//-------------------------------------------------------// School Days -by Epicpony2346- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 [Author's note: I used general Zoi's Pony creator to make all of these characters. There for i will be giving you pony codes for better viewing 'cause I do a poor job of describing XD.] " Cyrus! Open your room door I can't have you skipping school anymore! " says my mother Elisa, a white alicorn with a blue and white mane and tail. I roll my eyes and shout, " NO! I'm NOT going back to that stupid Manehatten excuse for a High School and thats FINAL! "  As you know now, I'm Cyrus, I'm one of the only male alicorns besides my brother Artemis. I'm gray and i originaly had a blace mane untill I added red streaks to it, which got my mom mad I have blue eyes with slitted black pupils and did I mention that my  eye color turns red when I'm angery. I hear more banging and instead of my mother's voice i hear my brother, Artemis. " Cyrus c'mon bro you can't stay in there. School aint' the same without you bro. " he says. I walk over to the door and say, " Do you mean that or are you lying. You know I can tell if your lying or not right." I hear him sigh as he says, " Cyrus I'm not lying. I only lie to my friends. Not my own brother." I crack open the door and look at my brother. A gray alicorn with a black mane and the same eyes as mine but green. " Do you mean that? Do you really REALLY mean that? " I say. " I'll give you HALF of my allowance to go to school each week. " he says. I open my door and nearly yell at my brother, " DEAL! ". We walk down the hall of our large mansion to the exit, two large double doors that are opened by two of the guards that work here. Our mother waves as we leave lecturing me before i leave about using magic during school. When we land from the long flight from our house to the school we land on the school grounds asmy brothers friends approach me and him. The first over, a brown pegasis with a white and red mane and tail. The second, a dark red unicorn with a black mane and tail. Lastly, two female alicorns, which I'm not to suprised about, one pink with a blonde mane and tail, the other blue with a black mane and tail, like my brother. " Artemis we thought you were going to be late! What took ya so long? " The unicorn rolls his eyes and says, " Speed YOU were the only one that said he was gunna be late! " Speed flinches then says, " Drake how come you always put ME on blast. YOU convinced me to think that! " I turn to my brother who in turn shrugs." Guys stop arguing i wanna introduce you to my brother Cyrus," he says to Speed and Drake. " Wait," says Drake, "Cyrus? As in the alicorn who skipped school for 3 weeks?!?" I smirk and say, "Yep that was me. Oh, and don't you mean the handsome alicorn that skipped school for 3 weeks." Artemis rolls his eyes at me and then introduces me to the two female alicorns, "The pink alicorns name is Sandra, and the blue alicorns name is-". I cut him off and say, "I know her already. The blue ones name is Sabre and she's your girlfriend." Then i walked away, not noticing Speed's eyes trailing off after me, as I think to myself, 'Let's get these classes over with.' My classes went by fast. First Language Arts, then Science, Social Studies (Celestia help me), and Algebra, after that its lunch. I'm putting my Algebra book into my locker, two girls approach me twins by the looks of them. Both orange with blonde hair and green eyes, but one is wearing a red bow in her hair. "Can you show us where the lunch room is?" asks the twin without the bow, "We're new here and we can't find it." I nod, "Sure I can." I say as i walk down the hall with either one of the twins on each side of me, "I'm Cyrus by the way." "I'm Kate," says the twin without the bow, "The one with the bow is Kathrine." Kathrine nods and says, "You can call me Kathy for short Cyrus." As we walked down the hall, when we got near the lunch room I ask, "Do you need a place to sit? 'Cause if you do you can sit with me, my brother Artemis and his friends if you would like to." The twins look at each other, turn back to me and Kathy says, " Sure! We would love to." Kate steps in and says, " You did after all show us where the lunch room is. " I smile and say, " Eh, I couldn't let you two wander the school looking for the lunchroom." After lunch period I think to myself, 'C'mon Cyrus only two classes left, you can do this!' The second to last class I have is gym, in which I got into a fight with another student, so I had to sit out for the rest of that class and the other student the same. I was sent to the office to speak with Principal Stapleton, a brown unicorn with a gray mane. I walk into his a office as he says, "Ah Cyrus. Its nice to see you in school again. The #1 student known for