Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days
Chapter 4
Octavia walked out of P.E,tired out,and exhausted. Unfortunately,Vinyl wasn't in her class,so she had to work with Bon Bon and Lyra instead. "Hey! Octavia!" Upon hearing her name,the grey mare turned and looked to see who was yelling at her.
A beige earth pony was running her way;Bon Bon. Along side her was a mint green unicorn,who never seemed to wander far from Bon Bon.
"Oh,hello again Bon Bon,hello Lyra." Octavia greeted the pair,sounding formal as always.
"Octavia,I just opened a sweet shop! Isn't that great!?" Bon Bon looked at her,as if she would explode from hearing the news.
"Oh,Bon Bon,that's wonderful! But why didn't you tell me in P.E ?"
"Well,I just filled out the last bit of paperwork,and had Lyra teleport it to the people giving me the building!"
"That's wonderful! " Octavia exclaimed,bringing her joy back to life.
Just then Lyra cut in "Uh,yeah,wonderful,but Bon! We need to get to the first Caf. remember!? If we want good food,we gotta hurry! You comin' Tavia?"
The two mares stood there for a moment,a bit shocked at Lyra's sudden intrusion.
"Well!?" Lyra tried,breaking them out of the trance.
"Oh,of course. Thanks Lyra." Octavia accepted the offer,not like she had any lunch plans yet. Besides,she couldn't stick down to just one friend,and even if it wasn't much,having three was a start.
They each began walking down the long hallway,as the cafeteria had been conveniently placed just down the hall from the main room of the P.E class.
When they reached the lunch room,they saw Vinyl sitting...alone?
The trio walked over to the white unicorn with their lunches, taking a seat next to Vinyl.
"Sup' Tavi !.....Who are you two?" The unicorn wasn't who the two ponies by Octavia's side had been.
" I'm Bon Bon,nice to meet you." The beige mare introduced herself to the DJ at the table in front of her.
"And I'm Lyra...Who are you?" The mint green unicorn looked at Vinyl,who was smiling at the chance to give herself a grand introduction,and impress the two mares who stood before her.
" I would be Vinyl Scratch,otherwise known as the one and only- DJ pon-3 !" Vinyl gloated,glad to show off her fame to the others.
Octavia smiled,looking at her two new friends "Sorry,she's a bit of a show boat." Vinyl stood there,as Octavia had just shattered her short-lived moment of glory.
"So Tavi,you thinking about last night's little rescue again?" Vinyl teased. Wow this was getting old.
"Uh,what's she talking about Tavia?" Lyra asked,not exactly sure what it had meant.
"I was drunk,she came from the dorm and got me off the sidewalk I was passed out on,and saved me from some filly's on the street."
Octavia briefed the answer as much as possible,annoyed from her roommates pointless taunting.
"Oh! Are you okay!?" Bon Bon spoke up,worried about her new friend.
"Yes,Bonnie,I'm fine."
"Bonnie?" Lyra snickered from the background.
"It's a nickname,Lyra." Bon Bon scolded "Almost everypony has a nickname for their friends!"
"Whatever!" Lyra exclaimed,still laughing at the name Octavia had given to her roommate.
They all sat down at the table,talking of the day's events and what plans they had once they got home.
They each had a different story to tell,and as they told them,the small amount of time they had been given to eat felt like it flew by.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time they finished up in the cafeteria,history was already starting. Once all the mares and colts had settled down the annoyed teacher started with a lecture about how the states had gotten shaped,even though they had learned it long ago. There was a group of mares whispering behind Octavia,which,although it was distracting,she said nothing about it,and kept taking notes on what the teacher in the front of the classroom was saying. Other's were whispering,daydreaming,and drawing,and it looked to Octavia as if she were the only one paying attention to the poor colt,who was trying to yell at the ponies who weren't listening to him,and continue the lesson.
The ponies who had been fast asleep woke up,the teachers' loud yells waking them from their slumber.
Octavia felt bad for the teacher,as all the ponies had shown only bad behavior. She could only imagine how hard it was for him to settle them down,and how stressful it must have been. Doing everyday must have made it even harder on him. Octavia had been the only one in the class who even had her focus on the stallion.
Finally,the bell rung,a loud flat noise coming from the speaker in each classroom of the school building.
All the student's got up,relieved for the class to finally be over,and walked to their next classes,except Lyra,Vinyl and Octavia,who grouped up,and walked off to find Bon Bon,Who was the only pony of their small group who hadn't shared that class with them.
On their trek to find the other mare,they ran into several others', Derpy,Amethyst Star, Berry Punch, Minutte,and even Golden Harvest,but they didn't find Bon Bon for a good five minutes,which ended the small transition time they had between classes.
