Writefag - A Very Special Place (unfinished)

"All right Anon. New life at a new school. Hopefully it'll be better than back home"
>Yeah, that's me, Anon Y. Mous.
>Most of my friends call me Anon.
>Well, if I had any that is
>I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say, I wasn't with the "IN" crowd
>I wasn't even in a crowd
>Too much of a loser to be with the popular kids
>Not enough of a loser to hang with the nerds
>I was just me
>I moved to a small apartment here, in order to spend my senior year in Canterlot High School.
>My parents thought it would be better than to go to Detrot High.
>Hey, new beginnings right?
>Well, that's the idea
>Hmmph, this place seems pretty much the same to Detrot High
>Bunch of kids hanging around the halls, noise abundant everywhere, and th-
>What is that coming right t-
>"Coming through!!"
>With that little warning, I got tackled to the ground
>What a way to start the first day at school, minor bruising with a side of slight concussion
>"Oh my god! I-I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry an-"
>Jeeze did she keep talking
>Rubbing my head, I managed to regain my bearings and took a good look at my assailant
>She was still apologizing when I did look at her
>She wore a grey tee with a bubble design and jean shorts, looking like a typical teen
>But that's where it stops
>Her hair was golden blonde and her eyes of the same color
>Speaking of which, her eyes were crossed
>I couldn't tell if she was still talking to me or someone else

>I slowly rose to my feet, waving my hand to dispell any of her doubts
"It's fine. I should have been paying more attention"
>She was one to quickly accept my apology as she gave me a big hug
> I didn't expect this, and blushed as she did so
>"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was gonna get yelled at again..."
>Her mood switched from jolly to sullen instantly
"Hey, it was an accident after all. I don't have any reason to yell. Just be careful when you're running somewhere."
>I gave her a smile, hoping to brighten her mood a bit
>She gladly returned the smile as she nodded
>"Thank you mr..."
"Anon. My name is Anon Y. Mous. Nice to meet you."
>She smiled once more.
>"My name is Derpy Hooves. Nice to meet you too Anon. Oh no, I'm gonna be late again! I hope we can talk again! See ya!"
>As quickly as she arrived, she vanished
"Derpy huh? Well at least I talked to someone new. That's a good start."
>From what I can gather, things are gonna be fun at this new place.
>No matter what school you go to, classes still tend to be just boring
>Good thing I had a study hall right before lunch
>A nice hour to be alone with my thoughts, and maybe homework if I wasnt feeling lazy.
>A few of the kids were falling straight into those cliques just as I had thought
>The jocks were in one corner of the room, and the nerds in the others
>Neckbeards towards the back and preppy girls near the front
>Just about everyone or everything was in it's own group
>That is to say mostly everyone/thing
>I didn't belong to anyone of them
>This was beginning to become a repeat from last year
>Only one way to deal with this
>Keep it bottled inside and try not to flip out during school
>"Hey, why don't you look straight at me when i'm speaking to you?"
>I turned my head to look at the owner of the voice
>Is that...Derpy?

>"Didn't you hear me? Or are you as retarded as you look?"
>Damn, did that yellow chick really bring some harsh words
>Derpy shifted in her seat, her hands fiddling with the other
>She obviously didn't like what was being said, and I had to admit, it was kind of a low blow
>"Can't think of anything to say tard? I guess you really are dumber than you look"
>I could feel that one from here
>The yellow chick laughed proudly at what she said
>Derpy on the other hand didn't take it so well
>A small puddle formed on her desk that dripped from her face
>Yup, those were the waterworks.
>Okay, she definitely didn't deserve that
>All right, it's time to stop this
>As if on cue, Derpy got up from out of her seat and ran out of the room
>A trail of tears followed her as she did
>I really felt bad for her, considering I didn't see her for the rest of the day
>Maybe it was just a coincidence
>Finally, the school day was over
>Nothing too eventful happened, just a typical day at school I guess
>"Did you see that crossed eyed loser run out crying? One of my better works I hafta say."
>I just shook my head and walked down the front steps
>I wanted no part in that conversation
>Walking down the street, I saw nothing but kids walking about, going in an out of shops
>I should have suspected as much from a populated school
>"I can't stop! Watch out!"

