(Oscar's pov)
(a/n Oscar will break the fourth wall Deadpool style. I thought it was funny :D)
*sigh* class is finally over! Hi! I'm Oscar Pine, a regular sophomore student at Beacon High! I have okay grades, a thriving social life, and a leather jacket. People tend to misjudge me because of the jacket. It's a Momento to my uncle, who died a year ago. I miss him, but he's with my parents now. They had died when I was eight years old. My aunt and uncle took care of me and got me where I am today. But enough backstory, let's get on with the story!
I walked out of math class, glad it was over. It was break time, so I wanted to relax until history class. I was talking with a classmate (can't remember his name) when someone called for me. It was Lie Ren, an upperclassman who was known for his quietness and wisdom. It was ironic because he has the most hyperactive girl in the school as his girlfriend. Her name was Nora Valkerie, she's the head cheerleader, is known for holding a world record for eating the most pancakes in a single sitting. She has the energy of a hummingbird who got into a pixie stick storage facility and got jacked on the stuff.
Anyway, I said bye to the classmate and went over to my upperclassman friend. "What's up?" I asked. "Weiss wants to see you," Ren responded. "Oh boy," I said. Weiss Schnee was a girl who I both feared and respected. She was a junior, and one of the smartest, coldest, most respected girls in the school. She has it all: Honor rolls, a place on the student council, full scholarship, the whole nine yards! What would that girl want with me?
"I don't know why she would ask for you but, she's waiting in the library. I need to go meet Nora," Ren said like he read my thoughts. He then disappeared into the crowd, leaving me wondering what I did to warrant one of the most powerful students in the school to call for me. In any case, I went down to the library hoping that the 'Ice Queen' wouldn't rip me a new one. I entered the library, expecting to be attacked at any moment.
But what I saw surprised me, and I became ten times as scared as I was before. Not only was Weiss 'Ice queen' Schnee waiting for me at a corner table in the library. There also Blake Belladona, she was known as the 'black cat of Beacon' mainly because of her cat-like appearance, (a/n there are no faunas or semblances) and whoever she gets mad at gets bad luck. There was also Yang Xiao-long, Beacon's boxing champion for two years in a row. She was on the verge of winning three years in a row, from what I heard she was training non-stop. These girls were the most feared students in the school and they were staring at me intensely.
I was beyond terrified, this was going to be the death of me. Weiss gestured for me to sit in the last available seat. I sat down, hoping and praying for mercy. "Oscar Pine, right?" Weiss asked I nodded. "you are not in any trouble." Blake said, reassuringly. "I'm not?" I asked. "Nope." They all said at once. "Why am I here then?" I asked. "We need your help," Yang said. "My help?" I asked. "Why would the most respected, feared, and capable girls in the school need the help of a Sophmore nobody like me?" they looked at each other. "You know Ruby Rose, right." I blushed, Ruby Rose was one of the most amazing girls in my year. She's in the cheer team, been moved a grade up, and was the most energetic girl in the school (aside from Valkerie).
But not only that, she was kind and beautiful, and cheerful, and just the most wonderful girl I have ever met. I do have a crush on her if it wasn't that obvious enough. "I do know her, why do you ask?" I responded. "My little sister has been off as of late," Yang said. "what do you mean?" I ask. "She hasn't been herself lately," Blake said. "She doesn't want to do any of the things we like to do," Weiss said. "It has been going on for a couple of months now. We want you to find out." Yang put in. "Ok, but why me?" I ask. "You're in the same year as her, we know you have a lot of classes with her," Blake answered. "That's true. Wait how do you know my schedule?" I asked. "We have our ways, now go to Ruby." Weiss urged.
After she said this the bell rang for the next period. The three girls left for their classes and so did I. Lucky for me, my history class was near the library and Ruby also had the class. So I decided to take a closer look. When I walked into the classroom I looked for Ruby. Sure as anything Ruby was there. She was smiling, but it didn't look real. I remember when I first saw Ruby. She was so happy and sweet, it was the reason why I fell for her. The light in her eyes was gone, she looked sad. I walked up to her. "Ruby?" I said. She jumped and looked around at me. "What is it?" she asked.
"Are you alright?" I asked. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Ruby said. I did not buy it. For those who don't understand girls, 'I'm fine' tends to mean 'I'm not fine, I need help.' don't ask how I know that. "Ruby, if there is something you need to talk about. I'm here for you, and your friends and family." I said reassuringly. Ruby looked me in the eyes, beautiful silver to forest green. The look on her face said 'help'. That look, in my mind I made a vow. No matter what I will protect you, my precious rose.
