A New Life

''Don't worry about not getting along with people,

just remember that in this life, you can make

anything on your own...''

Light...

I opened my eyes for a while, but shut them right away, I guess a curtain wasn't such a good idea to keep the light from getting into my room, especially when the cloth was really thin.

The alarm was also ringing, it was 9:00 a.m., according to my phone's clock. I decided to get my shit together and stand up, I went directly to the bathroom to check it out, it was the only thing I didn't check the day before, that means yesterday.

I opened the bathroom's door, I went directly to the sink to splash my face with some water, thanks to the light I was blind. When I used the sink I noticed that a light turned on, the light was red, I thought it was because the sink's handle was on the left side, which was the side where the handle had to be in order to get hot water.

''Well, that's interesting.'' I said to myself.

After some seconds of complete stupidness, splashed my face with hot water, I couldn't imagine how cold the water could be if I put the handle on the right side, it was January, and the winter hadn't finished, yet.

I saw the red light clearer, thanks to the water splashing, I wanted to see if my theory was right, so I put the sink handle on the right to see if the light turned blue.

''Let's hope the water doesn't freeze.'' I said to myself again.

Actually, my theory was right, the light turned blue! I don't know why I felt so excited to see that I was right for once, but it still felt good.

I turned back to check out the bathroom, I realized it had a nice layout, it was kind of bigger than my old bathroom. The best thing ever was, I had a bathtub, and that was fucking awesome, I always wanted to own one.

I looked at the mirror I had next to me, and realized... I was fucked up. My hair was a mess, and that's the only thing I could notice. Surprisingly for me, I had my shampoo and my conditioner next to the bathtub, I guess Dad must have put it there for me.

I was way too tired to order everything, I just went to my room and lay down, I guess I don't remember anything after that, I just fell asleep thinking about what to do.

But anyways, I needed a shower, so I went to the bathtub to see if it had another cool design like the sink did. And actually, it did; there was a handle with a blue dot and another one with a red dot, I used both of them.

Turned out, the water came from the ceiling!

''Well, fuck.'' I said looking at the hole there was on the ceiling, it had golden frame.

The water fell right inside the bathtub, so I just had to wait until the bathtub was almost full to take an awesome shower, and the first one I'd take in my new luxurious house.

*** *** ***

I got out from the bathroom with a towel covering my waist and went to open the closet. On the short way, I picked up my phone, I had some WhatUpp messages on the screen.

I unlocked the phone with my PIN Code, I always made the code with names of people I liked, or bands, this time I entered the one I had that day, which was ''67384''; that means ''Opeth'', it's a really cool band.

I swiped down the screen to see how many messages I had.

''67 messages from 5 conversations.''

''Well, that's great, at least I know people still care about me.'' I said while opening WhatUpp.

There were 5 conversations alright; there were messages from the group Mirage 2015 TM, (that was the band I had with my brother and two friends), there were messages from some friends, and two messages from Susy.

Susy was one of the girls I liked, not mentioning the other two, this one was the one, I actually approached her with much more wisdom than the other two, and we became friends, that was great to know. I fell in love with her once, but that died once I realized she was in love with someone else.

I talked to some friends about what to do, I was broken, but at least I knew she didn't hate me, not like the other bitch. I talked with the bassist and guitarist from my band when we were in a group chat at 5 a.m. at my old house, they were sleeping there that day.

I remember Alexander's (the bassist) words clearly:

''Look, in case you don't know, you still have something to do: you have to tell her.

I know it might be scary, but all you have to do is *get those balls of steel and tell her.***

I know you love her, and if you really do you'd let her know, right?''

That guy is so fucking awesome, it's also good to know I live nearby him now. In the end I told her, but things didn't go as expected, I told her some really sweet things, knowing that she was in love with someone else, everything she said after that was ''Thanks.''

I talked to a group of people I loved to be in, there were two friends of mine from my class and four girls from the Prom. I explained what I said to her, they said things like ''That's so sweet!'', ''You're so cute!'' or ''Aww!''; after all I told them what she said and they got all disappointed over it.

''She's not worth it.'' said Jessica from the Prom, not from the other group.

''Go for another girl, Axl, she's not the one.'' said Stacy, we called her ''Barney'' back then.

I never actually stopped talking to her, we were still friends after all, and it didn't finish in a bad way like the other girl, but I still didn't get her.

Anyways, I was really surprised Susy texted me to see how I was! I sat down on the bed and read the message:

Susy: ''I know I never showed you the love you deserved, but don't think I forgot what you said, you know what I'm talking about ;).''

Susy: ''How is everything there in Canterlot?''

I was really happy to see she texted me, she always makes me happy in the worst days. I answered:

Me: ''It's all good, thanks for asking hahaha.''

