Chapter 4 - Everypony Apologizes

Asterisk asked some of her classmates if they had seen her video.

Some of them had seen while some had not.

Still Asterisk decided to wait.

The next day was Wednesday. Asterisk went to school and all bad things changed to good on that day. She happily entered her class after Assembly along with other fillies and foals of her class.

After entering her class, Asterisk was happy to see that a few of the ponies who had teased her or made fun of her had come to her to apologize.

Star Glory, the foal who had asked Asterisk to bring a phone to school and to draw on the walls of the classroom, felt ashamed of his behaviour when he watched the video.

Star said to Asterisk, "I-I am sorry, Asterisk, for all that I had told you."

Asterisk replied, "It's okay. I understood that you said all that jokingly. But don't say that ever again."

Asterisk was happy that Star Glory had realised his mistake and had apologized to her on time.

Then during Break Time, came Tender Light, the filly who had teased Asterisk, when Asterisk and Prism were going to wash hooves together.

But at first, Tender just laughed and smiled proudly and rudely and just said, "Asterisk! Now I see that Prism is really your best friend!"

But soon she felt ashamed of her behaviour and apologized.

This made Asterisk more relieved.

Now, the time had come for Jasmine and Prism to apologize. But they didn't seem like they would. They both were a lot like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the two earth pony fillies who always made fun and bullied the Cutie Mark Crusaders and other fillies and foals for not having Cutie Marks. But there was one difference - that they didn't laugh at Asterisk for not having a crush as they had theirs. They didn't apologize, or even regret their behaviour, but Asterisk didn't mind. She just kept on working hard.

For the next few days, Asterisk proved herself capable of managing the class.

About a few weeks after the Examinations, Ma'am announced, "So, I'm sorry, Shine Light and Starlight Glow, you're not good enough in managing the class. As I said previously, new Class Monitors can be elected even every month, the new Class Monitors are Asterisk Magical Galaxy and Sunflower Magic! I hope they can manage the class well!"

"Yay!" Everypony cheered.

But that moment was not very good for Shine and Starlight as they lost their Monitorship. They just stared at Asterisk, wondering how could a new student like her deserve Monitorship. Shine envied Asterisk even more.

This time, Asterisk and Sunflower minded the class whenever there were no Teachers in the class.

Asterisk said to the class when the class was making noise, "Don't talk that much. Now, who wants to listen to a story? Sunflower will tell you one!"

So half of the class stopped making noise. The other half was still making noise.

Asterisk said, "Please do stop. Talk softly if you really need to talk. If half of the class still keeps on making noise, then how will the others be able to listen to Sunflower's story?"

The class stopped at this. Soon the story started.

What would happen before, when the Class Monitors were Shine and Starlight was that, the class would scream and shout and the Monitors would shout at the class at the top of their voices, "Don't talk! Please! I am telling you not to talk and you are still continuing to talk loudly! Why are you shouting like this?!"

The class, finding it funny, would start laughing loudly, annoying the Class Monitors.

The Teachers would come to the class and ask the Monitors what work were they doing, when they couldn't keep the class quiet.

Starlight would complain that they were telling the class to be quiet, but the class wasn't listening to them.

But half of the fault was of the class and half of the fault was of the Class Monitors.

But to Asterisk and Sunflower, Monitorship was like a gift. They considered it as a responsibility given to them by the Teacher. So they did their best to keep the class quiet.

Soon Class VII-B became a quiet and peaceful class under the Monitorship of Asterisk and Sunflower.

The Class Monitors were happy with the class and so was the class with them.

Teachers told Asterisk and Sunflower that it was their hardwork and wisdom that helped them to transform a noisy and shouting class into a quiet and peaceful one.

Both Asterisk and Sunflower were happy to receive the gift of Monitorship.
