What if I told you..?

Chapter 1

For any of you who want to know the reason I took down burning Ashes, if you read it, was because I did not like the beginning I had given it and I plan on retrying soon. But here is this. My second of three cannons. I give you, "what if I told you"

Beacon. I've always wanted to go here. But, I'm younger than everyone here. "Ruby!" My sister shouts wrapping her arms around me from behind and lifting me off of the ground. "I'm so glad we are gonna go to Beacon together. How did you get accepted early again?"

"Well set me down first dammit!" I shout. Once I'm on the ground again I turn to look at my sister. I sigh, "Yang, I got accepted early because I kicked Roman Torchwick and his goons asses, remember?" I say exasperated. This is the third time I've explained this to her. "Now will you back up and, I don't know, go talk to your friends or something? I'm not in a mood to converse with you at the moment."

But Yang, being Yang, didn't get the hint. "What? I didn't understand a word you said"

"Ugh, let me put it this way. GO THE FUCK AWAY!" I shout then turn and walk forward till I'm standing in front of the hatch of the airship. Staring at it. Ten seconds later it opens. I walk down the ramp and begin to stroll down the sidewalk and stop in front of the fountain that is about 40 feet away from the front of the academy. I look at the castle like structure that is mostly black but has some red and green mixed in to keep it lively.

I pull my hood over my head and and make for the door but I trip as I take the first step and come down on a bunch of someone's luggage. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ARE YOU BROKEN OR DAMAGED!? What the hell did you even trip on?! Well, I'm talking to you! Answer me!" A whiny somewhat prissy stuck up voice shouts at me.

I look up to see an infuriated looking girl in a white dress with a white bolero that has a snowflake on the back of it. "Great. Now I have resting bitch face here to deal with." "Look, it was an honest accident and I am sorry. I meant no harm. Can we try again? I am Ruby Rose. And you are?"

"You don't know who I am? Have you been under a rock? I am Weiss Schnee! Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. How do you not know?"

"Well I'm sorry that I didn't know! But what I am about to say I am not sorry for." I look pointedly at her, my anger rising. "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!! TO ME YOU JUST ANOTHER PRISSY 'HOLIER THAN THOU' PRICK WHO PROBABLY HAD EVERYTHING HANDED TO HER ON A SILVER GOD DAMNED PLATTER BECAUSE DADDY HAD ALL THE MONEY HE NEEDED PLUS SOME! I tried against my better judgement to prove you were different by starting over and being nice, which is rare for me! So I'm sorry I gave a bitch like you a second chance. But you are no different. Goodbye."

I turn around to walk away but a hand reaches out and grabs my hood. I spin around an slap the offender. I see a flurry of white hair as she goes straight to the floor. I give her a death glare. "You have fucked up now. No one touches my hood." I reach behind me and produce a knife from one of the three behind me. She tries to stand up but I plant my foot on her hip and shove her down again. She lands on her back and I place a knee on her stomach to keep her there. I stab the knife made of obsidian into the dirt next to her head and lean down to her ear on the other side.

"I would suggest that you-" she starts but I cut her off.

"No I suggest that you never touch my cape

ever again or this knife won't be so kind when next you two meet. Got it?" She whimpers ever so slightly.

I stand up and offer her my hand, simultaneously sheathing my knife. She takes my hand and stands. "Now what was so important you had to try to turn me around to tell me?"

"I just wanted to say that I was sorry. I over reacted and I want to know how I can apologize."

"I know just how you can do that." I look at her ivory skinned face. She has a twisted expression of, is that hope?

"Really? How?" She asks. She looks at me. Probably hoping I'll say something. Nice and easy. Yeah right.

"Oh it's easy. Are you sure you want too?" I ask. "Poor girl, probably wants the first person to stand up to her as a friend."

"It is?! Then what is it?!" She asks. "I'll do anything."

"Really? Well you have two options. You can either try to earn my friendship," she starts to smile "Which won't be easy. Or you can drop dead. Right here right now. It's up to you. Right now I could care less." I look down to my scroll. Two minutes till orientation.

"And if I choose neither?" Weiss looks at me thinking that she won. I smile slyly. "What are you smiling about?"

"Well if you refuse then you get to besmirch the name of your company. Do you want that? I don't think so. Now goodbye princess." I turn to leave but a voice from behind me causes me to turn around again. "I'm sorry Weiss, I didn't catch that. Care to repeat?"

"I said fine. How do you want me to earn your friendship?" She looks at me begging for an answer.

"First you could start by never talking to me again, after that I don't care." I turn away for the last time. Weiss tries to say something but I ignore her and keep walking.

* *. *
The assembly hall was huge. Bigger than any I've ever seen. You would think that would make it easier to hide. But there are so many damn people in here. And unfortunately one of them is Yang. "Come on Ruby, talk to me. I just want to have a conversation with my sister." She asks begging me.

"Okay fine. I give. You know what I have to say?" Yang shakes her "GO AWAY!" I storm off. God why can't they just leave me alone.

Someone taps on my shoulder. I look at the disheveled young blonde. He has a black hoodie with chest armor. He also has armor on his shoulders. He rounds off his outfit with a pair of jeans with a rip in the left knee. "Hey. My name is Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, ladies love it."

"Hello Jaune, my name doesn't matter as I could care less that you are here. Now please go away."

As I say that I can see his shoulders sag and his head falls down in defeat. He shudders as he tries to hold in his tears. The auditorium is larger than I thought any one room should be. He steps back and folds himself into the crowd and disappears. "Good. Run." Hopefully I'll get some me time. I turn around to be suddenly met by Weiss' smiling face. "Gah!" I fell over. "What the hell are you doing scaring me like that? What happened to 'making it up' to me?! This is not the way to do it."

"Probably not, but these should help." She holds a bag out to me. "Here. I bought you some cookies."

I look at the bag. "You know this doesn't make you my friend right?"

"So I assume you don't want to eat these. Oh well I'll have to-" I cut her off by stealing the bag from he hand. "So I guess I have your friendship? Have I satisfied you?"

"No. because I can tell that right now if you had my friendship you would never speak to me again so as it stands..." I stop to breathe. "No. we are not friends. Good try though."

She opens her mouth to say something but is cut off by the sound of a man speaking into a mic. "Hello and welcome to Beacon. I am your headmaster. You may call me professor ozpin. All I am here today to say I that I welcome you all to the best hunter school in all of Vale. That and the usual initiation of students will still take place but that is only for you to find your team. The dorm you will have is assigned to you since we have enough space for you to be two to a room. The room assignments are posted outside the door. Have a wonderful day of exploration as you learn all about your campus." With that he walks away.

I use my 'flash step' semblance to get outside before everyone else. The crowd starts to form as I look for my name. "Oh here it is. My room is room 128. And I have to share it with..." "Oh no no no no NOOOO?! Why does it have to be her. Anyone but her please I beg you lord. Sunova BITCH!" I flash step to my room open the door, set my stuff down, and throw myself in the room on my bed and scream. Out of all the people in the world, why did it have to be Weiss?
