the wheels of life

chapter 28

Last time

Ruby: You're right. My mistake. But let me switch the topic to you. How was beacon?

Now

*We see Penny and Blake on a car. Ruby insisted that Penny drive her home since it was too late to walk. So we saw them in a car together, they didn't speak. Didn't even look at each other. Neither of them wanted to be here, but one smile from Ruby made them both buckle under and agree to her demands. Penny parked her car and finally looked at Blake*

Penny: ok. We're here. Get out of my car

Blake: Thank you for the ride. Tell Ruby I appreciate her to

*Blake said, just trying to be polite, and show some common courtesy, as she got out of the car. Once, Penny saw her out of the car. She frowned deeply and spoke*

Penny: You know what my momma would really appreciate? You leaving her alone. Since I know you are the reasons she's been having more nightmares than before

Blake:....and with that depressing image, I'm out

*Blake said with an already sad sigh. As she went inside her apartment complex, she climbed the stairs. Blake opened the door to her home, and she saw her teammates looking at her, yang being the first to speak up*

Yang: There you are. What the fuck Blake? We've been calling you, and you never picked up

Blake: oh. Yeah. Sorry about that. I got distracted, just...watching ruby work

*Blake said, not even looking a little ashamed, quite the opposite, the cat in her was happy. She had ruby all to herself all day long.*

Ilia: did she finish Penny's body?

Blake: she did. So how was jaune and the others?

*Blake asked, making them all groan. Seems like Blake was the only one who had a good day. Weiss scoffed after she finished groaning. And crossed her arms, extremely miffed*

Weiss: horrendous. As always the man can't take a hint. That he's got an equipment that I'm not looking to use. And Pyrrha is still trying to get the stupid boy to notice her. Honestly, I don't know what she sees in him

Blake: I don't know what ilia sees in you, but you don't see me questioning it

*Blake said with a small smirk, since that statement caused a fury of reaction, a blush from Weiss. A glare from yang, directed at Weiss. And a blushing glare from ilia, directed at Blake*

Ilia: fuck you.

Weiss: I share her sentiments

*Weiss grumbled, as she moved herself, to be farther away from ilia. To protect herself from the wrath of her overprotective sister*

Blake: but I do agree. Pyrrha needs to find someone else. Since when he finally gives up, he'll end up with her. Out of pity. Not out of love.... Hopefully I don't fall on the same fate with ruby....

*Blake said, mumbling the last part. And since no one in the room had super hearing, like herself and to a lesser extent ruby, no one heard that last sentence. So the conversation continued *

Yang: only time will tell. Anyhow. We told everyone that you found a new book, and we couldn't drag you out of the room

Blake: so the default lie, gotcha.

*Blake said casually, as she walked over to her friends, and sat down on the available chair. Her small smile, never leaving her face*

Yang: so. What did you and ruby do?
