And yes, this will be in Equestria Girls, I already put a warning. If the name hasn't already stopped you, this a last warning. Alright, there we go. I stand in front of the building, gulping, and my legs shaking, refusing to advance. I hold my books tight against my chest as I stare at the school I will attend this year. The students, all females, all goes in, while I stand frozen and nervous. I feel a hand touching a shoulder to see a guy smiling at me, he's not shaking from nervosity and fear, he's clearly shaking from excitement. I sigh, before taking my courage and taking steps foward. WAIT... Let's go back a bit. My name's Silver Pen, my family is mostly known to have had great writers, philosophers and just, great minds, in the past. Hell, one of my uncle's got one of those memoriums for his contribution for the Nobel Price of who knows what. My father works for the biggest newspaper in Vanhoover, he got the Pulitzer once for an article he wrote. My mom is a teacher in a university. Then you have me, great grades and everything but nothing much more than that. My dream is to become a novelist, I mostly like to write fantasy, I write for fun, but apparently, people think my stuff are enjoyable, so I show them from time to time. As for social life, I don't much to talk about, I'm more of a book type of guy, but there is one person who is important. Solace Wings, my best and only friend, he is different from me in a lot of ways, he tends to be lazy when it comes to class (even though he still do great, I'll never understand how), but when it comes to sport, he is competitive, hard working and determined. What did unite us ? Why were we friends, well, for one, he actually talks to me, that in itself, is a good start, secondly, we love video games, yeah, who would have known, the only thing that can unite jocks and bookworms would be electronical games. Any good or at least not too awful story have at least a description, so let's get that out of the way too. I have a grey-ish skin, dark blue eyes, and messy black hair, I generally wear black turtleneck shirt, with grey jeans. I'm pretty skinny and pale globally. Solace is more bulky, way more muscular than I am, he often wears t-shirts, if not, it's jersey from his favorite sport teams, he wears joggins pants. He has an orange-ish skin, and short blond hair, with brown eyes. Now that's down, let's get back to the narration, shall we ? Like I said, our time in Vanhoover was coming to an end. Let me explain why I says that. At the beginning of the year, there was an... interesting announcement to say the least. From what I understood, Canterlot High School, an all-girl school, decided to try an experiment. They would open an co-ed wing in the school and it would coexist with the rest. Technically, the school wouldn't be a full-on co-ed establishment, the final project project 20 male student at most, in a school that holds between 400 and 500 students per year. The experiment was that two male students would be selected, and would attend the school for a year, at the end of the year, if everything went well, the student could chose to either continue to attend and would be placed in the new wing or could chose to go back to their original school. The direction could also chose to kick-out said student if he broke the directives with the contract signed between both schools. I signed up for this, more for academic reasons, I really liked my school, but Canterlot High School is one of the top rated school in the country ! I can't really let an opportunity like that pass through my hands, I'm thirsty... for knowledge ! This could be chance of a lifetime. I passed all the protocoles, psychological test, academical tests, went through a lot of administration. I had to get so many recommendations, parents, uncles, teachers, my director wrote one himself. Of course, I worked very hard all year, to get the best grades possible to help my cause. I wasn't surprised that Solace signed too, but obviously for different reasons than mine, he never liked our school that much, because there was a huge lack of teams. There was the soccer team, because it was cheap, it only really asked a ball and two nets. I know that pîssed him of, Canterlot High School has a way higher budget for that from what I've heard. And secondly, we'll just say he's a bit of a flirt. We'll leave it at that. You'll understand my surprise when we both got selected at the end of the selection process. You'll understandf that I was a bit incredulous. From what they told me, they were searching for two students with different backgrounds and personality type to see if they both could fit. If their students could interact with all kind of male students and not just one. I guess it makes sense, and it will be pretty cool to have a familiar face to go with me. After my transfer was validated by both directions, the only thing left to do was to find a place in Canterlot. My parents were okay with me going, in fact, they were ecstatic, for the reasons said earlier, for them, going to such a prestigious school was probably the best thing that could ever happen in my life. I agree. From what I gathered, they freed a room, in what willl be the future wing that will host the male students. It's pretty isolated from the rest of the girl's rooms, for obvious reasons. The months that followed were basically just fillings, preparations. They did gave us a list of rules to follow, the ethics of the school, everything you could ever have to know about the school. Mascots, sports team, clubs, achievements, uniforms, history. It was heavy reading, I'll