Hello everyone! You're probably wondering why this got update and yet no knew chapter. Well I realized while writing chapter 4 that I forgot a big key to the plot when describing Weiss during this chapter, her scar. It will make sense in the future but for now just enjoy the story. I also made some small edits. Nothing big, just a few rewording here and there to make it sound better. If you see anything else I should fix, please let me know!

Edit: 3/7/2017

Weiss just couldn't believe her luck. Just last week she was hanging out with her friends at the mall in Atlas, enjoying the final days of summer vacation talking about clothes and the latest gossip before she began her senior year of high school, when suddenly, her father forces the entire family to move to the outskirts of Vale just so he can oversee the construction of a new major solar panel instillation that is meant to supply a huge amount of power to the Vale area. Now she is being forced to join a special boarding school, Beacon Academy, on the other side of the country, far away from her family where her family was staying. When she complained to her parents about it, they both told her that it would be an interesting experience for her. To be able to see more of the world and to meet new people as well as the fact that she can always make more friends.

…...Friends.

That part is going to be especially difficult for her. It isn't that she wasn't very popular or anything, quite the opposite in fact considering her family is one of the richest in Atlas with her father's energy company, the Schnee Energy Corporation, plus the fact that she was captain of Atlas High's fencing league. The problem was that it was because of those things she was so popular and made it easy for her to make so many friends. She was grateful for that fact considering how very shy she can be at first to people she meets but is rather friendly to those that get to know her. Now that she is starting a new school AND the fact that she had to stay in a dorm with another student that she doesn't even know for a whole year just made it even more difficult for her to understand her new life.

Now here she is, riding in her family's rather luxurious limo, staring out the rear passenger side window with half a mind to tell the driver to turn around and take her back home. She knows, of course that the driver would do no such thing as her father made it abundantly clear that she is to be dropped off with no detours. With that in mind, she was in the middle of trying to figure out how she could get out of through the window without getting caught when suddenly the limo comes to a stop jolting her out of her thoughts.

"We're here Miss Schnee." Her driver said as he placed the vehicle in park and carefully made his way out the door and to the trunk.

"Ugh. Great." replied Weiss. She placed her head in her hands as she tried to grasp the coming moments she was about to experience. "It's okay, it's okay. Just breathe in and breathe out. Your Weiss Schnee. There is no reason you should be so nervous about going to a new school….in a different country…. where you know absolutely nobody." Weiss then got the sudden urge to throw up. She took three deep breathes in an attempt to calm her nervous stomach.

TAP TAP TAP. "Miss Schnee."

The sudden noise caused Weiss's head to jerk towards her right looking to see what was calling her. Seeing that it was her driver attempting to get her to come out of the limo. Weiss took one last deep breath stepped out.

It was a warm, sunny day out and the wind was barely even noticeable as she took her first steps out the door. She looked around and notice the dozens of students of all walks of life meandering around and each was dressed in what seemed to be their best clothes. This made Weiss very happy that she picked out a nice white colored sundress with a blue slash wrapped around her waist, along with a nice pair of blue flats, and her hair in an off-center ponytail for her first day of school. Her father and her mother both had taught her at a young age to dress to impress and that first impressions made a big impact on future relations. To Weiss, it was perfect for such and would hopefully make things more comfortable for her as she prepared for the day.

The school looked rather well for being almost in the middle of nowhere and looked like any other boarding school that one can find in the world. There were several buildings that were about two floors each that she guessed were for classrooms and such. Each building looked to be made up of some brown bricks with a smooth texture and had big windows that covered several sections of the first floor as the second, however, had very few. A few of the buildings had a walk way surrounding them with a roof being held up by a row of pillars that gave it a nice, old school appear. The tallest buildings she could see though were the two in the back behind what she guessed was the cafeteria considering it was full of students eating. One building was a decorative white while the other was blue. Each one was several stories tall and could probably fit at least a few hundred students depending on how the rooms were organized. Besides the fact, the lawn could've been mowed a bit, she had no complaints so far.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you Miss Schnee but I thought it be best that we hurried inside so that we can find your room number and drop off your luggage." The driver stated.

"It's fine. I just needed a sec to clear my head and calm myself." Weiss said as she gazed at the school. "I have an assembly to get to anyways in a few minutes for seniors so we should probably split up. If you would be so kind as to bring my stuff to my room while I hurry there, I'd be grateful. I'll take my laptop just in case there is anything important they discuss."

