Begining of the classes
If there was one thing that Ruby wanted to do at that exact moment, was vanish. Despite the university of Beacon being new to her, the quantity of young people reunited was something that she never had witnessed in her life. Young men of all kinds of types, tall, short, beautiful and ugly, also woman, well, with the same kind of variations, walked to one place to another very happily while talked about random things.
"Oh my god, that´s a lot of people!" She exclaimed while tried to hide under the hood that her cape had.
"Ruby, this is the university, you door to the adult life, what you expected!?" Weiss retorted "And take off that cape, this is not a cosplay event!"
"This is my style, i will not take of my cape off!"
"Ruby, you are embarrassing us!" Exclaimed the blond with platinum hair.
"Actually, you are the one making a scene Weiss." Blake commented with her monotone tone.
"Quiet! Yang, help me put some sense into your sister!"
"Sorry Elsa, but when Rubaby act like that, all you can do is let her make some mess and after that you say 'I told you so' " Said Yang while shrugged her shoulders.
Giving up of trying to taking out Ruby cape, Weiss finaly said:
"Urgh, you all are insufferable and classless! Until lunch time!"
She commented while walked around with her heels making some noise on the concrete with her preppy way of being.
"I would called her "Ice queen", but i don´t want to give her any reason to be queen of anything." Said Blake with a brief smile, bursting out the laughter of Ruby and Yang "So, until lunch time?"
Both Yang and Ruby responded in unison:
"Till."
Well, controlling a little of her anxiety, but still showing it, Ruby walked through the corridors of the university as she was looking through the number of the rooms. In crescent order, the numbers that stayed at the top of the door were approaching of what she had at the schedule of the classes, and when she finally found the room that she was searching she enter quickly in the room and went straight tinto the back chairs. Back of the room, great, this way i´ll be quiet in my place and no one will notice me! she tought while went to chair, but for her misfortune, the chair was already occupied.
Sinting on what should be your corner of "non attention", was a girl with a hair of carrot color, with freckles and a light green eyes. She was sitting with her legs togheter and was taking notes and also doing some drawn in her copybook. Looking superficially, Ruby saw that she was drawing and girl, very similar with her own silhouette, carrying sword´s and screaming in onomatopeia, 'i´m combat ready!'
"Wow, your draws are cool!"Said Ruby very excited.
The girl, now with her concentration broken, turn herself towards Ruby and embarrassed try to hide her draws.
"Thank you, i guess..." She said.
"I also have some draws, they aren´t so cool as yours, but still!" Sitting down in the chair at her side, Ruby picked up her notebook and show it the draw of a girl with red clothes carrying a scythe that destroyed creatures very similar to werewolf's—. "Cool, isn´t?"
"Yes, they are cool." Said the young while smiling "She looks like you."
"Well, it´s because she is me, or at least, an version of mine that i wanted to be, a heroine all like schua, sash, huyaaaa! Get it?" She said embarrassed after doing all this ninja movements "Er...my name is Ruby Rose, what is your's?"
Being more opened to Ruby, the girl in question extended her hand and said:
"Penny Polendina."
"Wait, Polendina of..."
"Yes, my father is the professor of calculus discipline. And he just arrived." She commented while signaled with the movement of her face to the door where a lot of people passed through it, students, and the professor included, with his wheelchair.
"Wow, you father is... "
"Yes, he is physically handicapped. And yes, he´s appearance is completely different from mine, but i assure you, he is my father." She said with a tone of voice a little more serious, but at saying this, she noticed that she had being rude with Ruby and said "I'm sorry, is that i always get bombed with the same questions, and answering it always freaks me out. In a very bad way".
"It´s okay, i get it this vibe of socially awkward. But well, the class will start soon. Can i sit at your side?"
"Of course!"
Both stayed there, and Ruby, lively, dragged her chair to be more close at Penny, which smiled happily while shared the space with her new colleague, or better, friend.
