Yang was running and laughing through the halls as she tried to escape from Blake' wrath. Ruby smiled as she saw the two them chase each other through the halls. Professor Ozpin glanced over to Glynnda who was furious about the ruckus Yang and Blake were causing.

"What are these children doing!?" Glynnda gritted her teeth.

"Easy Glynnda, it's not everyday these kids get to have this much fun."

"Ruby! Help me!" Yang screamed, but was laughing at the same time.

Ruby shrugged. "I told you, you should've gone to see her last night. But nope, you didn't listen."

"Ruby!" Yang cried, but Ruby ignored her.

"Sorry Yang, but this problem isn't mine." Ruby said as she walked away. "See you two later I guess! But Blake, I think you should head to class too!" Ruby grinned waved at them.

"Oh right! Class! I'll see there Ruby!"

I've gotta catch up with Weiss! Ruby thought as she rushed her way into history class with Doctor Oobleck.

Ruby looked around the room and saw no sign of Weiss yet. She saw Jaune in the front row flipping through the class'es textbook preparing himself for lecture. Pyrrha sitting behind him looking more than ready to learn. Ruby sat right besides her.

"Hello Ruby!"

"Hey Pyrrha, ready for another day of class?"

"Possibly..." Pyrrha said with a wavering smile.

Shortly after her arrival, she saw Blake walking ay the doorway panting heavily. Then Weiss came rushing through the room almost knocking Blake over carrying several books and binders.

"I'm sorry!" Weiss apologized. Doctor Oobleck just watch the whole scene unfold before him with amusement.

"Weiss! Blake! You two are 26 seconds late! Please take your seats!"

Glancing around briefly, Weiss' heart skipped a beat as saw Ruby and Pyrrha. Unintentionally she made herself comfortable in between the both of them. Ruby and Pyrrha exchanged awkward glances unsure of as to why Weiss was sitting in between them when there were opens seat next to them.

"Weiss, why didn't you just tell us to move a seat over?" Ruby asked.

"I wasn't thinking at the moment." Weiss whispered. "And oh, by the way, you and I need to talk."

"Got it." Ruby answered as the school bell rang.

"Actually, I would like to speak with Ruby too." Blake said as she took a seat besides Ruby. "That is if neither of you mind."

"Oh I don't mind!" Ruby replied.

"Class! Begins now! Ruby, Weiss and Blake! Is there something you would like to share with us?"

"Uh... Your timing is off?" Ruby grinned unsurely. "Cause it started.... uh... one minute ago." Weiss facepalmed, but this was one of the things she missed about having Ruby around. Being innocently blunt.

"Fair enough. It did ring about a minute and 30 seconds ago." He mumbled to himself. "Anyways, moving on!" Doctor Oobleck took a sip out of his coffee mug and started lecture.

History can be a fun subject to learn about, but easily anyone can zone out after a while of just sitting there and wanting the class to end.

"And class, remember its Doctor Oobleck! Not Professor! And now, class dismissed!" He said as he bolted out the door.

"Ruby, I wonder who's faster, you or Doctor Oobleck...?" Pyrrha wondered.
