I threw my paper ball at the teacher, it hitting the chalkboard. She turned around and I looked down, quickly grabbing my pencil; and started writing. The teacher sucked her teeth, turning back to the big black chalkboard.
I snickered. Always get away with it. To be honest though, this teacher was kind of a bitch. Like every single one in this dreaded school. Middle school, here at Shoe, is pretty bad.
Every pony here fights, or disrespect each other; and I`m one of them. When I came here, I didn't have any friends. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, is what they call themselves, became my best friends.
Since I`m a buck, I protect them. They mess with one of us, they mess with all of us. A lot of ponies avoid me, due to the fact of my strength. I`m not the strongest in the school, but I`m not the weakest.
I haven`t got in a fight...yet. This school is mostly filled with zebras, though. They fill up much of the population of the school. But, they act just like ponies and that`s that.
I wrote my name on the top of the paper. Velocity. My name was that, because I`m a Pegasus. My special talent is flying, just like my Aunt Rainbow Dash. My Cutie Mark is a bullet, with flames behind it.
I won every single race I ever was in. Back then. Now, I barely fly anymore. I still have to go to Gym, and I have no problem with that. Aunt Dash doesn't like it, but I only visit her occasionally.
"Alright class, the bell is about to ring. Velocity, what is the square root of 4?" Ms. Cane asked me. I blinked in confusion and looked up, then back at my paper. Blank. Crap! Um...Aha!
"2?" I asked, every student looking at me. Sweetie Belle slumped and Scootaloo shook her head. That meant I was wrong. Yay!
"That is wrong, Velocity." She said, just trying to sound disappointed. I sighed, brushing my mane out of my eyes. It was dark grey, it looks how my Aunt Dash`s mane used to look like. My coat was golden, fur sticking up in several places.
Ring! I jumped out my chair, Everypony else just calmly stood up. I grabbed my saddlebags, my papers, quills, and notes jumping inside as I trotted towards my next class.
"Velocity! Wait up!" I heard Sweetie, Scoots, and Bloom yell behind me. I slowed my walking, almost stopping completely. They catched up, taking their places at my side.
"Yeah, what`s up guys?" I said looking side-to-side, trying to look at all of them at the same time. They looked at each other, and started whispering together.
"We are having a sleep over at Apple Bloom`s house and we were wondering..." They looked down, before Apple Bloom spoke up, finishing their sentence. "If you wanted to come over!" I blinked in confusion. For the second time today.
"Um...Sure." I said. Wow. That was single handedly the stupidest decision you made in your life, Velocity. You`re going to have to live with that.
"Thanks, we`ll see you there." They said walking off, squealing in delight. I sighed, looking at the clock. Ring! Great. I`m late. I groaned as I walked to my next class. Language Arts...
I arrived at Language Arts, my teachers muffled by the thick door. I sighed...again. I walked into class, students stopping and looking at me. I walked to my desk, setting my saddlebags on top of it.
I pulled out a piece of paper and a quill, quickly writing my name on it. I hate this class. The teacher kept talking, the other on the computer.
"Velocity, why are you late?" The teacher asked, after she stopped talking.
"I`m always late." I said, with my famous 'I really don`t care right now' tone.
"Well, that`s why you`re failing." She said.
"Meh." I said, shrugging my shoulders. I looked up at the clock, it`s big hoof on the 'one'. Only one hour to go, than I`m outta here!
Time flew by, the teacher explaining and talking during all of it. My head lay on my hoof, the rest of my body slumped. Sweetie was an A-plus student, while me and Scootaloo were failing. Apple Bloom was average.
I tapped my hoof on the desk, my hoof sometimes running along it. Scootaloo looked over at me, sticking her tongue out at me. I smiled, her slowly joining me.
Me and her always messed with each other in class. Sweetie and Bloom always were and are focused. Scootaloo and I dared each other, to screwing with the teacher, and skipping class.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I started thinking about the sleepover. I don`t know why I said yes. Probably because, If I didn`t, they would pout and get sad. I can barely stand to see them sad, especially Scootaloo.
Me and Scootaloo hang out with each other more than with Sweetie and Bloom. I don`t why, we just...do. The teacher stopped talking, and Everypony started packing up. I looked up at the clock. 1:51. Yes!
I grinned. I always did at the end of the day. Scoots looked at me, smiling and walked over to me. She sat next to me, her settling on her haunches.
"Hey, you ready for the sleep over?" She asked.
"I...guess?" I really don`t know the answer to that question. And why in that seductive voice?! My pupils shrinked a bit when thinking about that...voice.
The bell rang, and she walked out, me following after. I looked around, staring at the mass size of the crowd. My blood ran cold, my pupils shrinking even more, to the size of pinpricks. I have no clue what awaits me, do I?
