New year at a new school, Twilight expects a certain popular boy to steal her heart. But not everything is as it seems.
Twilight Sparkle, new A+ student at Ponyville High, expects handsome jock Flash Sentry to capture her heart. But instead she'll meet a cowgirl who might do just that. Friendships will be made and feelings will grow. What ever will she do?
...was the only word Twilight could think of walking down the corridors of her new school. She had just met with the headmistress, now she was walking around the hallways waiting for second period to begin, hopefully she would find the class room. Even though Twilight thought that that PH was a total crap hole, she had to admit it was huge. It was basically a maze!
Twilight wasn't even there a whole day, never ever attended a class and she could feel herself hating the school more and more each minute. Twilight use to attend Canterlot academy for gifted girls. One of the best schools in the country. She always attended the best schools, always had the highest grades, so going to Ponyville High was a major low.
The lockers were covered in graffiti and the hallways smelled like piss. Twilight was embarrassed just looking at the school. She couldn't even imagine the students would be like.
I could go to library until the start of second period... she thought.
Driiiiiiiing
The bell rang very loudly; immediately after, hundreds of teenagers ran out of their classes, pushing Twilight out of their way. She couldn't even reach her locker. She ran only to trip on someone's skateboard.
"What kind of school is this?" she said angrily.
"Whoa, are you okay?" said a voice
Twilight looked up to see a boy reaching out to her. She awkwardly took his hand to get back up.
"That was quite the fall, you sure you're okay?"
She nodded yes while looking down.
"Well, I'm Flash Sentry. But you can call me Flash. Are you new here? Or have I just never seen you before?"
"I'm new here. My name is Twilight Sparkle."
"That's a cute name. Well it makes sense, cute girl cute name." Twilight felt her cheeks getting warmer.
"FLASH!" screamed a voice from afar.
"Shit! I'm sorry, I got to run! Bye!" Then he ran away
Twilight did see the screaming girl;she had red and yellow hair and a leather jacket. She gave Twilight the coldest look possible.
He has cute. Nice too. I wonder if he likes me? NO TWILIGHT! You don't have time for BOYS! Studies first.Now where is that locker? She looked at the papers but then bumped into someone else.
Dawm it! Look where you're going Twi!
"I'm mighty sorry for bumping into you. I was in a bit of a hurry." said a voice with a southern accent.
Twilight didn't even bother looking up. Now, she was pissed.
"You should look where you're going! Being in a hurry is no excuse! You could have hurt me..." started Twilight. She hasn't done, not at all ,but before she could continue she looked up. And she saw the most beautiful emerald eyes.
Now that Twilight was really looking at her, the girl was overall breathtaking.
Wow
Twilight was staring at the girl with awe. She couldn't pronounce words, Twilight felt like an idiot. After a moment the girl spoke again.
"I am real sorry, miss." Said the green eyed girl.
"N-No it was partially my fault. I should be sorry. My name is Twilight, I'm new here." Said Twilight
"Well that would explain why I never seen you before. Are you lost? Let me see those!" Said the girl pulling the papers out of Twilight hands.
"Hey! Your locker is close to mine. Come on, I'll show you where it is. And I'll show you where your classes are too!"
"Are you sure? Because you said you were in a hurry."
"It's okay, it can wait."The blonde girl took Twilight by her hand and started walking.
Twilight blushed.
"Name's Applejack by the way"
"Twilight."
Applejack chuckled.
"I know! You already told me."
Shit, I am an idiot.
"Well here we are. This is your locker."
"Thanks a lot Applejack! Where is your locker?"
Applejack pointed towards a locker that was not even a minute away! They were apart by two or three lockers. For some unknown reason, Twilight was very pleased with the situation. It seemed like Applejack was going to leave. Twilight didn't want that, so she said the first thing to pop into her head.
"Can you tell me where the English class is?"
"Right in front of you ,Twilight."
Oh
The bell rang.
"Well I've got to go, Twi. Is it okay if I call you that?"
"Yeah, you can call me whatever. Well not WHATEVER but like you can call whatever you WANT to call me. So Twi is fine."
What the hell am I saying?
Applejack let out a light chuckle.
"I like you ,Twi. I'll see you later!"
And like that she was gone. Twilight watches the girl run to her class.
She said she liked me.
And once again Twilight blushed. Twilight didn't understand it. She never really was interested in others. But Applejack seemed different.
What are you thinking? You're straight ,remember? Hello?
