	The first period of class had finished. I gave myself a small break for lunch. Having nothing else better to do while eating, my thoughts began to wander. Now that I think of it I had yet to make any friends. Which is alright. You don't always need friends.... I'm so lonely. I gave out a sigh, and looked down to my half eaten pansy sandwich. I remember when I was in high school, I hanged around Lilly Valley, and Note Worthy. But neither of them had come to this university. They went to Manehatten Arts Academey.
Oh well... No point in getting all depressed about it, I thought. I finished my pansy sandwich and headed towards my next class. Professional music writing. 
Along the way I noticed that Vinyl was coming along too. When I entered the classroom I noticed that this classroom had the long tables set along the stairs. I sat in one of the long tables that was located on the right side of the stairs, and was basically in the middle. Across from me Vinyl had sat down, and was playing her music at full volume in her black XX headphones. (Or whatever brand they are) The teacher then walked in, and called names for attendance. Once again echo's of 'here' and 'present were heard. Even Vinyl joined in. She didn't even bother in making an announcement, or creating a scene. I was surprised by her actions.
"Okay, students, I shall introduce myself as Mrs. Octenlead," the teacher began to say. She was a mare that looked a little bit older than the previous professor. Her coat was burgundy, and she had a purple mane. She also wore glasses, and had a eighth note being written by a pencil as a cutie mark. I had also noticed that she was a Pegasus. 
Mrs. Octenlead, looked around the classroom, studying our faces.
"Alright everypony. Class shall begin," she said. Mrs. Octenlead then began to give her lesson. It was mostly what Professional music writing was, just on a higher level. It was insanely boring. I could hear Vinyl's snores from here.
How rude, I thought. Though I was feeling rather drowsy myself... Several ponies in the room were giving out big yawns. Some things that Mrs. Octenlead said was actually rather interesting, and the class would soon wake up again. But she dragged the explanation out far to long.
"Ms. Scratch! Please do not fall asleep in my class room," Mrs. Octenlead cut herself off and scolded Vinyl.
"Huh? What? Is Skrillex here? Huh?" Vinyl responded with a snort. She then looked around the room, and noticed that everyone was looking at her. Several ponies gave out some giggles.
"Oh... Hehe... Sorry, please continue Mrs. Oftenlead," she responded blushing in embarrassment. 
"It's Octenlead, Ms. Scratch," Mrs. Octenlead responded, not amused. Class was soon over and I headed home. My first day at Canterlot University was over. It was pretty fun I think, well excluding the annoying white mare.
The next day I noticed that Vinyl Scratch was wearing different headphones. But of course, she was always blasting out her noisome music. As the week went by I noticed that every day she would wear different headphones of different brands.
Just how many of those things does she have?! I though surprised that a pony like her had so many expensive headphones. 
She must be totally broke now, I thought with a giggle. I had also noticed that for whatever reason her schedule was exactly like mine. Every class I had, she was there, no matter what day, she was there.
An entire month had already passed. I had finally gotten adjusted to see Vinyl in every single class I had. For pete's sake, I already knew what headphones she was gonna wear. Tuesdays was Beats. Fridays Sony, Wednesdays Shure. Today was Thursday, she was wearing purple and gray Skullcandy headphones. I rather liked those headphones to say the truth... My first class today was with Mr. Stringsberth, a music class where you put everything that you've learned so far in the other classes to use. I gave out a sigh. In every class, Vinyl either sat behind me or across/beside me. In this class, she was behind me. I turned around.
"Vinyl, why do you wear different headphone everyday? Is it to attract people who like your music?" I asked in curiosity. Vinyl looked up and looked at me straight in the eye. Her eyes wear a gorgeous scarlet colour. I had never noticed them, since I never really looked at her...
"How did you know?!" She responded in surprise. That's when I realized my mistake. I had promised myself that I would never get involved with Vinyl yet here I was. Talking to her. What have I done?
