Jaune was sat on the school roof with his sketchbook propped up against his knees. It was lunch time at school so the teen decided to get some practice in for his next lesson. The pencil expertly danced across the page as his drawing slowly came to life. He looked up at the scenery once again.

'The school may have it's downfalls, but this is amazing.' He thought cheerily.

The school was one of the tallest buildings in the town, thus given it a great view of the distant landscape. Jaune could make out a forest a few miles out and a small lake just to the left of it. He looked over the railing and saw the other students spending lunch with each other.

"I wonder how many of them know just how beautiful this world is..." He frowned, closing his sketchbook and laying down, using his arms as pillows.

"I thought that I'd find you lazing about up here." Pyrrha chuckled, making her way over to her friend "What's gotten you so down?"

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about things." He responded lazily, not wanting to go into the topic.

Pyrrha gave him an unsure glance "As long as you're okay. Anyway, I came here to ask your opinion on the Valentines dance." The tiniest bit of a blush appeared on her face.

"The what?" Jaune asked, opening his eyes a bit.

"You know, the dance we got told about in registration." She informed the boy.

Jaune sat up and sighed "I kind of missed registration... again..." He smiled sheepishly "Care to explain it?"

Pyrrha rolled her eyes with a smile "Sure. Okay, there is going to be a school dance on Valentines day, It is mandatory to go and you have to have a date." She explained.

"Aww what!" Jaune whined "Dances suck."

"It sucks to be you then. If you don't go to it, you will have detention everyday for the rest of your school life." She smirked "Principle Ozpin's orders."

"The dance is in..." Jaune started to count on his fingers "...6 months!" He exclaimed happily.

Pyrrha smiled at her best friend "You are correct."

Jaune shot up to his feet and grinned "That means, I have 6 months to get Weiss to be my girlfriend! Thanks for the head start Pyr, you're the best!" He shouted while running back into the school.

Pyrrha held her head low "Far from the best, it seems..." She closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

Jaune sat in Art with a nervous smile. Art was one of the only lessons he liked and excelled in. But because he got so into his work he tended to ignore his fellow students. So when the teacher said they would be working in pairs for the next project, he became increasingly more nervous.

"Weiss Schnee." The teacher called out.

'Wait! Weiss is in this class?' His eyes scanning the room for the white haired angel.

"Here." Came her cold reply as she stood up from her seat.

"You will be paired with... let's see... Ah yes! Jaune Arc."

"Sweet!" Jaune hopped out of his seat and practically skipped his way over to Weiss.

Weiss sighed "Out of all the people, I get stuck with you. I bet you can't even pick up a pencil, let alone draw."

"Nice to see you too..." Jaune said in a defeated tone.

"Okay class. Your project is to find something that interests you both and create art explaining why it does." The teacher smiled "You have 2 weeks until it is due. I will give you the rest of the day off to give you time to think about it."

Weiss sighed and turned to Jaune "Listen here, this does not make us friends, understand?"

"I guess..."

"Good, come over to my house at 7 and we will work on this there. Got it?" She instructed.

"Sure, want me to bring anything?" He smiled.

"I'd like to see some of your pieces. So whatever crappy drawings you have, bring em." She replied, making her way out of the room.

"Whatever..." Jaune slumped into her chair as the other students left.

One student with long black hair with a magenta stripe stood in the room a confused look on his face.

"Excuse me?" He asked Jaune "Do you mind helping me out? The person who is supposed to be showing me around has not shown up." The boy spoke in a bored, flat tone.

"Umm, yeah." Jaune got up and collected his bag "I'm Jaune by the way."

"Lie Ren." The raven haired boy held out his hand "I am a transfer student, so I have no idea of the schools layout."

"Yeah, it's pretty confusing at first." He shook the boys hand "Where did you need to go?"

'I can't believe I got paired up with him! I try doing him a favor by telling him to stay away from me, but somehow he still ends up getting close!' Weiss stormed around her room in frustration.

She had switched out of her school clothes and changed into a light blue vest with light frills at the hem and a pair of blue skinny jeans.

