AJT - Highschool Drama

>You always contemplated the silly things
>It wasn't easy fitting in, nor was it fun to fail
>Did people like you?
>Did you like yourself?
>All these things are small and mellow-dramatic
>It only bothered you now because...You're now the new kid in town
>Getting a new job in Canterlot, your father moved you and your mother
>You dread this
>Being the new face always sucked for you
>Besides, you're gonna miss the few friends you had in your old town
>Your new home isn't so bad
>Bigger room, more yard space
>You hope the school won't be bad
>Your mom and dad do their best to reassure you that this will be for the best
>Hopefully they're right
>After a long day of moving in your things, it's dinner time
>Sitting in your new kitchen, you dine on some spaghetti
>Your father speaks up

>"Settled in?" he asks you

"I'm fine, just trying to sink in the fact we moved"

>"It'll get better, just you wait son"

 "Thanks dad, I'll try to get used to it"

>"Maybe you'll make some new friends dear" your mother chimes in

"Heh..yeah, maybe I will" you try to sound cheerful

>Later, you help your mother with the dishes
>Soon after, you retreat to your room
>At least some things weren't different
>Your new room was the same as your old room
>Every poster position
>Every nick-knack position
>It feels relaxing to sit at your desk
>Opening your laptop, you open a bottle of King-Kar lemon tea
>You peek outside your window
>Nothing but a beautiful view of your new home
>Canterlot
>Maybe this won't be so bad
>You could try to make actual friends here
>If not for yourself, you could do this for your parents
>You sip your drink and browse the internet
>Tomorrow was your first day at a new highschool so you don't want to stay up too late
>You mostly browse FaceSpace for the time being to see who lived in this town
>There was a new photo on your FaceSpace wall
>It was of your new home, and taken by your mother
>She tagged you and hash tagged the town
>Looking deeper into it, there's a page for Canterlot
>You forward the image to the Canterlot page
>Sitting back, you drink some more tea

>*Bling*

"Hmm?

>*Bling*

>Leaning forward you look at your laptop
>You have two new notifications
>You open it
>Some people liked the image on the page
>Someone commented
>Well now
>These must be some of the people living here
>A girl commented on the image
>Some Pinkie Ponk or something like that

>"Wow! New people! Like, you should totally hire me to throw you a welcoming party!!!1!1"
read the comment

>Clicking to reply, you let her know that'd be a swell idea in a joking kind of way
>Less than 30 seconds after replying, you get another

>*Bling*

>"OMGOMGOMG! I can totally do it! I'll stop by tomorrow after I leave my school!" Pinkie commented after your reply

>Welp,this can't be helped
>With that, you closed your laptop and plopped on your bed
>You fall into a blissful sleep
>Tonight felt like no other night
>It was as if a new start was in order
>Something rang in your head as you slept
>Don't be that damned shy kid from before
>Be the guy who your friends would walk up to in school and say good morning
>Be the guy who helps someone in need and is returned the favor
>Be the guy who is loved
>Be the guy who is counted on
>Be that guy who didn't know the feel of no friends
>Be cared for
>Sorry frog, but that spaghetti went in your stomach and not on the floor
>Then...there was peace
>Like nothing before mattered
>All you could see was darkness

>*Brzzt* *Brzzt*

"Huh?"

>You opened an eye
>Your phone's alarm was ringing
>Fumbling a bit, you manage to shut it off
>In an upright position, you sit up on the side of your bed
>You rub your eyes as your door opens

>"Hey son, ready for a new day?" You father stepped in

>Those words shocked into your mind
>A new day

"Y-yeah...Yeah! I'm ready dad!" you say excited

>"I'm glad son, now hurry and get ready, your mother made breakfast, I gotta head to work, it's a new day for me too"

"Thanks dad, see you later"

>You freshen yourself up in your bathroom
>With lots of time to spare, you get dressed
>It wasn't a funeral, so you settled with a normal tee-shirt, hoodie, and jeans
>You grab your bag and head downstairs
>The smell of eggs and bacon filled the kitchen
>Sweet, nothing like a good breakfast for a good morning
>Like a wolf, you scarf down that bacon

>"Whoa there, it's not gonna run away from you" Your mother chuckled

"Sorry mom" you say

>"It's fine, you just have a good day at school today, okay dear?" She says as she pinches your cheek

"Of course mom, thanks!"

>You finish breakfast and head outside
>There are only two highschools in town
>You'll start going to the one a few blocks away
>Canterlot High
>Oh geez
>You just remembered that Ponk girl might stop by today
>Hopefully your mother is okay at home while you're at school
>After a couple blocks, you see the school in the distance
>Your stomach is full of anxiety
>You don't know the first thing about making friends, what the hell were you thinking?
>Oh..That's right
>Your parents has done nothing but deal with you for your whole life
>You're a lonely, weirdo
>The few friends you had back at your old town weren't really friends but other losers
>Sad thing is that you drifted from them because they were getting comfortable with others
>You don't want to go home the same loser
>You don't want to disappoint your mom and dad
>If you succeed in this, then you'll actually have friends
>Well, let's just hope tha-

>"Oof!"

"Whoa!"

>You accidentally collided with someone

>"Oops! I'm so sorry, I should've been more careful"

>You bumped into a purple girl
>She dropped a stack of books along with her

"Oh no, It was my fault, I wasn't paying attention" you say

>Like the gentleman your mother raised you to be, you pick up her books and give out your hand

>"Thank you.." she says while taking your hand

>You help her up and return her books
>The both of you dust yourselves off

"Again, sorry..um?"

>"Twilight, I am Twilight Sparkle" She replies

>Here goes nothing
>You extend your hand out again

"Hi there, I'm new around here"
>Twilight shakes your hand and smiles
>A great weight has been lifted
>That went way better than you expected
>Maybe this purple girl could be your first friend

>"So you're new around here huh?When you move in?" She asks

"Just yesterday, I didn't really get a chance to meet anyone since I spent most of the day unpacking"

>"Well, Canterlot's a great place, friends all around" she informs you

>Friends all around
>Friends
>Score

>"Hello? New guy?"

