My thought process about Ruby's friends back at Signal is this: they were her friends then but they wont neccesarily be her friends then. A lot happens in two years and in that time Ruby will likely have made plenty of friends at Beacon and her old friends likely will have moved on. Besides which you got to remember Ruby got bumbed up a couple years, that kinda thing has an impact and i bet the whole "its not fair you got to skip 2 years and we didnt" thing will come up when they arrive. then there's everything Ruby herself have gotten up to even in the past few months (show time), her old friends won't have shared those experiences and they won't have had the chance to grow with her through them. In short, the old friends may appear, and they may be naive enough to think there's a chance at recconecting, heck Ruby probably is as well, but it wont happen, cause two years changes a lot
