Fallen Shadow69 - It's a good movie!

Ruby sat in the other chair, feeling the girls eyes on her. Did she remember her?
"This is Neo Fall, she'll be in all of your classes starting today. Ruby nodded sparing a glance towards Neo, who was now staring down at her hands.
The redhead sighed before tapping the girls shoulder making her jump. She bit her lip before moving her hands. "It looks like I'll be helping you… is that ok?"
Neo raised an eyebrow. "You know sign?"
Ruby huffed. "I took a few classes, thought… it would be helpful to know it."
Neo gave a small nod looking back towards the counselor, before glancing back towards Ruby.
"Uh… she wants to know if there is anything else she needs?"
Mrs. Tosi shook her head. "She's good to go, if you could just show her to her classes we should be fine." The women said giving Ruby a smile.
The redhead sighed nodding. "Alrighty then."
'Of course it had to be me
Ruby shifted in her seat listening to Mr. Ports fine lectures on whatever. She never paid attention, and with the new girl sitting next to her… that added to it.
She picked up her pencil before weaving it between her fingers, her right leg bouncing just slightly.
She felt a piece of paper land on her desk, she raised an eyebrow glancing down. She opened it reading what was written.
You don't have to help me if you don't want to. I'm fine managing on my own.
She frowned glancing towards the girl who was watching Mr. Port diligently. Another thing was Neo could read lips if she remembered right.
More so for my benefit.
Folding up the paper she slipped it onto the girl's desk going back to ignoring the teacher.
Once again the paper found its way to her desk.
I don't care about that anymore.
Ruby bit her lip spinning her pencil in her hand.
Then why mention it.
She put the paper back before putting her head down, she didn't want to be in the class anymore.
She felt sick to her stomach. It felt like the whole classroom was spinning, the clock ticking louder than everything else. She took a deep breath.
"The fuck is wrong with you kid. Messing with a deaf girl! I thought I taught you better than that." Tai growled sending a kick into the girl's stomach.
She sat there, taking each and every hit. Not a cry, nothing at all… just emotionless.
"You asshole leave her alone!"
He was right, torturing this poor girl? Who would do such a thing, you'd have to be so low as to ever do what she did to this girl.
Words, pushing, punching, kicks, destroying. She did everything to her and yet… sorry wasn't enough.
She felt a tap to her shoulder making her groan, she sat up in her chair rubbing her eyes. The bell had just finished ringing. Students were collecting their things and heading to 2nd period.
"Shit." She mumbled packing her things. She noticed the paper, quickly she grabbed it stuffing it into her pocket.
"Alright, next is Science with Glynda. She's nice but can be a bit sometimes." Ruby explained to the girl. Neo gave a small nod as the two walked down the hallway.
The redhead bit the inside of her cheek. She slowly pulled up her hood staring down at the ground. Hopefully Cardins squad didn't notice her, but sadly her luck wasn't on her side today.
"Yo queer where do you think you're going!" The guy said pulling on her bag forcing them to stop.
"Just leave me alone Cardin." Ruby mumbled pulling her bag out of the boys hand. Neo had no idea what was going on between the two the conversation hard for her to follow.
"Oh who's this?" Cardin said stepping forward towards Neo, who backed up a little raising an eyebrow.
When Neo didn't reply with anything Cardin snorted. "Did you not hear me, who the fuck are you?" He said again getting a little too close for Neo's comfort.
Ruby sighed inside. I'm going to get myself killed today. She thought before stepping in between the two.
Russel whistled. "Boy Rose you sure have the balls today."
Dove chuckled crossing his arms over his chest, standing back against a locker.
"Hey! Break it up you four, get to class now!" Mr. Garrison said from down the hall.
Cardin snorted as he pushed the girl into the locker before walking down the other way. "You're lucky Rose."
Russel and Dove both followed with Cardin chuckling at the girl. Ruby took a deep breath deflating a little.
She felt her heart pounding against her chest, she really thought she was a goner.
She felt something poke her shoulder making her look towards Neo, who wore a concerned look on her face.
She felt guilt rise in her chest.
"You ok? What was his deal?"
Ruby shook her head. "Don't worry about it, let's just get to class before we're late." She fixed her bag before walking passed Neo.
'You shouldn't be concerned with me. Not me… I don't deserve your pity.' She thought a frown on her face.
Ruby closed the locker pulling her hoodie up, she shifted her bag more onto her shoulder sighing.
Finally another day over with and no black eyes. Hopefully.
She walked down the hall a few students left, some had practice and others just stayed to wait for friends.
Ruby huffed stepping outside, she pulled her earbuds out slipping them into her ears. She went to her usual spot, a small little bench out in front. She closed her eyes leaning back into the bench.
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform
She felt a tap on her shoulder making her sigh, she opened one eye glancing to her left. Neo gave a small unsure wave. Ruby scooted over to let the girl sit down.
"Sorry if I'm being a bother."
Ruby shook her head pulling out an earbud. "Don't be, stop being sorry." Neo frowned nodding, she pulled out a small book flicking it open.
"Stop trying to get me to write in your dumbass book." Ruby growled forcefully taking it from Neo's hands. She tossed it in the air before kicking it like she was playing kickball.
She huffed shaking her head watching Neo fumble with her hands, she cupped them together.
"Just fuck off."
Ruby opened her eyes glancing towards Neo, who was still reading her book. She poked Neo gaining her attention.
"What kind of books do you read?"
Neo flashed the title. Luckiest Girl Alive.
"Mostly romance, adventure. I'd say a mix of different Genres." Neo paused for a second, dog tagging her page. "What about you?"
"I guess mostly what my sisters girlfriend leaves around the house, but don't tell her that. Most of those things she doesn't like me reading."
Neo gave a silent laugh, covering her mouth with her hand. Ruby felt a small smile grace her lips before it went away.
She heard a honk gaining her attention, Blake waved from the car making her sigh. "Looks like I have to go… are you ok being by yourself?"
Neo nodded. "Don't worry my mom should be here any minute."
Ruby gave a small nod standing up from her spot, she started to walk towards Blake's car before looking back towards Neo.
"Yang should be home soon, there was a fight at the bar." Blake explained setting her bag down on the kitchen counter. Ruby nodded going to the fridge, she pulled out a water bottle.
"Anything fun at the library today?" She asked popping open her bottle of water before chugging it down.
"No, usual day. I'm going to start on dinner, anything special you want?"
The redhead shook her head. "I'm not hungry, just make whatever." She said climbing up the stairs, she went into her room closing the door. She went over to her desk opening the bottom drawer, she sat in her desk looking at the thing in the drawer.
She would hear… she'd stop her. She reached in running her finger over the bristly rope. She sighed closing the drawer.
"Mostly romance, adventure. I'd say a mix of different Genres."
The redhead got up from her chair going over to her bookshelf. She pulled a few books off going back over to her bag.
She heard the door close downstairs, muffled talking.
"Hey Ruby! I got you cookies." Yang yelled up the stairs.
Ruby bit her lip looking at the drawer. "Ok, I'm coming." She replied.
Why… was it? No, it couldn't be… she could never.
Hope you all enjoyed! Also happy Valentines day to everyone =)