Weiss could be demanding, and even a complaining person, but she wasn´t ungrateful. It only had pass three days since she had arrived in Austin, and despite the problems to adapt to this American way of life, she was never had being so happy. She was finally living the life of the common young girl that only the girl´s in the movies, that she watched with Winter, lived.
Hunf, damnit sunburns! I don´t want see the tomato i´ll become one when i finally go to the beach. Beach, it is another place that she never had meet. I mean, she aready traveled to some countries of Mediterranean like Greece and Italy, but all of travels was always toward some reserved place and she never had stopped to take a sea bath. Will she make it this time? And with friends?
Think in the idea made the heiress of the Schenee sketch a smile from the corner of the mouth, which in turn, quickly fell apart when her skin got irritated and she needed to scratch. Bathroom, here we go one more time. Getting there, she opened her handbag, took out the cream and rubbed in her arms and face. Finishing taking care of herself, she retouched the makeup for the red of her skin don´t show it much, passed the lipstick and finally looked at the watch.
"Was zur Hölle, it´s 8:15 already!" Stuffing everything at her handbag, she ran towards the classroom, and as she saw the corridors empty, she became more apprehensive.
Finally arriving at the classroom of economic theory, she not only saw all the students staring at her, but also, the professor of the discipline looking towards her with a very not good expression..
"Sorry." And with this affirmation, Weiss walked shrunken to sit in one of the seats.
Finally getting back the attention of the class with a snap of fingers, the teacher, a young woman with the hair so beige that she couldn´t even call blond, but still, with skinny body and very pretty face with blue eyes that bordered on violet spoked:
"Well, since everyone are here, why not starting with the class talking about the discipline and the topics that it will discuss?" She commented while picked some books, and among them, the famous "The communist manifesto" and "The wealth of the nation" and said "Well, it´s not a surprise that we will spend the rest of the semester debating both of principal theories, and of course, reading the other authors that came with posterior economic schools, but in short, we still going to keep questioning the current dichotomy. Bourgeois and proletariat. The free market against the authority of the state. Both ideological entities that at every four years split the country between republicans and democrats and that make the Twitter a area so toxic that made think let the 'boludos' camping at Dust II had a chance in a date with my mom, only for her to have some place to hide in South America.
Weiss tought the comment was weird, because she simply didn´t understand what she meaning, and the few girls that was at the class seemed they also didn´t understand to, but, the majority of the boys laugh like it was something funny.
"Anyway, bad comments apart, my name is Robyn Hill, i'am your teacher of economic theory and some other disciplines that you will all see along of your course. So, try to make some dots with me, because i can ease or complicate you life here." Staring at Weiss with almost a predatory eye, Robyn continues "Also do not come late the next time, i don´t give absences and warnings, but i like to make my students writing a lot. Especially those who are used to a ease life. But enough with cheap chat, let´s begin the class, yes?"
Taking the projection equipment's, and finishing up assembling, showed the image of some very wealth business man like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and specifically, her father, Jacques Schenee.
"We will analyze the marxism critic, and what better way of study it if not they targets and what were the reasons they gived to being criticized."
Weiss sighing tired before of what happened, already on her first day of class she already had someone teasing her, and worst of all, this person was her teacher. What big arch-enemy Weiss had arranged.
Blake, even if not acted like Ruby, felt the same feeling of apprehension. Despite the support that Ozpin gave to her to join the university, and even have Yang as emotional support, she couldn´t stop imagine that behind every look that stared at her of random people could say, suddenly, "bandit" and all perspective to restart her life could go down the drain.
While she looked the number of the room that she would study, she noticed that her cellphone was vibrating, and taking it to read the notifications, she noticed that was a message of Ozpin.
Ozpin: I received news from my contacts. Unfortunately, they didn´t found Adam´s body and neither of his men. The whole crime scene was cleaned in a very professional way, and if it wasn´t by the bullet marks on the shed walls, the forensics experts would had said that none shooting happened at that place. I´m sorry.
Seeing that message, Blake couldn´t stop being sad because if there was one truth on her life, it´s that she couldn´t restart if she couldn´t at least give her farewells to your, well, ex-fiancé.
