//------------------------------// // From Books to Rulers // Story: Those Awkward Teen Years // by Blue Breeze //------------------------------// Author's Note: Happy Friday the 13th! Grab your lucky rabbits feet and make sure to not walk under any ladders. Nah, I don't believe in any of that bad luck crap. Anyway, the Q and A is up right here. If you don't want spoilers for my other story, then I would recommend staying away from it as it does contain heavy spoilers. Now, on with the story. As Mr. Charge enters the cafeteria, everypony freezes in place and looks at him. Everypony, prepare for the pits of Taurtarus to be unleashed. Everypony has literally all gone pale. In other words, it's about to hit the fan. Okay, I'm basically just stalling here to prevent myself from dying. I DON'T WANNA DIE! Mr. Charge looks around the room, at first in confusion at all the messes and ponies throwing food, but then he gets a smirk on his face. Somewhere else in Equestria, a child weeps as their puppy has just suddenly dropped dead. "My puppy is dead! Why cruel Celestia?!" Back in the cafeteria, Charge's grin widens as he gets an idea in his head. "Well, I'm glad to see you kids are making this first day interesting." suddenly, he pulls out a bunch of textbooks. HOW?! "Mind if I join in?" Everypony ducks for cover as he starts randomly throwing books all over the place. Okay, this has gone from a fight to a motherbucking war! We flip the table over to use as a shield against the books, feeling every time they hit against it and nudging it forward, even with our combined strength up against it. "What do we do?!" Zeph shouts. "I'm gonna pray!" I shout. I put my hooves together and start doing a silent prayer. "We're doomed." "This is the most fun I've had since summer break started!" Charge shouts as he randomly throws books. Several brave and stupid souls poke their heads out in an attempt to throw things at him. They're attempt ar-WOAH! That book's gotta be at least teen feet tall! What the buck, man?! "What kind of book is that?!" Blaze shouts. "When will it end?!" I shout as I have my head down and my hooves behind it. As more books pound against the table, cracks start forming. "Captain, she canno' take much more!" Blaze shouts in a fake Scoltish accent. This is no time for jokes! Charge throws one last book, smashing the table into a million pieces. "Gotcha." he says as he looks at us. I can't die yet! I haven't had a marefriend or lost my virginity! *RIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG* Charge looks up at the bell. "Well, it seems as though lunch is over. Everypony go to theeir fifth period as scheduled." he drops the book and starts to trot out the door. Thank you, Celestia! We each stand up and look at each other. "I'll see you guys later." "You too." "Yeah, same." We go our seperate ways once more to our seperate classes. As I walk by, I notice something. Oh my Celestia! A slice that wasn't destroyed! I grab it and take a bite. Ah, so worth starting a food fight and nearly dying by book... kinda. I quickly finish the slice and continue walking. Yeah, totally worth it. Now, time for my Equestrian class. I really hope that Blaze was just overreacting to Ms. Orderly. Over at the "doctor's" office Red Cross sits quietly at is his desk, filing paperwork. "*sigh* Always so much paperwork at the beginning of the year." he says to himself. His ears perk up as he hears a knock at his office. "Wonder what that could be." He opens the door and looks out to see a line of about two dozen injured students. "What in Equestria happened?" "Mr. Charge... books." the student at the front says weakly. Cross facehoofs. "I knew it was going to be a crazy year, but I wasn't ready for it to happen this soon." he sighs. "Alright, come on in." Poor guy. I pass by the office and look at the huge line. "Sheesh, they've got their work cut out for them. At least I didn't get hurt too." Yeah, imagine me actually getting lucky for once. I shrug it off and continue walking. I reach the class and do the same old same old by taking a seat. Wait... "Where's the teacher?" I ask outloud Suddenly, a pinkish pegasus mare with a grey mane and tail and a cutie mark of a ruler walks in. She has a very bored look on her face. Well, she doesnt seem so bad. But as everypony in the room talks, she smacks her ruler down on her desk, scaring everypony to attention. "Now that I have your attention, I am Ms. Orderly. I'm not issuing you a welome because, quite frankly, you're not. Listen to me very carefully when I say that you pay attention and don't disrupt me whatsoever. Is that clear?" everypony sits in silence. "I SAID IS THAT CLEAR?!" Everypony furiously nods. "Very good." Okay, now I'm a bit scared. She's not Charge scary, but still pretty scary. Anyone think they'd make a cute couple? ...BWAHAHAHA! YEAH RIGHT! "Now, everypony take out a sheet of paper and a writing utensil. We shall be going over our lesson plan for the year and I expect everypony to have notes on this." Everypony does so, and she starts writing on the board. As this is going on, I can't help but turn my head towards the window and start day dreaming. 'I wonder how Haily is holding up without me. I wonder how the guys are doing. I wonder-' *WHACK* "OW!" I scream as I rub the top of my head. "I thought I said to pay attention." Ms. Orderly says, holding a ruler in her hoof. "What the buck?!" *WHACK* "Watch your language." "But I *WHACK* OW! *WHACK* MOTHER- *WHACK* I'll be quiet now. *WHACK* Celestia dang it!" "Hmm, maybe I'm being too soft on you." "You call this soft?!" "Yep, definitely too soft. Come with me." I nervously get up and follow her to the front of the room. She reaches under her desk and pulls out two buckets filled with rocks. I don't like where this is going. "Extend your wings." "I'd really rather not." "Do it. Or do I have to make you do it?" "I'll do it!" I quickly say. I spread my wings out. She places a bucket handle on each wing. "There, stand like that and hold those for the rest of the period." Everypony looks at me in fear as I continue to hold up the buckets. She walks back to the board and continues wwriting. "Let's carry on." Celestia, this is tiring my wings out fast. I'd take any of my other psycho teachers over this any day. But somehow I have a feeling P.E. is going to be even worse. Author's Note: Ms. Orderly is another OC from Zoom. You can expect many more OC's from him to come.