"Huh"

>You were spacing out thinking about what she said that you didn't notice she was walking away

>"I said that if you're going to Canterlot High, you could walk with me and I could show you around"

>ThankTheKraut.avi

"Oh, yeah, thanks"

>The two of you trek forward to the large castle that is Canterlot High
>Students are all shuffling into the little entrance
>Good chunks of them were just hanging out by the large statue out front
>You could already spot some people at the side of the school smoking
>Whatever gets them through the day
>As you walk on, Twilight informs you of the school
>She tells you of its many fine elements that "outweigh" other highschools around the state
>You learn of the sports that they play here
>It sounds amazing that just one girl is captain of like every sports team
>Twilight mostly rambles on about the principle and how she's not like any other you'll meet
>She also mentions the assistant principle is the head principle's sister
>Well then
>You try to sound as convincing that you're not an introvert
>She asks about yourself and your life
>As cool as you can, you tell her that you used to play soccer but suck at it
>She giggled at your honesty
>You let her know right there that you're a geek
>You play video games, know how to work technology, etc.
>After a bit of talking, you change the subject to not bore her

>"You know, it's fine if you're into those things, you don't have to be ashamed" she tells you

>That tugged a heart string
>All your life, you've been ashamed of yourself
>It hurts to think about it, but that's why you have the internet
>There you could escape reality
>Twilight sees you lower head

>"Oh..I'm sorry if I offended you" she apologizes

"No, no, it's fine, thank you for your kindness, I just feel like I could be more than some nerd"

>Twilight looked down this time
>She looked like she was gonna kick the gravel

>"You know, I felt like you too once" she started "I was just some bookworm with no friends other than her big brother"

>She was opening up to you

>"I thought that I would never make friends, so long as I was just...some nerd"

>She took the words right from your mouth
>You were feeling bad, having mentioned it
>Then reassurance came

>"But now is different, I made friends, and they helped through things, I now understand I'm much more than just a nerd!" Twilight was beaming

>You felt so much better
>This purple-skinned girl just made your morning

>"Sorry for talking too much" she apologized

"It's fine Twilight, thank you for opening up"

>Twilight was smiling at you now
>This is for you mom

"Twilight, will you be my friend?"

>"I accept"

>Your stomach anxiety grew even larger now that you made your first friend
>Maybe this could be a fun day for you
>The two of you have reached the school
>This is it
>You know that making friends will not be easy
>It hurt just to make friends with Twilight
>But her can-do attitude was making you feel more comfortable
>You both passed through crowds of people at the entrance
>Your stomach was beginning to churn again around all these new people
>Luckily, Twilight was by your side
>Not wanting to look like a lost puppy, you give some space between Twilight and yourself
>A couple glances came your way, but nothing extravagant
>Avoid eye-contact is the best idea right now
>Twilight was keeping quiet among the chatter of students passing through
>You didn't want to pester her if she just didn't feel like exchanging further conversation
>Man, this place is regal as fuck compared to your last highschool
>Red curtains around large, thin, glass windows?
>It all seemed as though this place was taken from a kid's show
>Twilight led you to a door which read "Principle's Office"

>"Okay new guy, This is Principle Celestia's office, she'll give you your schedule and a school guide which comes with a small map of the school" said Twilight

"A small map? Sure looks like I'm gonna need it"

>"Don't be nervous, everyone was new at some point" she said as she rubbed your arm warmly

>You could see how sincere she is being

"Thanks Twilight, for introducing me here and such"

>"It's no problem, now hurry before-"

>*Brrriiiinnnggg*

>"Oh shoot!" Twilight said in frustration "That's the morning bell, sorry I can't help you further for now, I gotta head to class, see you around!" she said while light jogging to her class

>The nervousness was returning
>In front of you lie your new fate
>Let's hope you make a good impression
>You open the door slowly but surely
>No idea of what the principle was like
>Twilight's description made her seem as though she were some kind of goddess
>With the door open, you notice a beautiful dame, sitting at her desk, writing things away
>She glances up at you before lifting her head up to look
>At first she had a moment of thought, then she smiled

>"You must be the new student"

"Um..Yeah.." you say still unsure of things

>"You don't have to be afraid young one, I won't bite" she said with a slight giggle "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Principle Celestia"

>She stood up from her desk
>The first thing to catch your eye is her height
>She is much, much taller than you
>Principle Celestia's height intimidated you a bit
>Your head was up to par with her chest
>It felt weird

>"Please have a seat" she said as she motioned you to the chair in front of her desk

>You sit down, with the fear of throwing up
>Principle Celestia made her way next to you, which because of her height and you sitting down, made you feel even more short
>She placed a hand down on your shoulder
>It felt...comfortable

>"I'd like to personally welcome you to Canterlot High and hope that your time here in this school, is the best one yet"

"Thank you Principle Celestia" you spoke as you peered up to her beside you

>Principle Celestia moved to her desk and pulled pout a few things from a drawer underneath
>The contents she pulled out was a student planner, a small map of the school (Thanks Twilight) and a student guidelines sheet

>"Now, please take good care of these things," she started "They're key to helping you get used to things around here, read over them, and apply them" she said with a chipper voice

"Thank you, Principle"

>"Also, here is your schedule, you'll be needing it" she handed it to you

>You skimmed it a bit as she sat back down in her desk
>8 classes, two breaks, one lunch period
>Your first period class was a "Ms.Cheerilee"
>Principle made it very clear that in order to graduate highschool, you'd need to make all eight credits for the classes
>There were also set criteria for the school system
>Students would need one Gym credit, one Math credit, and one Language/Reading credit
>Fair enough

>"Now, if you ever have any concerns, questions....anything, please just let me know" she began "If anyone however is bullying you, or you find discomfort or know anything that could be a threat to anyone here, let the assistant principle know, her office is next door"

"Thank you for all the info. principle"

>"It is no problem, now you'd better hurry to first period, you're already late"

>With that, you get up to leave
>As you begin to open he door, Principle Celestia speaks up

>"Oh, and one more thing," she starts

>You look over to her

>"Goodluck out there" she says reassuringly

>You nod and walk out
>Taking out your schedule, you trek on to your first period class
>Here it is
>So far, so good
>Made a new friend, nothing is wrong with the principle, aside from her unusual height, nothing can get worse right?
>Opening the door, you already feel it
>Fuck
>Fuck, you hate that feeling
>That burning sensation of wandering eyes
>You already know everyone in the class is staring you down
>Why was it this way with schools?
>You slowly step inside
>There was your teacher, Ms. Cheerilee

>"Oh, hello dear! Come on in, you must be the new student" Ms. Cheerilee presented to the class

"Uh, yeah, that's me hehe.." you try to say with ease

>You already can hear the murmuring of students
>Fuuuuuuck
>Just try to tune it out
>Ms. Cheerilee spoke up

>"Well, I am Ms. Cheerilee, is there anything about yourself you'd like to say to the class?"

