Here it is, the long awaited Friends forever chapter 3! Sorry it took so long to get to this.
Ruby sighed, her eyes staring down at her untouched meal, Alaskan King crab, something Weiss's cook had whipped up for dinner. To her left, Whitley was talking to his father adamantly about how well he was doing in school. To her right, Weiss was telling her mother of the "commoner" school she was attending and all the, how did she put it? "Fascinating" things she's learning about "commoners", and finally, across from her was Winter.
'The only sane one of the bunch' Ruby thought to herself, smirking slightly.
"Ruby dear, is there something wrong with your food?" asked.
"Oh, no ma'am, I'm just not hungry." Ruby said softly.
"If you'd like, we could have something else made for you." Jacques said.
"No no, really I'm okay. Actually, may I use your restroom?"
"Of course, I believe you know where it is?" Jacques asked.
She nodded.
"If you wish, I can accompany you miss Rose." Whitely offered, standing, hand outstretched to Ruby.
"No thank you Whitely, I'll be fine on my own." Ruby said, patting the top of his hand dismissively, before standing, and heading into the hall.
For a moment the Schnee's sat in silence, before all attention was on a silent Winter.
She sighed and stood, following the usually hyperactive red "streak".
Winter had groaned when she found that Ruby had skipped the restroom altogether, heading to where she usually went when something bothered her, the deck.
As expected, she found Ruby, her knees tucked to her chest, staring up at the night sky.
"What's wrong Rosenblatt?" Winter asked softly as she sat next to the red lump.
Ruby only made a strange, sad, sound.
"Fine, don't answer, then I'll have to tell you all about how much I want to bang your dad." Winter grinned.
"Blake." Ruby mumbled.
"Blake? Who's Blake?"
"My best friend."
"Wait, the Faunus girl?" Winter asked, obviously bewildered.
Ruby nodded.
"What about her?"
"She's the new student in our class."
"But isn't that a good thing?"
Ruby gave no answer, her silver orbs staring longingly out over the horizon.
Winter sighed. "You like her don't you?"
Ruby covered Winter's mouth. "Don't say that!"
Winter sighed again, licking Ruby's hand.
She yelped and uncovered her mouth, wiping her hand off on Winter's sleeve.
"So why shouldn't I say it?" Winter asked.
"Because I'm with Weiss!"
Winter sighed. "Ruby, we all know Weiss and you are dating because-"
"Winter." Whitely's voice came from behind them.
"What?" Winter groaned.
"Some man by the name of Branwen says he's here to talk about your work performance?"
Winter patted Ruby on the head and walked passed Whitely.
Whitely waited for Winter to be out of earshot before walking up behind Ruby and leaning against her.
"How much did you hear?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, enough." Whitely grinned. "You know it's funny, even though Weiss hates us, she does such a good job covering for us."
"You mean for you!" Ruby yelled, her voice tinged with anger.
Whitely chuckled. "Yes. For me. And you know what's funny about her covering for me?"
The color left Ruby's face, her eyes widening.
"I can do it again and again, all I like, because you're stuck with us forever. Now little Red, let's make some use of that position."
Ruby screamed for help, her cries falling on deaf ears as the night whisked away.
The next day, Blake was in class, and much to her dismay, Weiss was present, but strangely enough...Ruby wasn't. This wouldn't have been strange if their professor hadn't commented on it, going so far as to ask Weiss why Ruby wasn't present.
Her response, a quick and soft, "Doctors appointment."
Their professor just nodded, dropping the subject as he started a new lesson, but Blake, Blake's eyes were focused on Weiss. Something about how quickly she had answered, made her skin crawl, almost as if it was...rehearsed. Usually, Weiss would wait for a question to finish, anyone would, it's just common courtesy, but….Weiss had nearly cut their professor off with her answer, the way it sounded even sounded like an actor delivering a line, only raising her suspicion.
After class Blake caught up to Weiss.
"Excuse me, Weiss?" Blake asked.
Weiss stopped, and studied Blake, her slight smile, becoming a frown at the sight of her ears. "I'm sorry but I'm busy." Weiss said, snarkily as the 1% so stereotypically do.
"Wait, Weiss, my name is Blake, and I-"
"As in Belladonna?" Weiss seemed to suddenly take interest.
"Yes, Blake Belladonna, nice to meet you." Blake blatantly lied.
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize you!"
"Oh, uh, it's alright, really."
"Still, I just want to say I'm sorry for how I treated you and Ruby when we were kids, I'm sure I seem more than hypocritical now huh?" Weiss smiled.
Blake gave a slight smirk. "I suppose, and all's forgiven, I was wondering, is Ruby free to hang out anytime?"
"Oh, uhm, I'm afraid our schedule is quite packed for the next few weeks. Months. Years." Weiss said, her voice flooded with panic.
"Weiss?"
"Hm?"
"Is...everything okay?" Blake asked, a tad disturbed by the heiress's actions.
"Fine. Everythings good. Yes. I have to go now, bye." Weiss said before speeding off, disappearing in a crowd of seniors.
'And people say I'm weird? She's straight up the Bipolar Express, hot damn.' Blake thought to herself.
'Guess I'm keeping an eye on you miss Heiress.'
'Shit, fuck. Fuck, shit, why her?! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO BE HOT?!' Weiss screamed internally.
