Newtown Ponies
How? What? This cannot be happening! I thought to myself. “But, I thought that Starr...” I said nervously. But I saw Starr sitting near the front, and Crystal was where I sat. “Oh brother!” I said.
Crystal just looked at me, oddly, like she was acting like she wasn’t going to hurt me. “Glitter... I know that you burnt my paper, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t destroy Ponyton.” Crystal said.
Not only did Crystal want to torture me, but when this colt got on the bus, he wasn’t a blank flank, but he was really cute! “I’ve been waiting for this, torture and love at the same time...” I said to myself. “The colt had a red mane and black streaks. He was a white pony, with red eyes and a wing with a black bolt on it for his cutie mark. He was a pegasus,” and I realized I was talking out loud, and Crystal heard every word! “Oh no...” I said, worried.
“Now I know, you like Speed Fly!” Crystal said to me. I just nodded no, and she just grunted. He looked at me and I couldn’t stand to look at him in the eye, due to Crystal’s mega embarrassment. I just waited for Wild to get on the bus.
. . .
Wild got on the bus, and I wanted to tell her about Speed, but I couldn’t on the bus. “Ugh, dumb fate...” I said. At 7:05, we arrived at school. “Wild! You won’t believe who I saw!” I said. She looked at me. “Don’t tell anypony!”
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” She promised. I told her about Speed. “Shut the front door! I know him!” She said. I couldn’t believe it! “He is a nice colt! Maybe your friend Cross knows him.”. I forgot, Cross mentioned Speed so many times I can’t remember!
I’ve known Cross since we were in Pre-K. He was reliable! So I caught up with him. “Yeah, do you know how many times I’ve mentioned Speed?” He asked. I nodded and he said he wouldn’t tell.
At about 7:15, Cross introduced me to Speed. “Hi, I’m Glitter,”. Embarrassment much? I thought to myself. “Uh, I’m Cross’ long time friend!” I said. Speed just winked and trotted away. “Uh... does he... like me?” I asked. Cross just shrugged and walked away.
This other filly approached and she was a pegasus, she was Cross’ twin. Curve was her name. “Hi! Glitter right?” She asked. I nodded and she introduced herself. “I’m Curve!” She said. “Were you just talking to Speed?!” She asked excitedly. I nodded and she just smiled. “Do you like him?” She asked again.
“Yeah,” I answered. She just couldn’t believe what she was hearing. I just couldn’t believe I was falling in love. “Do you know him?” I asked.
“Yeah, and he winked at you!” She added. I was just wondering if she saw everything. Well duh! She sits next to Cross who sits behind Speed on the bus! I thought.
It was 7:25, 10 minutes until the tardy bell rings. I was talking with Starr. “I have no clue why I was in front! I swear! All I remember is falling asleep on the bus in seat 13, where we usually sit, and then when I woke up, I was in seat 5!” She said. “I’m not lying!” She swore. Crystal is a real trickster at work! I thought once more.
“Mother of Celestia…” I cursed. “I swear Crystal is one pain in the-” I was cut off when Crystal stepped right in front of me. Starr’s and my eyes widened.
“Were you just talking about me?” She asked me. I gulped.
“M-Maybe…” I stuttered. Crystal then pushed me up against the wall.
“Maybe you shouldn’t be a wise-pony and go around talking about other ponies that you know can seriously hurt you!” She growled.
“Hey!” Starr yelled. “Stop hurting Glitter! She was speaking her mind!”
“Maybe her mind should take a rest…” Crystal laughed, and her hoof was literally three feet away from my face, when it was stopped by Speed’s. He held her elbow back.
Crystal growled and turned around to face him. “Just what do you think you’re doing?” She asked, poking Speed’s chest.
Speed scowled at her, and pushed her hoof away. “Lay off Glits, okay?” He growled. Crystal looked at me, then back at Speed. She growled, stomped her hoof, and walked away.
“T-Thanks, Speed,” I thanked him. He smirked, and walked away too.
Starr watched him walk away. When he was out of sight, she grabbed my shoulders.
