Weiss tried to make as little sound as possible as she walked away from her father's office door, gesturing for Ruby to follow by a flick of her hand. Ruby followed quietly, looking back at the large white door with intrigue. She hadn't the slightest idea what was behind it. And, despite her best efforts, her sneakers squeaked loudly on the shiny floors.
When they arrived at Weiss's room, Ruby felt a relief from the stark white of the rest of the building, for in Weiss's bedroom, a lot of the white was substituted by pale blue. Her bedroom was extremely large, with a king-sized bed pushed up against the back wall. It was draped with white and blue blankets and littered with various throw pillows.
The walls were also painted baby blue, complementing all of the white in her room very nicely. These people really like the color white, Ruby thought to herself as she scanned the rest of the room, picking up little objects that were placed on the shelves. Weiss cringed slightly as she picked up anything that was breakable, and winced whenever she put it down a little too hard for her liking.
After a while of watching Ruby do the same routine to almost every object she could lift or reach, Weiss cleared her throat and suggested that they start doing homework. She walked over to the large white desk that was completely bare except for a few pens and pencils and a lamp.
They pulled their bags onto the desk, plucking out textbooks and notebooks. Weiss handed Ruby a pencil that was perfectly sharp and had a flat eraser. Ruby examined the perfect pencil, thinking that everything that her family did was perfect. She couldn't decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
After doing the little homework that they both had, Ruby asking for the answers on most of them, which Weiss gave through gritted teeth, it was time for Ruby to leave. As soon as Ruby's phone rang, and Weiss saw that the caller was Ruby's mom, she gave a deep sigh of relief.
Weiss packed Ruby's things for her (quite quickly, at that) and rushed her out the door to a waiting car. Weiss and Ruby stood there for moment, murmuring awkward goodbyes. Weiss pulled Ruby in for an awkward hug. As soon as their skin made contact, electricity spread into their skin, giving the familiar shock that nobody like. Weiss jolted back from Ruby, shaking the hand that had been shocked and murmuring another goodbye. She watched Ruby walk over to her car and climb in.
For the rest of the day, Weiss thought about Ruby. Her face was like a melody that just couldn't leave Weiss's head. And the electricity between them…
This should've been the first thing to tip Weiss off.