Me: ''How is everything doing over there?''

I shut down the phone's screen and went to put some clothes on. The closet had a mirror as well, so I could see how good I looked everyday. My phone rang, either Susy answered, or there was another message from the Mirage 2015 TM group.

After I had everything on I picked up the phone and unlocked it, it was Susy:

Susy: ''We can say that your absence is very noticeable, it's sad.''

Susy: ''I'm glad it's all ok over there, rumors say you got an expensive looking house haha :).''

I answered:

Me: ''Well, rumors are true, it sure is hahahaha :D.''

It didn't take long for her to answer:

Susy: ''That's great to know, I might visit you with some friends someday, who knows? ;)''

Susy: ''Anyways, TTYL, the teacher's gonna bust me texting.''

I answered:

Me: ''See you later then, take care.''

My phone was still charging even though it was 100% charged, I disconnected it and went downstairs, on my way downstairs my phone rang a million times, I was still getting messages from someone, or a group maybe.

I saw a box on the living room's table, it was my album collection with all the fucking metal bands I listen, I didn't care much about because I knew I didn't leave it behind at least.

I sat down on the living room's couch, it felt a little cold thanks to the Winter Season, the heater wasn't really on over there. I read every message:

Mirage 2015 TM

Vicky: ''At least we still have the spirit I think, there...'' (63)

David

''Dude! I heard bad news saying that you're moving...'' (3)

Jessica

''Hope you find a new someone there, let's just hope :)'' (4)

Isabella

''Isabella sent an image'' (4)

It felt sad to see everyone waving goodbye at me, or asking how I am just because I went away, ¿I wonder why they didn't do that when I was still in Ponyville?

''Hey, you're awake!'' I heard my Dad's voice from across the room.

There was my dad, with a fake happy face looking at me, he was wearing some sort of classy outfit, there must some bad news...

''We have to look for a new school.'' said Dad.

''...'' I didn't say anything, his words ruined my day, I took my breath ''Already?''

''Better sooner than later.'' said Dad.

''But I just woke up.'' I said.

''Yeah, me too.'' he answered with a cheap smile ''Come on, put on something civil, let's look for something good.''

I sighed ''Fine...'' and went upstairs, I stopped for a while ''Aren't we gonna eat first?'' I asked.

''We'll do it outside.'' he answered.

I hated that answer, but I liked it too, it's a good chance to meet the city's elegance, I don't think I'll fit though, but I don't care about anything, fuck the haters.

I went upstairs once again, opened my room's door and opened the closet. After I put my civil clothes on, I looked at myself in the mirror, things in the city might not go so well, but well, some friends have told me that it isn't actually what they thought it would be, it's actually really cool, according to them. Sure, some people might be a little strict about the clothing, but that's people I'll want to avoid, I'm not really into style, people deal with it.

So, there I was, all dressed in black, even the sweater I wore was black, it said ''Death Metal'' and under those letters was a guy headbanging. On my left hand I had a wristband with a peace sign, and on my right hand I had another wristband that said ''Heavy Metal'', I got it from the Heavy Metal Cafe from Cloudsdale. It was weird to combine Peace with Death, but I liked both things, not musically, peace songs are kind of boring for me to listen to, on the other hand, Heavy, Groove or Death Metal gives me energy. Fuck them haters.

Anyways, I went downstairs and then went to the front door, my Dad was waiting for me there. After that we got inside the car and went on our way to find a new school, too bad I had to get into that right away, I hate studying.

*** *** ***

The snow was really getting to me, I love it, I noticed that everything was white thanks to the snow, some people were walking up to a cafe near Cloudsdale, their clothes really combined with the whole layout. Even though I was wearing black all over me, I still liked people's choice on that thing they call fashion.

One thing I really had to think  about was wearing that... ''outfit''; I don't know, it seems kind of gay to me, not to offend anyone, but my style doesn't really go with white, or with any color.

I looked at my phone and shut on the screen.

''10:34 a.m. January 14, 2015''

The fact of knowing I entered my old school for only two weeks and then got out of there right away was kind of funny, I didn't even get to finish the 1st lapse of the whole grade. They always tell me that the 1st lapse in whatever grade you are is the easier one, the 2nd is the longest and hardest, and the 3rd isn't really a threat, unless you got bad grades in the 1st lapse.

I don't know if this new school is actually gonna be the same as my old one, I was really used to the way things worked there, but, this one was new, it was on another state, and, supposedly, it's really strict, but some don't agree with that term. I don't even know if Tenth Grade is going to be divided by 3 lapses like in my old school, but nothing here is the same anyways.

But anyways, I had a chance to meet new people, get a new description of myself, and... not act weird around anyone, I guess. I also couldn't be satanic either; I'm not though, they thought I was.

