Chapter 3: A minor 'annoyance'

Raven and Qrow followed in the direction in which the other students were traveling in. He didn't see Summer after Raven scared her off. The halls they walked through were a shaded white colour with portraits lining the walls. Many a foot step has walked down these hall ways, many a legendary hunter has been down these hall ways. He'd be one of them. One of Legends. There was a huge set of two wooden double doors. The students all piled into the room. The teacher by the door stopped to twins.

"You don't have suitcases…" The teacher frowned. The man was dressed standard black, formal combat suit, with a little bow tie to fully compliment the outfit. With a crossbow over his shoulder.

"Why does everyone keep pointing that out?" Raven huffed. The teacher looked them up and down.

"We'll find you some spare clothes and sleeping bags." The teacher sidled away, still wary of them. Qrow felt something fall into the pit of his stomach. No they can't know who they are. It's just that the others bought their suitcases and they're the only ones who haven't. If they found out who they are, they would be thrown out of the academy, then into jail.

"Stop being dramatic." Raven nudged him roughly. "I swear ever since you found out what your semblance is, you've become as paranoid as a mouse."

"If they know who we are, then we're screwed." Qrow whispered.

"Correction. If they know who we are, YOU'RE screwed. I don't care whether I get kicked out." She poked him. Why was her brother so different now he was at this place? Why did he care about what the tribe has done in past? Qrow began to walk into the hall and started to walk towards where the boys seemed to congregate. Raven began to follow.

"What are you doing?" Qrow raised an eyebrow.

"Erm following you." Raven shook her head in annoyance.

"I'm going to the men's side of the hall…" He folded his arms. "Which means you" He turned her around towards the other side of the room. "Have to be sociable." He shoved her in the direction he'd turned her and walked away.

Qrow walked over to a more secluded part of the men's side of the hall, granted there were still people there but he didn't want to go near the 'popular' group of boys. He sat on the ledge of one of the massive bay windows that lined the outside wall. Whilst he was sat there, he took in the surroundings. The dinner hall was big. Bigger than he'd thought it would be. To his left was the where the food stand would be if the place was up and running, the big metal grate pulled down over the counter, the metal rails on which trays would be moved along, the whole thing looked kind of military like. However from what he'd recalled, this was the norm for a dinner hall to have a big food stand. As he was scouting out the area, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people approach him. One was very weedy and he just generally looked weak. His green hair seemed to be spiked up into his attempt of a quiff, emphasis on the attempt. He had a shirt similar to his, a buttoned white three quarter sleeve shirt. Though he had to feel sorry for the lad, whoever had forced him into the dungarees had an awful sense of fashion. The porky man next to him looked a bit older than eighteen. His attire begged to differ, it looked like it was made a century ago. A royal maroon blazer, with match trousers, and an undershirt which was the same white as the lad next to him. His hair was that in fashion with an elderly man, white.

"Hey there." The porky one bellowed.

"Hi" Qrow monotonously replied.

"So, what's your name" The green hair one smiled awkwardly. Qrow was about answer but stopped himself momentarily. No. He was starting a new life, shouldn't be paranoid over what he's done in the past.

"Qrow."

"Crow?" The porky one mumbled.

"Yes but with a Q, not a C." Qrow raised an eyebrow. Then there was an awkward silence. "And yours?"

"Oh erm." The weedy boy cleared his throat. "I am Bartholomew."

"And I am Peter. Nice to meet you Qrow." Peter held out his hand and Qrow accepted it with a small smile. Bartholomew, in turn, offered his hand to Qrow. "Mind if we sit here?"

"Sure" Qrow chuckled to himself. They all sat in the bay window ideally chatting and just passing time by.

Raven sat near the bookshelf, watching the other girls talk about childish things. Things that she had never thought about. Boys, fashion, nail colours, food, and boys. Yeah, they talked about them… a lot. She peered over to her brother and saw him talking to two boys. Great he found more friends. She huffed, making him see sense was now going to be a bit tougher. He at least knew four people here, three excluding herself. After just under four hours in this place, she still couldn't find what was wrong with it. The people were decent, the place itself was decent and their self-proclaimed 'reputation' was decent. Qrow seemed happy talking to these strangers. Suddenly the doors opened.

"Master Qrow Branwen and Miss Raven Branwen." She got up and meandered towards the teacher. She stood by him as they had to wait for Qrow to finish socialising. The teacher then handed them a sleeping bag each and some spare clothes. He then turned and walked away.