"Huh?"
>I turned to face the source of the voice, only to find myself with a blur of gray charging into my body at full speed
"Did someone get the license plate number of that truck?"
>"Oh Anon! I'm sorry!"
>I shook my head, coming back to reality
"Derpy? We really have to stop meeting like this"
>I let out a soft chuckle
>"You're not angry...?"
>I shook my head once more
>I can't stay mad at someone like her
"No, of course not Derpy"
>She leaned and hugged me once more
>"Thank you so much! I think I'll run you over more often!"
"I guess I wouldn't mind that. Do people really scold you for that?"
>She sadly nodded her head
>"And not just that...I try to do good, I really do! But something always messes up...and i'm the one to blame..."
>I rose to my feet, dusting myself off as i did so
>I stuck my hand out, offering it to Derpy
>She let cracked a small smile and took the offer
>Helping her up, I offered to buy her something to eat
>She accepted it, on the grounds that she pays for her own meal
>Well, I didn't mind it.
>after all, she was a nice girl
>After taking shop in a small diner, I began to talk to her even more
>Over the nice snack, she told me that she's been picked on for her appearance
>And from the stories, she's sort of a klutz
>But she has also been trying her best
>I felt a bit sorry for her
>Trying your damned hardest only to be stopped by some sort of divine intervention

>After leaving the diner she gave me one more hug
>I kinda was taken by surprise
>And I felt a bit of blush tint my cheeks
>"Thanks for being so nice to me Anon. It means a lot..."
"h-hey. Its no problem at all."
>She let go of me before saying good bye
>She really was a carefree girl, and shouldn't have to deal with those jerks at school
>After walking a bit more, I reached my apartment
>I couldn't help but think about what she said earlier
>"Thanks for being so kind to me. It means a lot..."
>Really?
>No one has even talked to her?
>She doesn't seem to do the things on purpose
>They are exactly as they seem, accidents
>I yawned softly before retreating to my room
>Jeeze, time really flew by today
>I practically jumped into bed
>Things seemed to get a bit better, and maybe that golden haired girl was part of it
>One thing is for sure though
>Things are going to get real interesting in Canterlot High

>After spending a month here in Canterlot, I've learned many things
>One of those things is that no matter what kind of life you've had, someone has had it worse
>Sadly this was the case with Derpy
>I learned about this during one of the study hall periods
>Now study hall was just horrible
>That yellow chick, Sunset Shimmer I think her name is, just kept on harassing poor Derpy everyday
>And everyday it ended the same way, with Derpy running out of the room in tears
>Well I decided I should follow her, just to show her some support when others wouldn't
>Thing was, I really didn't get why, but I just felt terrible when people outright disrespected her
>I also felt angry, and shocked
>Maybe because she was really my only friend.
> Since day one, she was the only one to talk to me.
> And it seemed to be that I was the only one who talked to her like a normal person
>Maybe it was because we came from the same world
>Sort of
>Whatever the reason was, I felt the need to just help her smile whenever she got sad
>After a bit of tailing, I lost sight of her>Let me tell you, she moves faster than most of the kids in track
>I searched around the hall I last saw her in
>Not so much as a knocked over trash can
>I sighed softly in defeat, just hoping she was all right
>Tucking my hands into my pockets, I walked back to study hall
>Or I would have if something didn't catch my ears
>Just the faintest sound of a rattle in the...Janitor's closet?

>I slowly stepped up to the door, and put my ear against it
>Sure enough there was something making noise on the other side
>I gently tapped on the door, trying to get whoever's attention, I assumed Derpy.
>No answer, though the sound of someone sniffling did continue
"Derpy. It's Anon. I'm comin-"
>"N-no! Please...d-don't come..."
>Yup, that was her
>"Please...just..."
>Her voice cracked with what little she spoke
"Okay. Then I'll just stay out here. Does that sound fine?"
>Silence seemed to be my only answer
>It just killed me a bit
>"Why...?"
>I waited to see if she would say something else
>That was all she said, nothing more, nothing less
>All right, I thought to address the elephant in the room
"I..I'm sorry...I don't understand..."