And well, as Jessica said, I might actually find the one here, maybe people is nicer in Canterlot, or maybe they're the same as in Ponyville  and I'll have to kick some asses to get respect, but at least there could be some action.

But I'm just supposing, I guess...

''How much further?'' I asked.

My dad looked at me with a surprised face ''Weren't we going to explore the city?'' he answered me with another question.

''No.'' I paused ''We were gonna look for the new school first, right?''

''Why so soon?'' asked Dad.

''Better sooner than later, according to you.'' I said with sarcasm.

''Well, the school is right in front of us then.'' he stopped the car while the traffic light was in red.

''I was going to go that cafe that's not very far from here.'' he added.

''Let's get this shit over with before we go to the cafe.'' I said.

''Well, your choice.'' he said.

There was no one on the road, I wondered why Dad stopped even if there were no cameras to watch us.

''Why don't you just go? There's no one on the road.'' I insisted.

''We gotta respect laws.'' he said.

''You never said that while we were on Ponyville.'' I said.

He looked at me with a serious face for a second and immediately stopped looking as the traffic light turned green. Dad drove towards the school's parking lot, I noticed there was not gate to close the parking lot, or maybe there was and I just couldn't see it.

Anyways, Dad drove in and found a parking place right away.

''Well, you know what they say...'' said Dad.

''What?'' I asked with very little curiosity.

''If you find a parking place too fast, the thing you're gonna do isn't gonna be easy, Newton's laws.'' he said smiling.

''I've heard that a million times every day we go to the market.'' I laughed.

''Yeah, I know.'' he said and opened the car's door.

I got out of the car and closed the door, I followed my Dad on the way inside the school. As I was going inside the school I heard a bell, maybe it was the recess's bell, I didn't really care.

''They're still in class.'' said Dad.

''Or maybe the recess is starting?'' I supposed.

''Maybe.'' said Dad.

We walked past a garden outside the school, it had a really beautiful fountain, it was a pony standing on two hooves, it kind of reminded me of Ponyville for a while. I saw a poster thrown on the floor, it was a little dirty, I decided to pick it up while Dad kept walking, it said something about a hike or something:

''Go for February 12th hike with Canterlot High's XXV Prom!

It only takes 5$ to sign up, after that we're all happy to go walk!

The hike goes from Canterlot High to Cloudsdale's Heavy Metal Cafe.

We're making this event in order to celebrate Canterlot High School's 25th Aniversary!

We'll be selling candies and drinks once every participant gets to Cloudsdale,

don't forget to cooperate with the Prom!

We're waiting for you!

GO WONDERCOLTS!"

I noticed there were some letters written with a marker under the 'Go Wondercolts!' text:

''Don't forget to bring your ears and tails, we won't be selling those.''

It sounded kind of funny that they forgot to put that text on the poster, but at least they didn't forget everything about it. They're only 5$ though, it's no big thing, but I might want to consider my opinion once I see how good is the school.

I left the poster right where it was and rushed to my Dad to not get lost. It didn't take really long for me to notice that we were getting to the school's front entrance.

Dad opened the door and gave me some space to get in first, after I got in I did the same. Now, I wonder how the school's principal is, I hope it's not that kind of annoying one that tells you what to do everytime, or maybe that one embittered principal that always treats you like shit. I can't really make a guess.

''Ok, I'm gonna go look for the principal, I'll call you if I need your presence.'' said Dad holding my shoulder.

''Got it, I'll go see how the school is.'' I said.

''Ok, take care, and don't do anything stupid.'' he emphasized.

''Ok.'' I said.

''See you later.'' said Dad going to a door that said clearly 'Principal's Office'.

I decided to explore the school, and maybe check out those messages I didn't read, I have to see what people think. So, I walked in the middle of the hallway in front of me, there were lockers all around me, some had notes glued to them, I read one.

''I'm sorry about how I acted, I still love you, even if you think that it's not true, I love you a lot.

I left you a gift inside your locker to prove that I still care.

-Robert''

''The typical name of the ideal jerk.'' I said outloud.

I kept walking in the hallway, until I saw another note.

''I know you say we must be apart, but I'm not letting that happen, we're still friends no matter what.''

''Uh oh, friendzone.'' I said and kept reading.

''I know I'm a jerk, and that after all, you won't want me to be with you, but I love you, A LOT.

Call me when you need money.  -Steve''

''That is the most stupid, weak and gay move I've ever seen.'' I said and looked around the hallway ''Is everyone like this over here? 'Cause if they are, I'm gonna have a great time getting other's women.'' I said and kept moving.

