Shut up You moan as you put your head down on your desk. You were forced to sit in a group with Rarity and Applejack, and the whole time they were finding small things to argue about, the most latest being who should be the writer for the group.

I obviously have a more clear and refined handwriting than you Applejack.

We dont need clear and refined if it takes ya five minutes to write your name Rarity.

Is there a problem girls?

No Mrs. Hilligoss Bull.

How about I will be the writer and you both shut up? You say as you readjust yourself, making it so your head was tilted on your arm so you could face both of them and write at the same time.

They both look at you and smile.

Why thank you.

Much obliged.

You smile thinking that the arguing was finally over.

Alright, now since Applejack probably doesnt know how to do math, it will probably be just you and me-

Now hold on right there Casper the friendly-" OH MY FUCKING-

What is with you two? Why cant you get along for one SHORTENED class period so you can pass? Honestly, do you two have a crush on each other or something?

That is ridiculous-

Boy I will kick youre a- You cut them both off.

Fine, lets get through this without another argument and I will believe you two dont have one of those elementary school crushes on each other. Fair enough? They both scowl at you before finally agreeing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, so you two are both decent enough to not argue for the sake of my grades. So honestly, what is it with you two?

They both scrunch their faces in unison and you cant help but smile at how cute their expressions are. About two minutes pass and you get bored, so you break the silence.

So are you two going to attempt to stop being jerks to each other?

They look at you and frown, then look at each other.

Only if Applejack is willing to stop.

Only if da- Ah mean only if Rarity is willing to stop.

Alright, its settled then! So you two can sleep together now right? You stand up and put on one strap to your bag, letting it hang off to the side, and grin at them.

Rarity blushes and Applejack says;

No we will not be sharing the same bed. Rarity did ya get some new sheets?

No

Then ahm staying with you then lover boy.

But I kind of want to sleep in my own bed

You two looked pretty comfortable earlier. She winks at you and Rarity suddenly gets a really serious expression.

Applejack, what do you mean?

Rainbow and he were-

Nothing You see Rarity, I was sleeping on the floor so Applejack and Rainbow each had their own bed to sleep in, and Ceviche was keeping me company on the floor. You say turning around, knowing your face was a dead giveaway whenever you lied.

You hear Rarity sigh and the bell rings. Everyone starts to leave, except Rarity and Applejack. You turn to Rarity and say;

Thanks for picking up my uniform Rarity, but how did you know my size?

Same size as my ex Oh shit I completely forgot.

Well Im going to repay you somehow. How about... I dont know, what do you want?

Dinner! What? She covers her mouth realizing how loud she was, and then she takes a few moments to recollect herself.

I would like it if you took me to dinner sometime.

So I assume thats a yes?

What do you mean?

I asked you on a date after you gave me the suit and you never gave me an answer. You wink and smile at her which makes her blush and turn around.

You were obviously joking, so I simply did not respond.

Are you completely sure about that? You put on your best poker face and look her right in the eye. Her mouth opens but no words come out, and she blushes even more through her makeup.

Alright Ill take you out to dinner sometime Miss Rarity. You wave goodbye as Rarity picks up her bag and leaves, and then you turn to Applejack who looked like she was about to tear your head of your shoulders.

Woa, you alright Applejack? She shakes her head and puts on a fake smile.

Everything is just dandy. So Its our free period now right?

Correct.

Ill meet you at the main entrance when we have to go to period four then. She then storms out of the door leaving you hopelessly confused.

Maybe she does have a thing for Rarity after all

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You step out of the front entrance and at the same time you get a text from Rainbow.

I just took out Ceviche, you dont have to come. Daaaw so thoughtful Dashie.

You slide your phone back into your pocket and look around. Applejack had gone off somewhere, clearly mad with you, Rainbow had already gotten back to your room so there was no reason to go there, and Rarity and Pinkie probably had class.

Time to walk around like I know where Im going! You think to yourself as you head back inside and walk into the courtyard.

