//------------------------------// // Where to Begin // Story: More than What You Think // by Silent Wars of Minds //------------------------------// I am honestly glad that Octivia is off at a concert. She sometimes comes over randomly when I least expect it. Yeah, she lives next door. We used to be room mates. That was in college though. No, we aren't in love with each other. That rumor makes me sick. The reason behind that rumor was probably formed from a joke I once told Derpy. That was one of my mistakes. I don't actually mind people calling us gay. As long as it's behind my back. So what exactly do you want to know? My college life, or my childhood? Everything? That might take a while. I am an adult after all. I suppose I could, especially since Tavi is gone. Some of the things I think about her aren't always nice. Don't think that I've always been nice to her. My feelings? About Octavia? It's not love feelings. It's more of a 'best friend' feeling. I could start with that. When I first met Octavia, it was hatred I first felt. She had beaten me in a music competition in high school. I was furious at her. I had wanted soo badly to win and prove to my parents music was a great talent. I'll get into that stuff later. I became competitive against her. I tried to beat Tavi in everything. I have to honestly say, I didn't beat her most of the time. She was quiet, smart, and calm. I was loud, ambitious, and wild. Basicly the opposite of her. I think the only thing I really did beat her in was in rock music. Let me tell you, Octavia sucked at it. I don't blame her for failing. She's always been a classical kind of pony. I finally got to really know her in my last year at high school. We had been chosen as the best musicians and were asked to perform a remix song at the graduation. It took a whole lot of arguing, but we finally came up with something. A classical/rock remix song. It was awesome. I rocked at guitar. We knew each other a little bit by then. Both of us were offered a scholarship to a music academy. Octivia agreed right away. As for me, it took some battling with my parents before I finally said ok. In college, we became great friends. We hung out, held parties (at least, I did), and messed around with our other friends. Octavia hung out with Lyra, I hung out with Derpy. It was great. That's basically it for our friendship. It's been the same ever since. Bored yet? No? Well then, keep on listening cause next is my childhood. And that was very interesting, yet rough at the same time, no thanks to my parents. Listen closely.