starting fights." I sit in a chair across from his desk and say, " Whats up Jack?" while smirking. He yells, "ITS PRINCIPAL STAPLETON NOT JACK .YOU ADDRESS ME AS PRINCIPAL STAPLETON!" I roll my eyes and say,"Yeah whatever Jack. I REALLY don't care what name I'm supposed to use to address you. All I know is whatever consequence you give me I WILL skip it." He sits back in his chair and says, "I'm not gunna punish you for this fight since this is kinda your first day back, but the next will have a consequence. You hear me Cyrus?" He excuses me from his office as the end of the day bell rings and i think to myself, 'Now, whos the next person I'll start a fight with?' //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 [Sorry it took so long to get this up. I was kinda grounded from my laptop. Enjoy!] I get home and walk down the hall to our living room to see Artemis sitting with all of his friends that i met earlier today. Speed is first to notice me and I'm begining to think that he likes me, and by that i mean likes me."Hi Cyrus!" he says while spreading out his wings a bit(NOT A WING BONER),"Wanna come hang out with us?" I look at him and say, "Sorry. Not right now, but another time ok Speed?" "Oh..." he sighs folding his wings to his sides, "Ok....." I walk through the living room towards the hall that leads to my room when my brother teleports himself infront of me. "Why won't you hang out with us? More importantly, how come you won't hang out with your own Brother?" I rub the back of my head with a fore hoof and say, "I just wanna go to sleep right now OK?" He sighs then says, "I'm not gunna force you to do something you don't want to, but next time consider it alright?" He turns and walks away, heading back to the living room with the rest of his friends. I go into my room, lie down on my bed, and fall asleep, waking up for dinner as Elisa, our mother, asks how our school day went, then I went back to sleep (Yes I know I'm lazy deal with it). The school days went by very fast. I didn't get into any fights, but started a few. I ran into Kate and Kathrine in the hall every once in a while, along with my brother and his friends. The school bell rings and I'm the first one out of the classroom. I Use my magic and literally throw my books into my locker and closing it before walking outside. I spread my wings out and begin to hover into the air when Speed shouts, "Cyrus! Wait up!" I wait for him to hover up to me before asking, "Uhh... Whats up?" "I was wondering if I could hang out with you at your house?" he asks nervously. "Umm Sure I guess." I answer as begin to fly towards my house with him following me. When we land Speed ask me something that I don't really hear. "What?" I say turning to him. He looks at me before saying nervously, "A-are we friends?" I freeze up and think Why would he ask that? He's friends with my bro and a friend of my bro is a friend of mine. "Well you are my brother's friend so yeah we are friends." I anwser. He perks up and asks, "Sooo you wouldn't mind if I complimenton how good your flying skills are?" he says as we walk up to the doors of my house, which is opened by the guards guarding it. I nod and say, "Go ahead." He tells me that he could never do any of the manoevers that I was doing on the way here. We enter the living room and I see Artemis sitting with his girlfriend, Sabre, while her sister Sandra is sitting in a chair as Drake walks into the Living room caring a glass of punch using his magic when he sees me and Speed walking in. "Hey guys Cyrus and Speed are here." he says, before he drinks some of his punch as my brother turns to me and says, "Did you get another detention?" I look at him before saying, "You can't prove anything!!!" then going into the kitchen causing a series of crashes, "I'm okay!" I shout back. Speed begins to laugh a bit and Sabre and Sandra decide to leave. Speed goes to sit down and Artemis walks over to him and says, "Well?" Speed raises a brow and says, "Well what?" Drake walks over and tells him, "Did you? Ya know, Tell'em?" Speed shakes his head, "I couldn't tell him how I feel about him okay!?!?! I-I'm just afraid Cyrus won't like me the way I like him. I just can't!' he says, craning his head in his hooves. I walk back into the room and they all act like they didn't do anything while I was in the kitchen. "Hey Artemis," I say as I walk in, "You got 50 bits I can borrow and most likely, probally not pay you back?" He begins to get up and says,"Umm sure I guess you can." I smirk and say,"Thanks bro!" while I levitate his wallet next to me. "Wait. How did you? My wallet was." he stutters. I just continue to smirk before saying,"Thanks for the money!"  