"Of course, Miss Schnee. It wouldn't be a problem at all." her driver said with a smile. "I wish you luck on your first day and hope that things go well for you."

"Thank you." smiled Weiss. She then grabbed her laptop bag that she wrapped over her shoulders and began her way towards the what she hoped was the assembly room.

As she walked through the school yard she looked around and wondered what he days would be like for the next two years. She wondered what kinds of friends she would make, what kind of adventures they would have, and the things they would talk about. Weiss smiled and was starting to feel less nervous about her time here and was beginning to get excited for what adventure and new things her first day could hold for her. Unfortunately for her however, she failed to see the girl sitting stretched out on the ground sleeping against the pillar in front of her and tripped over the girl's legs causing her to fall face first into the grass in front of her.

"Oh, my God! Are you okay?" said a womanly voice that Weiss silently admitted sounded quite nice to her ears.

"Aaaaaaargh." Weiss groaned as she picked herself off the ground. She quickly brushed herself off as she stood up seeing the massive green stains in her dress that would probably never come out. Weiss then turned around to get a look at the girl that caused her this frustration to give her a cold stare and good yelling but immediately stopped once she saw her eyes. Two breathtakingly beautiful pools of molten silver stared back at her two blue ones.

How little did Weiss know that her first day had just taken quite an interesting turn….

…

Ruby just hated school. It wasn't just the fact that school was…well school but the fact that she had to deal with people on a regular basis and she wasn't very good with people, especially after her incident a couple years ago.

Penny.

Ruby roughly shook her head as she stood in the front of the school, to quickly stopped that line of thinking. Remember. Dad and Yang said that I move on from her. That I had to stop thinking about the past and look towards a brighter tomorrow. Haha, that's funny coming from the two of them. Wait…where is Yang?

Ruby quickly did a scan of the area, attempting to find her sister who had somehow disappeared the second they arrived. Ugh! Why does she have to do this now?! I know she said that I had to try and make friends this year or at least talk to people but I didn't think she would ditch me the second we arrived. Suddenly her pocket started vibrating, indicating that her phone had received a text. She reached in a pulled out her phone and saw that it was from Yang so she swiped her finger across the screen to open and read the text.

'Went to go find Blake and get my room set up. Sorry for ditching ya but I figured you would be fine by yourself till the assembly. Don't forget it's at 2 so don't be late. -Yang'

With a look of frustration at her sister for ditching her, Ruby looked at her watch and saw that it was currently 12:15 meaning she had plenty of time left till the assembly, giving her time to take her stuff to her room (where she hoped that her roommate currently wasn't there so she didn't have to make awkward small talk) and then took off across the school yard. Quickly dropping her stuff off in her room, which she discovered was on the top floor of the white colored dorms. She found that her roommate had yet to arrive and that the room was a bit on the small size but considering that it was only for two people, it was decent enough. She just hoped that her roommate didn't try to hog all the room like the one from last year. Stupid bitch, thought Ruby, remembering the arguments and difficulty she had dealing with her old roommate Emerald. She had specifically requested when she signed up for classes that she not be roomed with her or even be on the same floor as her. Thankfully, Emerald had apparently requested the same thing, making things easier on Ruby.

After dropping off her stuff and getting a bottle of water from the vending machine in the dorms lobby, she made her way outside to relax until she needed to leave for the assembly. She found a nice spot in the shade next to one of the pillars that surrounded one of the buildings and decided that she could sit down and listen to some music for a bit. As she sat and began listening to some music, she looked around the campus, noticing some of the other students that were walking about. Some were just hanging out like she was, while others were walking around going from place to place either with friends or by themselves. She saw a few people she recognized from last year but she didn't know them well enough to attempt to stick up a conversation with them, not that she wanted to anyways. She also had noticed how nicely dressed everyone seemed to be, either wearing some fancy clothes or some guys she even saw were wearing suits in an attempt she guessed impress their fellow classmates.

Personally, she didn't care all that much about dressing as such and considered it to be a waste of time to attempt to dress to impress since she wasn't really into meeting new people. She felt comfortable enough in her black, knee ripped, skinny jeans with a pair of red sneakers and thin black long sleeve shirt, that advertised one of her numerous favorite bands, along with her signature red hoodie and slick black gloves. She hated having to wear these gloves but didn't have much of a choice and of course, it got her a few looks from a lot of people but personally she didn't give a damn what anybody thought.