The courtyard was open today, meaning the sky wasnt artificial, and neither was the temperature. It was a little cold, not cold enough to be uncomfortable, just the kind of cold thats bearable besides the occasional cold breeze, and the sky was a pleasant blue that reminded you of Rainbows favorite hoodie. You took out your phone and plugged in your earphones, taking the two ear pieces and sliding them underneath your shirt so you could let them dangle between your collar if you had to take them out. You walked around and all of the bright colors of the courtyard lighten your mood, the slightly bright spring green grass, the multicolored flower patches accompanying the brick pathways, the giant trees hulking around everywhere, the whole place seemed to be just so serene. You stop and decide to smell the flowers, literally. I could get used to coming here a lot you think as you bend over to smell a peculiar looking cyan flower.

*Thud*

You sit up and shake your head. You had just been knocked over, just like when you met Rainbow, except this time you didnt go unconscious.

Im so sorry! At least its a girl

Its fine You shake your head once more for good measure, and you open your eyes.

Wow. The girl standing in front of you frowning was probably the most adorable girl you have ever seen. She was wearing the standard uniform with a pale golden trim that was almost blonde, except she wasnt wearing the overcoat, and she had her white button up shirt rolled up to her elbows. She had her hands on the front of her thighs and she was leaning over you frowning, with her head tilted slightly to the side, just like what Ceviche did whenever he didnt understand something. The girl had straight blonde hair that had gentle waves in it, barely touching the spot on her chest where her heart would be.

But what really set her apart was her eyes, they slowly drifted apart, one going up and one going down, and you could see she was trying her hardest to keep them both looking at you. They were a mesmerizing shade of yellow, and you couldnt help but stare into them. It was so adorable you couldnt help but smile at her.

Whats wrong with you? You take out your earphones and blurt out;

Youre really pretty! Oh fuck I didnt mean to

She blushes and her frown gets bigger as she stands up straight.

Im sorry for running into you

Think nothing of it. I mean, I bet its really hard with your eyes like that. KFJBUIOTASDJKLGN FUCK WHAT DID I JUST DO!

She raises an eyebrow and puts on a scowl while crossing her arms.

Are you making fun of me?

No I just-

You know theres an extremely strict no bullying rule here

I wasnt But she turns around and starts walking, a small messenger bag slung around her arm.

Can you tell me your name at least? You dash over to her, she was walking pretty fast.

Im Ditzy, Ditzy Doo. She says sounding slightly annoyed. You walk in front of her and stop, which forces her to stop and listen to you.

You really think I was trying to hurt you by saying that? Alright I know what I said back there was completely uncalled for and Im really sorry, but your eyes intrigued me and I just sort of blurted it out without thinking. If you want me to be completely honest I think your eyes are really beautiful It was true, her eyes were unique, and they put you into a trance when you stared into them.

Stop trying to apologize, its fine no harm no foul, now leave me alone. She walks around you and walks faster than before.

Man I must have seemed like a jerk

You brush yourself off, slow your pace, and put your earphones back in. You try and shrug off what you said to Ditzy, but it was eating away at the back of your head. You end up quickening your pace looking for the girl, but you cant find her and the bell rings. Fuck

You turn to the nearest exit and push through the door into a busy hallway and start heading towards the main entrance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Applejack. You poke her side which causes her to jump and then she punches you in the arm.

Dont scare me like that.

Sorry. What was with you earlier, you seemed kind of mad? She chuckles and says;

Not every girl wants to be around you all the time lover boy.

When are you going to stop calling me lover boy?

When ya shut up and make me dinner when we are in Home Ec. Daaaaamnnnnn.

Well played Applejack

You throw an arm around Applejacks neck and start pulling her in the direction of Home Ec. through the horde of students. Once you get out of the extremely loud crowd and it was just you, Applejack, and a few other students heading down the same quiet hall, you decide to try and strike up a conversation.

So whats the real reason you were mad at me earlier?

I already told ya.

Applejack has anyone ever told you that you are a terrible liar? You look down and you bite your bottom lip. That has got to be the most obvious thing ever You pull her head down and take her hat from her; you had barely seen her without it since you gave it to her.

Alright, so why did you lie to me? You ask putting the hat on and walking backwards in front of her.

Gimme mah hat back! She lunges forward but you just hold out a hand against her shoulder, like the classic bully holding the little boys face while he puts the boys ball in the air.

Not until you tell me."

You are ah jerk ya know that?

