So, now I can show you the full description.

Earth High School AU. Going to a new school can be difficult, mostly the part about making new friends. It's even harder for someone who doesn't really like most people and doesn't really socialize well with people who aren't his friends. So love wasn't something he ever even considered happening to him, so he didn't bother. Even when he thinks he likes a girl, he just doesn't bother, cause it's not like it would ever work out, right? Someday soon though, love will come to him. My interpretation of Angels by The XX turned into a story with RWBY characters and an OC my readers know well, ME! ("When are you gonna stop doing the Black Angel ship in your stories?" NEVER! XD SRSLY though, Blake is my waifu :3 Deal with it!)

I had no intention of writing this, it was just gonna stay in my head. But every time I listen to Angels by The XX I think of this story, so I'm writing it now. Listen to the song before reading this, K?

So, I'm writing romantic stuff, again… But this time it's just romance, no crazy powers, just a simple romance in average life. That's all this song is really about, right? (Basically this is a really boring fic with not much to it… nevermind! It was supposed to be simple but I wouldn't define Port and Oobleck as "simple" in this fic!)

Right? I should mention that this is my idea of what the lyrics mean, but you don't have to agree with me. I saw a lot of different opinions of what this song meant, and I decided I agree with this opinion. If you disagree, that's fine. I won't try to prove you wrong and you shouldn't try to prove me wrong, it's just my opinion.

I'm rambling, go ahead and read, if you wish.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, or anything else named, used, referenced, etc. in this fic. I only own this story, my other fanfictions, and my OC(s).

THE RATING IS FOR BAD LANGUAGE. DESPITE WHAT THIS STORY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, THERE IS SOME OF THAT.

Light reflects from your shadow

It is more than I thought could exist

You move through the room

Like breathing was easy

Also, before we start. If I don't describe a character's clothing, picture them in the Beacon Academy uniform. The school this takes place in has a uniform but it isn't required. ALSO just picture the teachers as they look in RWBY normally. AND for casual clothes, just picture what they normally wear in the show, but without the bullets and weapons and stuff like that. (Alright I'll stop talking now, I know my ANs are really lengthy)

(Man, it is really hard to write a story when you feel like every damn thing you put in the story is going to make people judge you, ridicule you, insult you…)

"Speech"

'thought'


Everyone settled into their seats in the class, following the seating chart they had memorized by now. There was one however that didn't sit down, and instead went straight to the teacher.

"Yes?" The teacher asked the tall brown haired boy.

"Hi, I'm new here. Are you Mr. Ozpin?" The boy asked. The fact that this boy was here was getting the attention of a few of the students who had sat down by now, but the boy tried to ignore them.

"Yes, hello there!" Mr. Ozpin greeted and shook the boy's hand. The boy gave a strong handshake which was a good first impression for the man. "Welcome to the class, but before I give you a seat, you should introduce yourself to the class."

The boy grumbled and sighed before looking at the classroom and trying to calm his slightly racing heart. By now he had most of the class' attention as he was something new for the other students.

"Alright class! We have a new student here, who will now introduce himself!" Mr. Ozpin said as he sat down behind his desk at the front of the class with the whiteboard behind him, while the boy stood in front of the class and was looking around but avoiding everyone's eyes.

At this announcement everyone took note of the 6'2 boy with short brown hair, freckles, a green T-shirt that went well with his light brown eyes, and he wore normal light blue jeans and standard silver and black sneakers. The boy sighed loudly, making his annoyance with being put on the spot known to everyone, getting quite a few smiles and a chuckle or two in response.

"Hi, I'm AJ." The boy, AJ, started simply. "Well, I go by AJ." He corrected. "My real name is Anthony but I would really appreciate if you would call me AJ."

"Alright AJ, tell us something about yourself." Mr. Ozpin requested.

AJ turned to give him an annoyed look. "Really?" He asked disbelievingly before turning back to the class. "Why? Did everyone else have to do this?" He mumbled.

"Actually… we um… kind of did." A blond boy seated up near the front reluctantly answered.