"Wow, you both forgot your suitcases?" A voice echoed over to them. They both turned towards the voice. A blonde haired man sauntered over to them. His attire that very much of vale. Beige, armoured, light fabrics and very rich looking. He crossed his arms as he stood confidently in front of the two. Qrow grumbled and rolled his eyes as he walked away. The strangers blue eyes widened as he spotted Raven. "Well, it's nice to meet someone who's in my league here" he slid closer to her. He smirked. Raven sneered at him and walked away. "It's ok I get it your shy… I can work with that." He followed her. "I'm Tai-yang by the way, but you can call me Tai."

"Leave. Me. Alone." She hissed. He smiled.

"Playing hard to get?" He winked.

"You're playing hard to get RID OF" she yelled. Many faces turned around to her and gawked at the two. Raven felt them all judging her.

"Feisty." He smirked.

Correction on the statements before, she found something horrid about this place.

Qrow watched his sister in great amusement, and at her new stray puppy that had followed her home. He made his way back to Bart and Pete with his things. They made room for him again at on the window. They were happily chatting about what their interests were, where they come from and what they want to get out of Beacon academy. Peter wanted to become a world renowned professor, have a name that everyone would know as the best Grimm researcher in the world of Remnant. Bart wanted to be a huntsmen obviously, but also if he tried hard enough get the title of Doctor as well. Qrow, didn't know a valid or grand enough reason to come here, 'be a better man' was how he put it, but also he wouldn't mind being a famed hunter, one even the Grimm feared. They were merrily chatting away when Pete turned and saw someone he recognised.

"Well, hey look who's here." Peter bellowed in disbelief. Qrow and Bart followed his gaze. There she was again, Summer. She made her way over, her cloak still covering her face. Peter got up and slung an arm around her. "Qrow this is Su-"

"We've met." She sighed in relief. She seemed more relaxed than when he'd seen her in the main hall, probably because she was around friends. "Nice to see you again." He could hear a smile in her tone.

"Good to see you again." Pete chuckled. "Sit with us." Bart got up and offered the lady his seat and sat on the floor next to his friend. Qrow shuffled up to make room for her cloak.

"Thanks erm…"

"Bartholomew" he dipped his head.

"Summer, why don't you take your hood down, no need to be shy around friends is there?" Pete chuckled. Summer shrugged after a couple of seconds and pushed her hood back, her black and red hair sticking up slightly with static. She patted it down roughly and smiled. Her silver eyes lighting up as she looked at them all. "See all friends." He chuckled again.

"It is nice to actually see people's faces." She giggled to herself.

"How do you and Pete know each other?" Bart piped up.

"Oh, we used to be neighbours before me and my parents moved to Mountain Glenn." Summer placed her hands in her lap.

"How's life there?" Pete added.

"Rough, mother and father are out a lot on boarder control but Grimm are getting worse."

"Why'd you move there if you guys knew there was going to be Grimm there?" Qrow asked with a slight sarcastic tone.

"My parents are hunters and they were asked to move there to help keep the numbers down and in turn keeping panic to a minimum as people know two of the best hunters live in mountain Glenn."

"Makes sense." Qrow pondered.

"Anyway what do guys thing of tomorrow." She smiled.

"From the research I've done the assessment will be something related to grim." Bart pushed his glasses further up his nose.

"Well obviously." Pete grumbled. "It's very hush hush apparently." He clarified.

"Oh." Summer and Qrow both said in unison. Summer started to swing her legs. Then she made a noise and quickly scurried into her white suitcase. She pulled out a bakery bag.

"Mother said I should bring cookies just in case I got hungry." Summer opened the bag and offered them all some. "But I'd feel lonely if I ate them on my own, what's sadder than eating cookies on your own?" She giggled

Qrow picked up one of the chocolate cookies out of the bag. "Thanks." Raven was going to be annoyed at him. He wanted to stay here. He liked it here and he'd only been here about five hours. It felt like it was flying by. He'd made four new friends, Peter, Bart and Summer. They were all nice and welcoming. They were what friends he wished he'd always had, not because they feared him but because they genuinely like him. Raven never saw friends in that light, they should fear you apparently. But now, here, with these three he felt, happy and warm not happy because he had to be, happy because he was happy.

And there we have it chapter 3. So sorry for the late update. Was planning on finishing and releasing it Saturday but college was like 'lol free time you don't need free time' and yeah n.n

Tai was quite fun to write, I picture him as a person trying to be cool on their first day but ends up being just annoying. We all know that person or have been that person XP

Next chapter you can probably guess what's going to happen I will try and get the next chapter done by Sunday, but sorry in advance if I don't.

Thanks so much for all the Follows and favourites :D