Hey, Im an open book, and you are a terrible liar, were the perfect match! You take off the hat and hold it out in front of you, and snatch it back and place it on your head when she attempts to take it.

Is it because Rarity wants me to take her out to dinner? This makes her blush, and it earns you a punch in the chest. OW fuck shes stronger than she looks!

No need to get violent Apple Jacks A fist connects with your stomach, not as hard this time, more of a love tap if anything.

Stop it already, jeez Apple Jacks...

So if you dont like Rarity, do you like me? That would explain why you and her argue a lot, Im pretty sure Rarity has developed a small crush on me. You grin at her and she blushes harder as she reaches up and tries to take her hat back.

Or maybe you like both of us.

Ya better hold your tongue lover boy

Ill find out eventually Apple Jacks. You open the door for her and motion for her to go in, After you Miss Apple Jacks.

I hate you She says as she walks in.

Dont say it unless you mean it! You say as you hug her from behind and place the hat on her head, completely forgetting you had just walked into the classroom.

Im going to end up murdering ya, ya know that?

I cant wait!

Are you two perhaps my new students? You both turn to the gentle female voice to see a smiling woman in about her late forties. She has squiggly pink hair that stood up straight, most likely due to hair spray, and she was wearing pink pearl earrings.

They sure are Mrs. Cake! You flinch slightly; you feel someone latch onto your unoccupied arm you had used to put AJs hat back on.

Hi Pinkie.

Howdy Pinkie.

You hear some murmurs from the seats that are to your back, and you do a mental facepalm. This must look strange Im hugging one girl from behind, and now Pinkie is latched onto my arm

Uh yes we are, this is Applejack and Im-

A playa! A girls voice from behind you shouts. ALWAYS WITH THE INTERRUPTIONS WITH MY NAME!!!!!!

Spitfire! The teacher throws a glare to someone behind you and then smiles at you and Applejack;

Everyone already knows your names, and I have the groups you two will be working in. Feel free to give the people at your groups an introduction She turns to her metal desk that is in front of a whiteboard and looks at a clipboard.

Alright young lady, you will be working in a group with

Are ya going to let go of me? You immediately let go of Applejack and then you try and get Pinkie off of your arm.

Pinkie could you please let go?

Nope, I have to introduce everyone to you! Pinkie turns slightly so she was somewhat facing the class and she starts going through everyone.

Thats Spitfire, that boy next to her is Rico, the girl sitting across from him is Lefawnda-" you shake your head and refocus on Mrs. Cake. Applejack had just left your peripheral vision and you heard a chair screech implying Applejack had sat down.

Sorry Mrs. Cake, I didnt realize Pinkie would act like this

Well then you dont know Pinkie Pie, she chuckles before continuing, Anyways, youre in a group with... Pinkie, Ditzy, and Phillip. Phillip I got you Rainbow! Wait more importantly, did she just say Ditzy?

They are all in the back right corner. Two out of three classes I sit in the corner No one likes me

Thanks Mrs. Cake. You turn around and start working your way through the sitting students and sit down at a table with two people you already knew, and Pinkie followed suit, still hugging your arm like her life depended on it. Ditzy was sitting across from you, Phillip sitting to the left of her, and Pinkie is sitting to the left of you.

Hey Phillip, fancy meeting you here.

Hey new kid, what are the odds we would have the same Home Ec. class, and sit at the same table? He holds out his fist and you bump it with your own. God fist bumps are stupid

Hey I know someone who has a crush on you. He raises an eyebrow and smiles at you;

Who?

Ill meet you by that minibar later and Ill introduce you two if you dont already know each other.

Alright man, thanks for looking out. You turn to face Ditzy.

Hi Ditzy. You smile warmly at the pretty blonde girl sitting across from you and she just scowls at you. Her eyes start to drift further and further apart and the only thought going on in your brain was DAAAAAAAAAWWWW.

Hey, snap out of it. Pinkie was poking your side pretty hard, Mrs. Cake is calling you. Oh shit.

You stand up, walk to the front of the room, and slowly make your way towards Mrs. Cake.

Sorry Mrs. Cake I was introducing myself Can I help you?

Actually I think I have it sorted out, your god parents didnt sign your safety contract, but Mr. Jefferson signed it for them since he is your guardian while you are out here.

