Hey! Look I'm not dead! I'm really sorry about my absence! My senior year has been a LOOOOONNNNNG year. But now I'm in a writing mood and finished the second chapter finally. Tomorrow after work I'll write the third chapter! Also, there will be an introduction of an OC of mine. I hope you like him! Enjoy and remember! I don't own anything except my OC!
Neo clenched her eyes shut. She wasn't going to shy away from the hit she was about to get but she didn't want to see it coming. But nothing came. No force, no weight, no pain. The petite girl slowly opened her eyes. The blonde's fist was centimeters from her face.
"How many times do I have to tell you to not pick fights? Now put the poor girl down." The female voice instructed. The woman sounded older but not to old. Neo felt as the blonde in front of her was lowering her guard.
"The midget started it."
"I don't care. Yang I can't give you anymore warnings. I have no choice but I will be telling Principal Ozpin." Yang's whole demeanor changed. The tall girl's grip loosened at the mention of the principal. Neo took this opportunity and broke free of Yang's grip. The small girl hit the ground and landed on her back.
"We can't get him involved! That means I'll get another detention and I can't afford one!" Yang then quickly pulled Neo to her feet and dusted her off. She then picked up Neo's bag and handed it to Neo nicely. "See? We're perfectly fine here. In fact I made a new friend! Right?" Yang put on a panicked grin. Neo looked at the woman, this situation reminded her of when Cinder and Mercury would argue and Mercury would realize it was woman defiantely had a lot of authority here.
"Well. What do you think young lady? Are you two friends now?" The woman's bright green eyes stared right at Neo. It almost made the small girl feel even smaller. The woman's blonde hair pulled back tightly in a blonde bun. Her glasses only making it so much more intimidating.
Neo then looked up at Yang. Yang had a pleading look in her eyes. The woman in front of her was extremely intimidating.
"R-right. Y-yang and I are cool. S-She helped me clean up after a b-boy named C-cardin spilled my c-coffee on me." Neo finally got out. Were all the blondes here so scary? The woman adjusted her glasses.
"Count your blessings Yang Xaio Long." The woman turned and started to walk away. The sound of clicking of heels following her.
"Thanks Glynda!" Yang called. She then turned to the small girl and patted Neo's head. "Thanks Shorty. You really saved me. Even if you have a bad attitude. I owe you one. See you around." Yang waved and ran to catch the door.
Neo just stared. This school was so weird. It didn't make sense to her. Everyone who goes here is either mean or crazy. A loud bell rang, most likely signaling the start of homeroom. The small girl already broke the rules her brother set for surviving, picked a fight, stuttered, and didn't stay calm. Perfect.
Neo roamed the winding halls. She had went to the main office and got her schedule. She now had to find room C 116. This was her first period class. And it was History. A boring class this early in the morning? That spelt trouble. The small girl finally found the classroom and tried to open the door. It was locked. A man with spiky green hair and glasses ran over and peered through the window.
"No visitors allowed!" He then ran back and attempted to continued his lecture. Neo knocked. He ran over once more. "If you wish to speak to me then you must wait until class is over." The man turned once more to go back to the center of the classroom.
"W-wait! I'm a new student!" Neo did her best not to roll her eyes. This guy belonged in a energy drink commercial. The man turned and adjusted his glasses.
"Very well then. You must be Ms. Torchwick. Come in." He unlocked the door and opened it for the small girl. Neo adjusted her bag and stepped in the room. All eyes were on her. She tried to keep her shaking at bay but she could feel that the grip on her bag was starting to get shaky.
The man stood in front of the classroom. "Now don't be shy! Come stand next to me." Neo just nodded and tried to stand tall. She walked over to the man. "Now introduce yourself while I get all of the supplies you'll need for my class." The teacher then started running around the room grabbing multiple books.
"U-uh my name is Neo. M-maybe you all know my siblings who are E-Emerald and Mercury F-Fall." Neo adjusted her stance when a few guys in football jerseys snickered a her statement. Neo narrowed her eyes and put her chin up. "And can I ask what's so funny about that?"
The teacher stopped and looked at the girl. It was obvious that he was observing her body language and started to try and predict her next move. The boys looked at her. "You're related to them? The drop out and the pot head?"
Neo opened her mouth to counter when she realized the whispers going around the room. They had to be about her. The faces were all similar. They either looked amused or they just took pity on her. Her chest tightened, her anxiety took over.
"T-they're n-not bad. M-mercurey didn't d-drop out. H-he g-graduated." Neo finally got out. She could feel her hands shaking.
"After being held back twice." The retorted and busted out laughing. Neo was tearing up. The tears were threatening to fall.
"T-that w-was b-because o-of family i-issues w-with our d-dad." Neo choked out. The teacher came over and placed a hand on Neo's shoulder.
"Are you serious?" The boy looked serious and then his face grew into a grin. "The supposively big bad Mercurey has daddy issues? That's hysterical!"
Neo just started shaking more and her hands formed into fists as she tried to step forward toward him. The Oobleck keeping a firm grip on her shoulder that kept her from moving. "Everyone has issues of their own!" The small girl's voice cracked. Her chest heaving up and down trying to get breath.
