Pony High - Freshman Year
Chapter 3: Jake's Journal - Second Entry
Previous ChapterSo, this morning Sam and I woke up too early. We've always been a bit volatile when it comes to daily routines. After we got dressed and such, we trotted downstairs and made breakfast. We, as always, left enough in the fridge for our parents to eat. after this, we flew to the library to meet up with our friends. Sam immediately flew off with Rainbow Dash in a race to school, and I walked with my fellow party-lover, Pinkie Pie. We walked our separate ways when we got to school, so Ariana didn't get the wrong idea about me. Pinkie may be wild and crazy, but she keeps secrets. She understands the situation.
After this, I walked into first period and sat down in my seat behind Ariana. Her bright red mane was looking especially lovely that day. I leaned forward. A bit too far forward. My nose brushed her mane and she turned around. "Um - uh, - uh." I stammered. "I'm - um - I'm sorry. I - uh, gotta go." I galloped out of the room. I sat in the school library until lunch, running over and over in my mind how I could have handled it better.
I went to lunch two minutes early, so I could avoid running into Ariana in the lunch line. I waited for Sam to get there. After I explained what happened, we sat down on the opposite side of the lunchroom we normally do, because Ariana and Sara were sitting over there. Sam was unusually quiet. I wondered if the same kind of thing had happened to him. Regardless, there was a sudden scream, and everypony turned to see Rainbow Dash and some other mare wrestling near the door. One of the teachers trotted over, and was simply kicked out of the way. Then somepoy through their cupcake at the fighting mares. It hit Rainbow Dash in the face. She flew over to the colt and slammed his tray in his face. That's when the food fight began.
Within five seconds, Sam and I were covered in food. We figured it was the same everywhere else. We realized it at the same time. When I yelled "Ariana!" Sam yelled "Sara!" We both unfurled our wings, when I remembered the rule. As Sam took off, I grabbed his hoof and pulled him back down. "No flying, remember?" I said. He sighed and mumbled something under his breath. Then we galloped into the crossfire of flying food, hopped over an unconscious teacher, and eventually made it to Sara and Ariana. They'd been smart enough to flip over a table and hide behind it, so they weren't entirely doused in food.
When we got there, we stood in front of their little table fort and fended off anypony who came towards us. Then one big colt came towards Sam. He flew into the air and kicked the colt in the face. Everyone stopped fighting and looked at Sam, as the colt with a now bloody nose staggered back.Well, Jake was called to the office, and he got suspended. After that, I simply galloped off into the crowd, not wanting to have to face Ariana. I flew home. That's really all that happened that day.
