Zephyr Breeze POV

I have a crush on Rainbow Dash for, like, forever. Ever since I met her at Fluttershy's house five years ago at a lunch gathering, feelings in my heart had stirred for her, and haven't stopped.

She was so attractive in the outside and in the inside.

Back to the main story. A week ago, I was casually shopping in Canterlot Mall, when I saw a handsome (less than me) teenager staring at Rainbow Dash, who was in sexy clothing for an unknown reason, with hearts in his eyes.

He winked at Rainbow and she winked back.

Could Rainbow be in love with that person?

A fire ignited deep inside of me and I glared at that boy.

"No. I would do anything, ANYTHING, ANYTHING to have Rainbow as my girlfriend!" I muttered to myself.

I walked away and started planning on how to win Rainbow's heart.

Which brings me to today.

I was hiding behind a wall, sneaking peeks every now and then.

I was told by an anonymous person that Rainbow will be welcoming that teenager in that mall today, because he transferred to CHS today.

That's why I'm skipping third period today to give a little something for her.

All of a sudden, I heard Rainbow and that teenager heading along the corridor in my direction.

Clutching my bouquet of two dozen red roses (meaning romance), I took a deep breath and readied myself.

As the duo approached me, I jumped out from behind the wall.

They gasped and the teenager asked,"Who is he?"

" Um...he's Zephyr Breeze, a classmate." Rainbow replied.

What?! She only thought of me as a classmate?!

I took out the bouquet from behind my back and knelt down.

"Please accept this with my best wishes." I said solemnly.

Rainbow replied,"Um...thanks? Anyway, got to show Soarin around."

She took the bouquet and continued walking with Soarin.

Soarin. That's his name.

I saw Soarin whisper something to Rainbow.

"I don't care! Rainbow will be mine!" I said to myself with determination.
