It was a warm spring day at the elite Crystal Prep Academy and everyone was getting ready for their first period classes. Across the building, a group of students were getting ready for first period gym class. Among those students was a brainy bespectacled girl named Twilight Sparkle, or as most people called her, Sci Twi. All of the students at Crystal Prep Academy were jealous of Sci Twi's high academic achievements.
Normally, people would praise a student for being the smartest kid in school. But the students of Crystal Prep bullied her for it.
The students would constantly taunt, bully, and osctracize Sci Twi just because she was getting all of the academic awards and extremely socially awkward.
They would insult her, physically harm her by shoving her in the hallways, knock her books out of her hands and onto the floor give her dirty looks, or just outright ignore her.
And the worst part was that almost none of the teachers and faculty seemed to know or care about this.
As a result, Sci Twi was alone in school because all of the students, including the so-called "outcasts", wanted nothing to do with her and took delight in making her life completely miserable.
Sci Twi dreaded the bullying at school but she loved to learn so she toughed it out, even though it was very hard for her.
She hated gym class because she was not athletic and today things would take a turn for the worse...
The gym coach was a first year teacher named Shiny Whistle, who had taken the job after the previous gym instructor stepped down due to becoming a mother. She had no tolerance for unathletic students, especially Sci Twi. So she frequently did challenging team sports just to run her students into the ground.
Shiny blew her whistle, "All right, today we're playing dodgeball. Indigo Zap and Gumdrop, you are the team captains so pick your players wisely."
Both of the girls picked their teams until Sci Twi was the last one standing, having been picked by no one.
“Alright, I see none of you picked Twilight, again.”
One student asked, “Yeah, so?”
“I want an even playing field, that means everyone should play! Since Indigo’s team is down a player, Twilight will go on her team.”
As Sci Twi walked over, everyone groaned.
“Get in your places!”
As everyone got settled in, Indigo grabbed Sci Twi’s shirt collar and pulled her close, “Don’t! Fuck! This! Up!” Indigo sternly whispered through gritted teeth, earning a nod from Sci Twi.
The game began. Everytime Sci Twi managed to screw up, Indigo Zap and the rest of her team yelled at her while the other students laughed.
Somehow, Sci Twi was the last one standing and was facing off against the rival team captain, Gumdrop.
Shiny Whistle announced, "Alright if Twilight Sparkle can take out Gumdrop, Indigo Zap's team wins."
"Come on loser!" yelled Indigo Zap, "Throw the stupid ball!"
Sci Twi thought, "Maybe if I actually manage to eliminate Gum Drop with one throw, the bullying would possibly go away."
She threw the ball at Gumdrop hoping it would hit her but she ended up missing her.
“Really, you call that a throw?” Someone teased.
This gave Gumdrop the oppurtunity to grab the ball and throw it directly at Sci Twi's face, knocking her down.
Shiny Whistle yelled, "Gumdrop's team wins!"
As Gumdrop and her teammates celebrated, Sci Twi felt the sears of her teammate's insults.
"Nice going Sci Twi, we lost!"
"We would've won if you never even showed up today!"
"Go jump off a cliff!"
A furious Indigo Zap yelled, "YOU EAT SHIT!" and grabbed a dodgeball and threw it directly at Sci Twi, breaking her glasses and knocking her to the floor. Everyone began laughing even harder.
Shiny Whistle shushed everyone by blowing her whistle, "Alright, hit the locker rooms and Sci Twi, please try harder next time!!"
Sci Twi sighed and went to the locker room to clean up. As she was walking over, one of the boys purposely knocked her to the floor, causing more laughter.
Indigo Zap went to join her friends Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, and Lemon Zest. They looked over and noticed the laughter and verbal abuse from the classmates, and tears from Sci Twi's bruised face.
As they walked away from the scene, Indigo looked back at Sci Twi and the bullies with a look of regret starting to show.
