The drive to school was pretty okay. By pretty okay, I mean SUPER EXTRAORDINARY! I mean, come on! Scenery like this isn't really what I usually get back at my old home, and I get to ride in a car while enjoying it. A dang car! Like, it's been ages since I've ridden in one! Usually, I'd walk when I need to get somewhere, and if it's somewhere far, then I ride a bus. But, for the second time today, I almost got caught by these people. As I was looking around in awe at the car, my mom had glanced over to her right, looking right at me with a curious expression.
"What got you so excited until you're looking around the car like this is the first time riding one, Button?"
I was too surprised, I had frozen in fear, as I couldn't figure what I should tell her. I opened my mouth to answer her, but it wasn't me who answered her. "Oh, come on, mom. It's obvious he's acting this crazy because he's gonna be meeting Sweetie Belle at school soon, which happens to be his girlfriend." Gibson answered in a lazy tone as he continued to scroll down on his phone, his eyes still on the device while I stared at him in shock, before I scoffed in annoyance, looking away from him.
"She's not my girlfriend, dangit! She's just... my super-duper-awesome-cute-girl friend. GIRL. FRIEND. We got NOTHING with each other, alright!?" I answered in an annoyed tone with my cheeks coloured deep red. I quickly glanced out the window of the moving vehicle to hide my blushes, but clearly, I had failed as I heard two stifled chuckles from both my mom and Gibson for a few moments before the car fell silent again.
Though, a few moments after the car became quiet, I suddenly widen my eyes with dread as I realized what I had just said earlier. HOLD THE PHONE! Am I... in love with Sweetie Belle!?
The rest of the drive was thankfully peaceful and quiet, which helped me a lot in getting my mind sorted from that shocking information of me having a crush on a supposed fictional character on a TV show. Though, that drive still didn't help me out, as, after a few minutes, the car slowly stopped in front of... Canterlot High School, where the Equestria Girls movies took place.
I stared at the school in front of me, where I could see some of the students from the Equestria Girls movies walking around, interacting with each other like this was just another day at high school. Holy... mother of diamonds... This place looks so... real. My mind is now blown. Press F, please, to blow my mind again, dream.
I was so lost in thoughts, that I didn't even realize I had walked out of the car, say goodbye to my mom, parted ways with Gibson, and had entered the school, walking the hallways until I accidentally bumped into somebody, making me topple over them and fall onto my back with a loud thud, which resulted in me letting out a grunt of pain.
"Oww... What the...?" I could suddenly hear a young squeaky girl voice, but it suddenly made me blush madly for some reason. W-Wait! I-I've heard that voice before! I-It can't be! To confirm my suspicions, I quickly sat up and looked towards where I had fallen down, and my mind, once again, blew up, as the person I had crashed into had to be her. The candyfloss colour of pink and purple with the pink hairband. The pale white skin with beautiful green eyes to compliment her beauty. The pink boots. The yellow skirt. The pink jacket covering a white striped with a pink T-shirt. It just had to be her.
"S-Sweetie Belle!?" I stammered out, before mentally kicking myself in the butt for the stutter. Yep. That's definitely how a man should talk with a woman. STUTTER OUT HER NAME MORE, BUTTON!
Thankfully, Sweetie Belle didn't notice the stutter but instead raised an eyebrow at me as she dusted off the dust on her skirt. "Button? What the heck was that? Did you just slam into me?"
I gulped nervously, before nodding slowly, grinning sheepishly. "Whoops?" I stood up slowly as I myself dusted off some dust gathered on my pants, before I walked over to Sweetie Belle and offered her my hand, smiling a bit. "Madame? Vous avez besoin d'aide?" What the crap!? Did I just... speak French!? Okay, this is getting a bit too weird...
Sweetie Belle glared up at me with a cute pout on her lips, before she grabbed hold of my hands, pulling herself up, still glaring at me. “Well, thank you, my Tender Button... now, can you explain why you slammed into me even after I had called out to you earlier!?”