"Oh, really?" AJ was surprised. "Well that makes me feel a bit better… I like video games! Not much else worth mentioning…" He mumbled the last part and was really hoping he wasn't stuttering at any point.

"Oh, surely you can tell us something more than that." Mr. Ozpin stated with a not-so-hidden grin.

AJ rolled his eyes and sighed/grumbled loudly again, getting a few chuckles and giggles from a few students who enjoyed the way he was taking his embarrassment. "Alright, but if you want me to do that… I'm going to need a volunteer to come up with me!" He said in a game show host's voice without really raising his voice. "You there!" He pointed at the blonde boy from earlier. "You are our lucky volunteer! Come on up! Join me in my suffering." He deadpanned the last part, the whole act getting a few full laughs from the students, the blonde's reaction adding to the hilarity.

"What!?" The boy asked in shock.

"Come on Mr. Arc! Go on up!" Mr. Ozpin requested.

"Yeah, Jaune! Go up!" A pretty red headed girl next to him encouraged. The blond grumbled before standing up and reluctantly joining the new kid.

"Alright, Jaune, is it? Do you like video games?" AJ asked the blonde.

"Yeah." Jaune answered with a nod.

"Which ones?" AJ asked.

"Well… Halo mostly, but I do also like Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Fallout." Jaune seemed to be trying to think of more, already seeming to forget the students watching them.

"Cool! Me too!" AJ said with a smile. "We should play together sometime!" He turned to the class. "Well, I also really like listening to music. What kind? The good kind." He soon lost the smile as he turned to the teacher. "Alright, that's all you're getting out of me." He deadpanned.

Mr. Ozpin laughed before speaking. "Alright, you can choose any open seat." AJ found few seats open but luckily found one in the far back and slightly left side of the room, if you are facing the room from the teacher's desk. The part about being on the left side didn't matter, just being in the back.

AJ took off his backpack and set it down next to his seat as he sat down. 'Jaune didn't seem happy about me doing that. Hopefully he won't hold it against me. I don't want to make any enemies when I just got here.' He thought. Finding his heart rate was slowing to something he doesn't constantly feel in his chest, he rested his head in his hands as he stared towards the front of the class, which was finally starting.

Taking a moment to look around, the grammar posters on the walls make it clear this is an English class, AJ's least favorite, but the teacher seemed nice so far… Besides putting him on the spot in front of the class.

"A month into the year and we get someone new. Hi! I'm Yang!" A blonde girl to his left said to him, sticking out her hand.

He shook her hand. "Hi Yang, please call me AJ." AJ requested.

"I don't know big guy, but we'll see about that." The girl said before looking forward again. AJ noted how long her hair was and how it didn't look combed at all, and that the girl was being oddly nice to him.

"I am simply not going to respond if you call me Anthony." AJ said quietly, not wanting the attention of the teacher.

"What's wrong with Anthony?" A smaller girl with black hair that was red at the tips asked him. He noticed she had silver colored eyes, which he had never seen before.

"Nothing wrong with it, I just was called AJ from the moment I was born, so it's practically my name." AJ explained.

"That's my sister Ruby, by the way." Yang said, pointing at the girl to AJ's right.

AJ looked at both of them. "Huh, no resemblance though." He pointed out.

"Half-sisters, different mother." Yang explained.

"Yeah? Well I am apparently exactly like one of my two older half-brothers, different father." AJ pointed out, basically questioning the validity of her statement, or at least the logic of it.

"That's weird." Yang commented before they were told to pay attention so they stopped talking and faced forward.


Eventually the class ended and AJ took a moment to check his schedule for his next class.

"Next is… Science with… Oobleck… Alright!" AJ said to himself and started walking across the open campus towards the building marked with 400, indicating the building that held the classes that were 400 and up. The classes didn't actually go to 499 though, it stopped at 430 or so.

"Oobleck? That's our next class!" Yang pointed out, overhearing him talking to himself… and also was looking over his shoulder. "Come on big guy!" She said before she grabbed him by the arm and started pulling him along.

"It's AJ, damn it!" AJ complained as he forced his way out of her grip before walking alongside her and giving her an annoyed look.

