//------------------------------// // March 5, 2014 // Story: High School Ponies (9th grade) // by AmethystFire //------------------------------// Oh shit, I have the CGA's to take in science today. The worst test from the county ever in the galaxy. They don't make any sense at all, and they are putting the reasonable questions for what we're supposed to learn. Any ways, it off the bus, I saw Ms. Snapple's car at 6:40 AM! She was early, as was I, but seeing her car out there made me feel late. So, I just got off the bus and went on my way to Ms. Snapple’s room. “Crystal!” a voice called. It was Pony Paint with his hooves out in the air. “PAINT!” I responded. He lightly hugged me and I responded back with a hug. He normally does that now for my sake still. I’m trying to get used to it now. Paint and I talked for a little while, I showed him some things that I got for myself for my early birthday. “I have to go Paint to my science teacher’s room. I’ll see you later.” I exclaimed. “Okay, I’ll see you in second period!” Paint responded as I started to walk away. I went upstairs and got inside the pod room where Ms. Snapple’s room was. Her stuff was lying across her desk and she wasn’t in the room. She must have been in the teacher’s lounge doing the normal things a teacher would do in a teacher’s lounge. Setting my saddle bags down, I grabbed one of my pencils in my bag and began to write. “Hey guys.” Ms. Snapple greeted. Guys? I looked behind me and saw Stardella with her cup of coffee in her hoof. “Oh man! I hate this cup!” Stardella scolded. “Why?” I asked out loud. Then I saw the cup drip out the side and onto the desk. “Oh.” I responded to myself. “CRYSTAL!” Cora called putting her hoof out. I responded that notion with a hoof bump. “Do you have a bit?” Black Sheep asked. “Not for you.” I answered. “Why do you ask every pony for money?” Black Ninja asked. “Because every pony gives me money.” He responded. He opened his wallet, yet he needed a bit. He had like two or three of them inside! “It would be funny if he opened his wallet a moth flew out.” I said sarcastically. “Yeah, thanks.” Black Sheep responded. Soon, he left the room and Angel came in. “Angel!” Cora said wrapping her hooves around Angel. “I want something, but I don’t-“ Stardella informed. “I have a bit for you.” I interrupted. “For me?” “Yeah here.” I handed her my last bit those inside my wallet. “I’m going downstairs!” Stardella informed. “Wait! Let me come with you!” Angel called. They both left to get something downstairs. I was happy to give it to Stardella, she’s my spiritual sister. I helped the Snapple set up her room for the CGA’s and I went to class 3 minutes after the bell rang. “Hey Harmony!” I greeted sitting down at my desk. “Hey Crystal, read this!” Harmony Wing ordered. I took the notebook that she had from her and handed her my story. “Oh my Celestia!” I said laughing. “I just randomly started writing that story.” Harmony explained. When my English teacher got up and began class, I was so bored, I just don’t want to bore any of you all. First period came and went and it was now second period. I thought I was going to get the chance to work on my article, but no, we worked the majority of the period and I need to finish working on a science worksheet that was due today. And the back of my head I knew that Ms. Snapple would bite my head off when she found out about it. Oh wait, shit I just wrote that, and I have no eraser at the moment, and I’m too lazy to cross it out. I’m in deep duty, I lived a good life, yeah now I’m dead. Lunch came around, I found Firestar at her locker, I started walking towards her as I almost ran into Ms. Snapple who was in a hurry for some reason? “Hey Crystal!” Firestar greeted. “Hey Firestar.” I said wrapping my hooves around her, “Okay I feel better.” For little background on what happened, I heard from some pony that her dog passed away Monday. When I went on my rock to see if she had it on her social site, it was there. A dog that I got to see in the fourth grade had died. “Okay?” Firestar responded. When she and I arrived upstairs, I knew that Ms. Snapple wasn’t there yet. But Stardella, Timeless, and Cora were there already. Firestar grabbed my notebook and began reading, and Stardella went through my lunch. It was 20 or 15 minutes left before lunch ended and Ms. Snapple hadn’t arrived in class. “Did she fall off the face of the earth?” Stardella asked. I shrugged my shoulders. “Maybe she fell down the stairs.” Timeless Crash added. “No, she rarely takes the stairs!” I snapped. “Well it’s possible!” I rolled my eyes, “or she fell into a wormhole, and is stuck in time. Soon she will come here and tell us all that she saw!” “Oh, like in big bang theory?!” Golden asked. “Yeah!” I responded. The other ponies face hoofed me. I laughed knowing that I was being myself. 