Weiss Schnee

Weiss was heading to the welcome center to receive her dorm assignment. She was one of the few not struggling to carry their weight in luggage, opting to bring only a single bag, and a backpack.

"Nononononooooooo" Weiss turned to her left to see a girl running right at her, trying to recapture a bag that was falling. She tried to move out of the way, but was too late. The girl crashed into Weiss, sending them both crashing into the concrete.

"What is wrong with you?!" Weiss shouted at the girl. Weiss got back on her feet and brushed off her jacket… Except it wasn't brushing off. AGH it's scratched! "You ruined my jacket! Do you have any idea how much this cost? It's not even in production anymore!"

Weiss got a good look at the girl. She looked young, and had short black hair. Her clothing was pretty simple: red hoodie and black jeans. She was just sitting there, in a complete daze. She must have hit her head really hard. I don't think she can hear me… No point in yelling at her I guess.

"Whatever. Just watch where you're going. Dolt." Weiss looked around, trying to figure out where she should take the girl.

"Sorry Princess." came a weak response from the girl.

Ok, so maybe she didn't hit her head that hard, she's just an ass. Weiss turned back to the girl to shout a retort, but another girl stepped in. This girl also had black hair, but much longer than the other girls.

"It's heiress, actually."

Weiss held her breath. There's two types of people that are familiar with her family. Those who make a lot of money from her family, and those who have had their families destroyed by Schnee Dust. The latter being much more common. She hasn't run into many people indifferent with her family, but she was hoping it might be more common in Vale.

"That's Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the Schnee Corporation. The same company that has been illegally manufacturing and selling one of the most deadly drugs known to man for generations." The new girl continued.

"Allegedly." Interrupted Weiss. "The Schnee Corporation has never been charged of any crimes." Weiss has rehearsed this several times before leaving Atlas. "The Schnee Corporation follows all applicable regulations regarding the manufacture of Schnee Dust. The Schnee Corporation donates millions of lien a year to rehab programs, to try and make up for the damage caused by the thief who stole the manufacturing process from us and began illegally manufacturing Schnee Dust"

"Yes… 'the thief' that conveniently stole the manufacturing process just days after the regulation laws passed." Replied the stranger.

Weiss rolled her eyes. Not worth the argument. Weiss looked at the girl that crashed into her, she was starting to get up.

"mruby" she said, struggling with her balance.

Weiss looked back at the second girl. "As much as I'd love to stay and chat, I've got to get this girl to a nurse."

"Oh that's fine, I can help you carry her bags. Maybe while we walk you can tell me exactly how your family got richer while your sales were plummeting?" Offered the stranger.

GRRRRR. Weiss was getting angry. I'm 17 years old. What do I have to do with any of that?. "On second thought, you stay here and watch her, and I'll find a nurse to come here. I wouldn't want to risk her falling again on her way to the nurse."

"Fine... I'll be here." said the girl.

Weiss left to find the nurse. What an awful day. What an awful person.

After finding a nurse and directing her towards the girl who ruined her jacket, Weiss got her dorm assignment. She was now standing in front of her dorm room.I wonder if any of my roommates are here yet. I wonder how much they hate me. Weiss opened the door and stepped inside.

There was one person in the room. A girl with long yellow hair.

The yellow-haired girl introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Yang. Yang Xiao-Long." Yang stuck out her hand.

Weiss shook her hand. "Weiss". Weiss felt it best to leave out her last name. Weiss looked around the room. It's awfully small for four people. "Have you met our other roommates yet?"

"No." Replied Yang. "But I know one of them is my sister Ruby. She should be here soon. We were racing, but she must have gotten lost."

Weiss recalled that the girl who ruined her jacket mumbled something like 'Ruby.' "Black hair, red hoodie, black jeans?" Weiss asked.

"Yeah! You met her?" asked Yang.

"She ruined my $3,000 jacket! Also, I think she's got a concussion. She's with the nurse."

"THREE THOU- WAIT WHAT?!" Shouted Yang. "Where's the nurse?"

"Go to where you got your dorm assignment, go down the hallway to the right, and you should see a sign."

"Thanks!" Yang rushed out the door. "It was Weiss meeting you!" she shouted from the hallway.

I guess ruining my jacket wasn't enough for her…

Weiss had finished unpacking, and was enjoying some peace and quiet. Still no sign of our fourth roommate.

Finally the door opened, revealing all three of her roommates.

Yang stepped in first. "Heya Weissy. I hear you met Blake already… She uhh… Had some stuff to say about you."

Blake smiled looking right at Weiss. "It's important to know who your roommates really are." Of course she's my fourth roommate.

"And here's Ruby! Good as new!" Yang made a gesture towards Ruby.

Ruby gave a little wave. "Hi Weiss. I'm sorry for running into you. My memories still a little fuzzy, but thanks for helping me."

"Just stay away from me please." Weiss shut herself in the bathroom, needing some time alone. Weiss had been hoping to escape her family's legacy here. But it seemed Blake wasn't going to let that happen. Weiss pulled out her phone and made a call.

AN: Really struggled with this chapter. It went through about 3 near complete rewrites. First was Weiss's perspective but just didn't like how it turned out. Then I wrote it from Ruby's perspective, but I wanted to give Weiss's side another try. Still not quite sure how happy I am with it, but I really wanted to get another chapter out before Christmas, and this is likely going to be my last opportunity to do so in a while. So sorry if this chapter wasn't great.

Next chapter will probably be a short Summer chapter.
