Beacon Academy

Jaune was walking through one of the many hallways of Beacon Academy, having just finished class, he was making his way to the lunch room.

Jaune: *sigh* I wonder what's for lunch today?...

As he was thinking, Jaune wasn't paying attention when someone grabbed him from the back of his shirt collar.

Jaune: Gah!!

Cardin: What's up, Jauney Boy?

Jaune: H-hi Cardin.

Catching Jaune by surprise, all of team CRDL surrounded Jaune, each with a smirk on their faces.

Cardin: On your way to your next class, Jauney Boy?

Jaune: Uh, yeah?

Cardin chuckled.

Cardin: I guess I should help you get your things from your locker, shouldn't I?

Jaune: N-no, no! I can... get it myself.

Cardin glared at Jaune.

Cardin: Are you denying my "kindness"!?

Jaune: No! No! I'll... gladly take your help... *sigh*

Cardin: Great!

Cardin dragged Jaune to his locker, many of the other students gave a wide birth to them as they walked.

Cardin: Well, Jauney Boy, you know the drill.

Jaune: *sigh* Yeah, I know...

The second Jaune answered, Cardin shoved him into his locker and slammed it shut.

Cardin: Hahaha! Man, I should make this an art!

Team CRDL laughed with each other as they left Jaune alone in his locker.

Jaune: *sigh*

After a moment of silence someone spoke up.

(Y/N): Hey Jaune.

Jaune: Huh? Y-Y/N is that you?

(Y/N): Yep, I'm in the locker next to you.

Jaune: Oh. Cardin got you too, huh?

(Y/N): Yep. About, ten minutes before you.

Jaune: *sigh* Again, sorry about Cardin, I know you're new here and all...

(Y/N): Eh, it's not too bad. I mean, at least he put us in the large lockers this time.

Jaune: Oh, yeah.

(Y/N): Besides, it's either this or more "combat training" with team RWBY. And to be honest, this is considerably less painful...

Jaune: You're taking combat training with Ruby and the others?

(Y/N): "Combat training" is too nice, it's more like, them beating me until they get tired. I mean, I know they mean well, but it still hurts, a lot...

Jaune: Yeesh, I'm sorry...

(Y/N): Still doesn't hurt as much as when Weiss gives me "constructive criticism".

Jaune: *sigh* People like us can never win, huh?

(Y/N): What do you mean?

Jaune: I mean, everyone just pushes us around and there's nothing we can do about it.