The hallway was pretty long actually. Without noticing it, I came I across the cafeteria, the doors were closed but I could still see inside thanks to the windows it had. I didn't really try to go inside, there was nothing for me to check out in there, other than stealing food, if there was still some left.

After I walked past the cafeteria I found myself a choice, whether it was for me to go to the left hallway, or the right hallway. I chose the right hallway, because right is always right.

And no, that wasn't a joke.

*** *** ***

After a very long walk reading stupid notes left in lockers, I found a door that actually lead to somewhere interesting, it was the Soccer Field. I opened the door with a smile on my face, I finally found something cool!

It was snowing, as every Winter Season, the grass had a dark green color I liked when Winter came. I don't know why, but I always liked the combination of white snow with dark green grass, it made me feel... cool? I don't know.

I walked towards the Soccer Field until I heard a girl's voice.

''I hate that fucking teacher!'' said someone in the background ''I mean, God! How are they so stupid? I am productive.''

She kicked a soccer ball from across the field, she scored a goal, but no one was playing.

''What the hell am I supposed to do in here?'' I walked a little more towards the Field, I saw the girl sit down on a bench, must have been cold ''I guess I'll have to wait until the Chemistry class ends, fuck me.''

She had blue skin, and she had rainbow colored hair; now, that was something you didn't see every day, she was really angry. I wonder why she sat on a cold bench, she didn't really stand up, she just stayed there looking at the Field.

''I really wish I brought my Hpod...'' said the girl rubbing her forehead with the black sweater she was wearing.

I actually hate Pear, everyone is with their Hpods and Hphones, while others like me stick with Cyborg phones, they're much better, less complicated than Hphones at least, God I hate Pear.

But in the case of music, I prefer the Sorny's Talkmen, the bass quality is way too high, and I love that bass, I'm all about that. Too bad I didn't bring it with me, I could show it to her, maybe.

I actually decided to come in and talk, maybe I could meet her, she seems like we have something in common, maybe, the Hpod part isn't exactly something common, but at least I could make some jokes about her decision on music.

I walked towards the Soccer Field, she noticed me walking thanks to the sound of my steps on the grass.

''They took you out, too?'' asked the girl looking at me from the distance.

''No, just stayed out for a while.'' I said.

''That's cool...'' she looked at the floor.

I came close to her, she lifted her head up and looked at me as I came closer. While I was walking she started talking.

''I haven't seen you here before.'' she paused ''You one of those geek kids?'' she asked.

''No, I'm more into music.'' I answered.

''Really?'' she asked, but kept talking ''Death Metal or Groove Metal?'' she asked.

''Opeth or Pantera?'' I asked.

She looked at me with a surprised face ''Seems like you know.'' she turned her body towards me ''What's your favorite Opeth's song?''

''Dirge for November.'' I answered.

''From what album?'' she closed one eye a little bit asking that question.

''Blackwater Park, of course.'' I answered with a smile.

''Ok...'' she looked away for a while ''What about...?'' she paused.

''Isn't that enough for you?'' I asked as I crossed my arms.

''I gotta be sure you're not a fake first.'' she said ''Who is the only original member remaining in Opeth?'' asked her.

''The singer, Mikael something, his second name is a little hard to remember for me.'' I said.

''Ok...'' she said ''And what's their best album they've made? Considering your choice.'' asked the Rainbow-Haired girl.

''For me, it's My Arms, Your Hearse, since it's conceptual and I love the melodies.'' I answered.

She looked at me with a serious face for a while, but smiled later ''It looks like that sweater you got there isn't actually a waste of money.'' she said smiling.

''Thanks.'' I smiled back.

''What's your name?'' she asked.

''I'm Axl, you?'' I asked.

''My name is Rainbow Dash, the best female soccer player you'll find in the school.'' she grinned.

''Well, nice to meet you Rainbow Dash.'' I shook her hand ''Why are you out?'' I asked her.

''I should be asking you that.'' she said.

''I asked first.'' I said, straight.

''Well, I was in Chemistry class, and I was having fun you know, talking to my friends about cool stuff, until then, there came to teacher to the classroom, of course, my friends went to their sits, and I stayed where I was supposed to be.'' she cleared her throat and continued.

''After some minutes of class I kept talking to some people, until the fucking teacher told me to shut up, I asked why, and she just said: 'You have to be productive, little Dash', and no one, but no one calls me 'Little Dash'.'' she paused.

''I got angry because of that, I'm not a fucking kid, and well, she ended up getting me out of class and leaving me here freezing to death.'' she said ''I hate her, motherfucking teacher.''

''Typical bitchy Chemistry teacher.'' I said.

''Exactly.'' she said ''And why are you out? What class are you in?''

''I'm not actually in a class, I'm getting signed up.'' I said.