Safety contract?

Basically a contract that says you wont do anything dangerous in your groups assigned kitchen, you wont horseplay in your assigned kitchen, you wont harass others, you know all of the basic simple rules.

Alright I understand. So I can go back now?

Sure go ahead.

You turn and start heading towards your table as Mrs. Cake starts talking;

Alright class, next period will be our first lab. We are going to be baking something simple but delicious, cookies! You hear a couple of Yays, and even a small Uraah from someone.

As you sit down Pinkie scoots a little away from you, still smiling brightly at you, just less in your personal bubble.

Pinkie, stop by my dorm about an hour after school, okay? She nods and looks past you at Mrs. Cake.

Hey I really am sorry about earlier- You say turning to Ditzy.

I told you nothing is wrong.

Then why are you acting like something is wrong?

Nothing is wrong new kid.

My name isnt new kid its-

Sugar cookies or Chocolate Chip? Every time Every fucking time

Huh? Ditzy says as she turns to her right, looking quizzically at Phillip.

Phillip was holding two sheet protectors, one holding blue sheets of paper, the other holding orange sheets of paper.

Ditzy, Sugar Cookies or Chocolate Chip?

Sugar cookies.

Pinkie?

Chocolate chip!

And I want Chocolate Chip. What do you want new kid? New Kid forever alone...

Uh you look at Ditzy who was still looking at you like you were the devil, Sugar cookies.

Well then its a tie- but Ditzy interrupts him.

Never mind, I want to make Chocolate Chip cookies.

Ditzy, you really dont like me do you? You laugh at how obvious she is making it.

I still like you! Pinkie hugs your arm again and you mentally face palm, I should just ask her out now, forget Rainbow, she didnt even give me a reason why not to ask Pinkie out.

Alright to be completely honest with you, I do not like you. You lied to my face. Ditzy says as Phillip passes out the orange papers.

When did I do that?

You said I was pretty.

But you ar-"

New kid, Ive known Ditzy for about a year now, and I have never seen her mad, you should just give up. Fine Phillip

You sigh in defeat and look over the recipe. You had made Chocolate Chip Cookies probably about a million times before, and the basic recipe was pretty much drilled into your head by now. You went through the recipe once and then you found yourself staring at the clock tapping your pencil.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is fucking disgusting You moan as you look at the food on your tray. A tofu dog and small carton of apple juice

Tell me about it Applejack throws her tofu dog at you and you throw yours at her.

The two of you were the last people in line, so you had little to no choice on what you could get, and this was surprisingly the best choice. When you first got out of line the two of you tried to find somewhere to sit, but all of your friends sat in their own little groups; Rainbow sat with what looked like your stereotypical jocks except they looked like they treated her as an equal, Rarity sat with what appeared to be the popular kids, and Pinkie was sitting at a table that had students who looked like they were about to cry, and she was trying her best to make them smile or laugh, but from what you could tell it wasnt working. You didnt see Fluttershy anywhere, and you and Applejack had ended up eating in the theatre.

The theatre was pretty dark, and the only lights that were on were pointed at the stage. You and Applejack were the only two in there and you were both getting really bored, real fast.

Dont throw your wiener at me! Oh Applejack

AJ, stop while youre ahead of yourself She sighs and says;

Sorry, ahm just so bored

Well why dont you tell your best friend why you lied earlier? You put her in a headlock and take her hat again, and she punches you in the gut.

Why are you and Rainbow so violent? You rub your stomach and pout for extra effect.

Will you give me mah hat back? PLEASE?

Well since you asked so nicely you put the hat on and jump over a seat and start running, NO!

Git back here! You here her tray hit the floor, and you speed up as you make your way to the exit.

I swear if you dont get back here- You think you hear her say your name, but the door had already closed behind you. Alright, think fast Where can I go? The courtyard! You throw open the doors to the courtyard and make a run for it.
You stop to catch your breath and you listen for Applejack. Alright, all I can hear are birds, good sign.

You slow down to a walking pace and readjust the hat on your head. You take out your phone and unlock the screen. Two new messages from Rainbow One new message AND phone call from Applejack

You decide to look at the messages from Rainbow first.

