The Nobody Next Door

Morning Mayhem

“Hey there, Twisight!”

Twilight rolled her eyes. It was Sunset Shimmer. Self-proclaimed queen of the school, Sunset had lots of spunk, a fiery temper, and intense dislike for Twilight. She was queen and the students were her subjects. If they didn’t follow her rules, they get punished. Sunset Shimmer used every possible opportunity to make fun of Twilight, and she made sure that everyone else did too. Twilight looked up from the book she had been writing in to face the girl standing before her. Long red and yellow curled hair, black boots, black leather jacket, fuchsia shirt and a confident smirk on her face.

“It’s Twilight, actually. But I think you know that already. Can I help you? I’m kind of busy right now.” Twilight said.

Sunset laughed. “Busy? Busy doing what? Trying to be an even more useless nobody than you already are? I honestly don’t think that’s possible.” By then everyone in the hall had stopped to watch the scene.

Twilight pushed her glasses up on her nose. “Nothing important.”

“Really? Then you won’t mind if I have a little peek?” Sunset Shimmer said, snatching the notebook out of Twilight's hand. Inside were a bunch of scrawled history notes, along with random drawings of stars and planets along the sides.

“Hey! Give that back, it’s mine and you have absolutely no right to take it!” Twilight yelled. It was 8:00 in the morning, and she really didn’t want her day of torment to begin so soon. She was actually hoping to hide out in the library or the back of the classroom, hoping no one would notice until maybe later on in the day when she had more energy to try and ignore people. But here was Sunset Shimmer, determined to be the first to annoy her, as usual. Something as silly and useless as Twilight’s hopes and dreams couldn’t get in the way of Sunset’s daily routine of making her life as miserable as possible.

“Give it back? Or what? You’ll bore me to death with a history lesson?” Sunset Shimmer sneered, “I think I’ll take the easier option.” She said, walking over to the nearby janitors’ garbage can and then dropping Twilight notebook in with all the smelly trash. “There you go. I put your piece of junk with all the other trash. Now, if you want it back you’ll have to get it back yourself. Oh, and take your time. After all, it’s probably the only place that you’ll ever belong to anyway,” Sunset Shimmer said before laughing and walking away.

Just then, the janitor came out of the lunch room with a smaller trash can and dumped all the food and trash into the larger can before rolling it away.

Twilight sighed as she walked through the now quiet hallways. She should be getting to class, but that was pointless. She was already late and getting scolded by the teacher would only give her peers yet another reason to laugh and make fun of her. Besides, it’s not like she would have paid attention anyway. She was a straight-A student and the teachers rarely had anything to say that she didn’t already know. So instead, Twilight headed toward the library. As she walked through the doors, Twilight breathed a sigh of relief. This was the one place where she could get some peace and quiet. She loved everything about it, the rows and rows of books, the sweet smell, and the fact that she was away from everyone else. The library of Canterlot high school was a large place. As soon as you walk through the doors, you see large tables with shining computers waiting to be used. Because class was in session, Twilight had the library all to herself. She walked up to the front desk, where the librarian, Ms. Pommelway, was sitting in her cozy swivel chair reading.

“Um, excuse me?”

The librarian looked up in surprise. When she registered that it was Twilight, she smiled.

“Yes, dear?” she asked.

“Oh, well, uh, sorry to interrupt your reading, but is the new book I ordered here yet?” Twilight asked?

“Why yes, it is. It arrived just this morning.” Ms. Pommelway replied before opening a drawer in her desk. “But shouldn’t you be in class? This is the third time this week you have been over here during class hours. Usually it’s a goal for students like you not to miss classes.”

“I don’t see any point in going. I know all the lessons and get all the answers right. Besides, if I go into class now, everyone will laugh when the teacher lectures me about how important it is not to miss a minute of his precious class. I rather just not go at all. I’ll just catch the next class.” Twilight said with certainty, taking the book the librarian was handing to her. “Thank you!” she said before walking away.

“It’s nothing, Twilight, but you really should think of attending all of your classes one of these days.” The librarian called after her. Twilight just smiled and made her way to the back of the room to a table that already had stacks of books that she looking through.
“…But, alas, its magic was never completely destroyed, as the task was to difficult for even the strongest wizards and magicians. Legend says that Starswirl the Bearded hid it deep in the Everfree forest thousands of years ago, in order to ensure that it would not fall into the wrong hands. However, there are certain documents that say that a mysterious force took control of it, waiting for someone to come and claim the magic inside. Whoever the force chooses will get unspeakable power, but only if they have the right intentions. If not, then the magic can go out of control, and—”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnng!!!!!!!

Twilight looked up with a start. Her next class was about to begin, and she was going to be late. Hurriedly, she gathered her books and shoved them into her light blue backpack and swung it over her shoulder before rushing past the librarian.
“Bye Ms. Pommelway!” Twilight said before racing out the door. Ms. Pommelway smiled at the student, watching her rush off to class.
