Ruby's pov

I wake up and get ready for school when i get downstairs i see yang and dad making breakfast so i sit down "morning rubes" yang says "morning" i say back "so how are you enjoying high school so far" dad asks "well it's been one day but i like it" i say "did you make any new friends" he asks "yeah blake the emo" yang says coldly "Blake's nice stop being so mean" i say "how do you know she's nice she doesn't speak" yang says "we talked on paper and have you ever considered she doesn't talk because you are all so mean to her" i say getting angry "i agree with ruby just because someone isn't outgoing doesn't mean they are mean" dad says "thank you" i say "look i just don't want ruby without any friends" yang says "i will always have at least one friend so there is no need to worry" i say "fine but don't come crying to me when you regret this" yang says "don't worry i won't" i say "well it's time to go" dad says and we get in the car and leave

I get to school and walk around waiting for class to start when i see blake walking with a stack of books and some guy comes and knocks them over and walks off blake seems unaffected but i walk over and help pick up the books "goodmorning" i say  and she keeps walking "do you need help with your books" i ask she shakes her head but i grab half anyway "well im still gonna help" i say and she sighs walking off and i follow she stops in front of a locker and opens it up putting the books in "here you go" i say handing her the books and the bell rings "well i guess we should be going" i say and she nods then we walk to class sitting in the same spots as last time then blake slides me a paper thanks for the help it says "no problem its what friends do" i say and she gives me a concerned look "yes we're friends now in my eyes" i say and she writes on the paper alright but don't say you weren't warned "man you have no faith its not a crime for me to be friends with you" i say fine if we're friends then what's your number she writes i then write my number down and she texts me "texting is faster than writing" it says "so what do you like to do other than reading" i ask "i don't do much other than reading" she texts "oh well that's cool to" i say and she gives me a look of suspicion "what is it" i ask "you seem to nice its suspicious" she texts "how can someone be to nice" i ask "i don't know im just expecting some turn where i realize you're not as nice as i thought" she texts "that's ridiculous i can assure you i don't plan on doing anything" i say and she seems to calm down a bit and we talk for the rest of this and next class

"do you want to eat lunch with me" i ask her "don't you eat lunch with your sister" she texts "i did yesterday but now i can eat lunch with you" i say "alright then lets go" she texts and we walk to the lunchroom get our food and sit down "its much nicer sitting with you yang and her friends are so loud" i say and she laughs a bit "would you look at that the freak has a friend" the boy that knocked down Blake's books says "she has a name you know" i say angrily "what kind of looser would want to be friends with her" he says "what kind of idiot thinks he's cool for being an asshole" i say back pissing him off "oh you think you're hot shit don't ya" he says "no but i think you're a piece of shit" i say "now you've done it" he says winding up to punch me "mr. Winchester i advise you to stop before you end up with an assault charge" the principal says and the guy is pulled away by a teacher "well mrs rose i would like to thank you for sticking up for your friend but next time i would advise you to not use such strong language" he says "sorry sir" i say "well have a good day" he says walking off and the lunchroom is silent staring at us "go back to eating there's nothing to see here" i say and they all turn away "t-thank you" blake says out loud making my heart skip a beat "did you just speak" i ask and she nods "i didn't know you could anymore" i say "i can its just scary" she says "what made you decide to talk to me" i ask "im certain you aren't faking kindness now" she says "what do you mean faking kindness" i ask "its a personal story i don't really want to talk about it here" she says "alright sorry for being pushy" i say "no its ok" she says "i like your voice its very pretty" i say "thank you" she says getting embarrassed then the bell rings "i guess I'll see you in fourth period" i say beginning to walk off and she waves then i head to my next class

I walk in the class and feel everyone's eyes on me i sit in my assigned seat next to a girl named weiss who doesn't like me that much "hello weiss" i say "you're a dolt" she says "i haven't even done anything yet" i say "what you did in the lunchroom you could have been seriously hurt" she says "aww where you worried" i ask "no i was just saying what you did was stupid" she says "weiss was the one who got the principal" another girl named pyrrha says "shut up pyrrha" weiss yells "so you do like me" i say "don't let it get to your head" she says "oh its already in there" i say "i do like how you stood up for her though" weiss says "of course if someone messes with my friends they mess with me" i say "well i don't think you have to worry i heard cardin got expelled" pyrrha says "serves him right" i say "can you girls stop talking im trying to teach here" the teacher says "sorry sir" we all say starting to pay attention