''Really?'' she looked around the Field ''So, that's why I haven't seen you in the school.'' she said.

''Yeah, that's why.'' I said.

''At least I know I'll have someone to talk to about music!'' she grinned, seemed really excited ''You're so fucking awesome.'' she stood up.

''Tell me something I don't know.'' I grinned, too.

''Wow, there.'' she said ''Don't think you're the coolest guy yet, for now, I am, got it?'' she said.

''Nope, you're the coolest girl, I'm the coolest guy.'' I corrected her.

''Yeah, whatever.'' she said, she looked around the Field for a while ''C'mon, let me show around the school.''

''Sure! Why not?'' I said.

We walked towards the door where I came in, it's really cool knowing she decided to show me around the school, I could meet her musical likes a little more on the way. I still wonder why she has Rainbow-Colored hair, weird...

*** *** ***

''That was really fucking awesome, I got the DVD.'' I said, we were talking about an Opeth's Concert.

''You do? God!'' she was really excited ''I can't wait to go to your house! We have to watch that!'' she said grinning.

''Sure!'' I smiled back.

''Hey.'' she looked at me ''You don't come from around here right?'' she asked.

''Why do you ask?'' I answered her with a question.

''Because, well... it's weird to meet someone that isn't all about classical boring music.'' she smiled.

''Well, I'm actually from Ponyville, I moved here yesterday.'' I said.

''You are?'' she paused ''And why did you move?'' she asked me with a cool smile.

''Divorce.'' that's the only thing I said.

''Oh.'' she looked away for a while ''Um... well...'' she cleared her throat ''Walking away from that subject...'' she laughed nervously ''I come from Cloudsdale.''

''Really?'' I looked at her ''Is it cool?''

''It's great actually, I always hang out by the Heavy Metal Cafe.'' she said.

''I've been there before, I bought this sweater there.'' I looked at my sweater.

''Oh, so that's why it seemed familiar, I knew I've seen that before.'' she laughed.

I laughed, too ''Yeah.'' I looked around ''Why do you study here then? There are many school there.'' I asked Rainbow Dash.

''Well, my parents wanted me to study here because they didn't want me to be such a rebel.'' she gave me another cool smile ''But of course, that never happened, nobody tells me what to do or how to be.'' she said.

''That's the attitude.'' I smiled at her ''Fuck the haters.''

''That's right.'' she bro-fisted me.

I was relieved we were gaining confidence on each other, she already wanted to come by my house, and I already wanted to go to hers. It always happens with this kind of people, if they like your music, they instantly become friends to you, and that's some really cool stuff.

''Where are we going actually?'' I asked her.

''To the library.'' she said smiling.

We found a staircase that led to the second floor of the school, both of us went upstairs.

''What are we going to do there? Read shit?'' I asked.

''No, that's more for Twilight.'' she said.

''Who's Twilight?'' I asked.

''A friend of mine that used to sleep in the library.'' she laughed.

''Why?'' I laughed.

''I don't really know.'' she said.

We finally got upstairs, seconds since we got there Dash's phone suddenly started ringing, the ringtone was actually a Pretty Reckless song, I looked at her with a strange face.

''Weren't you heavy metal?'' I asked.

''A little bit of everything, Axl, I'll explain later.'' she picked up the phone ''God dammit, what now?'' she said and answered.

I looked around and noticed, the second floor of the school was way cooler than the ground floor! There was a shelf in the left hallway with all the trophies the school had won in the past few years.

I walked towards the shelf, there were all kinds of trophies: Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Rugby, Soccer, and much more. I noticed there was a silver trophy, it caught my eye, I don't know why. I read the plate:

''Presented to:

Canterlot High School

In appreciation for the participation of the Wondercolts in the

Soccer League Champions finale in Ponyville.

June 24, 2014''

I remembered what Rainbow Dash said about being the best female soccer player in the school, it was a second place trophy, everyone knows it by just looking at the silver trophy next to a bunch of golden trophies.

''Look, man, I got the money, just...'' Dash sighed ''Don't take me out of the group, I'll give you the money after Chemistry class.'' she hung up.

''What happened?'' I asked her.

''I'm in a fucking group in History class and I didn't do anything, I promised I'd pay money in order to not be taken out, but...'' she looked down.

''You didn't bring the money?'' I said and crossed my arms.

''Exactly.'' she yawned.

''How much did you promise to give?'' I asked Dash.

''20$ bucks.'' she said.

I looked at her with a surprised face ''This people is getting you out of the group because you didn't give them 20$ bucks?'' I asked sarcastically.

''Yes.'' she looked down ''Look, I know it's stupid, but I really need to boost up my grades, I'm doing really bad right now.'' she said looking at me with a worried face.