Im boooorreeeed Why am I not surprised? Wheres the next message

Heyo Two minutes ago Might as well respond.

*Hi*

*Im not gonna lie, I didnt think I had the right number* Hmm

*Whos this again?*

*Rainbow Dash?*

*Never heard of him* HAHAHA

*Her. I am a girl.*

*Alright, Ive never heard of her.*

*Oh sorry, I must have the wrong number then.*

*She sounds like someone I should get to know though She sounds pretty cute too.* Stroke her ego

*Go on*

*Bye.*

*No not bye!*

You check the time on your phone and decide its about time you go find Applejack. You do a one hundred and eighty degree turn and you come face to face with AJ.

Howdy. OH FUCK.

Hi AJ You start backing up, and she follows you step for step.

Where do ya think youre going with mah hat? Fuck

Actually I was going to find you. You take off the hat, and place it on her head, adjusting it slightly and pushing it down so its on her perfectly.

Ill be honest; I didnt think ya would give up so easily.

I didnt either, but I thought it through and since were best friends now, you make your way to her side and throw an arm around her waist as you start to walk, What kind of best friend would take their friends hat?

Ahm still mad at ya.

I gave you your hat back, why are you still mad at me? You nudge her head with yours and she looks the other way.

Why do you flirt with every girl?

I do not

Yes ya do, no wonder poor Rainbow is frustrated with you

Well if Im flirting with you right now you dont seem to mind it that much. I am doing this on purpose because I dont want you to punch me or something. You take your unoccupied arm and take her hat again.

So whats your answer miss Apple Jacks? You say as you put on the cowboy hat.

What do ya mean? She says as she swipes up at the hat.

Relax, just let me wear it for a while Applejack, you look her dead in the eye, besides, I think you look really cute when you dont have it on. She blushes and you get another love tap to the stomach.

Ow Applejack, do it a little harder and I might actually think youre trying to hurt me You chuckle as the sudden pain goes away as fast as it came.

Are you trying to avoid my question Applejack?

Whats the question?

Do you want to get to know me better? You give her a sly grin and wiggle your eyebrows, and she laughs and takes the hat away from you.

Sorry partner, we are just friends. She says as she walks backwards in front of you, smiling the widest you had ever seen her smile. You grin back at her and say;

You know what Applejack, Im okay with that.

The bell rings and you get an idea. You run at Applejack, grab her hand, and start running towards the exit with her laughing behind you.

Friends

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You two must be the new students, Im Mr. Connors. Finally the last class of the day

There is no need for introductions really, I know both of your names from my updated roster, and I just told you mine. You two will have to get some gym clothes, they are mandatory to participate in Gym. Fucking great

You look to Applejack, who was on your left, and try and read her thoughts. You imagined her having a crush on the Gym teacher, saying stuff like Oh shucks Mr. Connors

I expect you both to have a pair of gym clothes by next class. For now you both will sit out since we are just doing some fitness testing, we do it every strip day. Got it? you both nod and he walks away to a black cart to do attendance on his laptop.

The Gym is pretty large, about the height of what you would expect the average High Schools gym to look like, but length wise it was huge, you guestimate that its about 200 yards long, and part of it attached to a small part of the courtyard. The locker rooms werent co-ed, which surprised you seeing how the showers were co-ed. The girls locker room was to the right of you, and the boys to the left, and people were filing into the Gym sitting down on the floor.

Well AJ, guess we get off easy on our first Gym period huh? You nudge her with your shoulder and she frowns.

Ah was kind of hoping ah could do something I work every day during the summers back at our farm, and I already feel myself slipping She sighs at the end and you feel some sympathy for her, she really was your stereotypical cowgirl.

You pat her on the back and look out over the students sitting on the floor. Everyone had sat down, and the class looked to be an even half girls, half boys. You dont see anyone you recognize except one girl, Ditzy. She was sitting near the middle of the giant gym with her arms wrapped around her legs, head resting on her knees just looking over at you. Once she sees you see her, she turns the other way in a hurry. Surprise surprise Maybe I can No, I need to let it drop.