And with that thought she went inside her class.
Lunch time finally arrived! Twilight was relieved. She's never been so happy for lunch. She had to go in front if the class and introduce herself. Her classmates all asked her questions. One dumb ass pervert asked her what size bra does she wears. Who asks that? They treated her like if she was from another planet. And Twilight did not like the attention.
Even though Twilight was relieved to finally be free ,one thing worried her. Where would she eat? She couldn't eat all alone. That would be social suicide, not that she cared.
I could eat in the girls bathroom. Old habits don't die in a day.
"Twi!" yelled a voice from afar.
"Applejack?"
AJ ran towards Twilight.
"Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to have lunch with me and some gals. They wouldn't mind."
"I'd love to, AJ."
Twilight followed Applejack to a table. At this table there were two girls waiting for her. One with pink hair and the other with rainbow coloured hair.
"There's supposed to be two other girls but I don't know where they are." said AJ waving at the two girls.
Twilight was nervous, she never really had friends. She never cared but it was obvious she wanted to become friends with Applejack. If it was ANYONE else she would have declined the offer.
"This is Twilight Sparkle. Twilight, this here is my cousin Pinkie Pie." she said pointing at the poofy haired one. "And this one here is Rainbow Dash, my..."
There was a pause. Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack gave each other an awkward look. A very long look. It didn't seem to bother Pinkie Pie but it sure did bother Twilight.
"Advanced calculus? Who takes advanced calculus?" Said the rainbow haired one while looking at Twilight's schedule. "Well, I actually kind of like math." Said Twilight trying to sound as nice as she possibly could. "Are you an egghead?" Said rudely Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow, be nice!" Said Applejack. "But seriously, who likes math? Eggheads, that's who!"
Just keep smiling, Twi. Don't let her get to you.
After that thought, two girls appeared. One was wearing a yellow dress and had long pink hair that covered her face. The other was a stunning girl with purple hair who was wearing a very fancy white dress. Twilight recognized the second one, but she didn't remember where?
"Oh. Twi, this here is Fluttershy." Said Applejack pointing at the pink haired one. "Nice to meet you." Said Twilight cheerfully. "Hi." Fluttershy squeaked. She seemed rather shy. Which made Twilight chuckle since her name was indeed Flutter-SHY. "And this is Rarity." Said Pinkie who seemed rather exited to see her friend.
Rarity looked at Twilight head to toe, Twilight felt a little intimidated.
"Aren't you in my class?" Asked Rarity. "It’s Twilight Sparkle, right?" "Now I remember you. You're the girl who asked what they wore at my old school, right?" Asked Twilight, finally remembering the girl. "Yes, that was me. You never did answer me." Rarity pouted. "Oh, sorry. We all had uniforms." Rarity gasped, Twilight was confused. "Uniforms? Oh my! I can't possibly imagine wearing the same thing every day." Words could not describe how hard Twilight rolled her eyes.
Oh, brother.
"So Twilight, what are you into? Girls, boys or both?” Asked out of nowhere Rarity. Twilight almost choked on her egg sandwich. "Excuse me?" "Don't worry, we don't judge. Both Rainbow and Applejack are homo." The two girls glared at Rarity. She mouthed sorry. "As I was saying, what are you? Straight, gay, bisexual?" " Aren't you being a little forward?" Said the shy one. "I like to know. Twilight, but if it does bother you..." "No, doesn't bother me at all. Because I'm straight. I am so straight. I’m as straight as a... stripper pole!" The girls around her just started laughing.
Smooth.
"I have a feeling we're all going to become very good friends." Said Rarity as the girls nodded in agreement.
Friends?
Twilight smiled at the thought of her having friends. But she didn't even know the first thing about friendship! She never took classes. Can you even learn friendship?
"Hey, Twilight." When Twilight turned around, she saw a familiar face. It was Flash Sentry, Twilight couldn't help but smile. "Um, hey Flash. I like your jacket, it's sexy." Twilight blurted out. Flash smiled and continued his path.
Twilight felt her cheeks burn red. She also felt the eyes of the five other girls on her.