''Here.'' I took out my wallet.

''Wha...'' she was surprised.

I took 20$ from my wallet, I showed her two 10$ bills, I knew it would make a good use for something, and here it is.

''Take it.'' I smiled at her.

''No, dude, I just met you.'' she laughed nervously.

''I know, and even knowing that I'm still giving you money, take it.'' I waved my hand with the two bills.

''Really?'' she asked, she was shocked.

''Yes, take them.'' I said, straight.

She took the bills and put them inside her pockets, she kept looking at me while she was doing that.

''What?'' I said smiling.

''Why would you help a little shit like me?'' she lifted one eyebrow.

''Because your attitude is fucking awesome, and you like my music so...'' I smiled while looking at her eyes ''I always take care of my brothers and sisters.''

''Dude.'' she smiled ''You are the most amazing person I've met today.'' she laughed.

''Thanks.'' I laughed too.

''What grade are you in?'' she asked.

''Tenth.'' I asnwered.

''Dude, I hope the principal doesn't put you in Section B, because you and I are going to have fun here!'' she grinned.

I felt her joy, I liked it too, she was a really cool girl, and we had a lot in common, both of us liked the same music, I already gained confidence in her, she's one fucking awesome girl!

''You have to give me your phone number, I won't let you walk out of here without you having my phone number.'' she insisted.

''Why not? C'mon, give me your phone! I'll type it.'' I said.

''Here.'' she gave me her phone, it was an Hphone, but I didn't really want to come up with the Pear subject right now. It was locked

''What's your PIN code?'' I asked her.

''8253742.'' she answered as I typed the code.

I started typing my phone in the Phone Dial ''What does it mean?'' I asked her about her PIN code.

''Nothing, it just seems to me like an easy code to remember.'' she laughed.

''That's great.'' I laughed too.

I typed in my phone and added me as a Contact, Dash's phone asked me for the name of my contact, I typed in 'Axl' and a guitar emoji. After I typed in my number I gave her the Hphone.

''Text me in WhatUpp, I'll add you there.'' I told her.

''Got it.'' she started texting me ''Hey, let's go to the library, I gotta show you something.'' she said while texting.

''Let's go then.'' I said.

''Hold on.'' she kept texting.

My phone rang with the typical whistle ringtone Cyborg phones had, I took it out and unlocked it, I swiped down to see the notification bar, and there she was, her profile photo was her with a bunch of friends, I tapped the WhatUpp icon and added her right away.

''Ready, I got your phone...'' I couldn't finish my sentence thanks to Dash's interruption.

''Nice profile photo by the way.'' she said.

My profile photo was me with no shirt taking a photo in the mirror, well... it wasn't actually a mirror, I took the photo with my Dad's car reflection, I smiled.

''You work out?'' she asked me.

''Yup.'' I answered.

''Let me see those biceps, let's see if you're strong enough to beat me in arm wrestling.'' she said with a seductive smile.

''Ok.'' I smiled back.

I rolled my sweater's sleeve right to the top and showed her my right bicep, I've been working out since I started playing drums, I wanted to be hot, and so I am.

''Damn.'' her face made me laugh, she was shocked.

''You like it?'' I smiled.

''The only thing I tell you is.'' she cleared her throat ''Nobody notices your muscles until you show them, either you use tighter shirts, or work out more.'' she told me.

''I prefer the way I am right now.'' I said.

''Well, that's cool.'' she rolled her sleeve right to the top, too ''Look at mine.''

''I think it's an ok bicep for an athletic woman.'' I said.

''Not everyone of us has the golden biceps, you asshole.'' she said sarcastically.

''Well, whatever.'' I said ''Let's go to the library and see who wins in arm wrestling.'' I said.

''Are you challenging me?'' she asked with a smile.

''Yes.'' I smiled back.

''Oh, I love a good challenge.'' she unrolled her sweater's sleeve ''Let's go.''

''Before you go.'' I said as I unrolled my sleeve, too ''What is a Soccer silver trophy doing in the shelf?'' I asked.

''God dammit...'' she closed her eyes ''Look...''

''Weren't you the best one?'' I asked.

''Yes, but look.'' she sighed ''I wasn't so prepared for the finale, Ponyville beat us because I underestimated them.'' she looked down ''Well... we underestimated them, it turned out to be not such an easy challenge.'' she corrected.

''Well, it surprises me to see a silver trophy in the middle of a bunch of golden trophies.'' I lifted an eyebrow.

''Yeah, I know...'' she looked down ''I hate the second place.''

''Why? It's still good.'' I smiled.

''Their the first losers.'' she said ''Look, don't get my mood down, let's go to the library.''

''Whatever you want Dash.'' I said and followed her to the library.