Suddenly a girl shot up from her seat. Almost ninja like, she launched her text book at the guy who opened his mouth to say something more. Neo looked at her. She had long black hair with a bow perched on her head. Her yellow eyes showing anger at the boy.
"Ms. Belladonna! This is your final warning on throwing textbooks at other students." The teacher told the girl. Another student stood up. He had extremely long black hair that had one small pink strip that was pulled back. He picked up the book and and nodded at Neo with an understanding smile.
"I think it's time to end this show Professor Oobleck. I think it would be beneficial to continue with your lecture on early Vale plant life." He then looked at the girl standing in the back of the class. "You dropped something Blake." He then threw the book back and the black haired girl caught it.
"It seems that I did Ren. Thank you for returning it." She then looked at Neo and nodded. Neo nodded back. Oobleck then shook his head.
"Very well. Ms. Torchwick. You may take your seat. You will be sitting next to Ms. Belladonna." Neo just nodded and headed toward her seat, her head down. Once at her desk she sat down and let a tear slip. This place was awful.
"It'll be okay. The first day is always the hardest. I was the new kid before you. It gets easier." The ninja girl murmured while gently rubbing Neo's back.
The smaller girl could only muster a pathetic attempt at a smile. "Yeah." She mumbled.
Blake looked at her and smiled thinking of a plan. "Let me see your schedule. Maybe we'll have another class together." Neo just slid the paper over glancing around to see what the other students were doing. A lot of them were paying attention to Professor Oobleck but a few just kept looking at her. It was like she was an animal in a zoo. "Well we might not have anymore classes together that isn't lunch but, I can introduce you to my friends who are in those classes if you'd like."
"Th-thanks." Neo just looked her in the eye and nodded. She just wanted to go home.
Once the bell rung, Neo got up quickly and was the first to leave. She did not want to be in there any longer. She then headed to her next class. The multi color haired girl walked at a fast pace. She needed to get to her next class as soon as possible. Neo then felt her foot hit something and toppled over, her books from history spilled from her arms.
"And then I just looked at him and said-Woah! Are you alright there?" Neo looked up to see a tall slim guy with messy red hair and warm brown eyes. He had a white tee shirt on and ripped up jeans. She turned and saw a long ringed tail swaying slightly. She then realized she was staring and then shifted her eyesight to the male's face.
"U-Uh,"
"Here let me help you." He then got all of her books for her and then lifted Neo to her feet.
"Thank you." Neo murmured.
The tall male grinned goofily. "It's no problem! You have to be new. You're an eyesore-" Neo looked at him with a confused look. "Th-that's not what I meant! I mean that you're unique and I would definitely remember you."
Neo smirked slightly. "Yes. I'm new. My name is Neo." She told him and to her very own surprise, she didn't stutter.
"I'm Rudy. Maybe I can see you around?" He asked hopefully.
Neo smiled slightly. "Yeah. I would like that." She told him. Rudy's grin widened and his tail curled with excitement. The multi-haired girl then waved and sped to class. The dorky faunus ended up lifting her mood. She then made it to her next class, home ec. The room had four tables, one girl was already in the classroom. She had tangerine hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a lot of pink. She was humming to herself and scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Good morning Ms. Torchwick." Neo turned to look at woman from earlier.
"M-Mrs-"
"Mrs. Goodwitch. Are things improving on your first day?" The tall blonde pushed her glasses further up the bridge of her nose.
"A-alright. It's slowly improving." She told her. "W-where am I sitting?" She asked still intimidated by the older woman's stare.
"Fourth table the seat closest to my desk." Neo nodded and headed toward the table. She set her stuff down and attempted to put the two textbooks into her bag. Students were filing in. She waited for the chatter to die before looking up at Mrs. Goodwitch.
"Today we have a new student joining us. Give Ms. Torchwick a good welcome." Neo knew she owed this woman for skipping her giving a self introduction. "Now as for today, you will be reviewing the recipe to making-"
Neo noticed something in her peripheral vision. A familiar face was trying to catch her attention. She smiled as Rudy was waving with at her. She tried to put her attention on Glynda but it was proven difficult with Rudy mocking Mrs. Goodwitch. The multi haired girl bit the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing. A white haired girl next to him smacked him on the arm to get him to stop.
"Now spend the rest of the class reviewing the recipe and figuring out who your cooking stations." Mrs. Goodwitch then strolled over to her desk and started doing paperwork. Neo then looked at her group.
"Hi there. I'm Pyrrha." Neo turned at the redhead next to her.
"Pyrrha Nikos. Th-the girl who is Olympics bound for her track and field abilities." Neo smiled shyly. "I-I've heard of you. I-I admire y-your talent." She told her quietly.
The much taller girl flushed a red that could rival her hair. "You're to sweet."
"YOU IMBECILE!"
Neo and Pyrrha turned to see the white haired girl standing and quite flustered. Rudy was holding his tail close to his chest.
"I'M SORRY! I WAS DISTRACTED!" Rudy then looked around and made eye contact with Neo. He gave his goofy grin. Maybe this class would be her favorite class.
BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM! Yes I made Rudy a little flirt but I think it'll be cute. Maybe Rudy and Neo can have a little thing. Who knows! Anyway, before there is confusion, Rudy is a Red Panda faunus and his tail is really long and fluffy. Also, if you couldn't tell his emotions dictate the tail's movement.
