I guess I am going through some growing pains right now because the tops of my hooves hurt so much, to the point that it is making them numb. Coming into Ms. Snapple’s classroom, she hadn’t even arrived at the school yet and I remembered that I needed to turn some artwork to my Journalism teacher for my article. So, I got up and trotted outside, seeing Black Ninja on her way to see me.
“Come with me.” I ordered.
“Wait! Where are you going?!” she asked.
“I need to go see Ms. Reelz, so I could turn in my artwork.”
“Okay, I follow you.”
“Good, because you had no choice.”
“WHAT?!”
I snickered.
Heading down the stairs and into the pod room, Ms. Reelz wasn’t at school either. Well, there was no use and just standing there like idiots. So Black Ninja and I went back up the stairs to Ms. Snapple’s room; where inside was Timeless, Cora, Stardella, and Ms. Snapple.
“Crystal!” Timeless announced.
“Hey. Ow.” I responded.
“What’s wrong with you?!” Stardella asked.
“I guess I am going through some growing pains now, but soon I’ll be fine.” I answered.
“Did any of you all see your grades?” Ms. Snapple asked changing the subject.
“Yes, I believe that I have like a B.” I answered.
All of us talked for a bit until the first bell rang.
“Oh shit!” I suddenly remembered.
“What?” Black Ninja asked.
“I didn’t even read the chapters I needed for English. I’m in deep shit.”
Trotting out of Ms. Snapple’s class, I told her that I would see her later. Going into English, Harmony Wing was in the same desk as she had always been in every day.
“Hey Hamony!” I greeted.
“Hey.” She responded.
“Did you get to work on your fanfiction?”
She didn’t answer me for a second. To give you all some background, Harmony Wing was working on a fanfiction which I got to make a character and be a part of it. That was awesome!
“Do you wanna hear about what last night?” she asked.
“Sure. Why not?” I questioned.
“Well, my stepdad wanted to make up with my mom. So he told me, ‘Come on Harmony, we are going for a ride.’ So we went to go get my mother. Went to dinner, shopping, and all of that. By time I got home it was 10:00pm, and I had homework to do. Yeah, that was done by midnight. And I was so tired by then.” Harmony explained.
“Ah.”
“Good morning class. Here is what we are going to do today. Did any pony finish the chapters 9 – 11 discussion questions?” Mr. Sonnets asked.
Silence.
“I’ll take that as a no.” He looked disappointed, “Well, you were supposed to do that for homework. I’ll let you all work on it for the first part of class, but then we have to take the quiz.”
All we did was work on the stuff for To Kill a Mockingbird. Which was a joy and I wish that I could do it all again!
When the bell rang, Harmony and I were not hesitant to leave that classroom today. We grabbed our stuff and got the hell out of there! We walked together to our classes. Harmony went to her class and I noticed Black Ninja at her locker, so I began talking with her and Icy.
We talked for a little bit; it wasn’t until I noticed out of the corner of my eye that I saw 2 dark colored stallions fight. Ninja and I went to the doors, just to be out of the way and let the chaos break. Whistles blowing, ponies laughing, oh the chaos. When the fight ended, the bell rang. Ninja went to class and I had to wait a few seconds before I could go.
Pony Paint and Super Junior were both in the classroom. I sat my stuff down on the desk next to Junior.
“Oh.” Pony Paint said.
“Oh, I didn’t even notice that your stuff was there. I’ll move.”
“Yeah, but its fine.”
“No, if your stuff is there, I’ll just move.”
“No, it’s alright.”
He sat down in the desk behind Junior. I shrugged my shoulders and then sat in the desk.
“Hey Crystal!” Super Junior greeted.
“Hey Junior!” I responded.
She laughed and so did I. Ms. Reelz got up in front of the class and announced, “Good morning, um, here is our daily reading for today. Get working on that and then go to your fourth articles.”
Grabbing my rock, I started on the daily reading and then worked on my article for the recent movie, “The Lego Movie.”
The bell rang for lunch and I went on my upstairs route to Ms. Snapple’s room. When Firestar came running for me. Super Junior went to the cafeteria and Firestar and I headed up the stairs. When we arrived, Timeless, Cora, Ninja, Stardella, and of course Ms. Snapple; but this interaction seemed quite odd, Ms. Snapple was on her phone, and her rock read some kind of medical place that I have never heard of before.
I started to talk to my friends Stardella and Ninja.
“I’m really enjoying My Little Human, the newest season, so far” I started the conversation.
“And of course you know that Castle is boss!” Stardella said.
“I have tried to watch Castle, but I thought that it is just a waste of time.” Black Ninja responded.
Stardella stared angrily at Ninja, the look on her face was just the look, like she was about to kill some pony. Grabbing my pen, I gave it to her to click.
