Chapter 2

Authors notes:

Guys, I'm soooo sorry I haven't posted so long. I was on holiday for a while, and then I smashed my laptop when I got back! I know that only a couple of people will actually read this, but even so, as a thank you AND a sorry, here are two chapters to try and make up for my lack of posting. Thanks for your support and comments, I really appreciate them…and on with the chapter:)

Like most young fillies and colts, I go to school, and I guess its cool most of the time, I'd just rather be doing other things that's all.

I kept my head down as I walked down the stone path to Ponyville's local school. I passed a group of fillies from my class and pretended not to notice that they all stopped talking the second they saw me.

"Hey Flick!" I heard an excited voice from the sky and a grey pegasus landed just in front of me, puffing out his chest as he did.

"Rumble..." I whined, "You promised not to fly in front of me!" Rumble put his hoof over his mouth.

"I'm sorry!" He gasped, "I forgot that..."

"Hey no worries, 'kay." I smiled and put my hoof on his shoulder. "Try again." He nodded and trotted off down the path, reappearing seconds later.

"Morning Flick!" He smiled.

"Morning Rumble." I grinned back. "Perfect!" We hoof-bumped and galloped towards the school, laughing.

The bell rang and everyone streamed into the classroom, all pushing to try and get inside first. As I moved towards my desk, a pink hoof was stuck out in front of me, and I tripped, collapsing on top of an orange fillie. The whole class turned and looked at me, I felt embarrassment wash over m, and I heard Diamond Tiara, the culprit, laughing cruelly. I was jolted back to reality when I heard a quiet groan from next to me.

"Scootaloo!" I heard a shout, and two ponies, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle pushed through the crowd. Scootaloo sat up and rubbed her eyes. I felt myself go red, I had had a crush on Scootaloo ever since I first met her, but I couldn't even talk to her without blushing really hard.

"Hey Flicker, maybe you could watch where your going next time!" Apple Bloom snapped, helping Scootaloo up.

"Yeah" Sweetie Belle added, levitating a book onto my desk, that I hadn't even noticed had been on the floor.

"Lay off girls, we both know whose fault this really is." Scootaloo replied glaring at Diamond Tiara. She picked up another book and passed it to me. I went even redder.

"Thanks." I managed hoarsely. She nodded, and I slunk shamefully to my seat. At that moment, our teacher, Miss Cheerilee entered the room, beaming as usual.

"Good morning children!" She sang, setting an apple on her desk. She began writing some sums on the chalkboard, but I didn't hear anything she was saying, because I was soon lost in a daydream.

"Flicker." I was jolted out of my daydream by Cheerilee calling my name. I quickly studied the board, taking in the numbers.

"Four." I answered.

"Correct," Cheerilee replied, "but I was only asking you to open the window." I looked down at my desk as a ripple of laughter passed around the classroom.