"You might want to get used to that." Ruby said as she quickly caught up with them. AJ sighed in acceptance.

"Hey, at least you already have some friends! And it's only the first day!" Yang pointed out. "Heck, it's not even the second class yet!"

"True." AJ quietly agreed.

"What? No 'Gee, thanks for being my friend, Yang.'?" Yang looked hurt but was probably just joking.

"I might have said that but I had forgotten your name." AJ said honestly.

"Already?" Ruby asked, surprised.

"I'm terrible with names." AJ explained. "So, what's Oobleck like?" He asked them as he had realized they were half way to the class now.

""He is AWESOME!"" The sisters yelled simultaneously.

"He is by far the best teacher ever!" Yang yelled.

"He barely ever gives us homework and zooms all over the place and likes making explosions and he is JUST. SO. AWESOME!" Ruby yelled and AJ noticed how ridiculously fast she spoke.

"So… he sounds pretty cool?" AJ basically summed it up.

"You'll like him. Well, I guess I shouldn't say that, seeing as we don't know you too well yet…" Ruby said shyly. "But I don't see why you wouldn't like him! He is JUST. SO."

"ALRIGHT I GET IT!" AJ shouted with a smile and a laugh soon following so she knew he wasn't angry. "I get it."

"You might want to get used to that." Yang quoted her sister and AJ once again sighed in acceptance.

'Of all the friends to make on the first day…' AJ thought.

"Welcomeclasswehaveanewstudenttoday!" Oobleck started as he stood before the class.

"Hey-o!" AJ said casually to the class as he gave a two finger salute. 'If I have to do this in every freaking class I… will probably get used to it and my heart won't be racing by the last class, actually.' AJ realized.

"Wehavenotimeforintroductionstodaysopleasefindaseat!" Oobleck said and AJ nodded in understanding and looked around for a seat.

He quickly found, and heard, both the sisters waving him over to their table so he walked over to them. It was a familiar table for him, with a sink being part of the table and small storage cabinets by your feet. He never was in a science class that didn't have these tables throughout the room.

AJ also noticed someone groan before standing up near his seat, glaring annoyingly at Yang, and walking over to another table. AJ was smart enough to figure this puzzle out himself. "Did you seriously just push some guy out of his seat so I could sit next to you?" He asked the blonde.

"Noooo!" She waved him off sarcastically. "Of course not!" Still sarcasm. AJ brought his hand up to his forehead and sighed. "How can you understand the teacher already though? It took us all awhile to finally understand him.

"Today, class, wewillbe, youguessedit, creatinganexplosion!" Oobleck said with an excited tone that you could just barely recognize in his rapid speech pattern. The majority of the class cheered at this news.

"It's not that hard." AJ commented.

"What do mean, 'not that hard.'!? That is really hard to figure out even now!" Ruby complained.

AJ saw the smirk Yang had the moment he had spoken. "Don't." He stopped her as her mouth finally opened to speak. "You should know now that I very rarely find anything like that funny, so don't bother." He said sternly.

Yang simply chuckled. "Well it's funny to me!" She said with a smile before looking back at Oobleck.

"Soeveryonegogetyourearandeyeprotectionandfollowmeoutside!" Oobleck said before dashing out at the speed of Sanic, which was something AJ, along with everyone else, questioned but they could only assume it was the coffee.

AJ followed everyone else's lead and put on protective glasses and put in earplugs before rushing out with the rest of the class. He wasn't sure where they were going but the fact that the sisters were barely containing their excitement told him that whatever this is was going to be interesting.

They went around to a private back area of the school and a bunker of a building. They went inside and found a viewing window with hopefully blast proof glass. Looking through it you could see an empty room if you exclude the small explosive barrel in the back of the room.

"Sooooooo he was serious about the explosion?" AJ asked aloud.

"Wellofcourse! Youthoughtiwasn'tserious!?" Oobleck asked, suddenly appearing in front of the boy. AJ took a step back and his eyes widened slightly but he otherwise seemed unfazed, much to Oobleck's disappointment… he liked jumpscaring the new ones.

"The school had this blast proof room made just for him." Yang explained to AJ.

