I didn't expect this to happen...

She was kissing me right on the lips. And this was my very first kiss. Yet... I don't feel anything about it.

To be honest, nothing happened after that. After Sonata broke the kiss, I stood there like a statue.

"Cass? Casper, are you OK?" She asked.

"Y-yeah, j-just give me a minute." I said as I started to move my body a bit stiffly.

"Ok, let's go to bed." I said as I walked to the bedroom. I didn't even remember to set my alarm clock that night. I just fell asleep as soon as I entered the bedroom, my brain finally went overload due to that kiss. I landed on the floor with a large thud and I was out cold for the entire night.

"Ooh whoa! Ooh whoa! You didn't know that you fell~"

In the darkness, I floated effortlessly. my worry and fear grow stronger as the song grew louder. green mist once again swirled around me and thickens.

"Ooh whoa! Ooh whoa~"

I then saw a figure dancing in the shadows from the corner of my eye. Then, there was a flash of blue hair and a glimmer of raspberry. The figure looked and pointed at my direction.

"Now that you're under my spell~"

I woke up on my bed with a headache. I felt my forehead and discovered a small bump on it. I then came to notice Sonata's sleeping form as I got out of the bed. Her face was filled with worry, probably because of what happened last night. Before I could think further, I remembered what day it is.

Monday.

Oh sh*t.

I looked at the clock.

7:30 AM. We're late!

I quickly shook Sonata.

"Sonata, wake up! We're late for school!" I said. Sonata woke up.

"Huh? Whu?" She asked.

"There's no time. take a bath and get dressed." I said. She was confused, but she quickly followed. When she was in the bathroom, I quickly took off my clothes and replaced them with my usual school outfit: a simple blue and white shirt and a pair of trousers. I quickly went to the kitchen and toasted four bread and spreading them both with butter. Once Sonata was out of the bathroom, I forgot that I haven't bathe yet, much to my annoyance. I quickly took off my clothes (In the bathroom of course) and showered quickly. When I got out, I went to the kitchen and gave the toasted bread to Sonata.

"Here. Eat this while walking." I said and we both left. Sonata was trying hard to catch up to me while I brisk walked to school.

"Cass, wait up!" She said, panting a bit.

"Fine, but please hurry. I can't soil my perfect attendance record." I said. She looked at me funny and continued walking.

Thankfully, we made it just in time for the bell to ring. We made it to my first class, Mathematics.

As the teacher continued talking, I noticed Rarity was texting.

"Found her in my Math class." She typed and sent it to whoever. The phone buzzed and she read the message.

"How did she get there?" said the message.

"Casper snuck her in. He's sitting right next to her." Rarity typed back.

"Well, don't do anything but keep an eye out on them." It replied. Rarity looked at my direction and caught me looking at her phone.

"They're eyeing my phone. We'll talk later." She puts away her phone and looked forward, stiff as a board. If her skin wasn't as white as that, she'd already be as pale as a ghost. She seems to be wary of me and Sonata.

At last, the bell rung and class ended. I looked at Sonata, who was staring at the space in front of her with her eyes as small as pins. I woke her up from her math-induced coma. She shook her head.

"Ugh, what happened?" She asked as she held her head with her hands.

"You spaced out from the beginning of the lesson."

"That hurts my brain. I didn't understand a single thing." She exclaimed.

"Shh. Don't shout it out. The teachers will get angry. Besides, no one in that class, except me understands the lessons, probably because I'm the only one who pays attention in class." I said. "I think you'll like the next class."

Arts Class was next.

The teacher asked us to sketch something and present it into class. I looked at Sonata, who immediately grabbed a pencil and started sketching. Me? I took out my graphing notebook, which also serves as my drawing notebook and copied off one of my drawing. It was a drawing similar to the Assassin's Creed logo, but i made a few adjustments so no one could notice.

When we are finished, we presented our work in class. To my surprise, Sonata sketched herself and me walking in a park, with her holding my hand and her head on my shoulder. I instantly blushed at this. It looked so lifelike that I can't stop my mind from imagining the events that could happen. When Sonata was finished, almost everyone in the class looked at me, especially a girl with a wide smile that could tear her face apart, and a pink, poofy hair. I got even more red when Sonata came back to her seat, which was right next to me.

Suddenly, a paper airplane hit me in the head. It was pink covered with blue spots.

I unfold it and saw the words. "HI, CASS!" on it. I looked at who flew that paper and saw Pinkie waving her hands in my direction. After that, she made another airplane and I flew it my way. Fortunately, I caught the plane before it hit my eye. I opened it and it read "PLZ DON'T HYPNOTIZE ME" I looked at her and saw that Pinkie was rolling her eyes and making zombie impressions.

I suddenly felt a dark aura beside me. it was the teacher standing over me. Right, I forgot that she didn't like notes. I turned to look at her, but her attention wasn't at me. it was at Sonata. The teacher was praising Sonata's work and told her that she'd hang her sketch up and asked if Sonata could meet her after school. Sonata agreed and the school bell rang.

Pinkie was long gone when I looked at her seat.

Lunch Time

I sat down on my usually empty table with Sonata.

"I never knew school is so much fun, Cass." Sonata said after swallowing the contents of her mouth. "I never really attended classes here with Aria and Adagio before."

"Really? Then where were you three the entire time?" I asked.

"We were behind the bleachers at the soccer field, listening mostly to Adagio's plan."

I nodded and saw Sunset Shimmer pass behind Sonata. She was looking at me curiously. She then proceeded to sit at her usual table, along with the other girls, who were surprisingly not there.

"SUNSET SHIMMER!" Screamed Pinkie as soon as she and the girls entered the cafeteria. Pinkie then ran to her and shook her crazy.

"GUESS WHO I SAW IN ARTS TODAY?!" Sunset motioned her to be quiet' as the others sat down with their trays. They had a chat for a bit, all of them exchanging glances between each other.

"Hey, Cass." Sonata said "Is something wrong?"

"The girls are here." I looked at their direction. The girls were staring at us. I gave off my signature two-finger wave, causing them to look back at their own food. They quickly finished their food and went somewhere. Before we started following them, the school bell rung, signaling the end of lunch.

Time for history class... Joy...
