Hope y'all enjoyed and I hope I didn't get a flame...yet. But anyway, I hope you guys get the point of the team name soon. You'll get it in this chapter. Anyway, enjoy!
I stretched out, feeling free as the assembly had finally concluded. Yawning, I looked at my schedule, only seeing my lunch period on it. Classes are probably assigned after we get our teams, huh. Sighing, I looked around, trying to see anyone familiar. But being the only student from Signal, I guess it couldn't hurt to make a few new friends then. I began walking towards the direction of the mess hall, only to get stopped by that girl with the blue eyes from earlier. Now that I think about it, she had silver hair with red ribbons on some braided bangs. She smiled at me and said, "You look lost."
I shook my head, replying, "Actually, I'm just trying to find some people to befriend."
The girl tilted her head, then laughed and said, "Oh yeah, you're that one kid who came from Signal, right?"
I dropped my head. Ow, that remark hurt.
She laughed again and said, "My bad; my name's Sakuya, but people at my old school would call me 'Sierra.'"
"Yo, Sierra!"
I looked over her shoulder, seeing the big guy she was talking to on the ship.
"Who's the runt?"
Ouch again. Gee, way to ruin my good moral on the first day, asshole.
"He's the one kid who got accepted from Signal."
…Ah, screw it. I give up. I might as well accept the fact that people are going to give me crap about it.
The guy laughed, regaining his composure several moments later and saying, "Ah, my bad; my name's Hotel Lancer."
I smiled and replied, "Delta Ordance, nice to meet you, Sierra, Hotel."
"See? He's already calling you 'Sierra.'"
"Ah, shut it."
I blinked in confusion, then asked, "So then would it be better to call you 'Sakuya?'"
The girl shivered at the very word, replying, "hell no; Sierra's fine!"
…What…?
Shrugging, I replied, "Okay, suit yourself."
"Ah, I'm starving," Hotel said, looking around, finally realizing that the crowd that was around us was finally gone. I looked around, quickly seeing people eating in a nearby building.
"Look," I said, "there's the mess hall; lets-!"
SPLAT!
I looked at my feet, seeing a destroyed watermelon on the ground before me. Blinking, I picked it up, then looked at a broken window, taking an experimental bite out of the broken piece of watermelon. Looking in, I saw what looked like a girl with orange hair in uniform giving an evil laugh as she yelled, "I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!"
I then looked at the opposite end of the café, seeing Ruby and what appeared to be her team getting ready to do battle. I heard Sierra chuckling behind me as I took another bite out of the watermelon in my hands, turning around and seeing them stand behind me with some popcorn. Wait a second, I only saw this watermelon get tossed out. Where in the world did they get popcorn?
"This should be good," Sierra said, suddenly with chairs in her hands. Raising an eyebrow in suspicion, I slowly turned back to see Ruby's blonde sister, Yang, picking up turkeys and using them as her Ember Celica. Turning back to the other side, I watched the blonde guy throw a watermelon, as well as the rest of that team throwing watermelons on toward the other side.
"Is Team RWBY and JNPR at it again?"
"Seriously, this is the second time in a year…!"
I cracked a grin; that's just so like Ruby starting a food fight in two consecutive years. In fact, I remember the first one she got me involved in one. Except it was just us two against the whole damn café. This time, it's an even match of four-on-four, not two-on-thirty six. Suddenly, the doors to the café flew open as the woman on the hologram and who was at the assembly appeared, slapping everything back into place, as well as having both teams relax and call cease fire. I kept my eyes on Ruby, suddenly finding myself checking her out.
Hmm…she's become more…defined….
"Deeeeeellltaaaaa!"
I jumped, turning around and seeing Sierra smirking at me. Hotel was also shooting me a look, causing me to raise an eyebrow in confusion. Sierra's smirk only widened as she asked, "Don't tell me you have a crush on one of them?"
I quickly turned away, my face growing hot as I heard her say, "Aww, he's blushing Hotel!"
Sighing, I stood up, dropping the shell of the watermelon I was just finishing eating and said, "I'm gonna go get some proper food in me now."
Opening the grand doors to the café, I caught sight of both teams walking out. On one side, I saw the blonde guy, a red head girl with a headband, a black haired guy, and an orange haired girl. I assume they're Team JNPR. Then on the other side, there was Ruby, Yang, a girl with a black hair ribbon, and a girl with a white hair and a scar over her eye. Team RWBY.
However, I was too caught up with making out individual squads that I felt something run into me. Or rather, someone who ran into me.
"Oops! Sorry!"
"N-no no! I'm sorry for not moving, Ruby!"
I smiled at her, continuing on my way. I didn't even want to face her out of fear that she might not remember me. Just the thought of that was painful…jeez….
Shaking the thought out of my head, I quickly made my way to the only table that had survived the ordeal and that still had a whole platter of food on it. As well as a girl with what looked like wolf ears sticking out of her head. A faunis I assume.
"Hi," I said, "mind if I sit here?"
The girl looked up at me, shaking her head.
Sitting down, I took a plate and asked, "Mind if I ask for your name?"
The girl remained silent, looking down on her plate, almost as if she was trying to hide or something. I blinked several times, then said, "My name's Delta."
She continued to play silent. I sighed, clearly not getting an answer from her. However, right as I was about to dive into my food, I was answered with, "…Lima…Kerrigan…."
Looking up, I smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Lima."
The girl looked up at me, then at the door where Sierra and Hotel were walking in.
"Ah, that's so nice of Delta," I heard Hotel say, "He saved some seats and food for us!"
The fuck I did.
Regardless, he sat down next to me while Sierra sat down next to Lima, who shifted uncomfortably. I blinked several times, then said, "You know, you aughta introduce yourselves."
Hotel and Sierra stared at me, then both looked at Lima, who looked like she was trying to hide herself again. They both smiled and introduced themselves as Lima ceased to answer them like she did to me. I sighed, answering for her, "and she's Lima Kerrigan."
I looked up, seeing Sierra with a "that name seems familiar" look on her face, then like a light bulb lit up in her mind as she said, "aren't you that girl that was always picked on at school!?"
Lima didn't answer, but nodded her head ever so slightly. Sierra laughed and said, "Ah, don't worry; we're all friends here!"
Lima flinched as Sierra swung her arm around her, saying, "If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, picks on you, then we have your back."
The girl relaxed, then muttered, "…f…friends…."
I paid no attention, taking a bite of the turkey leg as people began filing back in.
