My Sweetie

Love At First Sight

Sweetie Belle walked down the hallways of Ponyville High. It was a nice school, though it took some getting used to after the small schoolhouses her and her friends had been taught in up until now. She carried a small slip of paper in front of her face with her magic.

“Locker 115, 115. Ahh here it is.” She mumbled to herself as she found her locker. She trotted over to it happily. She had never had a locker before. She entered the combination and pulled up on the lever and the locker creaked open. Inside was nothing, nothing at all. Just the way she wanted it. She pulled her saddlebags off and placed them in the locker. The bell rang as she closed the locker with her books in her magic. She hurried down the hall and began to cross the courtyard. She was almost halfway through when a familiar, and infuriating voice sounded behind her.

“Hey there, blank flank!” Diamond Tiara said behind her. She suppressed a gag. And turned around and glared at the filly and the large stallion standing next to her. “How do you like my new coltfriend. I met him this morning.” She said in her annoying voice.

“Did you already bang him?” Sweetie asked in a sarcastic tone. Diamond’s face screwed up in anger while the stallion just looked at her with indifference.

“If anyone has banged him already it would be YOU, slut!” Diamond yelled, rage taking over her voice.

“Oh, i’m the slut. You slept with half the colts in our kindergarten class before seventh grade.” Sweetie said, the sarcasm still in her voice. Diamond Tiara was seething with rage while her ‘coltfriend’ just looked on in silence.

“Make her shut up!” Diamond yelled to her boyfriend. The stallion grunted and scraped a hoof on the ground.

“Now now, you wouldn't hurt a lady.” Sweetie said. The stallion eyed her angrily.

“You’re no lady, you’re a slut!” Diamond screamed. The stallion was about to charge when another pony came up behind him and tapped on his shoulder. He grunted and turned. His eyes widened when he saw the pony behind him. He yelped and jumped back.

“I-I’m sorry.” The large stallion said.

“Now pebble, what did I say about the new ponies. I said we would treat them with respect and welcome them here. Not threaten them. And as for you.” The smaller, black stallion said turning to Diamond Tiara. He had been wearing a pair of sunglasses this entire time. “BOO!” He yelled in her face taking off the glasses and the immediately replacing them. She screamed and ran off. The black pony turned to look at the one he called pebble. “Get to class dude. And don’t let me catch you acting this way again, or they’ll be hay to pay.” He said.

“T-T-Thank you sir.”  Pebble said. The black stallion held up a hoof.

“For the last time. Call me Night.” He said.

“Yes Mr. Night.” Pebble said running off. Night sighed and turned to Sweetie Belle. He didn’t get a chance to take a good look at her before, but she was beautiful. Her purplish mane fell in loose curls against her pristine white coat. She didn’t have her cutie mark yet, unlike night.

“Thank you.” She said snapping him out of his thoughts.

“It was nothing. He does that to everypony on their first day as a freshmare.” Night said thinking about the first day he had been here. ‘He looks younger than the other stallions here.’ Sweetie thought to herself. ‘Much younger than the other stallion.

“So, how old are you?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Sophomore. Little pebble is a senior if that’s what you wanted to know.”

“How did you get him to do what you wanted? He was nearly twice as big as you!” She exclaimed.

“Size and skill don’t always matter.” He said. The tardy bell rang signifying the first classes to start. Sweetie belle cursed herself. Now she was late. “What class do you have next?” He asked her. She peeked at her schedule.

“AP Algebra with Mr. McCarty.” She said. Night smiled.

“C’mon, i’ll walk you to class.” He said to her.

As they walked down the halls, Sweetie looked at the stallion next to her. He was taller than her by a half head as well as a pegasus. His coat was a jet black while his mane was a scraggly white. He wasn't a very impressive stallion in terms of build, he was muscular. But not a behemoth like pebble. It was the way he carried himself. He had an air of self importance around him. Like a shield of confidence and mystery. The mystery came from the pair of black aviators he wore over his eyes. ‘What are you hiding under there?’ She asked herself. He stopped at a door and turned the knob with his wing. The teacher, a brown unicorn, turned to look at who was disrupting his class.

“Glad to see you could join us Mr. Night. And who is this?” The unicorn asked picking up a clipboard.

“This is Sweetie Belle. We had some, problems with Pebble.” He said. The brown unicorn nodded.

“Alright, you get a pass, this time. Take your seats, we were just about to begin. Sweetie Belle sat down next to Applebloom and night took a seat next to a dark grey earth pony in the back of the class.

“So, are you two going out?” The grey pony asked.

“No, just friends Dusk. You know how pebble can get.” He said. Dusk nodded.

“She’s cute. You two would be great together you know.” Dusk said raising an eyebrow.

“How would you know. You haven’t even met her.”  Night said to his friend. The teacher was writing something on the board but it didn't matter to Night or Dusk. They were required to take this class because they hadn't last year. The reason they didn't was because they knew everything the unicorn had taught them. so this lass was really just a get together period for the two friends.

But Algebra didn't come as easy to Sweetie as it did the stallions in the back room. She scribbled down notes in her books as the unicorn at the front of the room rambled on about triangles and Pythagorean theorem.Sweetie belle tried to pay attention, but she couldn't get Night off of her mind. The way he walked, the way he talked, the way he commanded respect from everybody in the room. and most of all, the glasses that he wore. She hadn't seen his eyes once because they were hidden behind those black glasses.
