the scholarships (BRANCE) (RINNEY)

new friends and a non-date date

Bruce's eyes snapped open to the sound of his ringtone echoing loudly around the whole room. He tiredly reached over and looked to see what it was. As he read his new notifications, he saw that Amy had been face timing him multiple times. He quickly sat up and answered.

"What happened? Are you ok?" Bruce questioned. Worry taking over him. Amy pulled a face.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Bruce sighed in relief to hear she wasn't in any danger. He rubbed his temples.

"You've called me like ten times. I thought you were in trouble or something." She let out a small laugh.

"Nice to know you care." Bruce rolled his eyes. Of course, he cared. She was his little sister. If anything bad ever happened to her, Bruce would blame himself. "I was only calling because it's mega weird not talking to you. How's the posh life?" She asked curiously.

"Well, I've only been here one day, but it's not horrific, but it ain't so nice ever." Bruce answered. "I have today and Wednesdays off, so after baseball, I can do anything I want today." Amy nodded, making a mental note of when she could text him.

"What about your roommate? Is he hot?" She smirked, causing Bruce to scoff. He looked up from his phone to look at Vance. He was currently sitting crossed legged on his bed with a sketchbook resting on his leg. He had headphones on and was slightly bopping his head. He wouldn't be able to hear what they were talking about.

"Is that all you care about?" Amy nodded her head with a smile.

"Is he?" She pushed, wanting an answer. Bruce stayed silent, not knowing how to reply. "He totally is! Show me, show me!" She pleaded.

"I'm not going to film him for you, weirdo."

"Come on! Just flip the camera!" Bruce sighed as he gave in, knowing Amy wouldn't shut up about it until he did. Amy squinted as she analysed Vance's features. Bruce flipped the camera back over, raising an eyebrow and giving Amy a look that basically said, 'Happy?'. She hummed. "He kind of looks like a male version of Charlotte." Bruce winced at the sudden mention of her name.

"Please don't say that name near me." Amy tilted her head in confusion.

"Why? Did she break up with you?" Bruce nodded slowly. "What a bitch!" Bruce halfed smiled. His eyes moved to the notification that popped up on his phone. It was a text from Robin telling him to hurry up for breakfast.

"I have to go. Talk soon." He announced quickly, his finger hovering over the end call button.

"Ok. But one thing before you leave!" She said, making Bruce pause. "I miss you and also say hi to your roommate for me." Before Bruce could say anything, she ended the call. He shook his head and laughed slightly. His sister was an idiot.

Bruce forced himself off his bed and got changed into something more presentable than pj's but still casual. He stuffed his phone in his pocket and walked out the dorm.

He stopped in his tracks before reaching a corner as he heard some grunting and giggles. He peaked his head to see what was happening. He saw a group of girls laughing and recording as one of them was pushing around another girl. They had her phone aswell.

"Give it back!" The girl tried to grab her phone back, but the other snatched it away.

"Beg for it bitch." The people recording laughed even more. The girl stared up at her.

"I've never even done anything to you! What's your problem?"

"You're pathetic." The girl said. Her words rolling of her tongue like bullets. Without thinking, Bruce stepped in.