Blake: Thanks for the news Ozpin, and one more time, thanks for all the rest.
Ozpin: You are welcome, and besides, there something that i also want to tell you, or better, to ask...
Blake: So?
Ozpin: You don´t think it´s time to you call your parents?
And with that question, Blake froze, because she noticed that the same way she couldn´t move forward in life without veil Adam´s body, she also couldn´t restart your life without reconnect the bonds with her family.
Blake: I'am not ready to see them.
Ozpin: It´s alright child, take your time. And i already know about the situation of your father, i spoked with a very closed friend to take a look at it. I´m give you my word Blake, when you reunite with your family, you all going to have a fresh start. For while, don´t get late t you class, and have a good day.
And with this message, Blake turn off her phone and stayed at the entrance of arts room, Where she not only saw tables and computers ready for students of digital art to work, but also, she saw some art materials like plaster blocks and canvas ready to be used. Despite the situation that made her get there, one thing was certain, she was happy with what she was doing right now.
"Wow Ren, oh my God, this is so gooood~"
With the cheeks a little red, Ren sighing while finished to working out the muscle tension´s on Yang´s shoulders and said:
"Yang, in the name of decorum and our collegue boys, stop moaning." He commented as he finished to execute the 'massage' that his professor had teach to him after passed for almost two hours explaining the anatomy of the muscles that connected shoulder and neck.
"Sorry, it can´t be avoided. Now i understand why Nora is so possessive with you. You are a perfect specimen of husband material." She responded with her left shoulder more relaxed.
"We are not together, together." Ren responded still with her cheek´s red while treated to work with the tensions on her right shoulder.
"This is bullshit, and you know it, right?"
"I grew with her Yang. I know when to give the next step, IF i want to give the next step. Different from you, that..." Squeezing the exact points of tensions on the right shoulder of the blond, Yang let out a such loud moan that all of boys on that class stopped to watch her "...exaggerate in everything you do. I know you want to defeat this Pyrrha girl, but it´s not bursting your shoulder in the training like the one you made yesterday, that you will get it. You also need to rest."
And with this comment, Yang that was all excited and provocative gived space to a more serious and dismayed semblance and respond.
"Ren, i have to training hard. If i don´t win against her in the next fight, i´m fucked."
Sighing heavily, he said:
"Just don´t exaggerate more than the normal, ok? You and Nora are the same when the thing is extrapolating the limits of your bodies, and both like to complaining saying that the consequences are unfair."
Still crestfallen, Yang switched positions with Ren being now the one doing the massage. But, seeing that she now had the power in her hands, she smiled in a devilish way and said:
"I didn´t pay attention to the matter right, so i can squeeze some places with more strength that i should, you know?"
Being in cold sweat as the blond spoke, Ren said:
"Yang, we know that you like to play the stereotype of the dumb blond, but we both you are not one of those."
"Am i not?" She said with still a smile on her face.
"I promise to make you a pack of lunch with balanced food like Nora´s. That help´s you refresh your memories?" Said Ren in a defeated tone.
"Now we are talking.~"
Finishing the class of calculus, the students took their backpacks and already went out to the exit, with exception of Ruby and Penny, that went next to the professor who finished fiddling with the laptop. The man in question was a man with dark skin and beard very White. He recieved the two girls that were approaching with a wide smile.
"Hello young one, any doubts with the content of the class?"
"YES!" Ruby exclaimed "I never felt so, so, dumb! Integrals? Derivatives? I barely saw logarithms in school and now i have to deal with that in the first day of class?"
"Hahaha, but still you were capable of doing an excellent project of scholarship out of war materials. You are a smart girl Ruby Rose."
"Wait, do you know it?...How, i mean? How..."
"I supervised myself the proposal of your project, and i insisted that the general Ironwood sponsored your scholarship in the course. It´s not every day that appears a interested person in engineering by pure love, independent of which engineering it is. But, introducing myself personally, my name is Pietro Polendina. I anxious to see us work together." He commented with a small smile.
"Equally." Ruby said, also smiling.