"Um..I'm new" you say trying to avoid being the center of attention

>"Oh c'mon dear, just something a little more specific" she was prodding

"Well...I can sort of play the guitar, but I'm not that good"

>What the hell was that?
>Guitar? Really?
>Well, it could've been worse
>You could've spilled spaghetti on the floor
>Ms. Cheerilee stepped up in front of you and faced the class

>"Okay class, it appears we have a new student! Why don't you all have give a nice warm welcome to our new friend!" said Ms. Cheerilee

>The class gave out a robotic "Hello,welcome"
>They sounded more bored than the time your internet went out
>At least no one threw you papers or made fun of your appearance
>The feeling of faces looking at you has yet to leave
>Ms. Cheerilee went over to her desk and gestured you to follow
>She pulled out a form from her desk
>It was a syllabus

>"Okay, you need to fill this out and have your parents sign it, it also has the list of materials you'll be needing for this class" she informed you
>Pretty basic stuff for starting a new class

>"Well, if there's anything you need, please feel free to come check me, I'll always be here during class time, and breaks, except for lunch"

"Thank you Ms.Cheerilee"

>"Oh, and as of today, you'll be sitting on that empty desk at the back next to Apple Jack"
>You look over to the seat she was referring to
>There you see it
>Next to the empty desk was quite the sight
>A beautiful, bodacious might you add, girl sit there
>She was fiddling with her pencil, looking like she was having a hard time
>You take a moment to admire her
>She has golden locks, that are nearly as bright as the sun outside
>You spot a small amount of freckles on those plush, cheeks
>This girl was dressed like a cowgirl
>She was wearing a denim skirt, with a white blouse to match
>Her leathery, brown boots were crossed with each other, indicating she was sort of bored
>If all of this wasn't enough, she was wearing a ranch hat
>That's new
>First a purple skinned, bookworm
>Now a southern girl, dressed from head to toe ready to do the hoedown
>You're already sweating in your hoodie, and the room is air-conditioned right now
>You walk over to your desk
>You could feel a bit of stares, but it died down a little
>Taking a seat, you meekly look over to the doll right next to you
>Her desk was to your left
>Not wanting to seem nosey, you only take a quick peep
>Huh?
>You look a little again
>From where you're sitting, it seems as though she's doodling nothings on her paper
>Stick figures
>Apple Jack takes notice
>She turns her head to you
>Oh shit
>You're in for it now

>"Well, Howdy there partner!" She speaks lending out a hand

>Wut
>Oh lord her accent
>It's like hearing a girl who has a lot of air passage through her mouth
>It's fucking beautiful
>You raise your hand to meet hers
>She takes it gradually
>Her grip on your hand is so tender
>You can tell she does a lot of labor
>If anything, the firmness of it makes you jealous

>"I'm Apple Jack" she announces to you

"Heh..like the cereal?" you say trying to break the ice

>"Erm..Sure, so you're the new kid"

"Mhmm, just moved in yesterday"

>"Well I sure hope ya'll are havin' a mighty fine time here in Canterlot"

"I hope so"

>You get a better view of what she was writing
>There were some questions written down
>The answers didn't really make sense to you
>Explain WWII
>Her answer was "So there were some folk who messed up bad, and they got angry, so they put down that Firtle Land guy, and everyone got mad?"
>The second question was How do you feel about The Great Depression
>Her answer was "I get all depressed a lot of times, I try to pick myself back up though, sorry if this isn't the right answer you were looking for miss, I'm not too bright when it comes to these things"
>Sadpuppy.exe
>Your heart just sank
>Now you just feel really bad
>AppleJack sees this
>Suddenly, you shoot your eyes back up to her
>She knows
>You know
>She knows you know

>"Uh..heh, guess you saw that huh?" AppleJack says

"Y-yeah..sorry for looking" you apologize

>"It's fine, ah know I'm not the best when it comes to these ol' books, but at least I know it's good enough to get a passing grade"

>As messed up as it sounds, you're surprised she's passing
>If her answers are like that on everything else, how the hell is she passing?
>Miss Cheerilee speaks up

>"Okay class, turn in your worksheets, finished or not," she looks at you "And of course you'll be excused for the day"

>Sweet
>Everyone, including AppleJack get up to turn in their work
>You take notice that AppleJack looks a little more concerned
>When she turns her work in, she gives Miss Cheerilee an "Ahm Sorry" look
>Miss Cheerilee just gives her a smile
>AppleJack returns to her desk
>Well sheeeit

>"Ah've got a pretty good feeling 'bout this one" she says confidently

"No doubt in my mind..hehe"
>Soon, you're prompted with the rest of the class to copy down notes
>As some time passes by, you look at your watch
>Based on your schedule, there should only be a few minutes left for class
>Miss Cheerilee starts writing down things on the chalk board

>"Okay class," she speaks "As of today, you will partner up with one other person, and together, complete this class project"

>Damn
>No one's gonna want to partner up with you
>You already see people exchange greetings and partnering up
>It seems now would be a good time to lay down your head
>Sorry mom, one friend seems like enough for today
>Someone taps on your shoulder
>Looking up reveals it to be AppleJack

>"Hey, wanna be partners?" she asks you

>Huh?
>Why was she asking you?

"Um..Wouldn't you prefer to be with some of your friends?" you ask

>"Oh c'mon new guy, ah won't bite ya, you need a partner if you're gonna pass this"

>She has a point

"Well..okay then, let's be partners"

>"Now that's more like it!"

>Just as son as those words left AppleJack's mouth, the bell rung

>*BRRIIIINGGG*

>"Okay class, tomorrow I'll give you the project information for you and your partners" said Miss Cheerilee

>You pack up your things and get ready to leave
>Miss Cheerilee stops you as the other students leave class
>She gives you a grin that looks forced

"Uhh...is everything okay miss?"

