Chapter 1

"Say that one more time Arc, I dare you!" Cardin said pulling on the bunny faunus, Velvet's, ears for the last time.

"I said leave her alone Cardin!" Jaune practically screamed at the well-known bully of Beacon Academy. Cardin let go of Velvet's ears only to get up face-to-face with Jaune.

"You may have saved my life in Forever Falls, Jauney-Boy. But I've had it with your annoying face" Cardin hissed through clenched teeth. About to reveal Jaune's secret of getting into the school on fake records to everyone in the cafeteria, including his team and team RWBY. Jaune saw pure hatred in Cardin's eyes. He would soon regret this next decision for the rest of his life. He did what he swore to himself he would never do… Fight a human. He'd always based himself on the belief that fighting people was a weak way of just finding a solution to a simple problem.

Jaune clenched his fist in pure anger. He proceeded to punch Cardin straight in the face guessing his plans of revealing his secret, hoping that Cardin's blind rage would make him forget the whole thing. It worked better than Jaune thought, for Cardin didn't fight back, he just stood up and…. Left? Jaune then collapsed into himself and started crying profusely on the floor.

"Jaune?!" Pyrrha yelled as she ran over to the knight on the floor in the middle of the cafeteria, followed by the rest of her team. Jaune was out cold…

Yang and the rest of team RWBY walked over to the knight.

"Ahhhh… Did Vomit-Boy tiwe his wittle sewf out?" Yang said as the NPR of JNPR glared daggers at Yang effectively shutting her yap.

"You know how Jaune is, Yang" Ruby said as she glared at Yang for kicking him while he's down… And unconscious.

"He probably couldn't handle the stress that his recent actions put on him" Weiss said matter-of-factly.

Pyrrha scooped Jaune up bridal style and started taking him back to their shared dorm room. If you were there, you might have seen the lights reflect off of the newly formed tears on her otherwise perfect face.

"I told you to rely on us you idiot" Pyrrha whispered to the unconscious Jaune through her tears.

The rest of teams JNPR and RWBY all left, except Yang, who stood there by herself in the, now empty, cafeteria.

'Wiess it something I said?' Yang thought to herself with a giggle.

The Next Day

Jaune woke up with a stuffy nose and a cold sweat.

'Good going big-shot, you finally stand up to Cardin, then you cry and pass out…' Jaune thought to himself while trying to get out of his bed. "Trying" being the big word here, for when he tried moving his leg he found his partner tightly latched onto it. Jaune felt the heat rise to his face as he let out a massive blush. Not wanting to wake the huntress, he tried to go back to sleep. Right before he dozed off his vibrating scroll jolted him up again. He had received a message from Cardin.

'Meet me at Beacon Cliffs ALONE after classes today… And bring your equipment'

Jaune's auditory gulp could be heard from across the hall, that is, if anyone was awake.

"Just my luck" Jaune groaned before dropping the scroll on the floor and accepting the sweet ten minutes of sleep he had before normal morning activities ensued…
