//------------------------------// // Lovely Lunch // Story: The Shimmer In Her Eyes, And The Sunset On Her Body // by MyLittleGeneration //------------------------------// Well, time passed on by after gym. Without Shimmer, it felt really bland honestly. I mean she's really there for me, man. I know it. But anyways, lunch was now. I settled in the cafeteria, suffered through the long line. and grabbed a big hot dog, and tried to find a good seat. Who to sit with? There was Arin, on a table way in the end, but space was a no-go. I couldn't sit there. So, who? A voice then called me. A sweet one. "Rayne!" Sunset called. I noticed her, and she was patting a spot next to her for me to sit in. Yet, there was one problem. The table was full of girls, not even one male sat his bottom on that table. I'm not sexist, if you remember, I was terrified of being next to girls and all. But yet, I was just standing there doing nothing, and didn't want everyone to notice a clueless, shaggy kid stand in the middle cafeteria like this. So, I sat next to Sunset, who was really happy to introduce me to an actually unique group of friends. "Hi, Rayne." she said gleefully. The friends stared at me, so I do a quick little wave at Shimmer. I even blushed. "Don't worry, man." Sunset said with her hand on my back. "Don't get so nervous. Trust me." She then stared at me with her large aqua-colored eyes, in which is the most adorable and cutest thing I ever saw. Yet, she got my trust, and so I nod. She then introduces me to her fellow friends. "Rayne, meet my friend, Rainbow Dash." I looked at her. She actually looked awesome, with her rainbow hair and tomboyish clothing. "Sup, kid?" Dash said. "Uh, good." I stumbled. Sunset actually giggled softly. "Anyways, here's Fluttershy." Sunset said, showing me a yellow-skinned girl wearing a school-girl outfit with long, pink hair hiding her face. "She's shy, just like you." Sunset pointed out. Really, she was correct, as Fluttershy waved at me silently. "Rarity." Sunset said. As I yet saw a pale-white girl wearing luxurious clothing with fancy purple hair. "How do you do, darling?" she asked me. I literally blushed more due to the way she said it, making not only Sunset giggle, but Rarity, too. "And Applejack." I stared at a cowgirl with a long ponytail wearing a cowboy hat and wearing the boots, too. "Howdy, partner." Applejack greeted, after taking a bite of her apple. "And finally..." Sunset pointed at yet nothing, but yeah, I remember who was there. Yeah, some pink chick with puffy pink hair, who makes wide smiles. "Pinkie!" said the girl who jumped behind my back. "Gah!" I screamed, very shocked and terrified. "Oops," she said. "sorry." As Sunset was holding back her laughter, she finally then said, "Pinkie Pie." We then enjoyed lunch together, and yet something bothered me. It wasn't a pesky fly, it was Bruin, who looked at me with a death stare, like, again, I was his boney prey. Again, maybe I was. I then poke Sunset's shoulder. "So, what's with Bruin?" I asked. All of a sudden, the girls gasped, and Pinkie was biting her nails like crazy. But Sunset answered, "Listen, Bruin over there, really dangerous," she said in a very strict and serious tone. "I mean, him earlier in Gym, you saw his ways of action. He's really violent, and is really the school jock. Plays football, and is really jacked to the gills." She then pointed at Bruin, who was showing his muscles to some cheerleaders on the table across. "He thinks he's not, but he's not. In fact, me and him, we have a bit of a conflict going on." I nodded. "I was actually worried back there when he pointed at you after you saved my skin." I told her. Sunset smiled, as yet she felt good about me caring for such a charm like her. "Oh yeah! You saved my skin back there, too. Oh." She then remembered I didn't catch it, it made contact with my dice. "Yeah..." she said, blushing a bit. "You alright still?" I nodded, and said, "Yeah." Which was true. My dice feel much more better, and I'm not limping and suffering anymore. "That's... good to know, I guess." Sunset noted, feeling bad for asking such a question like that, but I don't mind, honestly. Rainbow Dash then gave me a look. "You got hit in the balls by a dodgeball from Bruin, and you survived?!" she said, alarmed. "Awesome, dude. High-five!" She and I then made contact with our hands, making the high-five, I did feel accomplished for something like that, strangely. "So, yeah, sorry about that back there." Sunset said, ashamed for some reason. "No need to be sorry, Shimmer. You saved me, I saved you. Now we are equal." I said, giving her a smile. Dash then said, "Is this what I think I'm seeing? A romance story?" she then made kissing noises, and we both blushed. Me especially. The girls then laughed, and Applejack added in, "Well, they do look cute together." I blushed even worse. "Yeah, they do!" Pinkie said, very excited and happy. She then made a picture frame with her hands, and fit us in the frame, but then Dash took Pinkie's hands and made the rectangle frame into a heart frame, in which we really felt embarrassed with my blushing now. "Alright, that's enough." Rarity said, ending the conversation. Finally. But, lunch was going to end, so me and Sunset and the rest of the gang got up to throw away our garbage, and on the way back, I saw some kid with glasses talking to his friends, and point at me as I was in the middle of a group of pretty girls, mostly Sunset. Which actually yet got me. With the kid pointing his finger at me. It bothered me, a lot. So, what if this whole thing gets me into some sort of dude who hangs out with delicate girls? What will they think of me? Granted, these girls are good friends, indeed, but I feel like maybe they might make fun of me on this one. Will I? Am I thinking just too harsh on myself? The question I asked myself was stuck on me until the lunch bell rang, ending the lunch period, in which Sunset asks for me to walk with her down to Mrs. Maudriguez, the teacher for math class. Which is up next.