Finishing the presentations, Pietro turn himself to Penny and said:
"My little girl, we have to go. Your flying is schedule to leave at 2:00pm and we cannot risk ourselves to get trapped in the traffic."
"Yes, father."
"But already!?" Ruby said as she made a pout face "She is the first friend that i do here besides my BFF, can´t we lunch togheter?"
Even with a smiling expression, Pietro couldn´t let stop of expressing the heaviness in his voice and said:
"I´m afraid not, Ruby. Penny, since she was little, had a delicate health condition. The fact that she is stooding here, it is thanks by the treatment that she had done along the years. Treatment that she never got absence in any single day."
Turning to see Penny, Ruby saw her pull the colar of her shirt and showing a little just bellow your collarbone a strange volume that stood out beneath your skin forming a little quadricular deformity.
"Since i was little i had a degenerative heart disease, if wasn´t by the treatment, and by my regimented exercise and diet routine, it would very likely that i didn´t passed of my ten years."
"Oh, i´m sorry, i didn´t know it." Ruby commented, a little sad.
"We just met now, you couldn´t know it." She commented while played with her fingers "But still you call me friend...i am really your friend?"
With a Sweet smile, Ruby took Penny´s hand with yours and said:
"Sure!"
And giving Ruby a bear hug, without caring with the device that was stuck in your chest, Penny responded:
"Thank you."
Both walked away from the hug, and soon Ruby asked:
"Well, see you tomorrow then?"
"I´m afraid not." Penny responded, a little sad "As my father said, i have to take a flight, i will stay in Huston for a while. Probably i will be back only the next week, but after that, i will attend regular classes like any other student."
"So until next week then, until there, let´s exchange menssages!" Ruby exclaimed very happily while tooked her phone.
After both exchange numbers, they then said goodbye.
"Bye, Ruby!"
"Bye, Penny!"
"Who that bought curriculum teacher think she is!?" Weiss exclaimed while cut your steak with so much strength that would seemed that she wanted to cut the plate "She started the class dropping a videogame joke to get the attention of the boys, and after that, she said that she would start debate about Marx and Adam Smith, but, she passed almost the whole class vomiting the speech that the capitalism is bad, and uses the company of my family as example, a company that one day will be MINE! This is unacceptable! I never thought that i would agree with my father, but he was right about on thing. There's only damn liberal´s in current universities!
"Jesus, what had bite you?" Yang asked with a terrified face after see Weiss expressing herself.
"Probably the ghost of the lack of empathy for the proletariat." Blake said with a very not good look in her face.
"Well, know that i very well kntwrtrdjfe..."
Before she could continue, Ruby took off a cookie from the package and put in Weiss mouth, that had to shut or she would get choke with the food.
"What was that your dolt!?" She retorted.
"You always complaining Weiss, i said that i made a new friend and you didn´t listen anything i said! How do you want me to listen to you, when you don´t even care about anything i had said!?" Ruby commented in very sensate way, which surprised all the girls in the table.
"She is right ice queen." Said Yang shrugging her shoulders.
Blake nodded in agreement
"Fine, sorry about my impulsive behavior, it´s just...urgh, my family may have problems, but, they are not this demons that the media are selling. We are just normal people, with normal problems." Commented the heiress crestfallen which made the mood of the table go down.
"A normal family doesn´t have billions in the bank count. And even least the influence to change peoples lives." Said Blake with a serious look.
"I know." Said Weiss "Isn´t because of this that i am here, to live this fantasy life of normal people before went back to my crystal palace?"
Hugging the girl with much strengh, Ruby said in a very smilling way:
"You surely can bet BFF! And believe it, this little life will be the most coolest thing you'll ever done, like, forever!"
Despite the protest that almost expressed in automatic way, Weiss managed to hold her retorts and returned Ruby´s hug with a squeeze of your hand, and also respond in the most warm way that she managed.
"It´s better be, I didn´t pass five years of my life begging for this freedom to my dad just to get angry at some communist teacher."