“You might want this.” I exclaimed handing her the pen.
She took the pen and began clicking it.
“What are you doing?” Timeless asked.
“Clicking this pen, so that way I don’t kill any pony.” Stardella answered.
Soon, Ms. Snapple got off her phone, and didn’t look happy. Oh Celestia, all hell was going to break loose.
“Don’t you just hate it when you feel like you are dying and you want to go to the doctor now. Well, they can take you two weeks from now! Um, hello! I’m dying here! I need a frickin appointment now! No, we can only still take you then!”
I could tell that she was wanting to just punch a hole in a wall or something. The “Poison Oak,” that was the arms of her front hooves were really starting to get to her. The majority of the group chuckled.
“I don’t mean to be like gossiping or anything,” Ms. Snapple asked after she calmed down just a bit, “What had happened at the fight? Who did it?”
“Well…” Stardella told Ms. Snapple the whole story.
“Oh.” She responded after the explanation.
“Two dark stallions were fighting?” Cora asked.
“Yeah!” Stardella answered.
“It doesn’t make – wait – what?” Timeless asked.
“Two dark stallions aren’t supposed to fight, they are supposed to shoot each other in the face.” Black Ninja commented.
All of us started to laugh. Ms. Snapple turned around in her chair.
“That was racist!”
Stardella fell to the floor laughing, I have to admit, so did I, but on the desk. Soon, I looked over at the time and it was two minutes before the bell rang.
“NO!” I whinned.
“What?” Firestar asked.
“The damn bell is going to ring soon.”
Soon the bell rang, I finally just got use to the annoying ass bell. Firestar grabbed her stuff and trotted out of the classroom.
“See ya later Firestar! I’ll try and write more later! Maybe this weekend!” I called out to her.
“Okay! Have a good weekend!” she called.
“You too!”
All of my classmates started coming in as I went to Ms. Snapple’s desk. She took a deep breath and rolled her eyes.
“I really wanted an appointment today. I feel like going inside their office and say, ‘I’m here. Aren’t you going to take me?’” Ms. Snapple explained.
I stifled a laugh, “I would have done the same thing, I don’t blame you at all.”
Setting my saddlebag up on my desk, I opened my notebook “Atlantic High School.” Each of my friends had characters on which they got to name. Mine was Katie, Firestar was Allison, Stardella was Katy, Timeless Crash was Nakia, Cora was Nakhol, and Black Ninja was Emily, but Ms. Snapple didn’t have a character name. She is like the major part of the story.
When my classmates went to their desks and away from Ms. Snapple, I trotted up to her.
“Hey Crystal. What’s up?” she asked.
“I’m working on a fanfiction and I need a name for your character. And I thought that it would be 20% cooler if you came up with the name.” I explained.
“Can I tell you at the end of class?”
“Yeah, take all the time you need.”
The bell rang and Ms. Snapple was in the front of the classroom.
“Hey guys, well today we aren’t going to do much, just review about Endothermic and Exothermic relationships. And then I have a documentary that we can watch.” Ms. Snapple announced.
She showed us Endo and Exothermic relationships on the dry erase board and then turned on the documentary. The bell rang on time as the others left.
“Ok Crystal. I came up with a name that fits my personality. And I came up with Ms. Bowen.” Ms. Snapple told me.
“It does fit your personality.” I responded.
“I knew it!”
“If you want to change the name of your character, let me know.”
“Certainly.”
“Okay Ms. Snapple. I’ll see ya tomorrow.”
“See you later Crystal.”
Going downstairs to geography, I remembered that we were going to watch a movie in his class today. Hurray! We were going to watch Captain Phillips; all I have to explain to you was what happened after the release bell.
I went up to Mr. Canyons.
“Hey Crystal what do you need?” he asked.
“Can I use your phone to call my mother? So then she could come and pick me up.” I asked.
“Yeah sure.”
Grabbing the phone, I dialed my mom’s phone number. She answered the phone, but she didn’t seem too happy.
“WHAT?!” she snorted.
“Can you come and get me from the school?”
“Why can’t you take the bus home?”
“The thunder and lightning?”
Just so you all know, I am petrified of the thunder and lightning, when I’m standing outside. My fear of it, is that the lightning will come and electrocute me, and the thunder because of the noise factor. I don’t really like loud noises.
“Just take the damn bus!” my mom snapped.
“Fine.” I calmly said.
She hung the phone up on me. Placing the phone down into its spot, Mr. Canyons looked at me.
“Did you hang up on your mom?” he asked.
“No, she hung up on me.” I responded.
Going onto the bus with fear in my eyes I sat down by myself until I reached home and let out the water works. Because of the fear, disappointment, and pure anger.
