Chapter 2

People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other's personalities. Who wouldn't? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that's not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws?... Can you look at your partner's faults honestly and say, 'I can work around that. I can make something out of it.'?

"Well, this is going to be interesting." Kaleb was getting ready for a meeting he suddenly had to go to, as a late night visitor put a note in his room yesterday while he was at work. " This is why I hate wooooooooooork, I can't even watch my own damn room for god's sake! I mean, seriously? First I have to deal with the White Fang after me now because of my job, now I have someone thats able to bypass the whole security system of my tower? I took me 5 years to set that up! come oooooon." He immediately looked into his dresser, looking for some better than usual casual wear, including his favorite Achieve Men and his grey sweatshirt he sowed last year.

"You should really stop complaining out loud" Kaleb immediately almost jumped out of his skin, as Oobleck considered him a buddy instead of a student, or both, not really known, but one thing is known, He likes pranks and scaring people. "Half the academy can hear you, even Peach hears you in her classroom, and she is a very.. Quiet person"

"Can it Bartholomew, I have a important meeting to go to in an hour, and when did Peach come back to Beacon? I thought she hid herself away in her "sunny side" home?"

"Oh, she did, its just that she still works here, and she was excited for the new batch of students to come here, including Qrow's nieces, she even set up for later in the semester, including a mission to get some tree sap in Forever Fall." Both of them went silent for a minute, excluding Ooblecks sipping of his coffee he always mysteriously has.

"I thought Peach was the type of person just to stay off the "field" and in the sidelines? She usually isn't this active unless she had something devious planned."

"Oh, She does, including this years Initiation, with the help of Peter, she and him made launch pads for the cliffs."

"But, but, but… that means.. You don't think she actually is using the ruins in the valley right? that drop is over 300 meters down… and that place is on the way back."

"Oh, she is, trust me. She has even layed some Nevermore eggs around the area, to make it interesting, I also plan to record this while I watch safely from my classroom."

Kaleb sighed, knowing full well what was most likely going to happen. Yet smiling, also knowing that it was going to be entertaining. "You know, you guys are really evil sometimes, even if the students are on break"

"Yes," Oobleck added that smirk he had used many times before "Yes we are."

Well, here I am, in the position the note told me to go to. No one is here yet, so I might as well listen to some music, glad Auntie Glynda gave me that storage space she found in the forest, has some nice tunes on it. What was that one song? uh… I think it was Wake me up or something. Ahhhh, there we go.

" Feel my way through the darkness, guided by a beating heart. I can't tell where the journey will end, but I know where to start."

Ha, I'm love this song, gotta love the beat and the lyrics. I wonder who made this? I'm even drumming my fingers to the beat. Gosh, I am such a nerd.

"Sir, are you waiting for an employee to help you? I am available right now"

"Oh, um.. I'm sorry, I am waiting for someone right now, I will later though, thanks for asking"

That was weird, I must have been awkward to talk to, especially since I'm not the most normal looking person with my hair right now, it goes down to my shoulders after all, I really need to cut my hair, I really need more shampoo too. Ok, mental note, more shower stuff. I'm just gonna close my eyes right now, I love imagining the beat to this song. I mean, I already have a huge grin on my face.

"Just wake me up when its all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older, I didn't know I was finding myself.. and I didn't know I was lost.."

"That sounds like a nice song, who is it by?" HOLY, WHAT, oh god, my heart is beating so fast, who is that? … Oh gosh, she's cute, really, really cute.

"Uh.. I'm sorry, I was just listening to one of my favorite songs, and you scared me" Oh gosh, she giggled, am I blushing? why in hell am I blushing? I don't even know her. Uh.. BACK UP PLAN GO. "Excuse me, I'm Kaleb."

"Hello, I'm Cinder, Cinder Fall." WAIT, WHAT? CINDER FALL?! DAMNIT, I KNEW IT, I'M SO BONED, I AM SO FREGGIN BONED. I NEED TO RUN, COME ON LEGS, MOVE, I NEED YOU TO WORK. "Please don't walk away, I didn't come to hurt anyone, just want to talk"

I DON'T BELIEVE HER, LEGS, MOVE, PLEASE, I WILL LET YOU REST AT OUR ROOM. DON'T BETRAY MEEEEEEEEE. "Uh… Ok?"

