Liz woke up at her regular time to get ready for school. she had slept surprisingly well, having peaceful sleep throughout the night.
she got up slowly, looking around to see if Ruby was awake, which she wasn't, before changing into her clothes.
Luckily, Ruby had awakened only after Liz finished getting dressed, finishing by putting on her hoodie.
She looked over the side of her bunk and Yawned. "Hey Liz..." she said somewhat tiredly as she watched the aforementioned girl finish putting on her hoodie.
Liz looked around at Ruby. "Good morning..." Ruby looked around the room, waking up further, starting to get out of bed quickly. Liz turned to leave the room for Ruby to get herself ready.
Ruby didn't notice until she heard the door closing, looking around at it, already half way undressed. she turned back and continued putting on her school clothes.
A couple minutes passed before Ruby came out in her usual school attire. Liz smiled over at her.
"so let's go?" Ruby asked, walking over to Liz.
"Well wait what about Yang? doesn't she take you?" Ruby shook her head.
"In the mornings I get on the bus..."
"oh..." Liz shrugged. "well then let's go." Ruby nodded, smiling as she ran off to the door. Liz followed out and down the stairs, making sure to stay behind Ruby since she had no idea where the bus stop was.
once they got there, there were no other students. Liz looked around to be sure of this fact, before nodding. she looked at Ruby, who was looking down the street waiting for the bus.
"Is it just you here?" Liz asked, to which Ruby nodded. Liz walked over and looked as well.
they waited for a couple minutes before the bus arrived, and Ruby got on with Liz. The bus was as any would expect, loud and rambunctious.
Liz quickly took note that among the chaos on the bus, Was Juliet. she was standing up and seemed she was one of many sources of the chaos.
She looked around, laughing maniacally, before noticing Liz and Ruby. she ushered them over, and Ruby ran back, Liz following.
"Hey!" she said as she pulled Liz into the seat with her. Ruby sat in the seat across from them.
Liz happily sat down, taking the window seat. Juliet leaned closer to Liz.
"wasn't exactly expecting to see you here." she chuckled, seeing Liz back off slightly. Juliet backed off and stood back up, turning back around as someone called for her.
the ride went on for not too much longer, maybe eight more minutes. Liz had surprisingly been able to get to sleep, taking a short nap.
she was quickly woken up by Juliet shaking her and trying to pull her up. "Hey!"
"what?"
"Get up!"
Liz sighed slightly, standing up and quickly getting off the bus with Ruby and Juliet.
Juliet and Liz said goodbye to Ruby as they parted to their different classes.
LINE BREAK-LINE BREAK
Lunch time, the first official meet up with the little group before elective periods.
Liz was walking down the hall to the cafeteria, With Alissa, as they had their last period together.
She couldnt help but keep her eyes on Alissa in curiousity, and somewhat fear of her jumpy attitude.
Alissa, as could probably be guessed, was kind of jumping along, skipping her way while humming a random tune she just made up off the top of her head.
Liz sighed and looked back ahead of her as she entered the lunchroom, trying to find if Ruby and Juliet we're already at their spot.
They were both sitting and talking, they both already had their food. Alissa began her hop over, Juliet looking over as she did so.
She then looked back at Liz, kind of waving her over. Liz walked over before standing next to Juliet.
"I'm gonna get my food first..." She said to which Juliet nodded.
"Alright then, don't leave us waiting." She joked, and Liz nodded and walked off. She went and got her food, not getting much apart from a burger and things one would normally get with a burger. She also got a cookie, with the intent of giving it to Ruby.
She walked over to their regular table and sat next to Ruby, Ruby looking at her for a second as she sat down. She gave Ruby the cookie and Ruby quietly cheered to herself. Liz chuckled slightly and started eating.
The rest of the day went on as normal, the group had gym together next period so that was a plus.
Not much special really happened, except for when they were leaving.
Liz walked off with Ruby and Yang as usual, and got in the Jeep. Though one thong was different today- Ruby was sitting in back with Liz, as Yang had a new partner in the car.
she was reading a book, one without much to give away ehat the book actually was, but she stopped and looked over at Yang as she stepped in the car.
It was as if Ruby had been in this situation before, as she immediately ran off to the back seat upon seeing the new person with no questions asked.
"Wait... who is this?" Liz asked Ruby as she got in back with her. Yang answered however, looking back.
"oh right, I dont think you've met... Liz, meet Blake." Yang shrugged and Blake turned back around to look at them.
"Hello." she said, to which Liz simply nodded and said hi back, quietly of course.
Blake turned back around as the car started, buckling her seatbelt. Yang glanced over to Blake then to Ruby and Liz behind her.