>"Everything is just fine," she cleared her throat "ahem, now I don't want to pressure you since it's your first day, but I couldn't help but notice that you're partnered up with AppleJack"

"Uh-huh, so what's the problem?" you ask

>"There's no problem, but AppleJack, is..well she isn't the smartest of students"

"But so far she's been getting good grades"

>You look down at her desk, to see the worksheets the class did before you entered
>You notice AppleJack got a 78%

"What about her work?"

>"Well..AJ is one of the nicest students you will ever meet around here, even though she's not too far when it comes to academics, she certainly does not lack in friendship

>This triggers you
>An opportunity is opening

"Okay..so what do you suppose I do?"

>"I've looked over your file, and it seems that you're a pretty smart kid"

"Heh..my reputation precedes me"

>What fucking reputation? That you're a nerd?

>"Anyways, Just please don't hurt her, or get annoyed with her, AJ is slow, but if you give her time, she'll start to understand, and if you play your cards right, she could be a good friend to you" she states

>Good friend
>AppleJack certainly wasn't mean to you
>Why should you be annoyed with a nice person like her

"I understand Ms. Cheerilee, you can count on me!" you assure her

>"Thank you very kindly, just get used to her southern acts okay? Now you'd better hurry along, it's first break, take the chance to look around and talk to people"

*Gulp* "Okay miss, thank you"

>With that, you see yourself out of the room
>Phew
>You just gotta help AppleJack
>She just needs a little nudge and she'll be writing essays like there's no tomorrow
>It's first break, now where do you go?
>A common urge reaches you
>You need to take a leak
>Perusing the area, you try to find the restroom
>A moment of thought reminds you
>You have a map
>Ah! Found it
>Making your way to the restroom, a few people bump into you
>Some people whisper to each other while pointing at you
>This isn't helping
>You take your trip to the restroom to look around
>There are vending machines scattered around this school
>Lots and lots of new faces
>It's gonna take some time to get used to the regalness of this school
>If you didn't know any better, you'd say this were a private school
>You notice some blue girl stuffing a little doggy bag full of what looks like..peanut butter crackers?
>She was rambling on about something
>Among the chatter, all you could hear her say was something like "I'm the late and sour-ful kid's cereal"
>Weird
>You finally find the restroom
>Stepping inside reveals three other students
>Ohfuckmylife.png
>Someone is getting bullied
>A rambunctious hooligan dressed in a leather jacket, with blue hair was holding some kid by the collar
>A stock bully was also standing next to them
>Well shit, it's just your first day
>The two bullies notice you

>"Hey, hurry and do your business and get out of here" the sonic looking fagoot said

"Uh.." you don't know how to respond

>"What? is your brain thick or something? I said scram!"

>He drops the kid and makes his way towards you
>He cocks his arm
>You brace yourself for a punch

>"Wait a second...you're new aren't you?"

"Y-yeah.."

>"Well consider this a welcome gift you punk!"

>At that moment, he strikes you
>It hurt like a bitch
>Ain't that a bitch?
>You fall over, a little woozy
>Fuck this guy
>You try to pick yourself up

>"Hey boss, didn't you hear Luna talking with her sister about the new kid being some smarty when you was in her office?" the stock bully asks the other

>"Oh yeah..You and me are gonna have a fun year new kid"

>*BRRRIIINNNGG*
>Saved by the bell...you think
>The two bullies look at each other and scramble out of the restroom
>Before you know it, the bullied kid leaves as well
>Shit..you were hoping he'd help
>Still stinging on the side of your face, you lift your body up
>You take a look in the mirror
>Oh fuck
>That guy got you good
>Now you have a cut on your cheek
>For fuck sakes
>It's your fist day here
>You can't fight for shit
>Sigh, now people are gonna think you're just a push-over
>But they would be right....
>Tears start forming around your eyes
>You knew from the start this wasn't gonna be good for you
>Why bother making new friends
>Twilight was so nice to you
>AppleJack is now your partner for class
>But they don't know you
>Twilight sort of has the right idea of you, but she's still far off
>What good is living on, trying to get good grades, and making friends if in the end, that's all you'd be known for
>Who's going to remember you for saving the world from dark magic while in a harem with two magicians
>Who's gonna remember you for kissing your best friend the night before going on a trip with her
>Who's gonna remember you for being a notorious racer or car tech. employee
>So many others has done better than you
>All you have to show is a messed up face on your first day
>Whylive.jpeg
>Might as well just keep on going until the day ends
>You wash the cut, it's still bleeding but not as much
>You pick up your things and leave the restroom
>Guess getting your face messed tends to change your mind about using the restroom huh?
>Hang in there, you've got spirit kid
>A famous writer once said "Will update later"
>Pulling out your map, you make way to your next class
>The hallways are empty now
>Sigh, now you're late
>With a pep in your step, you make it
>You just want today to end
>Stepping into class reveals a slender-like man writing on the chalk board
>He looks over to you
>So does the class
>Looking over him, you see he is palish grey, with cold, yellow eyes
>He smiles at you

>"You're the new student Miss Cheerilee has told me about? Aren't you?" the teacher asks

"Um..I guess so" you say looking to the side, to avoid showing your new mark

>"Well then, I am Mr. Discord, and I am your science teacher now, please, take a seat over there where it is free, and we can continue on our lesson"

"Okay sir"

>As you walk, Mr. Discord asks you a question

>"My dear boy, at your old school, did they teach you about relationships?"

"Like...chemical and molecular relationships? Yeah.." you answer

>"No no, I mean, the relationship of everything, people, art, everything'

>You're not sure how to respond to that

"I..I guess not.."

>"Hoo-hoo haha, then we're going to have lots of fun this year" he replies grinning

>You take your seat
>You hear a little whimper then look to the person sitting at the same science table as you
>It's a girl
>She looks unsure of you then tries to greet you

>"H-hello..I..I'm Flutter..shy.."

"I'm sorry, did you say Shutterfly?" you ask, unsure

>"Um..sure..if that's what you want.."

"Erm...I'm not correct am I?"

>The girl meekly nods

"Could you correct me?"

>"It's um..it's Flutter..shy" she says once again trailing off

"Fluttershy?"

>"Mhmm.."