3 minutes before the bell rang, Ms. Snapple and the new science teacher came in. I knew that because Ms. Snapple hadn’t said anything about her being fired, or quitting, or doing anything to a student that would cause these. But to be friendly to the newbie I said, “hello.” Then Timeless Crash followed with the same. Once came and went and it was time for the CGA’s, UGH! I gave Ms. Snapple my notebook that had the story with her in it. “CRYSTAL!” she said trying to catch me before I sat down. “Yeah?” I responded. “I had ISSP work to get to the person in there but I can’t now because of class. Can you take it down there?” “Yeah sure I can.” “Do you know where it is?” “Uh…” Just to say that I’m not a bad foal at all. I don’t even have a referral in my record. Because I’m awesome like that. “No I don’t.” I answered. “Okay.” Ms. Snapple responded. She gave me the directions to the ISSP room. I thought that I knew where it was; yeah, it was about five minutes after the bell had rung when I finally reached the hallway of the Auditorium and followed the directions Ms. Snapple had given me, kind of. I had to stop and ask one of the ponies in one of the house offices and they told me the same thing that Ms. Snapple told me. I still couldn't find it. Almost seven minutes after the bell, I finally found it! To make it faster I tried to fly to Ms. Snapple's room, but my wings wouldn't let me. Then I remembered that I can't fly anymore. I got really lucky and made it to the end of Ms. Snapple reading the script for the test that the education system wants them to read so then I could just go straight to the test. Yeah, that was very enjoyable for me, taking the CGA's again. Once I finished the test, before the ten minutes left mark was called, I grabbed my pencil and began to draw Ms. Snapple's character, in my story for my high school life, High School Humans, as in the form of Flutterbat from the most recent episode of My Little Human. When I noticed that every pony had fallen asleep I looked at Ms. Snapple every so often, then I remembered what she told us this morning. “You think that the CGA's are boring for you! Just imagine how boring it is for me. When some pony falls asleep I start making bets. Like 'I bet that they're going to snore. Yeah.'” Every time that I looked out at the class and then her, I would think about it, and then silently laugh. Fifty- seven minutes later, after trying not to fall asleep, Ms. Snapple got up from her desk. "I can see that every pony is asleep so I'm going to cut this short by three minutes. I'm going to come around and pick up your tests." Ms. Snapple announced. She started to pick up the test when my eyelids started to feel heavy, I was falling asleep. Forcing myself to stay awake, I looked at the stallion who sits next to me normally when the desks are together sound asleep. After Ms. Snapple picked up all the tests and the materials, we worked on a worksheet and watched videos for the remainder of the period. When Ms. Snapple told every pony that class was all over I trotted over to her desk. We chatted for a little bit before the bell rang. “Here,” Ms. Snapple handed me my notebook, “I didn’t get the chance to read any of it because I was trying to plan for next class.” “It’s alright, I just gave it to you just in case you got bored.” I responded. “Alright. Well, I have to use the restroom, see you tomorrow!” I chuckled, “Alright, see ya.” Collecting my stuff I headed down the stairs to fourth period. We worked for the entire period; when class ended Sunshine came over to my desk and looked at me with the look like she was going to hurt some pony at some point. “Hey Sunshine! How have you been?” I asked. “Not well. I’ve been in pain all day long.” Sunshine responded. I cringed, I knew what was wrong with her.
