    According to Ozpin, the first person you made I contact with was your partner, which is why I looked away from Ruby as soon as I could. There was no way I was getting paired up with her. I barely survived in the years we lived in the same house; I wouldn’t last a second in the same room. The next second I see another blur go past, this time golden. I began to debate with myself, comically lifting my hands in the process. On one hand (literally) I could have a skilled fighter on my team, but on the other hand having her on my team would mean I would have to put up with her for all of my years here. Whatever I chose I’d have to choose quickly, she looked like she was about to leave.it took every ounce of strength to resist shouting at her, yet I still yelled. 

    “YO YANG, I’M UP HERE!” As she turned around I suddenly realized that whomever I just shouted at wasn’t Yang at all. This could be a problem.

    “What did you just call me?” she said from below. She definitely looked angry.

    “Uhh, sorry I thought you were someone else!” I didn’t really want to deal with this right now “I think I’ll just leave now bye!”

    I started to run along the branches when I felt something tugging on my hoodie. At first I thought it was a branch but when I turned around I learned it was actually a grappling hook. A FREAKING GRAPPLING HOOK!?!? Yeah this was a huge mistake, but at least I was able to get rid of that stupid milk sticker.

    “Don’t even think about leaving! You heard what the professor, we’re teammates!”

    Why was I so unlucky?

    She detached her grappling hook and I slowly climb down the tree, suddenly regretting a lot of things. When I got down to the bottom I could see her weapon. It was some kind of gauntlet with several gadgets hooked up to it. Sadly I already knew what one of them did.

    “Do you think you could have stopped me without nearly ripping a giant hole in my combat clothes?” I ask

    “Of course I could’ve! But it was much more fun this way!” she replies gleefully, "well, I guess we better get introductions out of the way then!”

    “Sure, why not. I’m Diamond, who are you?”

    “If you don’t cheer up I might not tell you”

    Current annoyance level: little sister. Seriously this girl was starting to be a pain.

    “My name’s Maria and these babies,” she said, motioning to her gauntlets “Lucillia and Heartfile”

    Her gauntlets were black with silver streaks running along the side. There were several other colors as well, blinking lights with gold, blue, and red. As for the rest of her; she had short curly blond hair, bright green eyes, and a very pointing looking green necklace. She wore a green dress that cut off where her skirt began, there were also metallic pieces fashioned similar to her gauntlets on her shoulders and hips. The sunlight was pushing through the canopy of trees and hitting her at the perfect angle, she looked almost… dazzling. Honestly I don’t know how I mistook her for Yang.

    “Umm, are you okay? You’ve been just standing there for like a full minute”

    Uh-oh I guess I stared a little bit longer than I should have. My cheeks were probably redder than Ruby’s cloak

    Quickly I respond “Nope nothing bad here, I am perfectly fine, there is nothing at all wrong I promise”

    “okaaaay I guess we should get going then…”

    That was way more awkward then it should have been. I sigh; this was going to be a tough several years.