>Well that was awkward as fuck
>Not the whole name thing
>The conversation itself
>It's like she's afraid of you
>The only people ever afraid of you were children
>Apparently you're scary looking to them
>The girl hides behind her bangs as you contemplate
>Then you catch yourself

"Oh...Um, Hello there..Fluttershy, It's a pleasure to meet you" you say

>Maybe you could make another friend
>Fluttershy comes out of hiding a bit
>She raises her hand slowly
>Her yellow sweater was big and poofy
>It covered half her palm
>You take the hand gradually
>I think I used that word twice now
>You look the lining of her sweater
>It's not just one yellow
>It's completely covered in different shades of yellow
>You can't tell with the naked eye, but looking closely, it kind of looks like there's fifty shades of it
>Why are you looking at the lining?
>Her hand is so smooth
>It's so soft
>If anything, it's the complete opposite of AppleJack's
>Even the fabric of her sweater is soft
>Your hand feels so comfortable
>It doesn't feel right to let go of the hand
>But you have to
>Oh well
>You release her hand

>"You should really copy down those notes...Mr. Discord is a very nice man, but he doesn't like failing students" Fluttershy informs you

>You do so
>Pulling out a notebook, specified for this class, you jot away
>After a while of copying, you look over to Fluttershy
>Wut
>She's already finished with her notes
>Dam Sung
>She notices your staring
>She turns over to you
>Fluttershy then gasps

>"Oh my.." she says worriedly

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

>Maybe it was your damn staring, you lifeless geek
>Fluttershy retreats to her bag
>She pulls out a handkerchief
>Whytho.png
>Fluttershy then brings it to your face
>She wipes willingly on your cheek
>Huh?
>This feels..good, but what's happening

>"I'm so sorry, but I just noticed you have a gash at the side of your face" she starts "It's been bleeding"

>Oh fuck
>How long has it been going down?
>You thought you washed it enough o it wouldn't bleed
>That asshole must've gotten you good
>You begin contemplating your life
>It's only your first day
>You cannot stress this enough
>What the hell?
>This is the type of shit that you see in the movies
>The whole dull male main character
>No chance with the ladies
>New kid in school
>Fight in the first day
>Meets special girl characters who befriend him even though he's antisocial as fuck!
>It's so....Old Fashioned
>Now, there's a shy girl wiping your bloodied cheek
>All because you didn't leave the restroom when that blue hedgehog, haired freak told you to
>Well God damn
>You just want to make friends so your parents won't feel like they failed you
>Fuck you right?
>You also just want to pass through the school year
>Why can't you be more like your brother?
>Did you mention you have a brother?
>He's so much cooler than you
>Popular in highschool
>Had friends
>Went to college
>Joined the military
>Now he writes you stories about his escapades serving the country
>It sounds fun
>Sigh
>You look up at Fluttershy

"Thank you very much" You try to smile

>"Oh, it was no problem...how did this happen?" she asks you

"I won't lie to you Fluttershy, some guy in the restroom socked me in the face"

>Might as well come clean

>"O-oh my...Maybe you should tell Vice Principal Luna"

"I don't know what I'll do, I'll see about it later, for now, I'd like to get through with today"

>Fluttershy takes her hand away from your face
>She stuffs the blood soaked handkerchief into a little ziplock bag
>You return to your notes
>Suddenly, Mr. Discord yells out

>"CLASS!"

>This gets everyone's attention

>"IF WE ARE ALL MADE OF CELLS, THEN WE ARE NEVER ALONE RIGHT?" the weird teacher asks

>The class mumbles a bit before everyone agreeing

>"SO, I FIGURE WE DO A PROJECT ABOUT OURSELVES AND HOW WE RELATE TO SCIENCE THROUGH CELLS"

>The class just goes along with it
>He then speaks up once more

>"Oh-ho ho, also, I'd prefer i if you young cell masses were to pair up with another cellular mass"

>At that moment, you slowly turn your head towards Fluttershy
>She looks up at you
>Your eyes meet
>Fluttershy then gives you a weak smile
"Wanna be...my cellular partner?" you ask

>Muh spaghetti
>Fluttershy's face shows a tinge of red

>"That would be..nice" she replies

>Mr. Discord writes down the project info. on the chalk board
>Two projects in 1 day huh?
>Fluttershy and you copy down the info. into your notebooks
>Something hits you
>Fluttershy seems really nice
>Maybe you should ask her to be friends?
>Hang out later?
>That seems too forward, nevermind that
>Why couldn't you be born with your brother's confidence?
>It's too early to leave, and too late to back out of befriending Fluttershy
>At that moment, Fluttershy and you knew that you'd be partners for this assignment
>This day so far has been a spiral, and it's only second period
>Taking a quick glance at your wristwatch, you notice class is nearly over
>You take this bit of free time to look over the room
>It seems like a normal classroom
>Chemistry equipment in one area
>Computers on another
>Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary here, save for a few bizarre things
>Mr. Discord's desk has some weird nick-knacks on it
>There are six...ponies?
>Why would he have six pony figurines on it?
>Even more odd, three of the ponies have manes that horrifyingly resemble Twilight's. AppleJack's, and Fluttershy's hairstyles
>Maybe that jerk hit you a little too hard
>Another look to your watch
>Just fifteen more minutes
>Fluttershy was writing things onto her notebook
>After what happened with AppleJack, you think it'd be best not to peek at Fluttershy's
>You hear giggling coming from the front of the class
>It's Mr. Discord
>He's giggling at something on his laptop
>Lord he's a weird fellow
>He could make this year not boring for you though
>Yet another look at your watch
>Four minutes now
>You pack up your things into your bag
>Hiking up your hoodie sleeves,you stretch out
>Boy what a first two classes
>None of the material is hard at all
>The drama building up however, might become problematic
>You decide to shrug this off
>Any minute now the bell sho-

>*BRRRRIIIIIINNNGGG*

>Ah, there it is

>Mr. Discord stood up

>"Alright class, good lesson today, don't forget about this "chaotic" assignment, and have a good lunch" he spoke

>Fluttershy picked up her things

>"It was nice meeting you...you should a-add me on..facespace..for the project!" she said abruptly before leaving the class

>Girls be cray
>You make way for the door
>Mr. Discord stops you

>"I hope you'll settle in young man" said Mr. Discord

"Of course sir, thank you"

>"Oh and one more thing, I notice you speaking with Fluttershy"

"Oh, yes, she's very nice and kind"

>Where was this going?

