Nora's pov:
         "It's not living. It's surviving." I'm on my bed and that is playing over and over again in my mind. What does that mean? We have to help him. He's such a sweet and caring guy who thinks of everyone before himself. Yet he had the worst life ever. If only Jaune and them would let me break those assholes legs. Especially if it would make him smile. I need to make him smile more. Everyone deserves happiness, especially him. He has a really cute smile, even if I only saw it for one afternoon. But how d-
          "Nora!" I hear Jaune shout.
          "Huh?"
          "Did you seriously not hear us trying to get your attention all of this time? What's wrong Nora?" Jaune asks
         "Sorry I didn't hear, I was thinking of something."
        "And what is so captivating?" Pyrrha joins in. Crap. They'll think I have a crush on him. Which I don't. Even if he is cute.
        "Uuuuuuh the dance! I'm thinking about what color dress I should wear. And who to go with. And if Ms.Goodwitch and Professor Ozpin are going together as a couple."
       "Suuuuuuuure." Jaune says
       "So who are you guys going with?"
      "Weiss said no. Again." Jaune says deflated
      "It is okay Jaune. I'm sure someone will go with you. I also have not been asked." Pyrrha you dog. Just ask him out already.
       "Well Nora, I was hoping we could go together." Ren says. Well I did have a crush on him before. And then I got tired because nothing happened. But maybe things can get sparked up again.
       "Sure. Oooooh maybe I should wear a dress that's the color of your hair streak!"

Dustin's pov:

      I woke up in a bed for once. I sigh then roll out of bed, quite literally. Not a sound was heard as I landed in push up position. I get up and look at the time. I have about an hour before class starts. Time to squeeze in 5 minutes of stretching, 20 minutes of cardio , have a 10 minute shower, get ready in 5 minutes, and then walk over.
      Let's get busy. For my cardio I do a circuit workout of push-ups, mountain climbers, pull-ups, squats, and dumbbell rows after practicing with truth and perception. I do it about 5 times.
       Sweat dripping from my brow, I strip myself as I make my way to the shower. The shower head gushes out cold water soon as I turn it all the way up. I don't wait for it too heat up. I close my eyes and take deep breaths as the frigid water envelops my body. First I wash my hair so hot water doesn't kill the cells and make it rough and scratchy textured. My hands roam up and down the scarred skin of my body as they lather soap all over me. By now the water is warm and will soon be scalding for most. But not hot enough to singe away all of the imperfections of my skin put there by the corruption of my soul throughout the years. I scrub over and over again until only water is left rushing on my surface. Steam rises from the practically boiling water. I put my forearms against the wall for support and just stand there, taking the feeling in and thinking of nothing else.
      After a minute or two I step out and dry off. I get dressed in my uniform for the last time this week, being today is Friday. I walk to class and take my seat. Still have 17 minutes till class starts. I unholster truth and spend my time waiting changing it from pistol into machete over and over again. Jnpr sit by me again. I wander when they'll leave me like everyone else. The teacher comes in and starts his lesson. And immediately I regret everything with how boring it is. I sleep through the class until it's time to leave. My next class is a little better but still, it is class.
       At lunch I sit at a table by myself. I don't bother with going to bet any food, again. Jnpr come and sit down at the table I'm at. And eventually rwby does too. They all start chittering with each other until Pyrrha asks me something.
       "So do you have anyone to go with too the dance?" I laugh.
        "Why would I go to a dance?"
       "Because me and Weiss are making it the best dance ever, duh. And besides it wouldn't kill you to enjoy a night with a pretty girl at a dance now would it?" Yang says
       "I don't like dances and I don't date. I have absolutely no reason to go."
      "Why don't you date? How will you fall in love if you reject everyone?" Ruby asks before eating another cookie
      "I doubt anyone wants to date a murderer. And besides, if I did fall in love I shouldn't date them. I couldn't let someone be used as leverage against me and they end up dying because of the fact that I have pissed a lot of people off."
      "That doesn't mean you can't have a good time at the dance."
     "I live my life to risk it for others, so why would I start living it for myself?" The table goes silent.
     "Because we want too see you happy for once. We want to see you smile. Having Ren as a date will be fun and all, but all of you guys will make it even better. That includes you." Nora says with a sweet smile. She's going with Ren. She is going with Ren. I need to make that not bother me. Damnit and this is why I don't like getting close too people, it only hurts.
        "I'd need a better reason for that. I would need someone I would live for." I walk out of the cafeteria passing by a blue haired kid and a monkey Faunus.
