In truth, the WBY of team RWBY had intentionally let Nora know about Ruby's secret. They had been waiting for her to come walking by so that she could 'accidentally' hear their conversation. It had all been planned.
The three girls knew that Nora was a blabbermouth of the worst kind. Hearing something like Ruby being gay would be something that she couldn't possibly keep to herself. After Nora had heard their conversation, it was only a matter of time until whole Beacon knew of Ruby's sexuality.
There was a reason for this. They wanted to eliminate as much of their competition as possible.
Ever since she had entered Beacon, Ruby had started to gather herself a fanbase due to her being a prodigy that got accepted to Beacon early. While many students were jealous and hated her, others admired and loved her. Ruby's talents in fighting and studies, along with her adorable looks, drew in many admirers that eventually started a fan club dedicated to her.
The club consisted mostly of male students obviously, with a couple of female students mixed in as well. Due to the revelation of Ruby's sexuality, most of the male fans gave up on the young girl and left the club, since there was no point in chasing after a girl that would never return their feelings. Only a couple of very dedicated male students remained in the club.
This had been the goal of WBY. Since Ruby was still young, they feared that a good enough of a guy could possibly change the younger girl's view on guys and girls. Now there was no fear of that and they wouldn't need to worry about fending off any male admirers.
However, there was a flaw in their plan and it was a big one as well. They didn't anticipate the effects on the female students.
Since it had been revealed that Ruby was gay, the previously male-dominated fan club of Ruby went through a dramatic change. Not only did the already existing female fans of Ruby get new vigor into their admiration, a lot of new members joined the club. Now the club consisted mostly of female fans and was even bigger than before.
WBY's plan turned into their biggest mistake as they gained new enemies, but they were going to fix that very soon.
The members of Ruby's fan club gathered in the middle of the night during weekends. They could be seen sneaking around Beacon's hallways while wearing red cloaks similar to Ruby, eventually gathering in an empty classroom. The club members also had special cards made, so no one outside of the club could get in.
Three girls were making their way to the club's meeting place. They had their hoods pulled up, so no one was able to tell their identities. They eventually arrived at their destination and knocked on the classroom's door. The door opened to reveal a girl from the third year students standing there. She was also wearing a smilar red cloak.
''Can I see your cards?'' the third year asked and the three girls gave her the cards she wanted to see. She looked them over and nodded. ''You guys are a bit late, but come in.''
The third year student stepped out of the way as the three girls made their way into the room. The room was full of people. Mostly girls, that were wearing similar red cloaks. There were a couple of stands set up, where some members of the club were selling all sorts of merchandise of Ruby. There were posters, figurines, plushies and even body pillows. All of the members in the club were huddled around different parts of the room. Some were talking among themselves, while others were buying Ruby merchandise.
The noise was suddenly stopped by a single person in the room, who was standing behind the teacher's desk and hit it with a wooden mallet, like she was a judge in a courtroom. All the noise immediately died and attention was focused on the girl behind the desk.