"The school can afford that?" AJ asked disbelievingly. 'Why did my mom send me to this school!? Why didn't we just have me homeschooled or something!? I mean I get that she has a friend here, but seriously!?'

"Yep!" Ruby answered his question before turning back to Oobleck, prompting AJ to do the same.

"Alright class!" Oobleck appeared behind the class, holding the detonator. 'Did he just talk at a normal speed?' "I have only one question for you: Explosions!?" Oobleck asked before detonating the explosive, excited cheering soon following as the room shook. Meanwhile AJ was laughing.

"Oh my god he's insane! HAHAHAHA! I LOVE IT!" AJ said while laughing.

"The answer… is yes." Oobleck said dramatically. "Movingon!" He suddenly shouted at normal (For him) speed and sanicing (Yes that is a verb) back to class.

They eventually got back to class and sat back down in their seats.

"Oh, if it makes you feel better." Yang started, getting AJ's attention. "There is no seating chart, so it's not like you stole the guy's seat."

"Except you kind of did!" The student's voice complained from a table on the other side of the class.

"Blame me, not him, Sun!" Yang shouted back with a smile that AJ was already starting to recognize as her usual expression.

"Wait wait wait." AJ started. "He said there was no time for introductions, just because of the explosion?" AJ asked. The sisters simply nodded. "Why did we have the explosion anyway?"

"PYROTECHNICS!" Oobleck "answered" when he suddenly appeared next to AJ, who comically jumped, causing his chair to tilt and fall, taking him with it to the floor. Ruby and Yang were frankly surprised to see him not blushing when he stood up with an annoyed look on his face as he set his chair back up and sat down again. He was just trying to ignore everyone's laughter as well as he could by setting his arms on the table and then setting his head down to hide his face.

"Why did we even have eye protection for that?" AJ asked without raising his head, making his voice sound muffled.

"Oh that wasn't for then, that's for the rest of the class." Yang answered with excitement in her voice.

The rest of the class consisted of fire, a few more small explosions, and Oobleck rapidly spouting nonsense, info, and random trivia about, pyrotechnics. All in all…

"That was an… eventful class…" AJ deadpanned, before he started laughing. "Please tell me that is how it is every day!?" He begged the sisters.

"Oh don't worry, it is." Yang answered with a grin.

"Yes!" AJ yell-whispered.


His next class was in the 600 building, and instead of both sisters, only Ruby shared the class with him.

The class was none other than History with Mr. Portly Man- I MEAN, Mr. Port and his amazing mustache!... His name is Mr. Port.

"Hey-o." AJ greeted with a small smile on his face after his last class. Well… that's what would have happened, here's what really happened:

"Hey-o?" AJ said like it was a question as he looked at the class for a moment before looking back at the unusual extension of the room, the seriously confused look never leaving his face.

In the extra room, which was clearly designed as an animal pen, was a pig. Yep! Just a random dark brown pig in the corner…

"Oink!" That was the pig… obviously.

"Edgar says hello to you as well." Port said with a hearty chuckle.

If AJ was an anime character and he made that face at Port, there would have been a sweatdrop.

'WTF is wrong with this school…' AJ thought to himself. 'I swear to god if the P.E. teacher has a freaking whip or something…'

Needless to say that class was almost as eventful as the last, giving an entertaining twist to AJ's favorite subject. Despite AJ usually always asking questions, he decided to make an exception for the pig… even he decided the advice "Don't ask" was advice he should listen to in this scenario.

"Alright class. That's the bell! Feel free to pet Edgar before you leave, if you wish! He loves the attention!" Mr. Port said as the bell rang.

"Ok, so it's break now?" AJ asked Ruby as he and the rest of the class sat up from their seats.

"Yep!" Ruby answered cheerfully. "So, are you gonna come with me and meet Yang outside her class?" She asked him. "We have a table we like to hang around but she talks with a friend in that class first, so I can usually find her there before she gets out."

"No thanks." AJ answered.

"What!? Why!?" Ruby childishly whined.

"Cause I want to look at the library?" AJ answered like it was obvious, just to mess with her. "See you later!" He then started walking across the campus towards the library.

