Reapers: Uprising

Ch 2: the knight

Jaune POV:

School hours was over for the week, but I still can't stop feel pathetic. Combat class I still get beaten by Cardin as everyone make jokes about me, including Yang and Weiss as I get knock down by him. My team do what they can to cheer me up, but sadly today was not those day.

My team left me to go do something or at less that what they said, I didn't mind though really, but for some reason....Their words didn't really felt true.

35 minutes earlier

Pyrrha:"Jaune...we're going to leave to Vale and be back later."

Jaune:"Wait, you guys are leaving? You guys want me to come with?"

Pyrrha:"Aaahnnnnoooo that won't be necessary."

I stop myself before I put on my shoes and look at her with Nora and Ren.

Jaune:"Why not?"

Nora:"It nothing big to be honest. We just going to do something boring!"

Ren:"We just going to check on something in our account, nothing serious."

Jaune:"That sounds pretty serious to me. You guys sure you don't want me to join? I actually know something about account management."

Ren:(chuckles)"That won't be necessary, but we like the jester."

Nora:"Beside, do you still have the homework that Oobleck gave you?"

Jaune:"Y-yeah, but-"

Nora:"SEE! We love you and care for you, butweneedtonow Bye.~"

SLAM!

They left in a.....strange and rude kinda of way. They definitely didn't want me to go with them, but why? Dr.Oobleck homework was already done thank to Velvet this afternoon and so with my other assignments. I don't really feel like gaming nor reading my comics books when I'm basically alone from that.

Jaune:(sigh)"Whatever I guess."

Maybe they didn't mean to or something, but they definitely are hidden something. Not wanting to dwell to much on it I just simply work on the team combo attacks, then maybe some shut-eye. Five minutes later mumble argument from my door as I turn from my desk to look.

Jaune:'What the hell is going on with everyone?'

I got up to walk to the door and lean to it to try make word of this noise. It sounds like Ruby and her team, but it sound like they're fighting.

Weiss:"Ruby Hush! You say your not a child, but yet you screaming like one. Grow up! Do that, then maybe I reconsider taking you seriously as my leader."

My eyes widen after hearing what Weiss and it shock me to my core, but then I heard Ruby.

Ruby:"Fine...you guys can go."

I couldn't help, but feel angry at Weiss after what she said to Ruby. The same Ruby who help her pass the initiation, the same girl who have to deal with the leadership class with me, the one who keep having to wake them up in morning for school, and THIS was her thanks she got!?

I stop my thoughts when I hear their footsteps and held my breath. I don't hear them away, but heard the third voice.

Yang:"Don't be sad sis, if you like I'll bring you new game and cookies."

Sh.......SHE REALLY TALKING TO RUBY LIKE THAT!!!! She treating her like a actual kid! She have no right to do that her no matter how old she is. I want to step out there to yell at Yang, but she walk away really quick while slamming the door. I can only think what Ruby could be feeling right now probably miserable beyond then anything.

Jaune:'it be better to let her cool down a bit before trying to talk to her in this state of mind.'

I let my door open to watch incase Ruby leave the room. I have experience like this from my sisters. It'll be better to them vet this out alone, then talk to them when all that emotions and energy are gone. I had black eye, was being yell at, and just down right ignore for days when I try helping them at that state. So here I am right now, waiting for any sighs.

Jaune:'If you don't leave that room in thirty minutes, then I talk to you.'

10 minutes later

Ruby hasn't got out, but I'm still willing to wait. As the time I went to the dormitory kitchen to cookies and water for her. Two reason why I have these things, the cookies are to put her at ease and the water is for her rehydrate after the amount crying she did.

20 minutes later

Still haven't gone out of the room, but I'm still patient to wait for her. I look around my room to search what else I need to cheer her up and thankfully I still have my DVD player that haven't been setup yet. I have different type of game in my collection, but one can only goes in my head....movies!

Jaune:'They should be a movie that she love.'

30 minutes later

Jaune:'Ok, 30 minutes is up. Just go Jaune she need a friend right now.'

I begun to walk out of my room with the stuff in the bag and headed to the door across mind.

Jaune:'Don't over thinking, comfort her. She need it right now.'

Stopping at the door in front of it, then I knock. It weird through. Why am I getting so nervous about? I do this a lot with my sisters, so why?

Knock Knock Knock

Jaune:"Hey Ruby? Are you in there?"

Jaune:'Monty Oum Jaune, what was that? You know she still in there. (sigh) just see how you can help her.'

Jaune:"Uhh, hello?"

I heard a dash like wind sound from the other side and then the door open. There she was....Ruby Rose, the girl and the first friend I met in the first day of Beacon. She look pretty mess up, the tear were still there on her face.

Jaune:'I swear those guys need a reality toward themselves.'

Jaune:"Hey..."

Ruby:"Hi..."

Jaune:"Are you ok Ruby?"

Ruby:"Uumm, yeah?"

Jaune:"Are you sure? Because those uh tears mark kinda say otherwise."

Jaune:"...Was it because of the fight you had with your team earlier?"

Jaune:"...If you like....my team is not  here, so."

Jaune:"Can one awkward friend hang out with his equally awkward, but totally cool friend for tonight

Ruby:(chuckle)"...Sure Jaune. One awkward friend to a another."

She step away to let me walk in her room and see it was dark. This happened to one of my sister who was dumped by her asshole of a boyfriend, so I need to give this to her.

Jaune:"Hey Ruby?

She look at me with a wondering look as I held up my DVD player with three movies.

Jaune:"Wanna watch some movies?"

This chapter was supposed to be the one where Ruby and Jaune goes to find their team, but I got carried away with Jaune thought in this, so sorry about that.

But chapter will be Chapter 3: Loyalty vs betrayal