Alright class, today we are going to be doing the mile run. Remember, one full lap on the outline of the courtyard is a mile. First we will let Spitfire here lead the exercises, and then we will go outside. A girl stands up and walks to the front of everyone and turns to face them. She has straight orange hair, with a few lighter orange streaks. Oh I remember her Shes the girl who interrupted me saying my name in Home Ec Jerk

You get your phone out and start to unlock it, but the battery is dead. You slide it back into your pocket and watch the students do their warm-up exercises. Your gaze drifts over to Ditzy, and happens to stay there.

Youre starin mighty hard at that one girl there.

I was not! You say snapping out of your trance and looking at AJ.

Then why get so defensive about it? Dammit AJ

Lets change the subject What was it like on your farm?

It was hard work, but I loved it. The only reason they made me come to this school is because we made a whole bunch of extra money from some investment, and they wanted me to go to a top notch school. She says as she leans back against the wall, tilting the hat down so it covered her eyes.

Well it sounds like they want you to be the best you can. You nudge her with your shoulder.

I suppose, but I do wish they would have just let me go back to that little public school, it was only about twenty miles away.

Well you have to admit, this place is pretty awesome so far

Ill give ya that, this place is great. She lifts her hat up and puts it on you, Whats your story partner? So far all I know is your name and that you flirt with every girl.

Aw thats all you need to know about me! You throw both your arms around her and hug her, faces touching, and you can feel her blushing.

Git off me! You let go and laugh.

My story is a sad one, you probably wouldnt care for it.

Try me.

Its kind of long

I can handle it. You stifle a laugh.

HAHA, thats what she said!

You are such a little kid You throw your arms around her again and say;

But you love me for it!

Git on with your story, ah want to hear it. You sigh and let go of her.

Some other time AJ Maybe later if Rainbow starts to harass me again.

Fine, only because ah can tell its making you sad just thinking about it

You look over to see the class filing out into the courtyard and Mr. Connors waving you two over. You both pick up your bags and follow them outside. It is slightly warmer than when you were out here before and there was a single dirt pathway that went out for about ten meters before just emptying out into the courtyard. The kids were spreading out in front of a rope which more than likely suggested that was the starting and end point. The rope was held in place by a single metal pole that looked to be about 7 feet high.

Alright, is everyone ready to begin? You hear multiple enthusiastic replies, but the majority of the people who responded just muttered curses. Mr. Connors presses a button on the ground and the rope retracts and the pole slides into the ground, and everyone sprints past it. Several people just walk, about two people sprint full on, and the majority of the class just jogged. You would more than likely just walk, knowing for a fact that fitness testing doesnt count towards anything; it was just the governments way of finding the average times for a teenager running a mile.

Alright, now you two. You both turn to Mr. Connors who was looking at his clip board.

I can set you two loose, seeing as we cant go back inside until the last person passes that line, he glances at one kid who has barely made it twenty feet past the starting point, So you both have two options. Either you both can leave school early and Ill give you a pass, or you can do some extra credit and cut through the middle of the courtyard and follow the majority of the class. All I will ask you to do is keep an eye on them, if people start to yell at each other get in-between them and defuse the situation before it escalates.

You and Applejack glance at each other for a brief moment before looking at him again.

Well both keep an eye on them. You answer for AJ and yourself.

Great! he waves you back inside and you watch him enter in 10 extra credit points for both of you.

Alright great, so just cut through the middle of the courtyard?

Yeah, here take this snow globe with you; its my universal pass that you are doing something for me. If anyone stops you just show them that and they will let you go.

Cool snow globe You shake it up and watch the snow fall, and for a brief second you see two tiny children huddling under a fallen tree. You shake your head and look back at it to see, Santas Workshop.

Alright we will get right on that Mr. Connors! You open the door to the courtyard for Applejack who just laughs and makes fun of you.

Now if ah didnt know any better ah would have thought you were trying to, she clears her throat and copies your voice, get to know me better.

Real funny AJ. You say as you walk through the door out into the courtyard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe we should have just left. This has got to be the most boring thing ever You say as you and Applejack follow the group of kids who had slowed down to a walk.

Ah think your right lover boy

I think I am too Apple Jacks

You sigh and continue walking. The group was literally almost against the wall of the courtyard and they were looking into every window they could. Ditzy had slowly drifted to the back of the group, and now she was one of the three stragglers in the back just walking. One of the boy stragglers started a conversation with Ditzy, and it ended up turning into an argument.

