Silver Belladonna (Jaune Arc x oc)

6 - "it's more for me than it is you"

Timeskip
I am sick of school, I know, I've already said that but now I really mean it, not that I didn't mean it before; Argh you get the idea.

It's not been long since we started school, what two weeks but I'm sick of lessons and I'm sick of not having any space, I mean I'm sharing a room with three other people you never get a break, trust me. Don't get me wrong I get along with all three of them, Ash is my best friend already, surprising since I don't get along with a lot of people unless there my family, he's funny and kind though he can be very flirty but I let that slide. Corals a complete gossip, she seems to know everything and it's only been two weeks and she is very determined to be the best huntress ever.
Lavender is the one I struggle with; she's very girly and chatty which I am not, we have basically nothing in common which makes it awkward when it's just the two of us.
I have become somewhat civil with Blake's team mates. And I've started to get to know team JNPR a bit but I struggle to keep up with all of them so I tend to tune them out at times to get a break.

Ouch!

I flinch as I watch Jaune hit the floor with a visible thud.

"....Mr Arc please refer to your scroll during combat that way you'll know when you need to change to a more, defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be eaten by a beowolf would we?"
"Speak for yourself" I hear Cardin mutter
"Remember students the Vytal festival is only a few months away, other students will soon be arriving in Vale, only the best will be entered and you will be representing Beacon" Goodwitch finally finishes her lecture and we are allowed to leave for lunch.

Nora, who I'm still not sure what to make of, starts telling us all about some recurring dream she keeps having about selling Beowolf coats or something, obviously I wasn't really listening and I'm at the bottom of the table with Jaune, Phyrra and my team who seem to be discussing something but again I had tuned everyone out just wanting some peace.

However my peace is ruined when we all become aware of a commotion, we see Cardin pulling on Velvet's ears, I shake my head disgusted.
"I can't stand people like him" Phyrra scowls
"He's not the only one" my sister adds
"It must be hard being a faunas" Blondie comments causing me and Blake to share a look as we wordlessly agree with her comment.
Jaune gets up and leaves clearly wanting to be alone but I decide to follow him, less to check he's okay and more to get away from sitting with so many people.

"Hey Jaune wait up!" I shout down the hall, he stops and waits for me
"Hey Silver erm I'm fine you can go back" he awkwardly rubs his neck
"Yeah trust me it's more for me than it is you" I roll my eyes as I fall into step with him, figured it would look less rude to leave with him than going on my own not that I tell him that
"What do you mean?" He asks and I sigh
"You don't need to make small talk you know" I inform him or more like demand but he doesn't get the hint
"What, do we just walk in an awkward silence?"
"Works for me" comes my simple straight to the point answer
"You don't like me do you?" He asks hesitantly and I release a big, long winded sigh
"I don't know you, besides I don't like a lot of people so I wouldn't take it personally" I explain bored
"Why not? My mum always says strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" I roll my eyes at the sentiment
"She's not living in the real world" I walk on ahead ignoring his calls, they're the people who are killed in a second flat because they trusted the wrong people.

Eventually it is time for history, goody. I sit next to Ash at the back of class listening to our teacher Professor Oobleck speak at a rapid speed, I'm shocked I'm keeping up.

They are talking about the Faunas Rights Revolution, this revolution was when humans tried to force us onto the small continent of Menageri and succeeded.

"Now, while this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Have any of you been discriminated against due to your Faunas heritage?" I notice Velvet raise her hand, I wish I could to. "Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! I mean just look at what happened to the white fang. Now can any of you young scholars tell me what many theorists believe was the turning point in the third year of the war?"
"The battle of Fort castle" Schnee answers 
"does anyone know of the advantage the Faunas had over the humans?"
We can see better in the dark
"Hey!" Jaune speaks up, I don't think he was meaning to answer the question
"mr Arc finally contributing to class now what is the answer?"

"The answer to the question about what advantage the faunas had over that guys stuff is..." i let out a small cough to get his attention and I try to mime night vision but Jaune merely shouts "binoculars" I drop my hands and can't help but chuckle, he said it with such confidence
"Mr Winchester perhaps you can shed some light on the subject and give us the answer"
"Well I don't know much about animals but..." arghhh the temptation to hit him is seriously growing
"Your not the most open-minded individual are you Cardin?" Phyrra speaks up
"You got a problem....!"
"No I have the answer, night vision, Faunas are known to have almost perfect sight in the dark"
True
"The humans made the mistake of ambushing the faunas at night, maybe if they payed attention in class they wouldn't have made that mistake" Blake comments causing me to snort at the look on Cardin's face, Cardin goes to stand but Oobleck just tells him to sit down
"May I see you Mr Winchester and Mr Arc after class"

The rest of us leave and I join my sister
"That was brilliant" she shrugs nonchalantly
"Was just the truth" we both laugh as we head down the hall followed by her team and mine.

Sorry this has taken so long but I've been really busy

I hope you enjoyed this chapter

Happy reading