>"Just know young man, if you ever cross her the wrong way, I'll smash your hands"

>Gulp
>What?
>Is he like her dad or something?

"Y-yes sir" you say before finally leaving

>You hear an audible laugh coming from the room
>God what the hell is up with this place?
>Lunch
>You take out your phone and open the FaceSpace app
>Going through your little notifications, you add Fluttershy
>Almost immediately, she accepted your request
>That was incredibly fast
>You're not complaining
>It feels gratifying to have new friends
>Your cheek still stings but Fluttershy helped with that
>This cut won't kill you so you decide to avoid going to the Nurse's office
>Floods of students fill the hall
>As you walk by, three Freshmen looking girls rush into you by accident
>None of you fall thankfully
>You didn't want to deal with the eyes of people staring at your fall
>You can't imagine these girls would either
>They apologize as they get ready to leave

>"S'cuse me mister!" The red headed girl with the bow said as she went on

>"Pardon me sir!" The powdered looking one said gracefully while she followed suit

>The last girl who looked like a tom girl just stood there for a moment
>You were shrugging as she stared at you

>"Scootaloo!" yelled the red headed girl

>Tom girl snapped back into reality as she booped your hip and ran off
>What?
>Ignoring that, you make way for lunch
>Food does sound good right
>What a rush of a day so far
>You pull out your map
>It sort of feels funny having it
>It makes you feel like the newbie more than it should
>Everyone else is accustomed to the school so you're the only one peering down at your map
>Aside from the Freshmen, except no one pays attention to them
>Following the map, you head over to the cafeteria
>A poster on the nearby wall indicates it's Taco Tuesday
>Oh boy
>You step through the double doors
>Rows and rows of lunch tables
>Lots of students here
>Makes sense since it's a public High school
>Yet, it's all so well kept, and clean
>You shake away from the school interior thoughts
>The lines for lunch were forming
>Yourself included in the line
>So much chatter filled the cafeteria
>None of it towards you
>As you waited in the line, your eyes scanned the room
>Nice lunch room, no litter
>Best of all, the sun illuminated the room, rather than needing the use of lights
>You tried not to look anyone directly, in fear of looking weird
>Not only that, you tried to steer clear of that blue haired fag
>Rubbing your cut, it dried up by now
>Your sights are set upon an empty table by the large windows
>Maybe when you're sat down, you can listen to some of your tunes
>Grabbing a lunch tray, you ready to get some food
>As you come up the line, you take notice of the lunch
>Regular tacos
>Wait a minute
>These tacos look pretty damn good
>Crispy looking shells
>Juicy, nicely colored ground beef
>They even have a topping bar
>There's no fucking way this school has a normal fund system
>Maybe drugs are involved?
>hehe..save the theories for later
>You get your taco
>A feeling of emptiness fills you as you sit down alone at the table
>Right next to your table at the wall was a vending machine
>You could go for a soda
>Pulling out your wallet, you scramble for a couple quarters
>Some choices cross your eyes
>ParaSprite
>Dr. Redheart
>Gypsi Cola
>....Water
>You settle for some Coke
>Sitting yourself down again, you pull out your phone
>Time for some music
>Before you could even unlock your phone, an audible sound of trays slamming on the table ring your ears by surprise
>Looking up reveals those three girls from earlier
>The powdery looking one spoke up

>"Um, sorry sir, do you mind if we sit here?"

>She has an awful lot of mannerism
>Don't girls her age by this point in time stay glued to their phones and scoff at any moment of courtesy?
>These girls don't dress like girls today though
>They dress...kind of appropriate actually
>You're also grateful that she asked, rather than just rudely take the table

"Not at all, please, have a seat" you say

>The girl gave a warm smile
>She and her friends sat down from across you
>The interest you had in listening to your music, was now gone
>Putting your phone away, you begin eating
>That nagging feeling of stares return
>The source was directed back to the tom girl looking one
>The girl who booped you earlier
>Looking up from your tray half-way to not look suspicious, there you saw her
>She hasn't even touched her taco
>You could clearly see that she was looking at you
>It was uncomfortable
>Maybe she was looking at your cut?
>You feel your cheek to make sure the bleeding didn't continue
>Still dry
>What was it on your face that she kept staring at?
>Trying to concentrate on your taco, you overhear their conversation

>"Scootaloo" started the red headed one "Yer starin' again"

>You recognize that accent
>It reminds you of AppleJack
>You suppose the tom girl's name is Scootaloo since that's what she was called twice now

>"Huh?...OH!" Scootaloo gasped "M-my bad!"

>Peering up, you notice Scootaloo's face was flustered
>Her skin color made her blush look purple
>It doesn't seem like she meant any harm

"It's fine, don't worry about it" you say reassuringly

>"You'll have to excuse Scootaloo, she can space out sometimes hehe" spoke the powdered one

"No offense taken from it, I hope there's nothing wrong with my face heh"

>Nice ice breaker

>"N-no..your face is great-" Scootaloo nervously musters

>Everyone at the table looked up

"Umm..."

>Visibly, Scootaloo was panicking

>"I um...I mean..uh.."

>"What Scootaloo MEANT to say was..that there isn't a thing wrong with your face" powdery one tried to cover up

>"Y-yeah! She was probably lost in thought is all" the red headed one followed

>Scootaloo gave a sigh of relief
>The other two tried to smile innocently
>You decide to go along with it
>These are Freshmen, it's quite obvious
>They don't seem like the cruel teenage shits that most girls are today
>Maybe you can entertain this
>If it goes how you think it will, you won't end up with a another mark on your cheek
>Here goes nothing
>Putting on a semi-confident look on your face, you speak up

"Oh, well I was about to say, your face is great too-"

>The girls stop dead in their movements
>Before they could react, you finish your sentence

"-Scootaloo..Is it?" with a half smirk on your face

>On the outside, you looked casual and smooth
>On the inside, you were spilling spaghetti for days
>Your face was burning up
>Why did you even say that?
>Suddenly, Scootaloo faints
>You didn't mean for that
>The red head starts fanning Scootaloo with her hands
>Powdery one speaks up again

>"Heh, sorry sir, I think Scootaloo's just smitten by you"