tell you. Even for me it was really heavy, I can't imagine how hard that was for Solace. Finally the day came, and the narrative cycle is complete. Solace is looking way more foward to this than me that's for sure. I try to stabilize my breathing, as I enter the school. I hide myself behind my books as people are staring at us. I don't Solace is noticing it, he's into his zone, as he says it. I see him winking at girls and walking at confidence. But I see them, the students are looking at us with a lot of hostility, like we were intruders. I should have figured that would have to happen. This is what we basically are, I envy my friend to just being able to ignore that and carry on, but I'm not like that. If this is how things are going to be, I should have probably stayed in Vanhoover, at least, there, I was alone, but not antagonized. Better be ignored than hated. Anyway, we have to go to Principal Celestia's office to get our schedule. On the way, I noticed one group of girls from the corner of my eyes. They weren't especially different than the other groups of students, they were still staring at us, but I noticed one major difference, outside of the one with rainbow hair, what was up with that ? They were smiling. I couldn't say for sure, like I said, I only saw it for a second, but they didn't look as hateful so yeah, I'll probably notify Solace. When we will have time to socialize these will probably be the ones to go, we will just have to find the one group with someone with rainbow hair, shouldn't be that hard. - '' Are you alright bro ? We arrived '' The sound of my friend voice gets me out of my inside monologue. - '' Oh yeah, sorry, I was just thinking to myself. '' - '' Okay, so... the usual, right ? '' - '' Yeah...'' We enter the office, to see the woman that would serve as principal, she had a yellow jacket, green eyes, and... by lord ! Rainbow hair, why is there more than one in the same school ! Anyway, let's get on with the rest. She hears the door happening and she looks at us, she smiles and she gets up from her chair. - '' Oh you arrived ! I'm glad you could make it, I want to welcome you warmly to Canterlot High School, I hope you had a warm welcome. '' Solace just smiles and nods. - '' Oh it was ma'am, we had a pretty nice reception. '' I just mumble. - '' No, we didn't '' I say shyly, enough to not be heard. Celestia nods, satisfied. - '' I am happy to here that, I asked you two to come here for some reasons, first of all, we need to go back on the terms and conditions of your presence here, second, I will give you your schedule and the keys to your room. '' I am fine with that, that was I expected to do anyway. I just want to get this over with and get to class. I don't think I'll get a much better reception in class, but at least the lessons will distract me from our predicament. - '' First of all, I think we can all agree that this is still an all-girls school, so if I hear any incidents about you harrasing one of the girls, I still have all my rights to send you back, do I make myself clear ? '' We both nod, I'm more indifferent about that, it's not like I was that much interested in doing any inproper things to a girl or finding a girlfriend in this place anyway. Although for Solace, it seems to be different, I can read on his facial expression, that he seems disappointed but willing to try. I hope for his sake that he doesn't screw this up. I know he's a bit of a goofball, but he's the only friend I have, and in this place, I'll have all friends I can take. - '' Good, now that we agreed, here's your schedule, the first class will start in 20 minutes, it gives you plenty of time to find your first class and to begin to familiarize yourselves with the school. '' We get out of the officem we take a second to look at each other and sigh. - '' Well, this will be a tiny more complicated than what I initially thought. '' Solace says. - '' No, you don't say. '' - '' Anyway, we get on our way, I mean, not that I particuliary care about class, but we should we do a good first impression at the very least. '' - '' The only intelligent thing you've said all day. '' - '' Hey, it may not be as big as yours, but I've still got a brain, you know ? '' We go on our way, our first class was English, not a too shabby start, at least something like Physics. Not that I don't like that course, just that would be a though start. It takes us 15 minutes or so to get a bit familiar with the hallways and spot most of our classes. We share most of our classes for some exception. For exemple, he has one more classes in sports, while I have a classed named Free Writing, can't wait to see how this will work. 3 minutes before the clock, we arrive in the class to see that most of the students were already there. Daaamn, when they said that students here were ponctual they really meant it. By our old school standards, by this time the first students arrived, I see that we will have to up our games. Once again not the best of receptions, I could almost feel the air freeze from the coldness of the room. I take a bit of courage and walk towards one of the free seats at the back, Solace does the same. It's a shame we aren't really next to each other, he's more at the other side of the room. The teacher comes in. She presents herself as Miss Cherilee, she seems sympathetic enough. She was warm and nice, I kinda like her. I started having good feelings about all of this, until the fatidic words are said. - '' I am glad to announce that two new students are joining us today. I will invite them both to present themselves. '' Oh... for god's sake !