The ride went on with Yang making small talk with Blake, and Ruby, having nothing better to do, attempting to make conversation with Liz.
"So... thanks for that cookie!" she said, talking about the first thing that popped into her mind. Liz chuckled quietly.
"You're welcome…" she said as she pulled out her phone and the car started moving. Ruby looked over, trying to see what Liz was doing on her phone. Liz noticed, but didn't say anything. She just went on, putting on her regular music. She got out her earbuds, Ruby quickly inquiring about listening as well.
"Oooh, hey can I listen too?" she asked, to which Liz handed over one of the earbuds and nodded.
"Sure." The conversation for the car ride ended there. The normal time went on for the ride, roughly 30 minutes.
Liz had decided to take another small nap as she normally would, only difference being she was woken up by Ruby.
"Hey, here's your earbud." She said as she shook Liz awake, holding the other earbud of course. She nodded as she took it, pocketed it with her phone after turning off the music, then got out the car stretching.
She looked around to see Yang talking with Blake as she walked off, and Ruby closing her door before running over with Liz.
Ruby smiled at her after looking over to Yang and Blake. "Let's get going?" She said, to which Liz nodded.
They made their way up the stairs and into the apartment, Yang was sitting on the couch in her usual way of taking up the whole couch, and Blake had found a chair she was sitting in next to the couch.
"Hey what took ya so long?" Yang teased as Liz and Ruby walked in, Liz closing the door. Ruby stuck her tongue out at Yang before running off into the kitchen.
Liz decided to not do either of those things, simply staying standing where she was. Standing there doing nothing, earned her a slight curious glance from Blake before Ruby ran back out with cookies.
Yang was about to say something before Ruby went over to Liz, and started dragging her off to wherever.
"Come on." Ruby said as she dragged her along, not taking much note of Liz stumbling along at first to keep up with the unexpected travel.
She allowed this journey to take place though, ending up in Ruby's room.
"Wait what was that about?" Liz asked, watching as Ruby shut the door.
"Yang gets to be have a friend over, and so do I!" Liz tilted her head slightly.
"But… don't I technically live here now?" Ruby pouted and while before walking over, and getting one of the cookies out of the box.
"Shush!" she said, before eating the cookie. Liz chuckled and sat down on her bunk.
"Well, what do you wanna do then?" she asked, to which replied by looking up thoughtfully. She then looked back at Liz and shrugged.
"I don't know." She walked over and sat next to Liz, getting out another cookie and offering it to Liz. She shrugged and took it, thinking, why not?
And so they sat, eating cookies and discussing whatever came to mind. Eventually, age somehow came up, which ran into birthdays, which ran into Liz's birthday, which ended with why she didn't tell anyone her birthday was today. 17th birthday as well.
"Wh-Why is it such a big deal?" Liz asked, blushing slightly as she looked away. Ruby quickly jumped up.
"Because it's your birthday!"
"Yeah, October 14th, but, I-It's not that important…" Ruby whined.
"of course it is! And we're gonna celebrate today! No matter what you say!" Liz looked over at Ruby. Once again, she knew there was probably no way she could not do this.
Liz sighed. "Okay, if you really say so…"
Ruby quickly pulled Liz up, and smiled. "Come on, this'll be fun! You'll have fun! It's your birthday! Have fun…" Liz chuckled slightly at Ruby's constant usage of the word fun in that manner.
"Okay, I will." Ruby jumped up and down slightly, smiling widely now.
"Alright! Now let's go tell Yang!" Liz sighed.
"Do you have to tell Yang?"
"Duh, how else are we gonna take you anywhere? I can't drive!" she said, smiling. Liz nodded.
"Okay then…" well… it can't be that bad, can it? After all… what's wrong with having fun? Liz thought as Ruby dragged her back off to the door, obviously to tell Yang of the news.
LINE BREAK-LINE BREAK
Whew, Microsoft word is a beauty, isn't she? Yes, I just started using word. Now I can write offline. Huzzah.
So yeah, Liz's birthday. Honestly I could've used the day I created her but decided to use the day I uploaded this chapter.
I just felt like it.
Also, I'm sorry I didn't update sooner. I was going to update last Friday but got caught on shit.
That shit totally wasn't me finding Doom 3 BFG edition in my old games and beating all three Doom's, no, it totally wasn't.
Anyway, I'm sorry. Hope y'all can forgive me? Also, any suggestions for next chapter, which will obviously be getting Liz out for her birthday, would be much appreciated. Or just suggestions in general. For real.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'll ty to upload by next Friday, but I can't make any promises because next Friday I have a wedding I'm going to. In Ohio.
