White shirt, check. Dark jacket, check. Blue jeans, check. White sneakers, check. A fingerless glove to hide my “cibernetic knuckles”, check. All check with this fresh new clothes I think to myself as I finish putting the clothes that were on the backpack Now, to Canterlot High I pick the cell phone, that also was on the backpack, and start using the GPS to find Canterlot High. With its location found, I exit the bathroom and start making my way out of the park.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬-------------------
I was walking for some time and… I feel my stomach growl Damn, I’m hungry I said with my hand on the stomach. Lucky me, I start felling a sweet smell nearby. Following the smell, I found what looked to be a café Perfect I look through the glass and I see some people inside drinking and eating some sweets… including a punk rock dude, complete with Punk Mohawk, black leather jacket, piercings and everything Eh, who am I to judge... wait, do I HAVE any cash? I think to myself and decide to check the backpack, hoping to find something.
Opening the backpack once again, I start looking for money and I then found a wallet Thank God I smile and picked it up. Opening it up, to see how much it had… I found a picture of me and my mother, before my accident Mom… Why didn’t you came along? It had enough room! I sigh and shake my head. I need to calm down and focus now. Checking how much money the wallet had, I found exactly… 500 bucks?! Wowie I smile Now, for a quick snack With this, I enter the establishment.
When I enter the place, I look around a bit. The place was very nice. Tables, with people sitting, a couch close to the counter, having a table of its own, and the attendant, a woman with pink hair was. I approach at the counter and the woman look at me with a very friendly smile “Hello there and welcome to Sugarcube Corner, mister. How can I help you?” I start looking at the cupcakes behind the glass of the counter. I point to 5 of them and she nod and pick them up “For now?” I shake my head and with another nod she starts picking them up and put them inside a paper bag “Here you go” She gives me them “8 dollars, please” I give her a 50 note and she gives me my change. With this done, I pick a cupcake from the bag and start walking...
“Oy, mate” Someone calls me and it was the punk rock dude, who putted away one of his headset to talk to me, apparently “Can you spare me one?” He pointed to my paper bag.
Well, sure, I guess I give the one I was holding to him and he takes it.
“Thanks, mate” He putted the cupcake on the table and offered me a handshake, which I accept.
WOW! Before I know it, the guy pull me to a hug.
“You are a true bro, pal” He pats me in the back “Get to Canterlot High quick. Those fuckers are coming for you”
What? He let me go from the hug and sits back on his table, taking a bite on the cupcake. Before I could question what he meant by that, he start sleeping... or passed out Ok, I think about this later. Focus in what’s important now, Henry With this in mind, I pick another cup cake and I exit the café, continuing with my way.
-----------------
As I walk, following the GPS route, I see something that may help Bus stop, perfect! I run to the bus stop, where a girl with purple hair, purple dress and glasses was also waiting for the bus. She also had a backpack with her, so big chances she was also going to that school I hope
Approaching at her, I tap her on the shoulder, getting her attention “Oh, can I help you?” I show her my phone and where I was going “Oh, you’re going to Canterlot High?” I nod and she looks at my backpack “You’re a new student?” I… nod. Technically it was true “Well, this bus pass by there. So, you can pick it up” I nod in thanks and wait for the bus with her.
After some time, the bus finally arrive and we enter it. We found two seats together free and seat together, we her sitting close to the window Now we wait I think to myself as the bus start moving.
-----------
After some time the bus stops and I look around outside My destination?... no I sigh and sit back.
“We are not far” The girl said to me “Don’t worry, we won’t arrive late” I nod at her, and I start thinking in something else.
Who’s this Jimmy person?
“Excuse me, friends!” I hear a man calling the attentions of everyone inside. I look and I see it was a hobo with big beard “Can someone spare a change? Pretty please?” He asks as the bus start moving again.
Just someone asking for change With his I return to my thoughs Maybe he can help me rescue my mom… or maybe not I sigh In a way or another, he is the only hope I have in rescuing my mother… well, without mentioning my fighting skills and cyber limbs. But, he may help me find Akan and his…
“Excuse me, miss?” A hear the hobo by my side, I and see that he was talking to the girl by my side.
