The first day of school usually goes right, right?
WRONG!
Twilight had chosen the most perfect outfit for her first day: A button-up collared shirt with a purple sweater vest and a black skirt. Spike wasn't willing to let Twilight go, but after giving him a doggie treat, he was okay with it. Twilight ran down the stairs and grabbed her breakfast, wrapped it up, and dumped it in her backpack. But before she could even head out, her mom stopped her.
"My, my, aren't we in a rush today." her mom chuckled.
"Sure are. School starts at 8:00, it's a 30 minute walk from here." Twilight says, grabbing the door handle.
Her mom smacked her hand.
"Who said anything about 'walking'?"
Oh no...
***
Usually, Twilight and her mom would sing along to the radio and talk about politics (boring) before Twilight gets to school.
Today was quieter than ever.
Twilight sat in the front seat, staring out the window, glancing at the car's clock, then at the window again. It was a continuous pattern that never seemed to stop. She saw kids walking and talking on their way to school, others holding hands and making out, the usual. Her mom wasn't used to the quietness and wanted to put an end to it.
"So," she started, "How'd the interview go? I know I didn't ask yesterday, but I'd like to know."
Twilight shrugged, "Why, it was smashing!"
Sarcasm. Her mom knew that, but decided to play dumb.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Don't you get it? A girl literally smashed into me with her dumb skateboard on my way out." Twilight growled.
"What?! That's unbelievable!"
"I know, right? Overall, the interview was great! I really believe I'll pass the school year here. Who am I kidding? I am going to pass the school year here!"
"Let's not get too cocky." her mom frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Make some friends sweetie,"-Twilight groaned-,"You have to understand something: making friends is a wonderful experience!"
"But getting amazing grades is twice as wonderful!" Twilight argued.
They had arrived at the school. Some kids were hanging outside and chatting. Twilight drew a deep breath.
"Wish me luck," she said.
"You already have it. See you later." her mom replied back.
Twilight got out of the car and closed the door behind her. She sighed and walked towards the school, trying to look confident. Some other kids noticed this and just laughed at her. Twilight didn't seem to notice and opened the front doors.
"OOOOOOH! NEW STUDENT! BACK OFF EVERYONE! I CALLED DIBS!" a bubbly voice called out.
Suddenly, a blur of pink tackled Twilight, knocking her off balance.
"HI! MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" the girl asked.
"Tw-Twilight Sp-arkle." a terrified Twilight sputtered.
The girl was wearing a pink shirt with 2 blue and a yellow balloon on it, pink skinny jeans, and pink sneakers. Damn, she loves pink.
"Well, Tw-Twilight Sp-arkle," Pinkie said, "You're new which means you don't know anyone. If you don't know anyone, you're lonely. If you're lonely, you have no friends, which makes Pinkie saddy-waddy."
"I-er, okay?" Twilight was still baffled.
Pinkie helped Twilight to her feet and was grinning like a maniac, "Can I see your schedule?"
"Why would you-"
Before Twilight could finish her question, Pinkie grabbed Twilight's book-bag and searched until she found her target. She looked at it and gasped.
"WE HAVE THE SAME CLASSES! THIS IS PINK-TASTIC! NOW I HAVE CLASSES WITH ALL MY FRIENDS!" she yelled excitedly.
"Friends?" Twilight has gone from terrified to baffled to 'what the fuck?' mode.
"Yeah! You're my friend! Everyone here is my friend. Except for meany-weenie Sunset Shimmer." Pinkie pouted.
"Who's Sunset-"
The bell rang. Twilight gasped.
"I'm going to be late! And on the first day too!" she whined.
"No you're not." Pinkie said, still grinning.
"Wh-why not?"
"Because we're already here, see?" Pinkie pointed to Twilight's first class which was right next to them.
"How'd I miss that?"
They entered the class, the teacher somehow was sleeping, her head on the desk, with an alcoholic drink in her hand. The plaque on her desk read, "Miss. Berry Punch." The kids were throwing paper airplanes and talking loudly and standing and jumping on the tables. Pinkie took Twilight to an empty seat on her table.
Table, not desk. Yes...these kids are in groups.
There were four other girls on the table, two reading and the other two arm wrestling.
One had purple hair, diamond earrings, wearing a white dress with a black belt, and white and gold-studded high heels. She had blue eyes. The girl next to her has pink hair and was wearing a T-neck sweater with long sleeves and a brown skirt. She wore black flats. She had bluish-green eyes. The other girl had blonde hair done in a low ponytail, wearing a brown Stetson hat on her head. She wore a orange plaid shirt, which was tied up, and daisy-dukes, also wearing cow girl boots. She had green eyes and freckles. Twilight looked at the other girl next to blonde and gasped.
"YOU!" she shouted.
The girl looked up and her eyes went wide. The girl was Rainbow Dash.
"YOU!" RD replied back. Just then, blonde smashed Rainbow's hand on the table.
"I won." she grinned. She had a country accent.
"My, my, what do we have here," purple girl asked, "A young, new, addition to our group."
"Yes indeed-ily! Her name's Twilight Sparkle. Twilight, that's Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash."
"Hello darling, a pleasure to meet you." Rarity said.
"Uh...hi." Fluttershy said, just barely.
"Howdy!" Applejack greeted Twilight with the warmest smile, which made Twilight smile.
"Whatever." Rainbow muttered, earning an elbow-to-gut from Applejack.
"Are you Team Edward or Jacob?" Pinkie asked.
"...what?" Twilight asked.
"If your name's Twilight, didn't you watch the movie?" Pinkie asked.
"Just because my name is Twilight, doesn't mean I watched the movie, which I did." Twilight explained.
"..."
"..."
"...so which team are you on?"
Twilight face-palmed. Clearly this girl was an idiot. Applejack chuckled.
