It's only a game

There is no redo button

Left step, right step, left step, right step, left step, right step, left step, right step

Button Mash thought as he tried to not awkwardly trot to his locker on the first day of school. It was bad enough that he didn't have that many friends to begin with, but it wouldn't help if he made a complete fool of himself by just walking to his locker. As he slowly came about to locker #777 he noticed that all of the lockers had an upper locker and a lower locker. Something made him wonder that this year something peculiar will happen.

Dang it, what was my locker combination again?

Button thought, upon arriving to school, his mom made him practice his locker combination at home every day until he got it right. He had to learn it quick so he could play his Xbox 360.

30 to the right.
0 on left.
25 on right

Button Mash pulled down on the lock as it came loose on the upper locker. When he opened the upper locker he looked inside to see a couple pictures of a filly from his class posted inside of the locker door. As he took a closer look at the picture he noticed that it was a white body unicorn with a pink and purple mane. Button remembered this filly from last year though he can't think of her name.

What was her name again? Sweat Bile?

Button was in a too much of a trance to notice that the same filly from the picture was right behind him.

"Hey what do you think you're doing in my locker?" Called out from behind him.

Button Mash turned around so quickly to face this pony claiming his locker, theirs. He stared directly at the filly that was in the pictures. Matching her green eyes, and the pink and purple mane. There was no doubt that this wasn't her in the picture.

"What do you mean your locker? I was assigned to locker #777 from Miss.Cheerliee." Button Mash replied hasty

"If you haven't noticed, everypony has to share their locker this year, and it just happen to be my luck I got stuck with you" Sweetie Belle said with a cold tone in her voice

"Wait that means that we know each other’s locker combinations?" Button Mash hopping that it wasn't true only to be crushed with the answer

"Yes, and if I catch you in my locker again, may Celestia help you"

"Ok...... well, I guess we haven't met before, my name is Button Mash"

"And I'm Sweetie Belle, I would chat but class is about to-"

And with that the bell rung out signaling that class is about to begin. Sweetie Belle then shut her locker and trotted off to her class. Button just noticed that he hasn't put his books away in his locker which will be on the bottom locker.

Great, late to class on the first day of school. All because I decided to chat to Sweetie Belle instead of putting my books away. Funny, just why did I pay more attention to her than putting books away.

Button was thinking when he stopped at the door that lead him to his first bell.

"Late on the first day I see Buttons" Miss.Cheerlie first said when Button walked through the door. All of the other fillies and colts started to giggle and stare at Button

"I'm sorry Miss. Cheerlie, I just lost my way throughout the school today" Button said. Hoping that she bought this lame excuse so he didn't have to see her after school.

"Very well Button, this is the first day of school and it is fresh to you. So I will let this slip by, just this once. Now pick any empty seat that you desire and then we shall begin class with math"

Button found a seat that wasn't taken and he sat down in it. Not realizing what seat he has choose he began to get out his math book until he heard a couple giggles from his classmates. He realized that it was coming from Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"What's so funny?" Button asked quietly, hoping the teacher didn't hear him.

"Nothing" Diamond Tiara replied "Just that it's cute seeing how you and Sweetie Belle share lockers and now you pick a seat that is behind her"

"Wait wha-?"

And it just hit him. He hasn't noticed now that he was sitting directly behind Sweetie Belle.

Damnit, out of all of empty seats, I had to choose the one that was directly behind Sweetie Belle.

Button thought trying hard to take his eyes away from her Pink and purple mane. He never thought Sweetie Belle cute. Heck, he never thought of any girl being cute. Now with this distraction in front of him he couldn't pay attention to today's math lesson. Without paying much attention to how much time there was left in class, the bell had rung startling Button in the process.

Wait, class is over already? How is that possible, it seemed that it just started a couple seconds ago.

Button tried to think of a reasonable explanation until he realized that he was paying attention to Sweetie Belle the entire time during class.

Why am I all of sudden thinking about her so much? Button thoughtDo I have a crush on her or something? Do I like her? Buttons head was spinning because of this.

I guess if I like her, I should at least ask her over my house sometime later for video games. I do know her locker- I mean our locker combination. So I can slip her the note without her noticing it until she reads it.

Without realizing how much time he spent thinking about this, he was the last person in the room.

I will do it tomorrow during lunch but first I have to ask my mom so she knows what I am doing.

Thought Button as he got up from class and heading to his second bell.