"Aww…" Ruby had hoped to hang out with her new friend but realized she couldn't be around him forever and decided to let him leave.

It was a standard library, nothing special. Though honestly, it was probably a bit larger than other high school libraries. The break after third period only lasts ten minutes so he simply found a small book about birds and began reading to pass the time. Ten minutes looking at pretty pictures of brightly colored birds later the bell rang, so he put the book back where he found it (He hoped). After that, he checked his schedule to find that he had another science class.

"How had I not noticed that before?" He asked himself as he looked at the number and name of the class before heading there.

It was a totally normal ten minutes for him, nothing special happened, no new ideas came to him, he didn't think of anything funny while he read, it was boring, actually. But little did he realize was that during that totally normal time, a girl had been staring at him. 'I've never seen him here before.' She thought, suddenly curious about the new face.


AJ went to his other science class, which was Earth Science rather than… whatever kind of science Oobleck taught. He stood at the door but unfortunately he could spy neither of the sisters, but low and behold! A familiar blond took hold, of his shoulder.

"Hey!" The blond greeted.

"Oh hey! Um…" AJ forgot his name, as usual.

"Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it!" Jaune said with a cheesy smile.

AJ had quite a few different responses to this run through his head, but none of them felt quite right so he went with the simplest one. "Do th-"

He was interrupted by Jaune getting punched playfully in the shoulder by the pretty red head. "No they don't, you doofus!" She giggled. "He never stops with that silly line of his!" She said to AJ. "Pyrrha Nikos."

"Well, if you have better luck than I do with names, you'll actually remember that I go by AJ." AJ said, mentally cursing his inability to remember names, at first at least.

"Yes, I do remember. If you don't mind me asking, what does AJ stand for?" Pyrrha asked politely.

"Anthony Joseph, if you must know." AJ answered hesitantly.

"You're last name is Joseph?" Jaune asked.

"Maybe…" AJ said defensively as he squinted at Jaune. He soon dropped the act and laughed for a moment, to which they joined him before following him into the class.

"So, are you mad at me about what happened in first period?" AJ asked Jaune.

"Not really. I can understand why you did it, and we already had to do it before you, soooo I forgive you." Jaune answered.

"Good." AJ smiled, glad he hadn't made an enemy, but now he had to deal with once again, being in front of the class. "Hi, new student."

Once that class ended, AJ took a moment to talk to the teacher about the rules of the class and the project that was coming soon, so Pyrrha and Jaune said their farewells before leaving.

AJ left the class room, only to see an orange haired guy that was actually taller than he was, bullying Jaune.

"What do you mean you don't have any money!?" Cardin asked Jaune, getting in his face.

"I don't have any money! I pack my own lunch now!" Jaune explained, fear filling his voice.

"Seriously?" AJ asked himself. "People are still stupid enough to do this? People actually do this at all? I thought this was only in cartoons or something." AJ decided to stop talking to himself and approach them. "Come on Jaune." He said as he took Jaune and was going to simply drag him away from the scene.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" Cardin demanded as AJ walked by him with Jaune in tow.

"Nothing important." AJ said without looking back. 'Please don't touch me. Please don't touch me. Please give me a reason. Please give me a reason. Please don't touch me. Please give me a reason!' AJ's heart was beating a mile a minute as he looked back and saw Cardin seemingly deciding rather to grab him or not. He took the easy way and walked up to AJ, trying to intimidate him by standing tall.

"This has nothing to do with you, now let go of Jauney-boy." Cardin demanded.

"I have very little patience, and you won't believe me, but you really don't want that patience to run out with you. Do the smart thing, back off." AJ calmly demanded, masking the real feelings he had inside.

Cardin glared at him for a long time, at least it felt like a long time to AJ, but eventually Cardin decided to back off and walk away. "Whatever." He said simply as he left.

"Uh… thanks for that." Jaune said slowly.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" AJ asked with a smile, now masking the fact that he really wished Cardin gave him a reason, masking the anger and frustration.

"I thought I was the only one to help someone I didn't know, you know?" Jaune answered. "Like he said, you could have stayed out of it." He pointed out.