as i walk out. "Bro take a guard with you! You know mom doesn't like it when we go out without one!" shouts Artemis. "Don't worry I will!" I shout back as I point at one of my own guards and tell him to follow as I leave the house and head to the store. As I leave they slowly begin to resume their talk with Speed. "Speed bro you can't continue to admire Cyrus from a distance! Unless you want to lose him to someone else!" says Artemis. Drake nods in agreement with Artemis," You better tell him before another girl or one of the twins he hangs out with gets him. Trust me, he has so many girls that like him already he won't be single for much longer dude, tell him while you still can!" Speed looks at the two of them before saying Like I said before," he swallows," I'm afraid he won't like me back!"Artemis leans into Speed and says,"Look you know that Cyrus is bisexual (not sure if thats spelled right) right?" Speed nods,"I know that, almost half the boys in my math class like him!" Drake raises a brow,"Then why won't you ask him out for Celestia's sake!?!?!?!" "Cause I'm just too shy!!!!" says Speed getting into Drake's face. Artemis face hoofs and nearly yells,"DRAKE YOU'RE NOT HELPING!!!!" Speed sits down and shoves his face into a pillow into and groans while Drake and Artemis begin to argue. While that went on at home I'm at the store in an aisle full of fedoras even though I already own 20 back at my house. I keep trying to ignore the mares off to my left, who after looking at me turn to their friends and begin to giggle. While off to the right I have a couple stallions that keep looking at me everytime I stand on my hindlegs to reach a fedora, and one of them looks like they are about ready to make a move on me. As I try on fedoras and choose the ones I'm gunna buy my guard, a light gray pegasus with a black mane and tail who is about my age, taps my shoulder and whispers something into my ear. I turn to him to see he's wearing a white fedora that says, "SWAG" across the front brim in black. "Really?" I say smiling at him. He nods and says,"Buy it for me?" while smiling at me."Alright Steel Shield, I'll buy it ONLY cause you look good in it." I say causing him to blush as I flick him under his chin with my tail. I can already tell that he likes me cause I've known him and he's known me since we were young and he developed a crush on me over that time. I'm used to it cause i've had expirences with stallions and mares. I pay for our hats then begin to head home as I think, Well that took longer that i expected. I wonder what happened at home while I was gone. Artemis is gunna flip when he sees Steel's new hat. I turn to see him check out a mare that walked past him pulling down the glasses covering his eyes to get a better view. He looks at me and says,"She was hot, but not as good as you." I smile at him and say,"I know I am." then winking at him as we continue or walk home. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 School Days Chapter 3 The next morning, or the first day of the weekend, instead of waking up whenever I felt like, my brother Artemis ends up waking me up. "Cyrus!! Wake up bro!! Mother wants to speak with us!! NOW!!" he says, pulling the covers off of my bed using magic, He then yells into my ear, "CYRUS!!!! WAKE UP!!!!." My eyes fly open, turning a bit red from the result of me getting angery. "Really Artemis? Really?" I say sleepily. My eyes turn back to their normal blue as I rub my ear and hope I'll still be able to hear out of it after my brother just nearly broke my eardrum. "Cyrus! C'mon! Mother needs to talk to us, and if we keep her waiting any longer shes gunna kill us! You know how easily she gets impatient! C'mon!" says Artemis before teleporting out of my room. I stretch out my wings before folding them back to my sides and think to myself, So much for sleeping in..., before teleporting myself into the living room. I get to the living room and grab a drink from the kitchen before actually going into it. I enter the living room and sit on the couch next to Artemis, while our mother Elisa sits in one of the two chairs across from us. As I sit down is when she begins to speak, "I'm pretty sure you both have noticed I have been at alot of different places lately. For example, today, tomorrow, and Monday I will be in Phillydelphia." she says, "I'm trusting you two to be home along for three days. Alright?" I nodwith Artemis who sends a "Don't do anything stupid while she's gone" glare, cause I have a habit of not listening to rules. Elisa gets up and says, "Good, Now I have to get going so I'll see you two on Tuesday. Don't do ANYTHING you WILL REGRET." she says before heading out, taking about four or five guards with her. "Well," I say, "I'm going back to sleep, don't wake me, don't need me, got it?" I finish looking at Artemis. "Aren't you forgeting something?" says Artemis pointing at my drink. "Oh Yeah." I say as I grab