Fluttershy looked down at the floor as she left the Principal's office. She didn't know what she was going to do. She only got half of the homework done before Coach found her and failed her for today's work.
Her eyes went down the hall to where she normally meets Sunset Shimmer. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She couldn't bring herself to meet up with her. She knew it wouldn't end well. Against what her head was telling her, she ran towards her next class.
She watched out for everyone she saw, hoping not to meet the angry girl or her subordinates. In fact, that was what she did all day. Till lunch time, when she was finally caught. She ran out of the cafeteria when she saw Sunset Shimmer, only to be caught by Snips and Snails in the hallway.
"Are you brain dead or something? You had one simple job and you couldn't even do that." Fluttershy turned and looked at the other girl before being pushed down. "I thought I made it clear enough, but I guess shy is the same as stupid." She gave her a glare that shot right through the smaller girl.
A smirk came on her face as she noticed how Fluttershy had down pigtails today. "Daw,look at the poor girl. She is actually trying to make herself look cute. Like that can ever happen."
Sunset Shimmer wrapped three of her fingers around Fluttershy's left hair tie as she leaned down to her. "Compared to me, you are nothing." To go along with the venom in her last word, she yanked the hair tie out. A few pink hairs were pulled out as well with a yelp from the yellow skinned girl. The other girl chuckled. The boys laughed too since their queen did.
"Hope you learned your lesson." Sunset walked away with her slave boys.
Fluttershy stayed where she was sitting. She noticed a few people looking at her and most didn't even bother and kept walking. None of them would do anything. They didn't want to end up like her.
That was when she noticed a pink hand offering to help her up. She looked up to see Big Mac. Fluttershy could feel her cheeks getting warm as he helped her up. She could also tell by the look on his face that he wasn't happy with her.
He didn't say anything, but went behind her and fixed her hair. Having two sisters taught him a thing or two about hair. "I told you that you could come to me. Why didn't you tell me?"
Fluttershy shook her head. "It is nothing,Big Mac. I'm fine. I-"
Big Mac covered her mouth with his hand. "If you ain't gonna tell me. At least tell someone. Prinicpa' Celestia or Luna, Nurse Redheart, Cherilee, somethin'." He looked her in the eyes. He always liked the bright blue in her eyes. It reminded him of water.
Fluttershy moved his hand away from her mouth and nodded. "I-I will,but I still want to try to handle things myself. I'm not a little girl anymore." She shyly smiled at him, trying to make him and herself feel better.
Big Mac sighed. "Just needing help doesn't mean doing things alone,Shy." But he knew that she was one that learned from experince, though he didn't want it to go too far before she realized. He decided to change the subject. "You should get your hair out of your face."
He looked at her other hair tie that he took out and noticed a small butterfly on it. He took out a hair clip from his pocket. Mac thanked the fact that his sisters had wild hair and it made him form the habit of carrying a clip just in case. He took the apple off the green hairclip and took the butterfly off the tie. Then he added them together to make a buterfly clip.
Gently, he moved her hair back and clipped it out of her face. "There. That is better." A small smirk came on his face before he walked away.
Fluttershy couldn't help but smile. She was happy to have Big Mac around. He always knew what to do to make her smile.