>Smitten?
>By you?
>You look around behind you
>They can't mean you
>Maybe they have you confused with someone else
>You pinch yourself
>Not a weird ass dream
>WAIT THE HELL UP
>DID YOU JUST CAUSE A FRESHMEN TO FAINT
>No one has attacked you yet
>These girls don't look like they're gonna slap you
>Geez
>This wouldn't be so weird for you if you weren't some introvert
>Powder speaks again

>"Uh anyways, I'm Sweetiebelle" she introduces herself

>She motions towards the redhead

"This Applebloom, and well I guess you already know this is Scootaloo"

>This isn't as bad as you thought it would be

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" you say extending your hand

>Sweetiebelle takes your hand
>Hers is so soft
>So smooth
>You love the way her hands feel
>Shame you have to let go
>It'd be too weird
>Pulling away, you smile
>Now that you've been aquainted, you continue on your taco
>Hang on a second

"Wait, so you're Applebloom?" you ask

>"That's right pardner!" Applebloom answers before taking a bite out of her taco

"So..are you by any chance related to Applejack?"

>Applebloom lit up for a second

>"That's mah sister! Do you know 'er?"

"Haha, yeah, I just met her today in class, I'm new here actually"

>"You're new!? So that means none of us are familiar with this place!" Sweetiebelle pipes up

>"Hey, yeah! We could all work together as a team" spoke Applebloom

>A team?
>What do they mean?
>Sweetiebelle continued

>"Applebloom, Scootaloo, and I have formed a group in elementary called The Crusaders"

>The Crusaders?
>Now that's just adorable

>"So whaddya say Mister, wanna be apart of The Crusaders?" Applebloom offers

>You feel that this day has progressed so well so far

"I'd be delighted to"

>Sweetiebelle and Applebloom smile at you
>After a brief moment, Applebloom wakes up Scootaloo
>You properly introduce yourselves
>Scootaloo apologizes for what happened, unaware that Sweetiebelle said she liked you
>All of you begin eating as "The Crusaders" of Canterlot High
>Scootaloo then brings up the only skirmish of the day so far

>"What happened to your cheek?" she asks

"Huh? Oh...Uh, it's nothing, I just, walked into the door at the restrooms" you try to cover

>It fails

>"A thang I picked up from Applejackis her honesty, you shouldn't lie about this, we're all friends now!" Applebloom intervenes

>"Yeah! You're a Crusader now, we look out for each other!" Scootaloo speaks up

>"That's right, you can tell us anything, that's what The Crusaders do!" Sweetiebelle

>Oh geez
>These girls don't mean harm
>They mean really well
>You're still new to all this
>It feels strange to have them all attentive to you
>That's what friends do you suppose
>They do care for one another
>Besides your immediate family, you can't really say you've felt this before from anyone
>Maybe telling the truth won't be so bad

"Well...I.."

>The girls are staring at you like cameras to a scene
>You have their full attention
>This feels...good
>It makes you feel fuzzy inside

"I..I got punched by someone in the restrooms..."

>The girls gasp

>"You got into a fight?!" Scootaloo asks

"Uh..no, There was a kid getting bullied, and I didn't want to leave the restroom, so I got hit in the face by some guy"

>You've never been in a fight
>Can't imagine that you'd last more than a punch anyways

>"Well, do you at least know who did it?" asks Sweetiebelle

"No..All I know is that he has blue hair" you answer

>"Ya'll don't think..?" Applebloom says

>"No, it couldn't have, could it?" replied Sweetiebelle

"Um..what are you guys talking about?"

>"We were just pondering who could've done this"

"I don't know, all I do know is that now I got this gash on my cheek, but it could be worse"

>"When ya do find out, make sure to report it to Vice Principle Luna" Applebloom told you

>It was good to have some sort of support on your back

"Thanks guys, for your concerns" you say, grateful

>"It's no worry, it's what we Crusaders do!" Scootaloo replies

>With that, you smile before taking another bite of your taco
>A sip of your soda insures you that your troubles are far away
>Things are well now
>You've made friends
>Maybe this year will continue down this wonderful path
>Just then you feel a tap on your shoulder
>A glance behind your shoulder reveals a familiar face
>A smiling, purple face was looking down on you
>Those eyes, behind spectacles

"Twilight!" you start "Hey there, how are you?"

>"I'm doing fine, how was your day so far?" she asks while readjusting her glasses

>You decide to leave out the beating you took

"My day has been going great actually, I met some people, and I met these girls over here" gesturing to The Crusaders

>Twilight looks over

>"Oh, hey girls!" Twilight waves over

>The girls all reply in unison

>"Hi Twilight!"

"You guys know each other?" you ask

>"Mhmm, I sort of tutor them, and I'm friends with their sisters" Twilight replies

>"Twilight's the best, she can teach anything!" Applebloom says

>Twilight blushes before putting away her glasses

"Oh, um, Twilight, please have a seat" you motion towards the empty space next to you

>"Why thank you" she says

>Twilight places her hand on your shoulder before taking the seat next to yours
>She pulls a package out of her satchel
>It's Sandwich Prince package
>Her lunch is Sandwich prince
>Smells delcious
>Twilight immediately begins to scarf the food down
>Jesus this girl has an appetite
>She begins eating vigorously
>It's pretty impressive
>Twilight notices you gawking at her
>She wipes her face with a napkin

>"Oh, I'm sorry, that wasn't very ladylike of me" she apologizes

"No no, it's totally cool, I just never seen people enjoy food like you do" you say reassuringly

>Twilight smiles and begins to eat again

>"So feller, how was your first day so far?" Applebloom pipes up

>All of the girl's attention return back to you

"Well uh..Like you three already know, I met Applejack in my first period"

>Twilight perks up

>"You met Applejack already? That's great!" Twilight says

>It is liberating to know all these people
>It's all happening so fast
>You're not complaining though
>It'd be great to go home and tell your parents that you've met new friends

"Yeah, she was very honest and nice, I'm also her partner for a project"

>"Are ya'll talking 'bout me?" a familiar southern voice speaks

>Applejack comes by with her lunch tray

>"Howdy everyone!" greets Applejack

>Everyone exchanges greetings with Applejack

>"I see ya'll met my new partner for our fangled project" says AppleJack

>"It's such a coincidence that we all met the same person isn't it?" asked Twilight

"Or maybe it's a good thing" you say taking a bite of your taco

>They all look at you
>They all exchange a smile with you
>This is good..isn't it?

