//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: The Seemingly Generic Student // by ponymix25 //------------------------------// *BEEP* *BEEP* BEEP* “Yeah?” Solstice answered his cell that he took from his bag. “No. I’m uh, heading to CHS now.” His mom was asking if he was still in apartment “Yes, I did everything you told me to.” Solstice rolled his eyes. “Yeah. Bye mom.” Solstice said his goodbyes to his mother and tucked his cellphone in his bag. ‘6:45 in the morning and I’m already awake!’ Solstice thought to himself. ‘Man, this is a quiet street.’ Solstice looked drifting away from the world while he was walking down the street. “Are you new here?” A voice called out. “Hmm? Uh yeah, who are you?” Solstice turned his back to find the voice that spoke. “I’m Twilight, Twilight Sparkle. Sorry for interrupting your “thoughts” but I couldn’t help but notice that you seem new around here,” Twilight smiled sincerely. “Oh, uh I’m Solstice!” Solstice returned an awkward smile. “So, are you from here or what?” Twilight asked. “Just recently moved at an apartment that is just about a block from here, Moon drop apartments?” Solstice replied back. “Moon drop? That’s where I live!” Twilight was surprised that he was living there. “Really? Nice!” Solstice did a fist pump. “Anyway, where are you headed?” Twilight arranged her glasses like how a professor would. “CHS, are you a student there?” Solstice scratched the back of his head. “Why, yes I am! Are you a transferee there?” Twilight smiled. “Yeah, I am. Maybe later you can show me around?” Solstice asked nervously. “Sure! Meet me at the entrance later.” Twilight replied happily. Their long conversation distracted them that they didn’t notice the 6 girls staring at them at the other side of the street. “Who do you think that Boy Twilight is with?” Rainbow dash asked with a grin. “Maybe he’s a transferee? I don’t really know.” Sunset explained. “He certainly is, darling. We haven’t seen him in our yearbook from last semester.” Rarity turned her look to Sunset. “Either way, they look like they’re enjoying their conversation.” Applejack gestured. “Yeah, Twilight is really enjoying her company with that boy.” Fluttershy said softly like she always does. “How about we ask Twilight later at lunch?” Pinkie Pie was licking her fingers from that donut she recently ate. “Should we? What if she gets mad at us for snooping around her privacy?” Sunset looked at the 5 girls. “No she won’t, trust me!” Rainbow dash gestured with her hands. “Fine, let’s go girls. We have a long Monday ahead of us.” Sunset did a pose that meant: to victory! LUNCH TIME... “Twilight, who has that boy you were with?” Rarity stopped eating and pointed her spoon at Twilight. “Yeah, we saw you earlier walking down the street just talking to each other.” Rainbow dash pointed outside with her spoon too. “No one, he was just a new student!” Twilight was startled. “You sure?” Rainbow leaned towards Twilight with an evil grin. “We should throw a welcome party that would be super duper FUN!!” Pinkie couldn’t hold her excitement. “He’s just a student, Pinkie pie. He’s not from a royal family, okay?” Rainbow quickly turned her look to Pinkie who was smiling too much. “How about a sleepover at your place?” Applejack began. “Like last time with Princess Twilight.” “That would be a good idea.” Fluttershy agreed. “Then it’s decided. We’ll have a sleepover later.” Sunset began “It’s like tradition to us now. We get a new student, we befriend him/her, and then we have a sleepover. Next thing you know, he/she is a part of the elements of harmony!” Sunset smirked. “Wait what?! You mean you’re actually gonna turn him into an element like us?” Twilight gave a troubled look. “Um that’s a joke.” Sunset explained. “Oh no, I’m late!” Twilight quickly stood up. “For what?” Pinkie looked at Twilight while the others just stared at her. “I have to show Solstice around!” Twilight walked briskly to the exit. “See you later girls!” “Solstice huh?” Rarity looked at the lonely Solstice finishing his meal. “Should we introduce ourselves now?” Fluttershy also looked at Solstice. “Let’s go, girls!” Rainbow Dash stood up and waved her right hand. After that, they all stood up and went to Solstice’ table. “Hey you...”Sunset was the first to arrive and sat on Solstice’ table. “Um, hi..?” Solstice gave a look with a raised brow. “You’re Solstice right?” Sunset pointed at him while the other girls sat down and continued eating. “Uh, who’s asking?” Solstice’ body was shaking nervously because he was surrounded by girls staring at him. “You’re a nervous boy aren’t you?” Rarity’s voice was like what she uses for flirting. “Okay, please tell me what’s going on!” At this point, Solstice can’t take it. “Oh nothing, It’s just that the girl you were with, Twilight? We’re her friends! And we would like to formally introduce ourselves by inviting you to our sleepover later!” Sunset continued. “Sleepover? Um, I guess I can go later.” Solstice gave another raised brow. “Great! Meet us at 7:20PM, at this address.” Pinkie pie took a piece of paper from her bag and wrote her home address and handed it to Solstice. “Um, okay. I have to go now.” Solstice took the piece of paper and tucked it in his pocket. “Okay. We’ll uh meet you later then!” Sunset smiled. “Uh bye, I guess...” Solstice stood up, arranged his things and went to the entrance of the school. AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE SCHOOL... “Hey! Am I late?” Solstice rushed over to Twilight’s Postition. “It’s fine, really!” Twilight turned her view to Solstice. “So, shall we?” Solstice smirked. “We’ll start with the hallway.” Twilight started walking. “I’m sure you’re already familiar with the cafeteria.” Twilight pointed at the cafe doors. “Took me a hard time trying to find it.” Solstice looked at the cafeteria. “Up next is the Library!” Twilight continued on. AFTER A WHILE... “Well, that concludes are tour!” Twilight turned to Solstice and clasped both of her hands together. “This is one big school.” Solstice was looking at big dome at the centre of the hallway. “It is. When I arrived here, I had that same look on your face.” Twilight nostalgically looked up. “How long have you been a student here?” Solstice turned his view to Twilight with yet again a raised brow. “About a year now.” Twilight replied. “Wait, what time is it?” Solstice walked towards Twilight. “Well, lunchtime’s over, just in time for class!” Twilight started walking again. “Oh, well see ya! I’m in class B-2.” Solstice walked the opposite direction. “Class A-1, Bye!” Twilight looked at Solstice one more time. ‘Hope I’m not late!’ Solstice thought to himself while walking briskly to his class. ‘Class B-2, there you are!’ He went in and saw only 3 students have entered. There was a girl with blue hair, blue and white headphones, and magenta or violet glasses that was cycling through her mp3. She looked like a dj. There was also a Blue haired boy who was wearing a black leather jacket with blue jeans. He was reading through his books. There was also Pinkie pie who manically waving her hands at Solstice. “Solstice, over here!” Pinkie pie waved and waved. “Oh, Pinkie pie! Didn’t know you were in this class.” Solstice took a seat beside Pinkie. “Well, things happen!” Pinkie gestured that someone would normally do if you don’t know that answer. “So uh, who’s our advisor?” Solstice asked. “I think his name was Sir Artsy Draw. He’s also our Art teacher. Cuz’ he wanted to.” Pinkie replied. “Well, it’s a long day ahead. So anything you can tell me about last year?” Solstice looked at the clock before looking at Pinkie Again. “Oh, Last year eh? I have so much to tell you!” Pinkie got excited. “Well better get started then.” Solstice smiled. **************************END***************************
