//------------------------------// // (Ch 4) Worst Impression // Story: DINKY'S VLOG // by Partycannon_ //------------------------------// *CLICK Dinky sat in her chair with a large smile but had bags underneath her eyes. It was very early in the morning as the dark orange glow came from the window. “Hey everypony! Its officially school day today,” the filly was filled with joy. Dinky still had her polka dotted tongue. “I couldn’t sleep last night, I just kept on thinking about how today is going to go. I have everything planned out, there is nothing in Equestria that could stop me from making a friend today!” the tired filly had a smug smile. “I have to go soon; we have to get there a little bit ear-” The door opened and Derpy trotted inside, “Are you ready my little muffin?” Derpy smiled until noticing the camera. The mare blushed slightly as she backed into the hallway but not before bumping into the wall. “Yeah, can you give me one second?” Dinky questioned happily. “Mhm, be quick,” said Derpy as she closed the door. “Sorry about that,” the filly smirked. “I’ll vlog as soon as I get back. Today is just going to be so exciting!” energy filled the filly as she couldn’t hold still. Dinky reached over the view. *CLICK *CLICK The curtains were closed and the light was on. Dinky sat in her chair with a defeated frown, her fur underneath her eyes were damp. The filly seemed extremely exhausted as she made an attempt to smile at the view. “Hi, I’m back from school,” Dinky said in a gravelly voice. “Today didn’t go too well, you probably already figured that out,” the filly looked away from the view. “I, um, got to school and everything was going well. Mom dropped me off and I sat in the office for a little bit before another filly sat next to me. She was awesome, she was a unicorn like me but with white fur and cotton candy like hair. We talked a little bit and I wanted to ask if she liked music but I was too scared to.” Dinky smiled lightheartedly but it fell back to a frown without a fight. “The other filly, she was an orange pegasus got there late so I didn’t talk to her. Then we um, we introduced ourselves to the class,” the filly quickly whipped away her tears. “So, I went first and um, I, yesterday I went to the doctor because of the worm and they said that it could do weird things with my voice. I couldn’t speak for like two hours,” Dinky buried her head in her hooves. “They all laughed at me and I couldn’t say anything back! I think the two other fillies in the hallway laughed as well, why wouldn’t they? I made a fool out of myself; nobody will want to be my friend. It’s just like last time,” the filly hid within her hooves more and more with each word spoken. “Why does it happen to me?” Dinky slowly lifted her head up as she began to cry. “NOTHING EVER GOES RIGHT!” the filly slammed her hoof into the table, she was filled with regret as the sting of pain ran up her body. Dinky held her hoof close to her chest while she took her other hoof and held it high above her table preparing to slam it. She was filled with hate but she couldn’t bring herself to bring down the other hoof. The filly let out a hefty sigh as she held both of her hooves to her chest. “S-Sorry,” Dinky looked away with a sullen expression. “Afterwards we took a test, it didn’t count towards our grade. I think it was so that Mrs. Cheerilee could see how smart we were,” the filly rubbed her hooves softly. “Then we went to recess and just like always I sat by myself,” Dinky’s expression changed to a mix of emotion in quick succession, the first was of anger, then was sadness and finally was defeat. “The other kids kept looking at me as they whispered to each other but most of the kids talked to the other two new fillies. It’s like they were celebrities or something,” Dinky was overwhelmed with jealousy. “The new unicorn kept looking at me, I pretended not to notice but I DID!” the filly shook her head. “When we came back inside the teacher taught a lesson but I didn’t care, I just wanted to go home. After the bell rang, I ran outside and my mom was there waiting for me. She asked me what happened but I just climbed her and told her to fly home,” Dinky let out another hefty sigh as some of her sadness left. “Mom cooked me macaroni and cheese when we got home and we both cuddled into a blanket and watched some videos about cats,” Dinky looked down as she grew a genuine grin. “I don’t want to go to school anymore, I just want to stay home with mom.” Dinky reached over the view. *CLICK
