptable." When Weiss said that, she caught Blake's attention. But, not in a good way. "You made a promise to me. To all of us. To tell if something was wrong." Weiss continued. "I just. I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake said. "Everything that's going on! I know. We are just students. But, if we don't act right now, we might lose! So, we have to fight. Now."Weiss sighed in defeat at Blake's speech, then closed her eyes. "Fine. But remember, these guys are tough." Weiss stated. "I'm in!" Yang said. "Me too!" I yelled out in excitement. "Now, let's patch a plan!" "Yeah." Yang replied as she pointed to me in a cool way. Suddenly, something hit my mind, making me gasp! "I forgot the board game. I'll be right back!" I ran outside to go get my pride and joy!
While running, I bumped into someone, which made me fall down. "Sorry," I said quietly. The person was a girl who had green hair walking next to a boy with gray-ish hair. The girl held her hand out to me and helped me up. "I'm fine. Just. Watch where you're going." she answered. "Oh, yeah. Sorry." I apologized. "I'm Ruby. Are you new here?" The girl moved aside to show another girl walking towards me. She had black hair and yellow eyes, kind of the same shade as Yang's hair! "Well, sort of." She replied. We both looked at one another. She had a weird smile on her face, making me crock a eyebrow for a second. Then, it hit me. "You guys are here for the festival. Exchange students are in the laboratory." I told them. The black hair girl nodded in understanding. "I guess we'll just have to turn around." The grey hair boy suggested. "Don't worry! Happens all the time. Your building will be just... East again." I instruct them, only to know the green hair girl and grey hair man were gone.
Only the black hair girl was there. She smiled at me again and stepped towards me slowly. "I'm Cindy. And you are?" She asked as she played with my hair. "R-Ruby." I stuttered as she made me blush a little. Was this sexual abuse or just playing around? "Nice to meet you, Ruby. I. Don't have a lot of friends." She said in a sad tone. "O-Oh! We could be friends!" I yelled again, but she just chuckled. "Haven't your parents taught you not to befriend anyone on the first day?" When she said that, something developed in my throat. I slowly said, "I. I never knew my parents. That well." Cindy's eyes went wide and she moved her hand away from my hair. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't kno-." Before she could freak out, I calmly signaled her to relax. "It's okay. Like you said, the first day. So,if you don't want to be friends, I understand." I reassured her. Cindy shook her head and said, "Let's be friends!" I wide my eyes as she was the first to ever want to befriend me. Her smile seemed so real. More real then the others. With no question, I nodded my head. "Great! Okay, we're friends!" I yelled and Cindy clapped her hands in delight. She looked really nice for a black hair girl. Suddenly, her expression changed. "Uh, where's the laboratory again?" She asked. "Oh! Heh heh, east again." I answered. She walked to my side and touched my shoulder. "I hope to see you later, Ruby." She said. "Me too!" I replied. With that, she went to the east hallway. Oh wait! I forgot!
"W-Welcome to Beacon!"