We walked to the library, it turned out to be really close to where we were, I noticed the huge book shelves there were inside thanks to a window next to me. I also noticed that the library had two floors, too. I saw a circular table with some computers.

''Hey, about the Pretty Reckless ringtone.'' said Dash while I stopped looking inside the library ''I'm actually into both styles, you know, not only Metal.'' she said.

''You're not the only one.'' I said.

''You like The Pretty Reckless, too?!'' she looked at me with stars in her eyes.

''No, sorry.'' I said with a smile raising both eyebrows ''I'm into Progressive Rock, Grunge and Hard Rock, too.'' I said.

''Well, most people like grunge, but not progressive rock.'' she looked at me.

''Actually, I like it because that style of music brought me into this world the way I am.'' I looked at her eyes with a smile.

''What was the first band you listened to?'' she asked me.

''Phideaux.'' I said ''I don't think you know them.''

''Well, you got me there.'' she laughed.

I laughed too ''I also listened to Porcupine Tree when I was a kid, but I didn't really start listening to their entire songs until last year.'' I said.

''I absolutely love Porcupine Tree, they're awesome! Too bad they broke up as a band.'' she said raising both eyebrows.

''Yeah, it's sad.'' I said looking at the floor.

I was about to enter the library, but Dash took my arm and threw me on the floor.

''What the fuck, Dash?'' I said.

''Wait a minute.'' she looked on the windows.

Some minutes passed while I was thrown on the floor like a fucking dog, I waited for her to tell what she was looking for, but I just couldn't stand being on the floor.

''What are you looking for?'' I asked her.

''Miss Cheerilee, she's working in the library right now.'' she said ''I don't think we'll be able to come in.'' she looked at me.

''Just say we have to look for something in them computers really quick.'' I gave an idea.

''I don't have a pass to be outside!'' she yelled but shut her mouth right away.

''Then say the teacher didn't have one.'' I insisted.

She gave me a complicated look, after looking once again through the window she gave me an answer.

''Ok, but if something happens, you come with me.'' she told me.

''Whatever, I'm not in the school anyways.'' I said.

''Ok.'' she stood up ''Let's go.'' she gave me her hand and helped me get up.

We entered the library, I noticed the girl Dash mentioned look at us.

''Excuse me, shouldn't you be in class?'' said the library worker.

''We're actually here to print an e-mail my Dad sent me, it's really important, Miss Cheerilee.'' said Rainbow Dash.

''What about your pass?'' asked Cheerilee.

''Um...'' Rainbow Dash looked down.

''The teacher didn't give us one, we just went on our way.'' I said.

''Well, I won't send you down to look for a pass, so...'' she looked at us ''Just print the e-mail, and go back to your class.'' said Cheerilee with a smile on her face.

''Thanks, Miss Cheerilee.'' I thanked her.

''No problem.'' said Cheerilee walking towards a ladder supported on a bookshelf.

''Ok, let me search for the thing we're looking for and print whatever thing there is on the internet.'' said Rainbow Dash sitting on a chair.

''Ok.'' I took a chair and sat next to her.

I noticed the computers were MackBooks, Pear was everywhere, the computer layout is way too complicated for me to handle, I seriously prefer Cyborg phones.

Dash typed in YouPie something called 'Amazing Acrobatics and Useless Parkour by Rainbow Dash', after she typed she clicked the search button and left the computer.

''Watch that while I print 'my father's e-mail'.'' she looked at Cheerilee and winked me.

''Nice dissimulation.'' I said quietly laughing.

''Shut up.'' she hit my arm laughing and went to the next computer.

I looked at the video, it obviously was one of Rainbow Dash's madness and awesomeness videos, the video started kind of funny, it was Rainbow Dash running towards the camera while she was making some really bad parkour, I suppose it was false performance, but it was really funny. Once she reached the camera she started talking:

''Hello YouPie! Rainbow Dash here, and I'm gonna show you some

really cool parkour moves! Come with me!''

The video cut and showed a park, the cameraman moved the camera  to focus on Rainbow Dash, she was on a tree.

''In this lesson we're going to show you how to jump off trees!

Isn't that right, Rainbow Dash 2?''

The cameraman focused on a girl with orange skin and purple hair, she was sitting on the floor with a scooter next to her.

''Yes!'' said the girl with purple hair.

The cameraman focused the camera on Rainbow Dash once again.

''Ok, let's do this!''

Rainbow Dash jumped off the tree but the video cut before she fell on the ground. The next scene showed her on a hospital with her legs plastered and a scratch on her face.

''Ok, that wasn't supposed to happen, but you can still do it!

Rainbow Dash approves!

