Chapter 1: The New Guy In Campus
It was a nice day in Canterlot, and I just move here a few weeks ago with my mom. She has a new job here as a lawyer in Canterlot. So to support her any way I can, both of us decided to move here with a new house, a new school and, well, a new everything.
I was taking a nice long nap in my mom's car. Luckily it’s been very comfortable in some way. As I was taking a good nap, my mom was shrugging in my shoulder knowing we have arrived in our destination. How do I know it's her trying to wake me up? Cause I think I just arrive in my new high school
“Bolt…. Lightning bolt, WAKE UP!” She smacks my head to make would wake up.
As you finally get up, you see the new high school suppose to attend. Your name is Lightning Bolt. Your hobby is Singing, Play Guitar, Play Video Games, and Read a lot of books. As you got out of your mom’s car, you tap the window and pointed her to the trunk of the car so you could get your guitar and backpack. As you get your stuff, you see your mom drive off to work. You see the campus, very big and wide and also full of students. Some of them are looking at you.
As you sigh, you started walking and go inside the school and see a lot of students talking with each other. As you reach into your pocket, you pull out a piece of paper saying your locker number.
“Locker 203?” you say in your thoughts.
As you were walking all over school, you finally found your locker and notice a rainbow haired girl that just might be your locker buddy. As you walk closer and see your locker, you put in the combination. She notices you right next to her.
“Hey I didn’t notice you there, you must be new right?” she said looking at you.
As you were about to say something, the school bell rang and she quickly grabs her bag and dashes away.
“Sorry, be late for class. Smell you later,” she said while dashing off.
As you saw her rainbow hair disappear, you look back at your locker and put away your stuff, well almost all of your stuff. You knew that your guitar couldn’t fit there, so you decided to bring it along to class. As you grab your science book, you notice that someone might be spying on you. You ignore it at first and continue to class, but sees that someone was following you. When you turn around you saw a puffy pink hair girl smiling at you.
“Um, can I help you?” You said with a tone.
When she looks at your face, the only thing she did was gasp loudly and disappears in mid air. You were confuse of what just happen but ignore it and went to class. As you got close to class, you could already hear the teacher calling out the names of the students. You sigh and enter, getting everyone in the room’s attention.
The teacher looks at you and realizes that you are new in the school. You turn your head to the left and saw everybody looking at you.
“Ah yes. You must be our new student. Please let me introduce myself. I am Professor Colgate, so please if you like, introduce yourself to the students,” she said, while you look at the students.
“Um ok. My name is Lightning Bolt. It’s nice to meet you all,” you told them while you hear whispers from some of the girls.
“He kinda cute.”
“Look at that red and black hair.”
“I think I finally found someone for Valentine’s.”
“Alright settle down. Bolt, please take your seat next to Twilight Sparkle over there.” The professor pointed to an empty desk. As you did what she said and took your seat, you look at the girl next to you and smile at her. “Alright class, go to page 345 and let go over some exercises,” Colgate said while grabbing a piece of chalk.
As you settled down and grab your book, you just realize that you forgot to bring a pencil. As you struggle to find one, the girl next to you lends you one without asking. As you are about to thank her she smiled and got back to her book. You open your textbook and started reading and then realize that the same girl raised her hand to ask a question.
The teacher sees her hand raised and pointed at her. “Yes Twilight Sparkle?” Colgate asks.
“Yes. I’m wondering about something that was bugging me and wanted to see if you could answer?” Twilight questions, while you notice everybody sigh, knowing what is going happen. “How do scientists know how to make a flu vaccine if viruses can be different every year?” Twilight said, while you see Colgate smirking.
“That is a very good question Twilight. How about letting our classmates answer that.” Colgate looks at your fellow classmates, but everyone stood quiet.
“Well?” You stand up and couldn’t resist to just leaving the answer unsolved. “The flu virus changes every year. However, scientists gather information about virus mutations, or changes, before the flu-virus season begins. This lets them predict what each year’s flu virus might look like. Based on that, a vaccine is made that we hope will be accurate enough to help people fight off major cases of the flu,” you say as everyone had their jaw open.
“Well, that is fascinating. Ok, how bout this one?” Twilight smiles. You look at her waiting for the question. “What are stem cells?” she asks while you look at the students and the teacher, who looks fascinated by your answer.
“Well if I’m correct, stem cells, the basic building blocks of human development, are sometimes called “magic seeds.” That’s because they can regenerate human tissue of various kinds. The use of stem cells is controversial because the best source for the cells is human embryos. Stem cells form four to five days after an egg is fertilized. These embryos must be destroyed to harvest the cells, and those opposing the research consider this the same as taking human life. Those who support stem cell research say that an embryo that is just a few days old is simply a miniscule cluster of cells and not the same as a human life. They maintain that stem cells have the potential to save human lives. Stem cells show promise in being able to one day be able to treat and cure many illnesses and diseases, such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries and other medical conditions” you said while leaving Twilight’s jaw open.
“I couldn’t say better myself. Um, I’m Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you.” She offers a handshake and you accept the handshake.