"I can't stand stupidity."

"That's your reason?" Jaune asked, surprised.

"Yes. It is." AJ was no longer hiding his anger, but he was still hiding the reason, not that Jaune ever knew. "And… you don't deserve that. You are a good guy, to me at least. Enough of a good guy for me to consider you a friend if we just hung out a little. How could I let that happen to a friend?" AJ asked rhetorically with a smile.

Jaune nodded in agreement with what he was saying.

"Alright, well. I gotta hurry up and head to P.E. See ya!" AJ said before turning to leave.

"Wait!" Jaune called out. "I have the same class, wait up!" At this, AJ actually stopped and looked back, waiting for Jaune to catch up.

"Alright, tell me about the teacher uuummmm… Ms. Goodwitch." AJ asked after checking his schedule again.


"CALLED IT!" Rang out through the building they were using for P.E. class.

"Called what?" Jaune asked the new kid.

"I guessed the P.E. teacher would have a whip or something, and she has a riding crop." AJ explained.

Ms. Goodwitch did in fact have a riding crop, but she couldn't use it, obviously. It was just an accessory and was probably supposed to make her intimidating… or something. The blond adult gave him an annoyed look and AJ could tell he would not get along with her if he had to talk to her.

One breathless class later.

"Dude, you are more out of shape than I am!" Jaune commented.

"Ah shut up." AJ groaned as they got dressed out of the P.E. uniforms and back in their own clothes before heading out to lunch.

"So, do you want to meet my friends, or what?" Jaune asked as they walked out towards the lunch tables.

"Uh, I guess." AJ answered. "I got nothing else to do. Just not sure if I will like your friends."

"Oh I'm sure you'll be fine." Jaune said confidently. It did nothing to help AJ's confidence however.

Jaune had them sit down at a random table outside and simply wait for everyone. It must have been AJ's lucky day because Jaune's friends are none other than the sisters! And that red head girl…

"What was your name again?" AJ asked.

"Pyrrha." She answered.

"Pyrrha, Alright. I'll probably forget that a few more times, or I might not." AJ warned her.

"It's alright, just ask if you ever forget." Pyrrha said politely and smiled.

"Well big guy? How's the first day so far?" Yang asked AJ.

"It's been… its had its ups and downs." AJ answered after some thought. "Overall, better than I expected."

"Good! Glad we could help you have a good first day!" Ruby said cheerfully.

"So, why are you a new student? Did you move from somewhere, or what?" Jaune asked.

"My mom and I moved from another town." AJ answered.

"You know, you look odd in our group." Pyrrha started. "You are the only one that isn't wearing the uniform." She elaborated.

AJ looked at his own clothes and then at their uniforms. "Meh. I was told I didn't have to wear it, so I didn't." He shrugged.

"I don't really want to wear this uniform either, but the stupid dress code left me no other choice." Yang complained.

"Everything else she has is too revealing for school." Ruby explained to him.

"Everything?" AJ asked, surprised.

"Yeah, be careful if you ever see her outside of school." Jaune warned AJ.

AJ sighed before speaking. "Noted…"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean, Vomit Boy!?" Yang said threateningly.

"What?" AJ asked with a smile pointed at Jaune.

Jaune sighed. "Please don't ask. You don't need to know about that." He pleaded.

"He didn't mean anything by it, Yang." Ruby tried to calm down her sister.

"Oh I know what he meant." Yang dropped the act and gained her usual smile again. "I know how distracting I am." She said proudly.

'Great, she's that girl…' AJ thought.

"Hey, guys. Where's Blake?" Ruby asked.

"Who's that?" AJ asked.

"A girl that I've been great friends with since 7th grade." Yang answered. "She can be a ninja whenever she feels like it, so she'll probably pop in any minute now." And right on cue the amber eyed girl approached them.

'Great! Another girl in the group! Well, Jaune said he likes video games so maybe this group won't be so bad…' AJ thought as the black haired girl walked up to them. When she was close enough that you could see her face clearly AJ was surprised to see the color of her eyes was yellow, more like an amber color. AJ forced himself to stop staring before anyone noticed.