"Don't mind Pinkie Pie, sugarcube. She's a few apples short of bushel, if you know what I mean."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...actually, I don't know what you mean." Twilight said.
"FUCK MY ASS BITCH!" Berry Punch exclaimed in her sleep, waking herself up. The class stared at her as she woke up and wiped the drool off her face. She saw Twilight and scowled, grabbing her attendance sheet.
"And you are?" Berry Punch said, looking back at Twilight.
"Twilight Sparkle." Twilight replied.
"Ugh, newbie. Well, my name is Berry Punch, your English teacher and- DERPY! Stop licking the muffin crumbs off the floor!"
The blonde with the yellow wall-eyes, looked up and said, "I just don't know what went wrong! One minute I'm eating a muffin. The next it's on the floor."
"Just get your ass up."
Derpy frowned, but got up and sat in her seat. Her friends, Lyra, Bon Bon, Colgate, and Carrot Top, kept telling her it was okay. Berry punched sighed and sat back at her desk.
The minute she did, she passed out and fell asleep.
The class looked at her for a few minutes before returning to their conversations. Twilight rolled her eyes. She now understood why the rating was so low.
"So, Twilight, had any love interests at your old school?" Rarity asked, dying to know.
"No. I actually rarely paid attention to guys at school." She replied.
"Not even a girl? You know there's such thing as homo-sexuals. Rainbow's a homo." Rarity said.
"Ithoughtweagreedtoneverletanyoneknowthat." Rainbow said in a hushed, rushed, and whispered tone.
"Is that why you hang out with these girls so much?" Twilight asked, taunting Rainbow.
"No one asked for you to speak, Kristen Stewart." Rainbow growled.
"MY NAME IS NOT KRISTEN STEWART!!!" Twilight yelled, catching everyone's attention.
"Gee, settle down Twilight. I was only joking." Rainbow laughed.
"Whatever." Twilight said.
"Well...me, Fluttershy, and Rares aren't homos, buuuuttt, AJ would never let us in. We think it's top secret!" Pinkie said.
"It ain't top secret, and I'm still not tellin' y'all...ya blabber too much." Applejack said.
"Aw, come on AJ. You don't have to hide the fact that you love me!" Rainbow said, hugging Applejack.
"I do NOT! Why are we even talking about this anyway? Twilight shouldn't know 'bout this." Applejack said, pushing Rainbow Dash off.
The bell rang. It was time for the next class. *sigh* With these girls...
Twilight sat at lunch, eating her chips and minding her own business, when all of a sudden, 5 girls filled the seats around her. She sighed heavily and looked at the grinning girls.
"Can I help you?" Twilight asked.
"Not really! We just added another place in our friendchip circle! *snort* Get it? Friendchip?" Pinkie giggled, pointing at Twilight's chips.
"Oh...so who's going to fill that place? Hopefully your friend didn't chip a tooth and needs to fill it up like a cavity." Twilight said, chuckling at what she said. Pinkie tilted her head a little to the side.
"I don't get it." she said.
Twilight rolled her eyes and continued eating her chips. The girls were still smiling at her and she couldn't seem to figure out why. She put her bag down and sighed again.
"Look, I get that you want to be my friends. But...I just don't-"
"Attention everyone! The hottest girl is in the house!" someone announced.
"Here we go." Rainbow said, biting into her apple.
A girl came walking into the cafeteria with her posse walking right behind her. She had yellowish-orange and red hair like fire and was wearing a black leather jacket with a tank top that has a sun stitched to it and short-shorts. There was also a boy who caught Twilight's eye. He had blue hair and blue eyes and a cute smile. He wore a blue shirt with a shield and a lighting bolt on it and blue jeans. Her heart was beating out of her chest when she saw him.
Until he kissed the girl.
"Who are those two?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer- the most famous couple in the entire school." Rarity sighed.
"I hate relationships. All that mushy stuff; it sickens me." Rainbow said.
"Yeah, sure it does, Rainbow." Applejack said, rolling her eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
"Anyway," Rarity continued, "If you want to be popular like them, you need to be on the cheer-squad, the academics team, sports teams-"
"The academics team? I love those teams!" Twilight squealed.
"You didn't let me finish, *sigh*, you have to join them...all at the same time."
"Oh. I don't care much for popularity, anyway. I hate all that attention."
"WHAT?!" Rarity and Rainbow Dash shouted, causing the cafeteria to look in their direction.
Sunset Shimmer glared at their table, until she realized who they were, and laughed, "You dare take the attention away from me?"
"Oh, i-it's nothing like that! N-not at all!" Rarity denied, shaking her head.
"We're just discussing party plans! And w-we were going to invite you!" Pinkie joined in.
*laughs* "Like I was going to any one of your lame parties. Puh-leeze!" Sunset scoffed.
"I don't understand why anyone would invite you to their party." Rainbow mumbled.
"What was that, Rainbow Crash? You want to go out with me? I would love to, but I haven't got my cootie shots yet." Sunset teased.
"Did you get ANY shots yet? I'd love to give you one right now!" Rainbow growled, getting up from the table. Applejack sat her back down.
"Easy there, girl. No reason to be tusslin' with someone like her." she said, glaring at Sunset.
"Whatever. I'm better than all of you," she leaned over to Twilight, "You wouldn't want to get into trouble with me, would you?"
Twilight gulped, "N-no. Not at all."
"I've never seen you before. Are you new here?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know what we do to new kids here?"
Uh oh.
Twilight was walking home from school. And she really hated her life.
Okay, not her life. Her school.
Who knew pouring a gallon of jelly (yes, they have that now) on a girl's head was stickier than crazy glue? Not her
Well, she did now. All she needs is some bread and peanut butter so it wouldn't be a total waste.
NOT!