Yes! He isn't gonna run like I thought, I hope this goes good. " Well, I couldn't wait to meet you, you look a lot better in person, I love how your eyes change color too, it's really cute." Heh, he looks so adorable when he is scared, like a puppy lost in the woods without it's mother

"Um.. to be honest, aren't you part of an organization that wants to kill me? I mean, you seem like a nice person and all, but I was thinking you to be more like, "I'm going to fry your ass until you look like a steak!", then again. I take a lot of things out of context." Thats what people think I'm going to do to them? I'm not that horrible of a person.. Am I?

"Thank you for being honest and all, but I am more than my little.. group, I am a human being with different views as well. I wish people would think more of me than what I do to survive in this world, I am very tired of it. I mean, Who in the world doesn't have to do what they to do to survive? People keep judging me just because they don't even know my past! I did multiple things I regret, who hasn't? I'm not so different and people keep treating me like it!

I am sick and tired of this world we have today, just because of all the judgemental people! I hate it! and then people wonder why I started a group like mine? Oh, because they haven't faced it yet, but they will sometime, then they still say I'm some evil bitch! Just because I have another perspective from the world and I want to change it! Ok, I'm different, Oh well! But I am also a human being, with needs! and feelings! They don't know how lonely I have to be, just because rumors ruin me.. I hate it so much.." Oh god… I really escalated there didn't I? I mean, even he is shocked. God, what is wrong with me. Of Course I have a mental breakdown in front of him, why in hell am I so emotionally unstable, Why am I so… broken?

"I … I am so… so sorry." What? why is he saying that? I'm just some idiot that decided to change the world, but is also failing at it.. "I don't understand your situation in what you do, but I know how you feel… the loneliness. I haven't had a real friend other than my fathers friends in years. Just because I am the son of the headmaster, people think I'm a risk.." I look up at him just to find him on the edge of tears, meaning every word he says as well. "I just wish people know how I feel, when they ignore me, when they don't listen to a word I say.

They just think I'm some special kid that is spoiled rotten because I live a luxurious life. I have done hard work too, I even made my tower so I could isolate myself so I wasn't a problem, even my companion hates being alone in there, because he knows how I feel, he is the only one other than you that understands my feeling, and that was through a 10 year bond of aura and being, he even has the color of my aura, he even breathes fire for god's sake. I just want someone to accept me, to know me as I am, not from the rumors that flood the halls of Beacon."

Kaleb was immediately hugged by her, embracing him in a tight, loving hug, a action to know that someone was there for him, as he was there for him. He drew his arms up around her as well, staying in that position for a while, both of them loving the emotion running through them both, listening to eachothers heartbeats. It was just them, in the corner of the joint with no one around. Just, them.

"Well, that was a interesting." Kaleb said, letting go of the embrace they both had on each other. Cinder giggled at the comment and letting go of the hug as well, making sure she wouldn't go too far, as they did just meet in person for the first time.

"Yea, it was. Have anything on mind you want to talk about?"

"Yea, What did you plan on doing before this all snowballed into what it is?"Cinder immediately started thinking of an answer to say, remembering what she was doing before hand.

"I think, I was just trying to start a group or club of some sorts? Trying to get more people to help that had the same view as me, but it all went to hell once people started saying some stuff about the group and me, and ended up falling out of it when their perspective changed completely."

"That sucks, who would want to drop out of something so interesting?"

The duo immediately hit it off, exchanging information about each other, and just getting to know each other. After a few hours though, they both had to be off, especially Kaleb, with Ozpin most likely wondering where he went off to. He went to get up, but Cinder put a hand on his shoulder to ask one last question before they left.

" Hey, do you.. you know? want to meet up again? I can add you into my scroll if you want" Both of them locked eyes, adding more to the scenario, and making Cinder's question more adorable.

"Yea," Kaleb said, with a smile. "Yea, that sounds nice."

Well, I officially hate my writing! I felt so warm inside writing a nice, cute and cuddly scene, but it felt so awkward. I feel as if I messed so much up, I also feel as if I can't make a good conversation, I am so confuzzled. ANYWAY, Please review, and do whatever your beautiful face feels is needed! I am also as you can tell, Really wanting Cinder in, I really feel like she needs a view on things that she has going on, who knows what she is behind all the get up on the show? she might be a really sensitive girl as I put her here, and to be honest. I might put her as the main love interest even without any votes, she is a very interesting character and I love it! so I am very sorry if I do end up putting her as the main pairing despite the people who wanted another, but I am also not sorry. Like I said, she is a very interesting character, and I would love to see how it works. Ok, enough ranting, Ciao guys!