it, drink the rest of it, then throwing it backwards as it hits the wall and shatters. "Bye!" I say before teleporting to my room to find a note, Cyrus, don't even think about hitting you brother Artemis with ANY of your intruments or anything else. Got it? Good. ~Elisa. "AWWW C'MON!!!" I say disapointed, "Thats one of my favorite things to do to him..." before shrugging and falling face-first onto my bed and falling asleep. I wake up after many hours of sleep and end up looking at my trophy case. It holds all of the instruments I used to play before father died. Their is a keyboard (or piano which ever works for you.), a flute, the viola, violin, cello, double bass, and the electric and acoustic guitars. I can't help but sigh as I think of my father, Cyrus Senior ( Cyrus I ). I was named after him, Cyrus Junior ( Cyrus II ), Why did you quit..., says a voice in my head, You were so good at every single one of those instruments. Especially the violin and viola. Not as good as two of Octavia's three sons, ( Another story I'm working on/ rewriting.), But you were still good at it. I pull  the curtains down over the trophy case using my magic to stop the memories of my now dead father from coming back. I stretch out again, while thinking about ways to annoy my brother while mother is in Philydelphia. "Wait, so you and Artemis are going to be home for three days while your mother is in Phillydelphia!?!?!" says Drake as he tries to believe it. Artemis nods and says, "Yep," Drake just goes and sits in one of the chairs in the living room as I walk in. "Its about tim you woke up Cyrus. So you planning any thing today?" says Artemis as he notices me walk in. "Nope." I say as I sit down on our other couch since he and Sabre are on the other one. I can't help but notice that Sandra and Speed are missing, so I decide to ask, "Where's Sandra and Speed?" "Sandra got saturday school and Speed is probally sleeping in." answers Sabre. I nod as she stretches out her wings then levitating a gem off of the coffee table. "Yes Sabre its real." I say after reading her mind. "Cyrus, you're reading minds again aren't you." says Artemis, "Why yes. Yes I am." I answer while smirking, reiciving a glare from his girlfriend Sabre. Their was a long period of silence before Drake broke the silence, "Who were those two twins you alway hang out with? Are you dating one of them? Or both of them at once?" he asks me while levitating his drink to himself. "Their names are Kate and Kathrine, and no I'm not dating them. They're just friends and acctually I'm not dating anyone right now." I answer. Sabre does a spit-take before saying, "You're single? You of all boys are single? You're kidding right? HOW IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA IS SOMEONE AS HANDSOME AS YOU SINGLE!?!?!" Artemis looks at her and raises a brow, while my eyes widden from the sudden compliment. "What its true he is handsome. Not my words thats what most of the girls at school say." says Sabre, "I'm serious!" After a long period of talking about things that aren't prior to now a guard walks of to me and Artemis and says, "Master Cyrus and Artemis. There is-" "HA!" I say, interupting, "He said my name first!!" Artemis rolls his eyes, "Continue." he says to the guard. "There is somepony named Speed who claims he to know you. Should he be let in?" Artemis nods and the guard walks away as I start an argument with Drake on what school subject is more boring, Social Studies or English class. Speed walks in as I say, "Fine then lets ask Speed!" I turn to him as he says nervously, "A-ask me what?" "Which is more boring, Social Studies or English?" He walks over and sits next to me, "Social Studies, Definately Social Studies. I fell asleep 10 times in that class in ONE day!" I smile and put my foreleg over Speed's shoulders, "Thats my boy! I told you Drake! IN. YOUR. FACE!" After a few seconds I remove my foreleg and say, "I'm gunna go take a shower alright?" as I walk towards the hall that holds my room, ma's room and Artemis's room. As I left the living room I didn't notice Speed, whos wings were stiff and sticking straight out. I walk down the hall to the bathroom as I think to myself, Ha! Who would've thought that Sandra would've got a Saturday school! I walk down the hallway a few more steps when my eyes widen, Wait, HOW LONG HAS THIS SCHOOL HAD A SATURDAY SCHOOL!?!?!?! I think to myself as my slitted pupils widden, which only happens when I get nervous, sad, suprised or scared. They turn back to normal as I reach the bathroom and open the door using my my magic while making sure not to close the door on my tail. I've done it before and it hurt. Badly. I get into the shower and turn it on using magic again, cause I'm being lazy. Don't forget to comment, rate and possibly... maybe... track!