“Oh, sorry, I don't have nothing, unfortunately” The purple hair girl answered with a frown “Sorry, sir”
“No worries, lady” The hobo said and then looks at me “What about you, pal. Got any change?” I could say no, but... fuck, it would be a dick move. Picking up my wallet, I pick up a 50 note and give to him “Wow! Thanks, mate!” The hobo said happy with a smile “Here’s, a little life advice as a reward” He... approach my ear
This is getting…
“Go to the classroom 301, when they arrive” He whisper to me, something that I... kind of don't understand. With this said, he go to the back of the bus.
Ok, this GOT weird! I think to myself, with much sure that this will happen again soon.
“Hey” The girl on my side call me “This stop is on the front of Canterlot High”
Thank God I nod to her, and when the bus reach the stop, we both get up from our seats and we exit the bus.
Outside, I offered her a hand shake, thanking her for the help “I’m happy for being able to help” She said with a smile and walks to the school, on the other side of the road, waving at me “Bye” I wave at her, and I look at the school.
Well, there it is I think as I walk to the school Canterlot High I pass by a horse statue and I enter the school, along with other students. Inside, students were walking left and right or talking with each other. I try to get their attention, but it was hard since they looked to be in a hurry. It was ven worse since I couldn’t speak Wait, why I didn't ask that girl where it was? I facepalm for my stupidity Goddamit, Henry!
“Excuse me, friend” Someone tap me in the shoulder. Looking at the voice’s direction, I see what looked to be a hippie couple, with the guy holding a clipboard and the girl holding a pencil and I swear both smelled like marijuana. The dude had black long hair and beard, and was using a brown jacket with blue pants, flippers. The girl had blond hair and was using a jacket, a skirt and boots “Can you sign your name and phone number here and help us save our plantation of flowers in the park?” The guy asked me “They want to destroy it to build a useless food court”
Well, since it is for good cause, I think so I pick the clipboard, that had a paper with the names of other persons, along with their phones. The girl give me the pencil and I quickly write my name on it and I check the phone I had to write the number I have a felling this is going to back fire, but screw it With everything done, I give him the clipboard and pencil back.
“Thank you, mister...” He checks my signature “Henry. You did a great thing” He give a quick kiss o the girl and pass by me, continuing his “You don't have much time”
What the fuck? I look at him as he pass by me Okay, what the fuck is going on?!? I think to myself confused, even considering interrogate him to question him… but I don’t have time. I need to find.
“Excuse me” A girl calls me. A girl with a black jacket and a hair with the colors of fire “Are you looking for something? Maybe I can help”
Lucky me I pick up my phone and I enter a app of notes, where I write what I was looking and then I show to her “Oh, you looking for Principal Celestia?” I nod “Well, she is busy in the moment, but, Vice Principal Luna is on her office”
Well, I think it will do I nod
“Well, then just follow that hallway and make a left” I nod and wave at goodbye to her.
After a walk, I made to the Vice's office. Opening the door, I enter a standard room. Bureau with papers, where a woman dark blue hair and purple shirt was writing in some papers Vice Luna, I presume A window on the left, shelf with books and etc. I approach at the Vice Principal and she notice me “Oh, hello there” She said with a smile “How can I help you?” I pick up the papers of registration from my backpack and I hand them to her “Oh, you must be... Hardcore Henry, correct?” I nod “Well, take a seat please” I seat on the chair on the right of her desk, as she read the papers “Your mother said you would be here when possible, but you sure took some time”
If you say so
“So, can you talk a little about yourself? I think is good to know the new students when possible” She said to me with a smile.
Yeah, that would be a problem I point to my throat and I shake my head.
“You can't speak?” I nod “Well, no problem. I think I have a not used notebook on the shelf” She gets up and goes to the shelf, and I look through the window, where I could see the sky, the sun, the red dot.
Wait what?
“I am a bad motherfucker! Live long and well thanks to suckers! Live long and well thanks to suckers! I am a bad motherfucker!”
What the…?! A music start playing on my pocket. Checking it I see that it's my phone. Someone was calling me.
“You can answer, I think this is going to take a while” Luna said to me “Also, that is a interesting ringtone, may I say”
Accepting the call, I wonder who it was “They are on you, mate!”
What?!
“There is a sniper aiming at you, just waiting for the right moment to shot! Think quick and get out of there!” The call ends, and now I'm confuse.
“Found it!” Luna announce, standing on the front of the window. Standing right in front of the…
Oh, fuck
