(Author's Note: There is a perspective change here (Octavia's POV) and will be several throughout the story. Just a heads up.)
I bolted upright in my bed in a cold sweat, my heart racing at a million miles an hour. Oh thank god it was just a dream.Just a dream. I stood up stretching as i walked to open my window. The snow fall had slowed down,which was a good thing because i never liked the snow to reach to far above my hooves.
"Octavia! Time for school!" My mother called out from downstairs.
"Alright mom! I'll be down in a minute!" I called back to her as i opened my window and stared out at the oak tree in front of it. I always loved a more natural setting, but this was probably the only tree in this city.
I sighed realizing that i had to start school today, and knowing how things went at my last school, I was less than enthusiastic. Well maybe it won't be as bad as I'm making it out to be. Who knows, maybe some pony will appreciate my talents and be my friend. For once.
I turned to walk away but something caught my eyes, a few red drops within two distinct hoof prints in the snow outside on my window seal. No way, how could... Pull it together Octavia, no need to be acting like a crazy pony. I slowly walked over to my closet and grabbed my bow tie and a scarf then trotted down stairs.
"The bus is waiting Octavia." My mother said as she fitted my bow tie and wrapped my scarf around me.
I sighed." I know mother. I love you." I placed a kiss on her forehead before rushing out to the bus. This was my first time riding on a bus with more than a few students, but i bet it's the same way here that it was there. A literal hell on wheels. I climbed aboard and looked for a seat, only spying one near a dark blue pony in an outrageously tall wizards hat. No sooner had I placed a hoof onto the seat, i was floated up and slammed against the window.
And the shit begins
"You think you can just sit next to me? Don't you know who I am." Well other than a stuck up bitch I had no idea. "No random lowlife like yourself can just plant her fat flank next to the Great and Powerful Trixie!"
Ok, add showoff to my previous guess.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know..." I said as stood up, blood dripping from my nose.
"Sorry!? Sorry doesn't cut it you little runt!" Trixie screamed as i was once again slammed against the window. "Now tell Trixie your sorry the right way."
i stood up shakily, wiping more blood from my muzzle. "I-i'm sorry, Trixie."
"No! Say it with me, 'I'm sorry Great and Powerful Trixie, for ruining your day and being a worthless and miserable runt."
"I'm sorry Trixie that you are such a stuck up bitch and love to lick your own flank at night." Some pony called out from the back of the bus, but no one dared to take claim of nor laugh at the comment. "That about sums it up, right?"
Trixie jumped up and spun around in her seat. "WHO DARES SAY SUCH THINGS ABOUT THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!" She demanded in an over exaggerated Royal Canterlot Voice.
"OK, all of you sit down and shut up!" The driver called out. "No talking til we get to school. Trixie, you and the new girl there are getting written up!"
"W-what did I do!?" I looked around and sat in the seat next to a small filly who's name was Twist. Easy to tell when your wearing a shirt with your name on it. The rest of the way to the school no pony said anything, but the looks I received from Trixie said it all....
Welcome to Hell, you'll be lucky if I let you survive the day....
The school itself didn't look to bad as the bus pulled into the driveway. It certainly wasn't as nice as the schools in uptown Manehattan, but at least it wasn't a rundown one room shack. The wheels on the bus screeched to a halt and the door opened up with a deafening noise, it was like Discord himself was scratching his horns against a chalkboard in my head. All the kids started to shuffle off the hunk of junk and rushed into the school building. I barely got two steeps before seeing a flash of dark blue slam into my stomach and straight over the steps of the bus i went.
"Whoops, my bad." Trixie called out with a snicker from behind me.
This is going to be a very long day
(AUTHORS NOTE: I KNOW THIS IS A VERY SHORT CHAPTER, BUT I LITERALLY COULD NOT THINK ABOUT HOW TO FINISH THIS CHAPTER :/ . THE NEXT ONE WILL BE OUT TONIGHT OR IN THE MORNING AND WILL BE A LOT LONGER THAN THIS ONE. THIS WAS JUST A CRAPPY PLACE TO DRAW A BLANK ^^" )