Her eyes landing on a flier she got handed at school, if looks could kill the paper would be ashes by now "A Valentines dance." She scoffed "How disgusting."

A knock snapped her out of her thoughts "Weiss dear, may I come in?" Her Dads voice asked.

"Yes Daddy." She took a seat on her bed and put on her best smile.

"How are you today, my little princess?" He smiled warmly.

"I am great daddy." She replied in a strained voice "I hope you don't mind, but I invited a friend over to study with me."

"Why on earth would I mind? Now I'll finally be able to get to know your friends!" He squealed in excitement.

"Daddy, calm down." Weiss smiled softly.

"There's no time! I need to make dinner preparations! First impressions always matter!" He shouted before running out of his daughters room.

Weiss' eye twitched 'He's coming to study, now he's having dinner!'

"Jaune, why are you dressed up so nice?" His mother inquired. The blonde teen was wearing a short sleeved, blue dress shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans "Is it for a girl?" She teased.

"Wha!... No! I mean, well, kind of..." He admitted, flustered "She is just a friend."

"Is it Pyrrha? You and her are practically inseparable." She asked "She's gorgeous too."

"No mum! It's someone I met the other day, you don't know her." Jaune explained "And we are just going to study on our art project." Eyes darting to the clock "And I actually have to leave now." He walked to the front door "I'll be back later." He called out from the door.

"He's finally opening up." She smiled.

Jaune arrived at Weiss' house without a hitch and walked up to the door, raising his fist to knock on the door.

After a couple of seconds the door swung open and revealed Weiss' father "Hello again." He greeted with a smile.

"H..Hello, Mr Schnee." Jaune replied nervously "Is Weiss in? We kind of have a project to study for."

"Of course my dear boy! Weiss!" He called upstairs as he let the blonde teen enter the house.

Weiss came running down the stairs and grabbed Jaune's wrist "Thank you for letting Jaune in, Daddy." She thanked, pulling him up to her room.

"Dinner will be ready soon, I hope you like chicken, Jaune." Mr Schnee smiled.

"Chicken is great, thanks Mr Schnee." Jaune smiled back.

"Please." The older man said "Call me Rolf."

Jaune was about to reply, but Weiss had given him a tug and pulled him into her bedroom.

"Okay, look." Weiss started "You are here to help with the project, so get your head into gear." She scowled "Now, did you bring some of your art?"

Jaune nodded and pulled out his sketchbook, handing it over to the white haired teen.

Weiss flipped the book open and checked his work. To say she was impressed would be an understatement 'How come he's not shown any of his drawings in class?' She thought "Jaune... these are amazing..." She flipped to the next page and was stunned.

It was a portrait of Jaune and a girl she had never seen before. She had blonde hair and eyes that matched the blonde boys. Her hair was in pigtails and her smile was wide. She looked younger than Jaune. Weiss felt herself get a little jealous at the drawn girl.

"Who is she?" Weiss spat in jealousy "Someone precious to you?"

Jaune nodded his head "She's my little sister... and she's dead."

"Oh..." Came her reply "I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault." He smiled sadly "I drew that picture to remind me of how cruel life can be. How something you love, can be taken from you just like that."

Weiss was captivated "I think we have just found our project."

"Huh? We have?"

"Emotions. We all have them and we all have different ways of dealing with them. We can express different emotions through different pieces and explain what emotion they are." Weiss explained.

"That sounds good to me." Jaune agreed.

Once dinner had finished Jaune and Weiss headed back up to the girls room so he could collect his belongings.

"I know you keep saying that we aren't friends." Jaune started "But, I'm curious."

"To what?" She frowned.

"Why are you trying so hard to not be friends with me?"

The question stung "So you don't get hurt." She answered honestly "If you try and be my friend then Cardin and his friends will continue to hurt you."

Jaune sighed and patted the girl on the head "Are we still up for the movies tomorrow?" He asked with a grin.

Weiss was confused "Why would you put yourself in harms way, just to be my friend?"

"Cause you are nice. You may try and keep up a shell, but I can see through it."

"...Pick me up at 2."

"Got it." He grinned victoriously.

Poor Pyrrha... -sadface-

That is all!