"Heya Blakey!" Yang waved. "What took you so long? And you didn't even just appear next to us! You just casually walked up!" Yang pointed out.

"Sorry Yang." Blake apologized. "The lunch line was longer than normal."

"That still doesn't explain why you didn't use your ninja skills!" Yang pointed out, pretending to be hurt by her friend's lack of awesome.

"I'm not a real ninja, Yang." Blake said with a smile at her friend's antics.

"But you read plenty of books about them." Yang pointed out with a teasing grin.

"Yang! You said you wouldn't talk about that!" Blake complained. Her blush was either from anger or from embarrassment, or both.

AJ found his excuse to get away from them before he was caught staring when a random adult approached them. "Are you Anthony?" He asked.

AJ sighed. "Yes." He answered with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Your counselor wants to see you."

"Oh? Alright then. See you tomorrow, guys!" AJ waved as he started to leave.

"Tomorrow!? What about 6th period!?" Yang pointed out.

"I don't have a 6th period class!" AJ explained but kept walking.

He eventually found the office and sat down in the chair in front of the Freshman and Junior's counselor's table.

"How are you settling in?" The counselor asked with a friendly smile.

"I'm fine, Ms. Fall. You don't have to worry about me." AJ answered. "I actually have made some friends already, so things should be fine."

"Good. Your mother will be glad to hear that." Ms. Fall said.

"Hey Cinder!"

"Well speak of the devil!" Ms. Fall said with a laugh as a long and brown haired woman walked into her office suddenly.

"Hey Mom." AJ said to his mom.

"Hey Sweetie!" His mom said with a smile.

"Well, I would love to chat but I have work to do, and I'm sure AJ doesn't want to stay in school any longer than he has too." Cinder joked.

They both laughed along with her before saying their farewells.

'I can never get over how much he takes from her.' Cinder thought as she went back to her work.

"So, school was good then?" His mom asked as they got in the black truck they owned.

"Good. Made friends already." AJ answered, yet the only thing that came to mind was that girl, Blake. He put his hand up to his chest but unfortunately his mom had noticed this.

"Are you ok? Why are you holding your chest like that?" She asked, concerned.

AJ winced in pain. "Yeah, I'm fine. It just… it hurts to breathe all of the sudden." He lied. "It'll pass in a moment."

He wasn't sure if she saw through the lie or just was really concerned, but she put her hand over his heart as well. "Your heart is pounding, are you sure you're ok?" She asked.

"Yes Mom. I'm fine." He insisted and smiled, as if the pain was going away.

'The hell is up with me?' He thought as his heart wouldn't stop racing, so he put in his headphones and turned on some music in an attempt to calm down.

I was going to do this with Blake and Jaune but the idea I had for that would be too simple and would just end up being a boring one-shot, and for some reason I don't want this to be a one-shot. SO, I'm shipping Arkos as well so I can make a short little story out of this!

So, Oobleck and Port weren't going to be completely fucking crazy in this story since it was supposed to be pure romance but my sense of humor got the better of me. Seriously, there wasn't going to be a pig… at all… and then it just kind of… happened… XD

Oh by the way, I'm not going to explain what I think the song fully means until the end, the VERY end. I'm only going to write this story, and let you figure out what I think it means. Again, it's just my opinion and you don't have to agree with it, just don't go trying to prove me wrong, K? Cause I'm never going to agree with you anyway.

So, I hope you enjoyed. If you have any questions feel free to ask, not sure what you would ask but just thought I would throw that out there. If you care, follow and or favorite, I would rather you only review if you enjoyed, but really, JUST DON'T FLAME, K?

And if you MUST know, I would rather work with an OC because I can actually understand my own thoughts. Trying to do this with Sun (for instance) instead would not have worked for me, I'm just not good with some character's thoughts. I would rather work with the OC and get things right than just… I could have just made Sun act like me but that's kind of silly. I would rather admit that it's me, than hide the fact like that. Also, I need a variable that I can control, and an OC is a variable that I can do whatever I want with!

Have a great week everyone! Even if you didn't like this, have a great week!