“Lighting Bolt.” You introduce yourself again and she smiles.
“Well Bolt, I hope we can be friends.” Twilight said while she takes her seat.
“Well that was interesting, but let's get back to work shall we class,” Colgate said. She continues writing on the chalkboard and you couldn’t help that you just made a new friend who shares your knowledge of science.
As class was over you, find yourself surrounded by girls while you were putting away your textbook.
“So what is your hobby?”
“Are you single?”
“I like your hair.”
“Girls, girls, please. I would love to chat and tell you everything, but I’m going to be late for my first day in gym,” you said while trying escape the pile of girls and heading toward the gym.
As you went to the gym, you enter without thinking and saw everybody doing a pushup. You notice the rainbow haired girl from earlier and then hear the coach scream at you.
“Hey new kid. Get changed. We’re going to play dodge ball!” the coach yelled. You quickly went to the changing room.
As you were in the locker room changing, you notice every guy was whispering and looking like they're trying to make a plan. Without any concern, you ignore it and continue changing. As you got out the locker, you were standing next to your classmate. Waiting for the coach start the game of dodge ball, you realize you see everybody shaken and scared for some reason. Your thoughts were broken by the coach approaching.
“ALRIGHT LISTEN UP! FOR YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M COACH SPITFIRE AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO PLAY DODGE BALL! SOOO LET FORM THE TEAMS!” Spitfire yelled. She started forming the teams. “Rainbow Dash, Gilda and Lightning Dust, you're in the same team,” Spitfire yelled. You see Rainbow Dash fist bumping Gilda and Lightning Dust. “As the boy team, Flash, Blue Blood and the new kid. All right kid, play clean,” said Spitfire while setting the ball in the floor.
As you see the ball on the floor, you see your team is shaking in fear while you’re just calm, not knowing what's going on. As both teams settled and prepare to rush and grab the dodge ball, Spitfire grabs her whistle, looks both ways to see if the teams are ready, then in a second she blows her whistle. You and your team start running and rush to the balls, but you were too late. You see the other team with the balls. You notice your team got scared and started to run in circle.
“Alright Rainbow, leave the new kid for last. Eliminate the others,” said Gilda while Rainbow and Lightning Dust strike at Blue Blood and Flash, witnessing their elimination. You look back at the girls and see them smirking. “Alright dweeb, any last request?”
As you see Rainbow and Lighting Dust grab the dodge ball, ready to strike, you just shrug not knowing what was going to be your last words. As Gilda smiled, she signals the girls to prepare to throw the ball at you and then looks at you. When she signal the cue, they all threw the ball as hard as they can toward you, but it seems that they are going have a little surprise. As you stood still, you dodge all three balls without moving your body, leaving everyone with their mouth open.
“I'm sorry, that was too slow.” You said ticking off Gilda.
“What did I just saw?” Rainbow questioned the action that just took place.
As Spitfire places the balls back in place, she gives another whistle. Both teams rush to get the balls. Luckily your team got their first. As you grip the dodge ball tight, you see your teammate throw theirs and just got eliminated as they just grabbed it. As you were the last man on the team, you see Gilda preparing herself for your throw.
You prepare yourself and threw as hard as you can, knocking back Gilda and getting her eliminated. As she got shocked at first, you just smile and Rainbow took this opportunity to eliminate you. But you instantly grab the ball and make her get eliminated. She has her jaw open, leaving you and Lighting Dust in the game.
As she thinks of something to get you eliminated, you sigh yourself and raised your hand.
“I forfeit.” Getting everyone confuse, Spitfire didn’t mind and declare the other team winners, making you walk to the bench. You notice the other team coming toward you.
“Hey dweeb, you're not half bad,” Gilda complimented you.
“Yeah, but why you forfeit?” Lighting questions you.
“It's just that I didn’t feel like making you girls lose. Seems you girls have a winning streak and I didn’t wanted to be the new kid who broke the streak.” While you said those words, making Gilda and Lightning Bust blush, you notice the rainbow girl coming toward you.
“Hey you ain't bad, next time you can be in our team,” she said with a smile.
“I'll think about it,” you said as you get up from your bench.
“And name’s Rainbow Dash by the way. Stick with me kid and you can almost be as awesome as me.” She grins while she was too stuck up to her pride, but you just smiled.
“Well Rainbow, it's nice to meet you.” You go for a handshake, while she smile and shakes you hand. “Hope we can be friends.”
“Hah, totally!” Rainbow smiled and heard the bell ring for next class. “Well I got to go, smell you later.” In the moment Dash dashes away, leaving you with Lighting Dust and Gilda.
“Well, name’s Gilda. I’ll catch you later dweeb. We should hang out sometimes. If you need me, I’ll always be in the gym at lunch.” she said while leaving the gym.
“I guess I’ll be going to. Name’s Lighting Dust by the way. We should hang also. Well, catch you later.” Lighting jogs to catch up with Gilda.
--------------End Of Chapter 1------------------
“Humph, weird school,” you said in your thoughts while you start walking to your locker. “Maybe I’ll like it here.” With that said you left the gym, not knowing what was going happen next.
