Ruby/Jaune being the chosen one/s kinda requires a prophecy.

Hopefully Volume 2 clears that up. If there's no prophecy, then Ruby takes control of her fate and chooses herself as her own chosen one.

I really don't want her and Jaune to be the chosen one though. That's the only cliche I can't tolerate in fiction these days.

I think a more fun plot would be that if Ruby was the chosen one, yet she wants to avoid the call. It fits with her "I want to be normal" thing all the way back in episode 1.