I stared at her with a nervous smile as I rubbed the back of my head in shame. "Umm... I was just... thinking about games?" I chuckled a bit, still feeling shame for knocking a lady to her knees without me noticing- Woah woah woah! What the crap did I just call Sweetie Belle!?
A-Anyways, Sweetie's stare stabbed into me like a dagger for a few moments, before she sighed, rolling her eyes, as she nudged me in the shoulders with one of her hands. “Well, thank goodness I’m into games as much as you are... or not, your face would’ve been filled with holes by now...”
I gulped nervously, chuckling forcefully as I walked on over to my locker, which happened to be right next to where I had crashed into Sweetie Belle, opening the locker up. “Though, I’m really sorry for bumping into you, Sweetie. I just had a lot to think about... relating to games, of course.” I continued quickly after seeing her confused stare directed at me, as she leaned against the locker next to mine.
As I took out my books for the day, I, again, just noticed that I somehow knew where Button’s locker was for some reason, without actually knowing nor seeing him in any of the EG movies. Oh... I guess because I’m Button Mash now, I have his memories and I act like how he does then... I, uhh, guess that’s nice...
I closed the locker, and glanced towards where Sweetie Belle was standing at but was greeted by a curious stare from those beautiful green eyes owned by the cutest crusader ever- NOPE NOPE NOPE! I am NOT doing this to myself! Nada nada!
I was brought out of my thoughts by a throat clearing itself, and I stood there, still staring at Sweetie Belle, who was now raising an eyebrow. I continued to stare back, before shaking my head to clear my thoughts, looking back at her with a nervous smile. “Uhh... what?”
Sweetie Belle got up from where she was leaning against, and crossed her arms, approaching me. “Are you feeling okay, Button? You keep zoning out, doing this and that... it doesn’t seem like you at all...”
I widened my eyes, shocked by Sweetie Belle’s perfect assumption. Ah crap... this is terrible... umm... I quickly coughed as I hugged my books tightly to my chest with one arm as I scratched my head with the other.
“W-Well... I did have a terrible headache this morning, and my mom did say it might’ve got to do with me playing a new game I bought yesterday until past midnight... so, that might explain why I’m not acting like myself... so, whoops?” I shrugged with my empty hand, letting out a nervous chuckle.
Sweetie Belle continued to stare at me for a few more moments, which resulted in me sweating madly, before Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes, walking over to me and- I widened my eyes in shock as she planted a kiss on my cheeks, before looking into my eyes with those soft yet caring green eyes of hers, and with a smile that I have seen only once in a YouTube video: a smile filled with love, not from family, but a... lover. "Don't be a dummy next time, Button... You might not know this, but I care for you way too much already... alright...?"
Just from those simple words, my heart had fluttered like crazy, as my eyes went wide and my jaw fell to the floor. Wow... So, she actually likes me back as well...? Suddenly, it felt like everything around us froze in time, as both of us looked into each other's eyes, caught in one another's gaze. Okay... Now I gotta admit, she really is a beautiful girl up close and personal... Just the... two of us...
I guess she was thinking almost the same thing as I did, as both of our cheeks lit up in bright red, still gazing into each other's eyes. Then, we suddenly started inching forward towards one another, slow and steady, now a few centimetres away from each other's lips... before reality decides to slam into us again.
RIIING!!!
The bell rang. I swear, I am going to tear it to pieces for ruining this perfect moment with me and Sweetie Belle... Almost feels like a cliche'...
We both blinked in surprise at the sudden interference in our moment, and looked up at the bell for a few moments before we both looked back at each other, fear filled in our eyes.
"We have Ms. Harshvoice as our first class, don't we...?" I asked, fear clearly sketched in my voice, as Sweetie Belle nodded with haste.
We stared at each other for a few more seconds, before we bolted for our first classroom, side by side, with our hands interlocked in one another's.
Both of us, whilst running, hoped in our hearts not to get yelled at from the teacher for being late to class. Well, school, here I come... again. Hopefully, school will be alright...
