Vinyl Scratch: A history

by Novalis14

Exams

The clock ticked of the seconds left in final period as Ms.Overture continued her lecture on musical theory. A now sixteen year old Vinyl Scratch sat attentively at her desk, using her magic to take notes. Sparing a quick glance at her best friend and roommate she couldn't help but snicker at Octavia's drooling.

Tavi might be whiz when it came to the classes on how to act like a canterlot elite or when it came to actually playing an instrument, but put her in any class not involving looking classy and she completely zoned out.

The sound of the bell rang crisply through the air and Vinyl swept up her papers and shoved the sleeping earth pony, effectively waking her up.

Octavia groaned as she got to her hooves and followed the white unicorn. Both looked quite different since there first day at the school. Vinyls blue mane had changed from the ratty street look to a short yet elegant cut that made her look a lot more mature then her friend. Octavia's long black braid now was a short bob cut that was all the rage among the young mares in the upper district that the school resided in.

“My neck hurts.” Octavia grumbled yawning as the two ponies made their way down the maze like corridors of the academy.

“Maybe it wouldn't if you payed attention in class.” Vinyl chuckled “Remember were on scholarships, we need good grades or its back to the trottingham grocery for you.” Octavia's reply was an unintelligible mutter with an accent.

As they reached the courtyard she perked up. “Hey, Lyra and some of the other students are heading to one of the clubs in the entertainment district tonight, care to join us?” Vinyl thought of their mint colored classmate, she was a lot crazy and not the brightest bulb but she was a good friend and a brilliant lyrist.

“I can't tonight, exams are coming up soon and I need to study.” Vinyl choked out the words. She knew it was the right thing to do but it didn't mean she had to like it. As much as she would have loved to go goof off with her friends she was not going to waste a bit of her scholarship. She had to work hard so she could party harder. “Maybe after there over though.”

Octavia pouted, Vinyl just chuckled and the two said goodbye as Vinyl headed to their room to hit the books.

“A C! I GOT A C!” Octavia was gaping at her exam paper.

“Hey cheer up Tavi, I got a D.”

“Yeah but your parents are paying for your schooling Lyra. I'm on a scholarship!”

Vinyl couldn't help but smirk a little at her friends distress. Luckily the C was not enough to ruin Octavia, but it would mean she would have to work her rump off for a while.

Lyra tried to cheer up Octavia by coming up with some weird explanation as to why a C was a lot like an A that some how included hands and the imaginary letter Zygat. However this only ended with Tavi chasing the Mint unicorn around the hall way in a rage.

Vinyl was glad to have Octavia as a friend, even if they were opposites they worked well together. Vinyl was an ideallist, Octavia was a realist. Vinyl was mellow, Octavia was hotheaded. Vinyl wanted to be herself no matter what and Octavia wanted to be a socialite.

“ARGH! Now I'm going to have to spend all week catching up in Instrument tech to balance out my G.P.A! Vinyl this is awful.” Octavia whined.

“Yeah sucks for you Tavi, maybe you should have tried preparing.” Vinyl cracked as she stopped leaning on the wall and began to walk off. “Well have fun in the library you two, I've got a club calling my name.” Vinyl disappeared out the doors leaving her friends to gape after her.

Author's Note:

So we now know that those two know Lyra!

Also if your trying to picture Vinyl's hair style just imagine what would happen if he hair wasn't as spiky.
