//------------------------------// // Early Birdie // Story: "Being the new kid ain't so bad here" // by SolidFerret //------------------------------// Notes opened his eyes to a well nights rest after the night before. "Man, that was so boss last night." He thought out loud. "Tell me about it. You and Vinyl did a good performance last night." Hard chord said from the bed at the other side of the room. "Thanks dude." Notes said as he rested his eyes. "What the hell are we gonna do today?" "Breakfast at Sugarcube Corner?" Hard Chord suggested. "Might as well." Notes groggily as he tried to wake up. "Come on, get up." Hard Chord said as he jumped to his feet. He went over and dragged Notes out of bed. "Wake up, food will probably go fast." Hard chord said to his brother, who tried to fall asleep on the floor. A swift kick to the side got him up. "Get you lazy ass up boy." Hard Chord taunted as he threw a shirt on. Notes groaned in pain as he clutched his side and got up. "Alright you bastard." He said as he got up. "No need for force." He grunted as he stood up and put his shoes and a shirt on. "Oh shut up, Lover boy." 'Shit' Notes thought. 'does he know?' Notes ignored whatever his brother meant, though he hoped he wasn't referring to Vinyl. "Now le's go." Hard Chord said as he grabbed his wallet. the rattling of it's chain ringed through the halls as the two walked downstairs. "Where you two going this early?" Their dad asked. "Breakfast." Hard Chord answered quickly. "You know where to find breakfast here already?" Their father. "Yep, we'll bring you back something. Maybe." Notes said as he walked out the door. Hard Chord had the directions memorized from when Pinkie showed them the way. The two walked in and were greeted by none other than the pink menace herself. "Hey guys!" Pinkie greeted as they walked through the door. "Sup." Notes waved as the two took their seats. The bakery had only few people in it. Clearly due to early hours. Pinkie skipped over with a notepad to write down their orders. "So you two, what will it be?" She asked. Notes thought for a moment and said "Cinnamon roll." "Doughnut." Hard Chord said. "Okie dokie loki. Coming right up." She sad as she hopped away. The spent the rest of their time with their earbuds in, still a little drowsy from sleep. Both unaware on the girl creeping up on them. With the music loud enough, Vinyl pulled up a chair next to Notes and sat down. Hard Chord looked up and saw finger to lips notion from her. Hard Chord gave the "ok" sign and simply put his head back down. Notes was completely unaware. Notes decided to pull out his phone to text Vinyl. The funny part being she was peering over his shoulder as he typed it. Notes: Good morning. Vinyl rolled her eyes. "Buddy, you gotta try better than that." She said. "Well I li-" He turned his head and started laughing as he realized Vinyl had been sitting next to him. Notes P.O.V. "Oh, hey." I said. On the inside, I'm really screaming, I hope she didn't find out. Wouldn't want to fuck up another friendship like last time. So I think I'll just try not to be completely nervous around... her eyes... her face... her body... her. Shit, if you couldn't tell, I may be a loser, but that don't mean I'm a total loss. (I said Don't mean on purpose.) "Hey you." She said and greeted with a hug. Again, I'm lost. "Well, last night was freakin awesome." She said as our food was set on the table. "I know." I said as I took a bite. "Oh, and so there's a dance coming up in a few weeks. I think you and I can perform there." A common subject between me and my crush. Something to talk about, am I lucky or what! "Sweet." I said. I try to keep it casual. I don't want to not stop talking to her. As much as I like to. "Not much for words as usual." She said as she sipped a coffee. You know what, just don't even say anything. Besides "this sucks." "Alright. I'll give you the Kings speech everytime you say something, sound good." I replied sarcastically. "Oh tehe." She said sarcastically. Man, it rubs off on people. My mom says me and my brother got it from our Grandpa. "Well, what else is there about this dance?" I asked. "It's called the "colors of you" or something stupid like that. Basically, kids paint crap on themselves. and where colorful shirts and dye their hair for it.Yadayadayada." She said with a wave of her hand. "Well, I'll perform with you anytime." I said. Okay, let me just tell you, bad choice of words my friends. Should have worded it better. "Oh, I see how things are then." She said in a rather, flirtatious tone a girl has ever said to me. To make me blush harder, she brushed her fingers underneath my chin. "Wow. For once, I'm the third wheel." I hear from my brother, both me and Vinyl turned away from each other, why did a voice tell me she was blushing too.