>"I certainly can't wait for you to meet the rest of the gang" Twilight tells you

>Rest of the gang?
>She wants you to meet more of her friends?
>This idea sits in your head on a fence
>The more friends the merrier right?
>Still though, you don't know how to deal with these friends, is it too early to gain more?
>When in doubt, square up

"I can't wait" you reply

>"Three of them are actually busy right now, but two others should be coming over any moment now" says Twilight

>Jesus Christ
>Twilight, Applejack, Scootaloo, Sweetiebelle, Applebloom, AND five more!?
>It's a lottery for friendship
>Still, it can also be a minefield
>Despite how well things are going along with these new people, you don't really know a thing about them
>Not to mention you met Fluttershy as well
>You really don't want to look at a bad side of this, but you don't really know anything about these girls
>Applejack is a southern girl who's struggling in her classes with a sister, but she could be a killer
>Scootaloo was smitten by you sure, but she was probably thinking about skinning your face
>Wait a second!
>Now just calm down
>It's the paranoia speaking
>These are graceful, innocent girls who want to befriend you
>Not only that, they want to introduce you to more friends
>Oh geez
>Seriously, fuck social emotions
>You're extremely grateful
>Just a little nervous is all
>In fact, every friend you made so far is a girl
>Weird that you haven't made a single dude friend
>Now you're at a table full of them
>You're still not complaining
>It is odd though
>The only guys you met so far were very unpleasant
>Seriously, fuck that blue haired guy
>Fucking generic Sonic
>Why does every school have a stock bully?
>This couldn't be more old fashioned
>Could be worse though
>You take a sip of your soda to calm your nerves
>Just gotta avoid that guy for the rest of the year
>Maybe after school, you can go sight seeing

>"Oh hey Fluttershy" Twilight greeted

>Fluttershy?
>You turn your head to see Fluttershy sit down with her tray
>She looks surprised to see you
>You weren't expecting to see her so soon either
>Don't be awkward, say hey

"Hey Fluttershy, fancy seeing you here"

>Smooth as a dragon dildo

>"You met Fluttershy already? Wow, you work quick" Twilight pats your shoulder

>Fluttershy blushes
>Everyone else greets her

"Yeah, we met in science"

>"S-sorry about your cheek" Fluttershy meekly says

>No one noticed it until now
>The rest of the girls look to your face
>There's the feeling again

>"What in tarnation happened there? That sure wasn't on your face when I saw you this mornin'" Applejack speaks up

>Twilight nods in agreement
>"Yeah, what happened to you?"

>You try to brush it off

"Nothing, it was just a little bump"

>Cole Phelps would slap you
>Don't thank the academy because you suck at acting

>"He said he got punched by some guy" Scootaloo pipes up

>You shoot Scootaloo a small glare
>She retreats behind her taco
>Twilight examines your cheek further

>"He must have hit you pretty hard"

>Good work detective

"Yeah, but Fluttershy wiped away most of the blood when it was gushing"

>"Wow, Nice work Flutters!" Sweetiebelle said to Fluttershy

>Fluttershy's face went completely red

>"I-it was nothing..r-really..was just trying to be...helpful" She was hiding behind her bangs

>"Do you know who did this?" Applejack asks

>Before you could answer, Applebloom spoke up

>"He said it was a guy with blue hair sis'"

>"Blue hair?" Twilight started "It couldn't be who we think it is could it?"

>The pronoun game

>"That's what we were thinking!" Sweetiebelle said

>"Was he wearing a leather jacket by any chance?" Twilight asks you

"Y-yeah..he was" you answer

>"UGH, I knew it" She replied frustrated

"Um..who is 'he'"

>Applejack answered

> "Flash Sentry"

"Flash Sentry?" you ask

>"Y-yeah...he's my ex" Twilight answers

>Ex boyfriend huh
>How fucking cliche can this get?
>Your first day, you meet a beautiful girl, and you get socked by her ex boyfriend
>What's next? A ski competition? A karate tournament?

>"Listen..I'm sorry he hurt you, he's a real jerk"

>A stinging sensation returns to your cheek
>It's been half a day yet it feels like a thousand years already passed by

"It's fine, if the bell didn't ring when it did, he probably would've did more"

>You try to shrug it all off with a light chuckle
>Another sip of your soda for reassurance

>"It isn't fine, I don't know what I saw in him," she starts "He bullies every guy I talk to, and he's just- ugh"

>This isn't your department
>The closest to a relationship you had are dating simulators
>They don't turn out like this
>You have to change the mood somehow

"Hey! He doesn't know I talk to you yet, I'm just gonna avoid him anyways"

>"What were you doing in the restroom that would've made him punch you?"

>No need to ponder

"Nothing at all," you take another sip "He was bullying some kid and I didn't want to leave so he punched me"

>Twilight was obviously getting angry because of this

>"Are ya'll thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Applejack asks

>The girls nod in agreement
>You play along to not feel like the odd one out

>"We need to get back at him!" Twilight announces

>Oh fuck
>Oh fuck no
>No no no
>Shit
>If there's anything you know about drama, it's that in real life, this shit doesn't end well for the under dogs
>The girls seems so willing though
>Can you really talk them out of this
>Should you?

>"Well, if there's anyone else we need fer this, it's definitely Sunset Shimmer" Applejack says

>"Who needs me?" A cougary voice trails from nearby

>"Speak of the devil" Twilight says

>"That was only one time!" the girl says

>Sitting at the table with the rest of you now was a girl in leather
>She had fiery hair, that for some reason, reminded you of bacon, but looked nothing like it
>This girl looked laid back
>Like a biker chick
>Suddenly, Applebloom spoke up

>"We need yer thinkin' skills to help us get back at Flash!"

>"Flash? What's he done now?" Sunset asked

>"The question is, what hasn't that rascal done, we made us here a new friend, and Flash already gone and hit him" answered Applejack

>Sunset's attention diverted to you
>She looked as if she took a moment to think

>"Okay, I'm in"

>The rest of the girls cheered as the idea was being accepted
>Sunset spoke to you

>"Hi there, I'm Sunset Shimmer, I hope you haven't heard things about me yet"

>You wonder what that means