"What the hell was that?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "What?" "Um,hey Flash. Your jacket is sexy." Said Rainbow making fun of Twilight. "Ooh, I think somebody's got a crush." Said AJ staring at Twilight, making her blush slightly. "She does!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie. "Well, if you do. My advice is to get over it quickly." Said Rarity. "Why? I'm not saying that I like him but because I don't. I just want to know. For research" Said Twilight "You see that girl with the fiery hair? That's Sunset Shimmer, the most popular and manipulative girl you'll ever meet." Explained Rarity. "Seems kind of clichéd." Said Twilight who's seen enough movies to know. "It is. But it doesn't end there, Flash is her boyfriend! Flash Sentry; popular boy who also plays the guitar. And Sunset Shimmer won't let any girl touch him." "Also very clichéd." Twilight felt like she was in Mean Girls. A movie she enjoyed watching very much. "It's clichéd but we all know no one should mess with Sunset Shimmer. She's the Regina George of this school." Said Fluttershy.
She finally talked!
Twilight arrived home and WOW was she tired. As she entered, her little dog Spike ran towards her.
"Hey, boy! Did you miss me? Yeah, me too. “Twilight really loved that dog.
She entered the kitchen and saw a note from her parents saying that they get home soon. Twilight started her homework for next week. She was very punctual. About ten minutes in, her cell phone rang. A part of her wanted it to be Applejack, yet she didn't know why.
"Hello?" "Hey, egghead." Twilight was very disappointed.
Oh, it's her.
"What do you want, Rainbow?" Said Twilight, slightly annoyed with the jock. “And by the way, how'd you get my number." "That's not important. Freckles said that I wasn't polite with you today and she wanted me to do something about it." "Freckles?" Asked Twilight. "I'M THE ONLY THAT CAN CALL HER THAT. So the girls and I are going to the mall this weekend. If you're not too busy studying, would you like to come?" "Okay. Now, if you excuse me I have to study." "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!" Twilight hung up on the girl.
I don't like her.
The first week for Twilight was hell. She got lost a few times. Good thing she had Applejack to show her around. Saturday finally arrived. The day where Twilight and her new friends would go to the mall.
They all met around noon at the food court. Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack got pizza while the others and Twilight got sushi. AJ and Rainbow Dash were together a lot. Twilight noticed during the week that the two were very close. The two girls had a chemistry the rest just didn't have. Twilight thought about it daily, she couldn't help it. While the girls were waiting for their orders, Twilight had to ask.
"Are Rainbow and Applejack a thing?" She asked looking across the food court where Applejack and Rainbow were. "Why do you ask, darling?" Replied Rarity. "I've noticed some things about them. How they are with each other. I'm just curious." Said Twilight turning towards Rarity. "Well, you were going to learn sooner or later." "Learn what?" "AJ and Rainbow Dash were in a relationship last year. They were happy…" Started Rarity "Extremely happy!" Interrupted Pinkie. "But there was a misunderstanding and they broke up. But it was just a misunderstanding. Even though they won't admit it, they obviously still have feelings for each other."
Twilight turned her gaze back to across the court. She felt a wave of disappointment. She stared at Applejack as she laughed at Rainbow Dash.
"So Twilight what school clubs do you want to join?" Asked Pinkie with hopeful eyes. "I don't know, why do you ask Pinkie?" Twilight responded. "Because there's a big dance coming up and I need all the help I can get. As the president of the party comity, it's my job to recruit volunteers. What do you say Twilight? It'll be fun, we'll be together all the time. We’ll be besties forever because we'll bond. We can bake cupcakes and have-" Rainbow Dash quickly put her hand in front of her friend’s mouth. "Of course not!" Said Rarity." I'm sorry, Pinkie. But I doubt Twilight wants to spend so much time with you. She hardly knows you."
Pinkie’s frowned, Twilight was sure she saw the girl’s poofy hair deflate.
"No, no I'll do it. I would love to, Pinkie." Pinkie smiled as she hugged her new friend. "Yay! How about you girls?" Asked the cheerful girl. And one by one, all her friends agreed.
And with that, the six girls continued to eat their lunches.
"Oh, isn't this dress to die for?" Said the exited Rarity.
Twilight didn't care much for dressing up but she had to admit the dress Rarity was holding was really nice. It was magenta colored, it only had one sleeve with a white sparkling belt. It was shorter than Twilight liked, a little over the knee.
"Try it on." Said Rarity. "Um, no. It's okay." Replied Twilight. "Oh come on! Try it on!" Pinkie suggested. "Come on, nerd. It's nice." Rainbow Dash commented. "I think you would look nice in it, Twilight." Added Fluttershy.
Twilight didn't understand why she was so hesitant.
"Sorry, girls. I don't think so..." "Twi, go on now. Try it on for us. No need to be shy." Said finally Applejack. Twilight sighed. "Okay." Said Twilight, admitting defeat.
