Cinder's POV
Me and Ruby went back into the academy and into the cafeteria. There, Ruby ran to the others who were sitting at their own table. Actually, each team had their own table, except mine. Ever since last night, I don't even think we're a team. But, I don't care. At least she's happy with her friends. That's all I need. I almost walked away, until someone grabbed my shoulder.
It was a girl with red hair and green eyes. She wore a golden-ish orange like armor with a red skirt,buckled by a brown belt. What was her name again? Uh. Pyrrha. Yes! Pyrrha Nikos. There you go. "Hello." She said in a gentle tone. "Hi." I replied back to her. "Uh, you're Cinder, right? Of Team CEM?" She questioned. "Hm.. Is that what everyone is calling us now?" I asked her. She was sort of scared, I could tell. She couldn't look into my eyes and she was shaking a little. "Y-Yes..." She stuttered and I smirked. "And you're Pyrrha, the one who was dancing with scruffy over there." I stated, pointing to Jaune. She looked at the direction of my finger then back at me.
"That's Jaune Arc. He's the leader of our group." She commented. I nodded, understanding then continued, "I know. You like him or something?" "No, not at all... Is it that obvious?" she whispered. I nodded slowly as a answer. Pyrrha threw her head down sadly since I knew. Man, she's like the exact opposite of Snow White. That's good, but she can get easily annoying. Like right now. "Why are you here?" I asked as her head bolted back up. "I said. Why are you here?" I repeated. "Oh! Uh, you're still new to Beacon, so I wanted to get to know you." She chirped. I shook my head lightly and answered, "I am flattered, Ms. Nikos. But sorry." I almost left, but Pyrrha stopped me by my sleeve, whimpering. "Please?" She begged. I don't what the hell is wrong with this girl. She seemed to be more childish then Ruby. I liked, but also hate... Ugh, what the hell! "Fine. But I'm staying right next to you, okay?!" I commanded. She squealed a little then pulled me to where her team was.
Jaune was reading a comic book, probably the X-Men... What? I read it too. Next to him was a boy with black hair with a pink highlight in it and green clothes. Must be the defensive one. Lie Ren. By the way he looked up at me, he couldn't trust me. Pyrrha smiled and took Jaune's comic, which made him whine. "Come on, Pyrrha! I was reading that!" He nagged and tried to get it back. "Nope! We have a guest!" She cheered. I walked in front of him and grinned. "Hello, Jaune~." I cooed. With that, he choked on his food, good thing Ren hit him on the back. Jaune cleared his throat and looked back at me, scared. I just smirked. "H-Hi... Aren't you from the party? The one who went with Ruby?" He asked. "Yes I am." I answered. "And you are the guy who accompanied Pyrrha." He nodded quickly then ate more. "Heh heh. He's a little shy right now." She giggled. "I can tell..." i responded quietly.
I turned to Ren who was still staring at me. He got up and walked to me. Our eyes connected slowly and I saw a part of anger in his eyes. He frowned a little then said, "Hi." "Hello, Ren." I replied. "How are you?" He asked. "I am very peachy right now." I told him. He looked me up and down then stopped. "So, you staying here?" He asked. "Not for long." I answered. He just shook his head disappointingly. Something was up with him, I can tell. And it had me wondering.
Before I could ask him, someone jumped on me. The orange light head girl, Nora Valkyrie. I have heard she is a very... Special child. And that she can be destructive at times. Especially in lunch. "Here's Nora!" She shouted. "Nora, you're sitting on someone." Ren said, emotionless and pointed to me. She jumped off me as I got up slowly, cleaning my clothes. "The hell-." "Hi, I'm Nora!" She interrupted me quickly. I didn't know what to say! She was like Ruby, but if she had a sugar rush! She shook my hand fast, making me dizzy a little from the vibration. She suddenly stopped and I was blown into the air then landed on the table.
I looked up to find Team RWBY all looking at me. Weiss was angered a little, Blake was surprised, Yang acted as if nothing happened and Ruby just stared at me. I crooked smiled and she smiled back. I was going to say hi, until, Nora came back. "Hey, how did you get over here?" She asked. "You threw me." I murmured. Nora just helped me up quickly, almost making me fall again. "Silly Cinder." She told me and my eyes wide. "How did you know my name?!" I yelled, but she ignored me. "Hi, Team RWBY!" She shouted. "Hello, Nora! Hi, Cinder." Ruby responded. "Ruby. Hello!" I replied and walked to her. Nora's smile suddenly faded and she squealed out loud.
"You two are dating!" Nora screamed at us. Ruby blushed hard then looked down. Dating? I never considered us girlfriends. More like very close friends. I don't know. Besides, if we dated, everyone would be disgusted, right?... Why should I care! I'm fucking Cinder Fall! I lifted her head up to mine by her chin, which made her blush harder. "You can say that." I cooed. Nora squealed loud again at my action. "Cinder..." Ruby whispered and touched my hand, moving it. "No way." I wide my eyes at her answer. No? I thought...
"But.. I thought you liked me." I said, trying not to break down. "I do. I really do..." She smiled. Blake suddenly ran to the restroom, and Yang followed. Maybe Blake thought I was her. Dirty minded girl. Ruby let go of my hand and looked down. "But... I don't know." She whispered. I slowly moved my hand to her cheek. "Ruby..." I said then hugged her. "I don't care what everyone thinks of us. I will never stop liking you this much." I told her in her ear, making her shiver. She hugged me back lightly and Nora yelled, "I gotta write a fanfic of this!" and ran off.
I stroked Ruby's hair lightly then called to her, "Ruby. I... I really care about you." "I care about you too, Cinder." She replied then let go of me. She smiled softly but I just kept a straight face. I cupped her cheeks and pulled her to me. Ruby closed her eyes, ready for our lips to connect, but I didn't. Before we could kiss, I saw Emerald and Mercury looking at me. They are probably angry at me right now. Should I kiss her? Shouldn't I?
I slammed my lips on hers hard. She did the same, but softer. Everyone gasped and silence filled the air. But I didn't care. I got so into it, I started to mess with Ruby's hair a little. She moaned in the kiss,until Weiss stopped us. "Enough!" She yelled and Ruby pulled away from me. Weiss grabbed Ruby's wrist and yanked her back. "You guys are not going to make out! Not here! Not now! Not ever! Let's go,Ruby." She snapped and dragged her away. Usually, Ruby, knowing her, would fight back. But this time, she didn't. I just stood there, thinking I did something wrong again.
Suddenly, Pyrrha came from behind me and tapped my shoulder. "Hello again." She whispered. I turned and answered. "What do you want?" "Me and Nora are having a sleepover. And I was wondering if you could join us. Ruby will be there, I don't know about the others, but she will." She stated. I could tell she was trying to persuade me, and she was doing really good at it. Emerald walked towards us so I couldn't do anything suspicious.
"What's going on, Cinder?" She asked. "Pyrrha invited me to a sleepover. Nothing big." I answered with a smile. Emerald was on to me. She stared me down with a frown then turned to Pyrrha. I knew what she was planning. And her plan was going to fail. "Pyrrha. Would it be bad if Emerald came too?" I asked, smiling evily. "Why no. I don't mind." She replied. Emerald growled a little, but slowly smiled. "Perfect!" She cheered. "Well, it starts at 7:00 tonight. I hope to see you there." Pyrrha said then walked away. I smiled at Emerald and she smiled at me. We both had a plan off our sleeves and only one of us will win.
And it's gonna be me!