Ditzy, youre too slow.

I am not!

Prove it then!

Both of you relax, we will settle this with a simple sprint. The other straggler intervenes for you and Applejack.

First one to make it back to the group up there wins. Take your marks. They both get down ready to sprint.

Five. Four. One. GO! Haha, what an asshole.

They both scramble off, the guy taking the lead. Ditzy is pretty fast, but she keeps teetering to the left or right, and it looks like she is about to fall. The guy starts to slow down a bit, but Ditzy doesnt and she ends up running into him.

*Thump*

They both hit the ground, and the guy stands up and starts yelling at her.

AJ, you follow the rest of the group, I have this. You start to walk over to them, sensing something is about to happen from his body language.

WHAT THE FUCK DITZY! WATCH WHERE YOURE GOING YOU FUCKING KLUTZ! Oh Im sorry, I forgot your eyes are all DERPY! You see her eyes start to water and you increase your walking speed.

DERPY, DERPY, DERPY! Youre a waste of space you little stupid piece of shi- he raises his hand like he is about to hit her, and you grab his wrist and spin him around to look at you.

Say it again. You look the guy in the eyes, he rivaled your height, but he was pretty weak, all fat no muscle.

Go on, say it again, I dare you. Fear flashes through his eyes and he struggles to get out of your grip.

Leave. Now. You push him away as you let go of him, and he sprints over to the group.

You okay Ditzy? You offer her a hand but she just looks at you.

Thanks

Think nothing of it. You lean over so your hand goes further into her reach and you give her a warm smile.

Why are you being so nice to me when Ive been nothing but mean to you? She says as she accepts your hand and you pull her up.

Did you expect me to stand there and watch you get bullied? You watch her as she tries to take a step, but when her left foot hits the ground it twists in pain and she takes her foot off the ground. Probably a sprain or something

Here let me help, you walk up beside her and you sling her arm around your neck. She was only a few inches shorter than you, so you didnt have to bend over too far, she could just lean on you. You tried explaining to her how to walk like this so she didnt put a lot of weight on her foot, but she just couldnt figure it out.

I dont understand She tilts her head slightly to the side and frowns. Fuck it.

You bend over and pick her up bridal style, not worrying about what other people will think.

Put me down!

Sorry Ditzy, cant do that. You probably werent going to figure out the arm over my neck way of walking anyway You give her a sheepish smile and she frowns but doesnt say another word. You start making your way back to the Gym.

She was surprisingly light. A lot lighter than you would expect a sophomore girl to be, either that or your weight lifting before you left your old state paid off. You work up a sweat from the heat and carrying a girl around in your arms, and you decide to push further on the whole liar deal.

So Ditzy, you said I was a liar, when did I lie to you? You honestly have no idea why she was still mad at you; you had already sincerely apologized about mentioning her eyes. She closes her eyes and says;

You said I was pretty. All of this hate for giving her a compliment? Mind. Blown.

Wait youve been mad at me this whole time for giving you a compliment!?

Shut up, I know you were lying to me. Her voice is like poison and you stumble a bit at how serious she sounded.

Ditzy, you dont think youre pretty?

I know Im not. Hmm

Yeah your right, youre not. She opens her eyes and glares at you.

Put me down. Now.

Relax, you didnt let me finish. You look her right in the eyes, and for a brief moment they were both staring back, Youre not pretty, you are beautiful Ditzy Doo. She blushes and squirms in your arms.

Stop making fun of me!

Im not making fun of you Ditzy, Im telling you nothing but the truth. Trust me, Im a terrible liar, you would know if I was lying. She sighs and just crosses her arms and pouts again, probably one of the most adorable things you had ever seen.

Why do you not believe me?

Because no one has ever told me Im pretty except for my friends.

You sigh and shake your head. You were just getting to the entrance to the gym from the courtyard, and you shoulder the door open to see Mr. Connors standing next to his cart on his laptop.

What happened?

You look at Ditzy who looks at you back. You both know about the bullying rule, so you dont know if you should say what actually happened. You were about to fess up, but Ditzy speaks first.

