The Boxer's Cornerwoman

by Winter Fox


New place, same bull

Beep,Beep,Beep. I reached out and shut off my alarm and got out of bed. I went to the Dresser at the end of the bed. I pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans and a deep wine red t-shirt, with an image of a ram skull in purple color, and headed to the bathroom to get dressed. “Hey, Phobos wake up and get dressed for school,” I spoke out loud. I returned a few minutes later with a few pieces of toast and our backpacks for school. Phobo’s backpack was a black one with white little skulls on it and mine was a simple blue one. “Here’s our bags and breakfast we will need to leave in about fourth five minutes to get to school in time.”

“Thanks, bro and do we have our supplies and such?”

“Yup packed them last night for us.”

“Well, I am going to go read while we wait.” Phobos grabbed a random book at the end of his desk and headed to the living room. I followed him and went to stretch out my muscles a little more.

The time passed quickly and we went downstairs and exited the gym. “Put your bag in the back and let us get on our way.”

As I was driving I had to come to stop at a red light and looked around and saw a pet shelter to the left and a girl with pink hair walking towards the direction of the school. I turned away as I saw the light turn green.

I parked the car and got out when I arrived at the high school with a couple of minutes to spare. “Holy crap I am cutting it a little close.” I quickly rush up to the steps and get inside. I pause a second to take in my surroundings. It is the typical entrance to a school with a few hallways going every which way with what looks like a trophy case filled with an assortment of medals and awards. I felt something bump into me while I was examining the entrance.

“Oh, I’m sorry I Didn't see you there.”
I turn around to see the girl with pink hair behind me with an assortment of other people. “No it was my fault I shouldn’t be standing in the middle of the entrance of the school. Have a nice day.” I walk to what I assume is the main office to the left and knock on the door.

“Come in please.” I opened the door and stepped into the office. “Please take a seat. May I ask what you need help with?”

“Yes, my name is Agni. I was transferred to this school today.”
“Ah, you must be my newest transfer. Welcome to Canterlot high. I am Head  Principal Celestia and my younger sister is Vice Principal Luna.”
“Hello, Principal Celestia. I came for my schedule for the day.”
“Very well, let me get it real quick.” She started to look over the papers and found it. “Here we are, Agni Aliward, It says you have most of the regular classes and you have a music elective. May I ask what you play?”
“Just percussion. Just do it to past time.” Agni grabs his sheet. “Thank you, Principal Celestia, I will be heading to class now.” Agni turns and exits the door and makes his way to his first class of English.

Took some time but Agni Finally finds his first classroom. “God this place is like a maze.” Agni knocks on the door and he hears the teacher stop class to open the door. The door opens to show the class was in the middle of the lesson.

“Come on in.” A voice rings through the door. Agni reaches and opens the door to the classroom. “Hello, you must be my new student Agni. Guessing you got lost in the hallways?”

“Yes sorry, sir,” Agni responds before standing in front of the class.

“Well. Class this Agni Alyward. He is a transfer from Manehatten. Give him a warm welcome.” The teacher states as he waves his hand towards to Agni.

Agni smile and bows his head. He quickly heads to his seat and sits down. He looks around and sees a couple of students here and there taking notes. He goes to pull out his notebook and starts to write down notes.

A few hours later

Agni was putting away his books as the bell signaling the end of class rang. He got up and started making his way out of class. As he walks out he bumps into a pink-haired female knocking down her books. “Oh, I’m so sorry to let me help you.” He bends down and starts to help pick up the books.

    “Hi, I’m Agni. Sorry about that by the way.” He states as he hands the books back to her.

    “Thank you. I’m Fluttershy.” The girl whispers quietly hiding behind her hair.

`    “Umm could you speak up I couldn’t hear you.” Agni asked.

    “I’m Fluttershy and thank you.” She repeats louder and starts fidgeting a little.

    “Ah, there we go. Well, your welcome Fluttershy and have a nice day.” Agni says before walking to his next class.

    As Agni is walking to his next class he stops when he hears some voices in a side hallway. “Come on guys please leave me alone I did what you asked.” Agni peeks around the corner and sees a skilly pale kid being surrounded by two kids.

“We aren’t asking for much just your lunch money. I didn’t bring any and you wouldn’t want me to go hungry Snails?” one of the bullies said with a little chuckle.

“But I need this money. It is for my lunch and its taco day.” Snails say quietly.

    “Well to bad give it to …” The bully suddenly gets decked from the side. The other one turns to see Agni there pulling back his arm.

“Leave him alone,” Agni says circling around to help Snails up.

    “Yeah, and what if I just beat your ass instead?” The other bully says cracking his knuckles.

    “I would love to see you try.” Agni lowers into his boxing stance ready.

    As the bully starts to charge Agni a voice shouts out. “Hey cut the crap already and move it to class.” It was the girl from the gym with rainbow hair.

    “What do you want Rainbow Dash can’t you see we are in the middle of something?” The bully snarls at her.

    “Yeah, I can see you about to lose a fight and that you are bulling a student. Would you like me to be involved as well?” Rainbow says stepping forward.

    “No. this isn’t worth it anyway.” The bully grabs his friend and help him to stand up straight.”Be warned new kid you just painted a target on your back.” The two leave quickly.

    “Thanks for the help,” Agni says turning to check on the kid. “You okay?”

    “Yeah, thanks but I need to go I can’t be later to class.” Snails say hurrying away.

    “Welp I got to go see you around new kid.” Rainbow turns and leaves as well.

    Agni quickly grabs his books and starts to look for his next class
