Jaune's POV
As Pyrrha takes my arm, Ren and Nora come around the corner, both dressed nicely.
"Ready to go?" I ask. Ren nods, and we head down to the banquet hall. It is a large room with ornate decorations on the walls. We take our seats at a table near team RWBY. I wave at Ruby, turn around, and pull a chair out for Pyrrha. She smiles at me, thanking me. I walk around and sit across from her.
Professor Ozpin greets everyone, and the waiters come around with menus. I choose my food, and so does everyone else. I sneak a few peeks at Pyrrha, and finally she looks back.
"So Jaune, what do you think of Beacon?" She asks, moving her napkin around nervously.
"It's really cool. How about you?" I respond.
"Well, it is indeed very nice. The training room is amazing, and I can't wait for team training to begin." After she says that, the music starts to play, and people go to dance. I see movement out if the corner of my eye. Its Cardin.
He strolls over to where Pyrrha is sitting, and offers his hand. "May I have this dance?" He asks. She looks over at me, and I nod. Standing up, Pyrrha says, "I'll be back in a minute. OK?"
"OK."
Cardin looks over his shoulder and scowls at me. I wince, and turn back around. Ruby comes up and pulls out a chair. "Hey Jaune. Are you OK?"
"Not really." I respond. She gives me a worried look.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, I was going to dance with Pyrrha, but Cardin asked her to dance, and I think she likes him and-"
"Woah, woah, woah. Calm down Juane. It will be fine. Maybe she will come back and you can dance with her then!" Ruby picks up her drink, milk. "To the socially awkward!" I laugh, and lift my drink as well.
After the song, Pyrrha comes back.
"Having fun?" I ask her.
"Not really. I didn't want to dance with Cardin, but I didn't want to hurt him either." She replies. I feel a little hope inside my chest. A few songs pass, and finally, the last song comes on, a slow one. I stand up nervously and turn to her.
"W-would you, um..."
"Let's go." Pyrrha says, and stands up, pulling me to the dance floor. I put my hands on her waist, and her arms around my neck. We sway back and forth to the music, gazing into each other's eyes the whole time. As the song ends, I lean in, and Pyrrha's lips meet mine.
