Blooming Love.

Chapter 1 - Drama.

The room was filled with laughter and talking. Various fillies and colts around you were either talking about what they would be doing after school on the weekend or mucking around. A certain group, known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, was causing most of it.

Scootaloo, the tomboyish pony who always comes up with the crazy ideas such as bungee jumping, zip lining and extreme mountain climbing. She would always be in trouble or up to something mysteriously dangerous.

Sweetie Belle, the loving sweet pony who looked innocent in every way, but inside her was a wild side that changes how you look of her in a fun way.

And there’s Apple Bloom, the leader of the group who would not back down from anything. This southern pony would always be up to the challenge. Just like her sister, she is honest and caring, but just like her fellow crusaders, she had a wild side. But out of all the crusaders, you and she were friends who talked every now and then.

However, you took your distance from these little devils if they were together. Ever since the time when you decided to help them get their cutie marks in cooking, you knew from the minute it was dangerous with them. Besides, you weren't really friends with them anyways. They would simply ignore anyone but each other, unless it was something meant to do with their cutie mark. But you did have friends, the pegasus called Rumble would sometimes hang out or talk to you now and then. Apparently, he had a crush on Scootaloo, who is also a pegasus. Another friend of yours was Dinky. She was full of energy and would always be talking about how her mom would buy her muffins. As a matter of fact, she knew about 56 different kinds of flavours.

The rest of the class were just ponies you would say ‘hello’ to now and then, except for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They were no friends to you. You despise them. Almost all of the other ponies hated them too. The reason why was simply because of your flank. It was blank, and everyone knows what happens when you’re a blank flank and you’re around them.
As the day went on, Miss Cheerilee, our teacher, finally calmed the class down. She didn't have to yell or scream. Everypony knew when Miss Cheerilee spoke up; it was time to settle down. As she started to write fractions and junk on the board, Rumble seemed to be whispering something.

“Pssssst. Hey!” he said quietly. You looked behind to the grey pegasus.

“Yeah?”

“Hey um... you know Scootaloo?” he said.

“Err, yeah?” you say in a flat tone.

“Well, she's been giving me looks, ya know? I mean I catch her staring at me, and then she blushes and turns away. Does she feel the same w-way?” He asked, stumbling across his words.

“Well there’s only one way to find out. Ask her,” you replied.

“Bu-but what if she says no?”

“If you want to know, then just confess.”

“I dunno...” he said.

“Come on! She’s staring at you right now,” you said, teasing Rumble, causing him to blush.

“Wait wha—”

“Rumble! What did I say about talking in class?” Miss Cheerilee asked, glaring at the colt.

“Sorry, Miss Cheerilee,” he said in a low tone.

“It’s okay, but please be quiet. You're distracting the other students.”

As school came to its end, more talking had raised and the foals started to get a bit restless. Colts and fillies began to get out of there tables and move across to their friends. Miss Cheerilee only allowed this since the school day was almost over. She let them do this on rare occasions though. The only ponies who remained on their seats were the Cutie Mark Crusaders and a lone colt pegasus sitting by himself. His name was Aero. Nobody really talked to him simply because he never wanted to talk. In fact, he was quite a stubborn pony. If the rumours were right, Apple Bloom has a crush on him. Even if it was true, how could she fall for him? He’s selfish and the only ponies he'd talk to were Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. But Apple Bloom had been giving out some obvious actions. You would always catch her staring at him all day or just trying to find an excuse to talk to Aero.

As you looked back over to the CMC, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo seemed to be paying attention to Apple Bloom. She had a pencil in her mouth and a piece of paper on the table. Her face expression looked worried, shocked and uneasy. You wondered why but pushed it back into your head. She gave each of her friends a face of worry. Then she spoke up. Luckily for you, they were just in front of your desk.

“Ah dunno about this you guys,” Apple Bloom said in her usual southern accent.

“Come on! You will never find out if he feels the same way unless you ask!” Scootaloo said, almost sounding frustrated.

“I have to agree with Scoots on this. Just give him the note, walk away, and wait,” Sweetie Belle spoke with a reassuring smile.

Your mind was filling with questions. "Was she really going to ask him? How will he react? and what happens if he doesn't have the have the same feelings for her?"

“O-ok...” Apple Bloom said in defeat. She got onto her hooves and walked slowly to Aero. As she made her way to him. He just looked up to her with a flat expression.

“What do you want?” he asked in annoyance.

“Oh uhm hai Aero! I ah-uh he-here!” she stammered.

“ Uhh o-”

“‘Kay bye!” she said as she galloped back to her friends.

Apple Bloom went back to her seat, silently shaking while her friends were trying to calm her down. You looked back to Aero who had just unraveled the note. He had a face or confusing and embarrassment. After scanning it, he wrote on it and left it on his table.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

“Have a great weekend class!” said Miss Cheerilee.
As you were about to exit, Apple Bloom pushed you aside with tears running down her face. A note fell out off her mouth, landing onto the ground. You looked back to where Apple Bloom ran, only to see her heading towards Sweet Apple Acres. Curious about her outburst, you looked down to the note, revealing why she was crying.
