//------------------------------// // New kid // Story: New friends // by SuicidalAngel //------------------------------// Scoots walked to her class after her friends had agreed on what they were going to do. Even though Sweetie hesitated, she finally agreed to go mountain climbing. Scootaloo walked in and went to her desk, taking out a book to read for the first 15 minutes of her language arts class. "Alright everyone", Cheerilee said once the 15 minutes were up,"I trust you all had a great weekend, and I really hope you all handed in your essays from 'The midsummer night's dream' that you were assigned on friday", Scootaloo stopped and looked up, eyes wide. She didn't do it. Great, now she was gonna have a fail for a major grade. "Um..", Scoots said as she waved her hand in the air waiting to be acknowledged. Cheerilee eyed her and sighed. "Let me guess, you didn't do it, did you Scootaloo?", she asked with a flat tone. Scootaloo gulped,"What if I said no.....?" "Listen Scootaloo, you can't just-", she was interrupted by a knock at the door. A student went over to open it. "Yes?" Cheerilee said, acting as if she wasn't about yell. She then stepped out into the hallway and slightly closed the door. 'Phew, saved by the door' Scootaloo though. Moments later, Cheerilee came back inside with a smile. "Class I'd like to introduce a new fellow class mate! Everyone give a proud welcome tooooo, Rumble!", she shouted as if she were some kind of announcer. Rumble looked around to see some kids smiling and waving, others rolling their eyes, and others just doodling in their notebooks. Rumble went and sat down in the only open seat, in between Scootaloo and Silver Spoon. "So sorry you have to sit next to her", Silver Spoon said. She eyed Scootaloo as she started to get angry, Rumble confused as ever. "Me?! Sorry you have to sit next to a brat like her, who can barely tell the difference between a whale and an ant!", Scoots replied. They both growled at each other and eyed one another angrily. "Listen, can't we just start of with a simple 'Hi'?", he asked innocently, trying his best not get involved in any girl drama and blow his chance of being named cool by his fellow classmates. They looked at him and slowly calmed back down. "Hi, I'm Silver Spoon", Silver said flatly. "Scootaloo, nice to meet ya", Scoots said after a while. They all shook it off and paid attention in class. Rumble looked back at Scootaloo every once in a while , she just seemed distant for some reason. After class, everyone went their separate ways and about their day. Since Rumble didn't exactly know where his locker was, he asked one of the only people he knew. Scootaloo. "Hey Scoots, umm can I call you that? Anyway um do you know where locker, 369 is?", he asked nervously. Scootaloo rolled her eyes as she turned around and pointed to a locker across from her. "You mean that one?", she asked. Rumble stared blankly. It read #369 right on the top in silver coated letters. "Y-yeah...", he scrached the back of his head embarrassed. He ran towards it. Scoots laughed a little and turned back to getting her stuff. 'That was adorable' she thought as she smiled. She stopped. 'Wait ..What!' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoots sat in her desk during science class thinking about what had just happened. Did she really just call a guy adorable? More specifically, a guy she just met and barely considered a friend. That was crazy, she was crazy, what was going on?! She started thinking with a concerned look on her face. Luckily Applebloom had this class with her. "Um, Scoots are you ok, you look constipated", Applebloom said.