I tried to race someone else and I ended up tripping I think I may have twisted my ankle or something she flashes you a smile before continuing;

New kid here helped me get back up. He tried explaining to me how to walk with my arm around his neck, but I couldnt figure it out Eventually he just picked me up like this and he brought me back here

Mr. Connors looks at both of you quizzically before nodding and writing a pass for the both of you to go to the nurse. He walks into the boys locker room, most likely where his office is.

Want to try and walk with your arm around my neck now? You ask as you slowly make your way to the girls locker room.

Well Im kind of comfortable She blushes, closes her eyes, and bites her bottom lip. DAAAW FUCKING ADORABLE!

So that means you want me to keep carrying you? She nods her head but keeps her eyes closed.

If you say so Ditzy So your stuff is in the girls locker room right?

Yeah, nobody should be in there, so you can go in and get my bag

You set her down on the floor, back against some bleachers, and you walk towards the girls locker room.

I remember what your bag looks like, its a pale gray messenger bag right?

Yup.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas Ditzy, what do you have in this bag? You say as you roll your shoulder so the strap gets back into a more comfortable position. You were probably carrying about a hundred and fifty pounds total right now, the majority of it being Ditzy, and then the rest of it being your bag and Ditzys bag.

Sorry, I run things around school for teachers She gives you a small smile and you instantly feel the weight of the messenger bag go away.

Im not complaining or anything, just wondering. So how are you going to run things around for teachers now?

Actually I wasnt planning on doing it If you didnt mind I Could you maybe run them around for me? She pouts at you and she looks like a sad puppy, and you feel your legs start to melt.

I would, its just I dont really know any of the teachers You give her a feeble smile and she laughs at you.

Ill find someone to go with you, do it for me? Pretty please? Her bottom lip starts to quiver. DBWEKLUTJHDKLJTNHEFOUIALJKEQONFALKTN.

Alright fine Ditzy Ill do it, just stop being so adorable You tear your gaze from her and look at the wall of lockers to your right.

Haha, I didnt think that would work! I guess I know your weakness now.

Ha Ha Ditzy, I guess you do.

The Nurses office is right there on the right. She points to a room with a Red Cross on it and she opens the handle for you as you shoulder it open.

Hello there. Oh look its Ditzy, what did you do this time? A girl sitting at a circular marble table asks.

The girl looks to be about thirty, and she had pale blue eyes, and her skin was whiter than Raritys. Her hair was a light pink color, and she had the back of it tied into a ball, with the front of her hair waved gently to the side of her face, with a small nurses hat placed neatly on top.

They know you by name Ditzy? Thats pretty bad. You say letting out a laugh.

Shut up.

Ditzy here may have sprained her ankle, she tried racing someone and she tripped.

If she only sprained her ankle why are you carrying her like that? The woman behind the desk stands up and walks over to you, raising an eyebrow and grinning.

I-You see

I couldnt figure out how to walk with my arm around his neck Nurse Redheart. Jeez, no need to toy with the guy. Thanks Ditzy

Oh Ditzy you never let me have any fun Set her down on that cushioned table and Ill take a look at her. The bell rings and you instinctively start walking towards the door.

Cant wait to get away from me huh? You turn around and see Ditzy playing with her hair.

Sorry, instinct ya know? You say walking back over to her.

Its fine. Now give me my bag so I can get someone to go with you. You slide the messenger bag of your shoulder and hand it to her. She rummages through it for a while before pulling out her cell phone.

Tell me when you know one of these people She goes off a list of people you dont know and you frown and scratch your head.

Nope, dont know any of them.

Oh come on!

Im sure I can find someone-" the door opens and Fluttershy walks in.

Oh Im sorry- Im intruding arent I? Im sorry Ill just She turns around and frantically tries to open the door but you run over to her and put your hand on her shoulder.

Relax Fluttershy, you are not intruding.

Sorry, I was just dropping off some flowers for nurse Redheart She produces a small black box from her bag and opens it showing you a few multicolored flowers.

I usually bring her new ones every week She motions towards a glass vase holding some flowers on the marble desk.

Dont let us stop you.

Okay She says, her voice barely audible. Oh Fluttershy

Actually, could you maybe help me with something?