The 5 girls squealed with excitement as they pushed Twilight in to the changing room. Twilight took her time changing. She was shaking, she was terrified. Of what? She didn't even know.
Dawm it. Why are you so nervous, Twilight? Stop being a fidgety little fuc-
Her thoughts were rudely interrupted by a loud knocking,
"Hurry up in there, Twilight! We don't have all day, you know?" Yelled Rainbow Dash.
Twilight finally got out. The dress fit her well, at least that's what her friends said.
"Wow, Twilight. You look mighty pretty if you ask me." Applejack commented, the others nodded in agreement. Twilight's heart quickened. "Well, thanks but I don’t think I’ll buy it." "Why?" They all asked. "It's too expensive, I spent all my money at the book store." There was a sale, and Twilight couldn't resist. "We can't let a dress like this go to waste!" Exclaimed Rarity. "I'll buy it for you."
Before Twilight could object, Rarity pushed her back into the changing room and practically stripped her down. When Rarity was done she stormed out of the room leaving Twilight to change back to her regular clothes.
What in the world just happened?
"I'm sorry, Twilight but I did what I had to." Said Rarity, she had bought Twilight her dress. "I-it's okay." Stuttered Twilight. "It was really generous of you."
Rarity smiled in return. The day was coming to its end. All 6 girls were happy with what they bought and were glad to have spent the day with their friends. Twilight felt great! She never knew what she was missing. And for a moment, Twilight forgot she had homework.
"Twilight!" Yelled a voice on Monday morning. Twilight turned to see who it was. It was Flash! "Oh, hey." She replied, trying really hard not to sound like an idiot. "Hey. What do you think of my jacket today?" He said. "What?" "Do you think it's sexy?" Twilight felt her cheeks burn up, was he teasing her? "I-I-I g-gu-guess... I-I-I mean y-you always loo-look..." She stuttered. "N-Not that I think you're s-se..." Then suddenly Flash Sentry started laughing. Twilight found herself mad at the boy for putting her in such a state. And laughing at her too! "Don't hurt yourself there." He laughed. He must have seen Twilight’s angry face because he stopped laughing almost instantly. "Sorry, it's just you're cute when you stutter." And like that, all the anger Twilight felt towards him faded away.
Both teenagers awkwardly smiled at each other for what felt like forever. Not that it bothered Twilight.
"Well..." The boy finally said. "I wanted you to know there's going to be a Halloween party at my place. You know, two weeks from now. On Halloween." "You don't say. A Halloween party on Halloween?" Said sarcastically Twilight, she covered her mouth quickly realizing what she just said. "Yeah. I'll text you the details if you want to come." He said as he handed his phone to Twilight. "I hope you come, your friends are invited. And everyone else is, so you don't have to worry." "Worry?"
Twilight awkwardly typed her phone number into his cell and he left soon after. Twilight mentally slapped herself.
Such a dork, that's what you are. A dork!
It was free period, Twilight was in front of her locker taking out her many books. She heard footsteps, she felt a touch on her shoulder. She turned around, her smile quickly dropped. It wasn't who she expected it to be. Nor who she wanted it to be.
"Twilight, right?" Said the girl holding a smoothie in her hand. "Yeah, what's up?" Questioned Twilight. "I’m good. I’m just here because I heard you're after my crown and my boyfriend? What's up with that?"
Crown...? What is she talking about?
"I don't know what you're talking about, Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said, truthfully. "Sucks that you wore white today. That's going to be hard to wash out." Sunset Shimmer replied looking at Twilight. "What?" "Well, a queen has to make sure her subjects know their rightful place." Twilight's eyes widened finally understanding what was about to happen.
Sunset poured her strawberry smoothie on top of Twilight's head. The girl laughed with herself as she watched the poor Twilight hold back tears.
"Listen up, you little whore. My school. My boyfriend. My crown. Try to take these away from me and I will make every day of your useless life a living hell." She started. "Now I suggest you take your name out of the race and never talk to Flash ever again."
Sunset spat on Twilight before walking away. Twilight ran to the nearest restroom.She brought her knees to her chest and started quietly sobbing into her arms.
Why is this happening again...?
As Twilight cried, she heard two familiar voices;
“Rainbow!” Whispered the southern voice. “If we get in trouble, I’ll kill you!” “AJ, calm down. We won’t get in trouble, babe.”