Leaning back against the pillar, she chugged down the last of her water and threw the empty bottle into her red and black bookbag that looked as if it was going to fall apart any second by how dirty and ripped up it seemed. Looking around once again, she noticed a limo pull up into the parking lot. That's odd. I don't think anybody around her is rich enough to have a limo, well, except maybe Coco but she prefers to drive herself around in a brand-new car almost every week. "Hmm…maybe it's a new kid." Ruby said quietly to herself.

As she was watching the limo, one of the doors opened and a girl that looked around the same age as her, stepped out, and in that instant, Ruby forgot how to breathe.

"…."

Ruby couldn't help but stare as a beautiful, pale-skinned girl, with the purest white hair that Ruby had ever seen, stood in front of the school. The sundress she wore could only add to her beauty and her snow-white hair that rested in a crooked ponytail, flowed down to the small her back looked as though it was crafted in the heavens just for her. Her face was thin with smooth cheekbones, a sharp chin, and two pale blue eyes that Ruby couldn't help but be memorized by. The only imperfection she could find on the girl was a scar going over her left eye down her cheek but besides that, she was perfection.

'My God. She's hot.'

Seeing that the girl walking her way and that her eyes were scanning the area in curiosity, Ruby quickly turned and ducked her head to not get caught gawking at her. Feeling she was caught, Ruby looked down at her watch and noticed that it was 1:50 and that she only had ten minutes to find the assembly room. She was beginning to put her stuff away and get up to go when suddenly she felt something trip over her legs and fall into the ground.

"Oh, my God! Are you okay?" said Ruby as she quickly got up and noticed it was the girl she was gawking earlier who had fallen. She watched as the girl picked herself off the ground and stood up before turning to her. As she looked at the girl even closer than before, Ruby couldn't help but notice that the girl was just a few inches shorter than her, and since Ruby was short herself at 5'5, it just added to how attractive this woman was to her. She then looked at the girls face and Ruby was once again memorized by her pale blue eyes. They were like two pale blue pools of water that she just wanted to jump into and never leave. Realizing that the girl was saying something to her, Ruby shook her head to break the spell the girl's eyes had on her.

"I'm sorry. What were you saying?"

"Ugh." sighed the girl as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "I said, I'm sorry for tripping over you. I wasn't looking were I was going and didn't see you sitting here and probably made a complete fool of myself in front of everybody! To make things worse, my dress is now ruined with grass stains and I don't have time to get changed before the assembly!" the woman sighed again with a complete look of frustration evident on her face. "Worst first day ever."

Ruby couldn't help but feel bad for getting this gorgeous girl's dress ruined and it probably cost more than her entire closet back home.

Quickly she came up with an idea to try and make things better. "Its fine. It was an accident and here you can take my hoodie to wear if you want to help cover up some of the stains on your dress. It might look weird but it would probably be better than walking around with a green smudge on your chest." Ruby stated with a small smile as she took her red hoodie off and handed it to her.

Hesitantly, the girl reached out and took the hoodie from Ruby. "Thank you. That's very kind." she said as she put it on. While the girl was zipping up the hoodie, Ruby noticed that her cheeks turned a light pink that was clearly enhanced by her pale skin but brushed it off as her being embarrassed by the events.

"It's no problem. It is partially my fault anyhow for getting your dress ruined."

"Regardless, thank you for letting me wear your hoodie and I'm sorry for the any trouble I caused and I'd like to make it up to you somehow but first let me introduce myself." the girl then stuck out her hand with a smile on her face and said, "Hello, I'm Weiss Schnee."

"Nice to meet you Weiss. My name is Ruby Rose." Ruby said as she reached out and gently shook the Weiss's hand. She noticed Weiss stare curiously at her gloves but say nothing of it. Letting go of Weiss's had, she reached down and picked up her book bag and slung it over her shoulders. "I hate to leave you hanging here but I gotta get going. I have an assembly to get to quickly or else I'm going to be late. You can just bring give me my jacket back tomorrow at lunch if that works for you."

"Wait a sec. You're a Senior?"

"Yes? Why?"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude. You just looked a little young to be a senior but anyways I am a Senior as well." Weiss said as she quickly reached into her bag and pulled out her phone to look at the time. "Oh shit! We have only three minutes before it starts. We're going to have to hurry if we're going to make it there in time."

"Oh shit! Come on let get going then!" Ruby yelled as she grabbed Weiss's hand, who had let out a squeaky sounding "Eeep" that Ruby couldn't help but think was cute, and pulled her into a run towards the assembly. Ruby felt a grin form on her face as she ran, happy that she had already made a new friend on her first day and that that friend was Weiss.