The lady's look at each other's and laugh. Even Blake with all her emotional baggage and thousand reasons to hate the surname of Weiss couldn´t let have any empathy towards her and even find some joy in her as a friend, despite her self-absorbed behavior.
"And believe Young lady, she will no be!"
The four turning to see the owner of the voice, saw a young small woman with redhaired in a orange tone with a blue look in her eye that was so vivid that transpired energy in al her essence. She was accompanied by Jaune and Ren that came at her side like two good 'bodyguard´s'
"Sup Nora, what´s the news!?" Asked Yang to her partner of training, also very joyful.
"After asking, better, begging, to our great Good Witch, beat the drums, tararatararatararatarara…we finally got permission to put a big speaker in the entreace of the dorm AND ALSO call a dj to play at our party!
"You are lying!" Said Yang in disbelief.
"And i'am a woman of lies? Of course not! Coco even spoke with some guys of the republic of Texas University. The boys of Vacuo will come with everything!" She spoke very happily.
"Any handsome boy?" Asked Yang with a very naughty look.
"Yang!" Exclaimed Ruby, all blushed.
"Rubaby, i know you are too young for this, but particulary, i'm ready to taste the whole menu."
"Eww! What papa would say if he knews that you would walk around rubbing yourself with every boy you saw!?"
"He will not know because you will n-o-t t-e-l-l-i-n-g h-i-m!" Said Yang while spelled each word
"I demand bribery!" Said Ruby while cross her arms.
"On month without act like the overprotector sister!" Said the blond while she raised her hand in a sign of 'boy-scout' vow.
"Two months!" Exclamed Ruby.
"On month! Take or leave."
"Done!"
And after that, both sisters shake their hands.
Seeing this interaction, everyone that was at the table, including the three new ones that had just sat down, just laugh.
"It will not be only the boys, right!?" Asked Blake curious.
"Interessed in girls to!? You should talk with Coco, you know" Spoke Nora in a laugh tone.
"What? No, it´s just, urgh…our dorm not only have girls" Said Blake while signaled with the look to Jaune and to Ren "I thought that both of you would be excited."
"And we are" Said Ren, the most quietly of both, for girls surprise "Coco even said that some exchange girls would appear in the party"
Looking with a face not very happy, Nora turn herself to Ren with a smile so plastic that everyone at the table didn´t even needed to pay attention to see that she wasn´t happy with the excitement of the Asian boy.
"Any specific reason to be so…animated?"
"Yes. Meet new people is always something good" he said in a solene tone.
"And those people need to use skirt?" Asked Nora with a voice a little more serious, wich for someone like her, wasn´t a good sign.
Sighing heavily, knowing exactly why Nora was behaving that way, Ren said:
"Perhaps, but i feel that i will not give too much attention to them. I will need to spoiled a certain person with a mountain of pancakes to not have my legs bronken while i sleep."
"Aww Ren, you don´t have to act like that, I will not broke you legs because we are not together, like, together together, you know?~"
"You are a little box of surprises Nora, i don´t want to risk myself."
And with this coment, everyone laughs again, and soon, Yang made everyone turn their attention to the other guy with the following question:
"And you vomit boy, which girl will be the lucky one that will be the target of your poems?"
"An snow angel that in in this warm place, had her skin so red that made me want to give her an embrace" Said Jaune hypnotized by Weiss beauty, which in that moment, let piece of her mashed potatoes fall from her plate.
Turn to the young one that had catch Jaune attention, everyone noticed that Weiss really had become stunned by the blonde words, but, if she had any intention to respond to the boys feelings, she doesn´t showed.
"I bet you said this to everyone" And with a indifferent look, she finished to eat and get up "My class start in ten minutes. See you all in the dorm."
And with this leave, everyone take the leave to gets up and do anything, except Jaune, which bury his face in the table dead by shame.
"10 by the courage. 0 by the shame" Said Yang while leave with the girls "See you later guys".
"Okay!" Said Ren and Nora in unison, even Jaune, despite his now low self stem.
Yeah Jaune, don´t put the charriot in front of the horses. As i said in the beginig, until next week for the next chapter.