After that the girl with purple hair walked in the video, but later walked away knowing that they were taping. The video suddenly cut to black and it finished, it was really funny, but I wondered if she actually broke her legs.

''Rainbow Dash, what the fuck?'' I said laughing.

''How many views does it have?'' she said smiling.

''A thousand.'' I answered.

''Yes! I reached a thousand views, baby, give me five.'' she raised her hand and I gave her five, until Cheerilee told us to shut up.

''Did you actually break your legs?'' I asked.

''Yeah.'' she said laughing.

I laughed ''You're so fucking stupid.''

''I know, but failing is the first attempt in learning.'' she said.

''That's weird.'' I said.

''What's weird?'' she looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

''When you told me how you failed in the Soccer League finale you didn't act the same.'' I raised an eyebrow.

''Well...'' she rubbed the back of her head ''I take some things very seriously.'' she smiled.

''I see.'' I said.

I clicked on Rainbow Dash's YouPie channel, there were some other videos of her making acrobatics, and by looking at some thumbnails I saw that these videos were actually serious, not like the one I just saw.

''Fuck.'' said Rainbow Dash.

''What?'' I raised an eyebrow.

''It's 11:30, we gotta hurry.'' said Rainbow Dash while she clicked the Print button on the screen.

The printer started doing its job, print; I noticed it was printing a book page, smart, at least it looked like an actual e-mail if you don't read.

Rainbow Dash took the printed page and looked around to see if Cheerilee was nearby.

''Thanks, Cheerilee!'' said Rainbow Dash waving her hand at her.

''It's no problem, Rainbow Dash! Next time, don't forget to ask for your pass!'' said Cheerilee.

''Sure!'' Dash replied.

''Let's go.'' whispered Dash over my ear.

I followed her outside the library, she told me the whole schedule in the way out. It turned out, her Chemistry class finished at 11:50 a.m., that's why she told me to hurry.

I also asked her about the work she was making, it was actually something from the last year she didn't present, it seemed weird to me that she was presenting a group work a year later after everyone presented it.

At least I knew people had not presented any tests yet, so I didn't have the need to study hard before getting in. She told me about her other friends, they were Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie, they were all best friends from Rainbow Dash. I was surprised to hear so many names, I didn't even have a best friend in my old school, they were all cool, but no one cooler.

And it also surprised me to know I already made a friend in here, and not just 'a friend', a best friend, at least she liked the same bands as me, and that was really, but really fucking cool.

I actually think I have a feeling this school is gonna be really awesome, that is if I stay at Dash's section, either way, I'll make a big mess if I get to stay in the other section anyways.

*** *** ***

The same hallway I was in last time, I was back here with Rainbow Dash. The hallway was actually much more quiet than the last time I was here, it was because Rainbow Dash said that some teachers were outside guarding the hallways while other people were in class.

''It surprises me nobody caught you.'' whispered Rainbow Dash.

''I'm surprised, too.'' I replied.

Rainbow Dash made a signal for me to stay put while she peeked on a corner right in front of us. She walked back right away.

''Shit!'' whispered Rainbow Dash ''We gotta hide, fast!'' she yelled, whispering.

''Over there!'' I replied, whispering; I pointed at the bathroom's doors.

Both of us went inside the girl's bathroom as quick as possible, Rainbow Dash locked the door as soon as we got in quietly. We sat on the floor and stayed there for a while.

''Ok, just 10 more minutes and we'll be fine.'' said Rainbow Dash with heavy breathing.

''Sure.'' I looked down ''Was it a man or a woman?'' I asked her.

''Man, let's hope he doesn't want to pee sitting down.'' she laughed.

I laughed too, but we shut our mouths right away because we were making noise. Rainbow Dash stood up to get her phone out of her pocket, I noticed she was wearing black jeans, just like I was, too, only that her jeans were really tight.

''Tight jean's problems.'' said Rainbow Dash smiling.

''Nice legs.'' I said while I was checking her out.

''Hey.'' she looked at me with a seductive face ''Don't think that only because we like each other's music means we're gonna fuck.'' she gave me a cool smile.

''I didn't say that, I was just checking you out.'' I gave her a seductive look.

She looked at me for a while, and then sat down.

''Too bad I wasn't seductive when you showed your arms.'' said Dash.

''We're both athletic anyways, don't worry.'' I said.

Suddenly, the bell rang, I looked at Rainbow Dash's clock on her phone's screen, it was 11:45 a.m.

''Damn! I guess the teacher let them out early today.'' said Rainbow Dash standing up ''Get up.'' she gave me her hand and helped me get up.

Rainbow Dash unlocked the bathroom's door and peeked on it, she gave me a signal to come out, so I guess no one was watching. We went out and she waved her hand at me.

''I gotta go, there's a problem for me to solve.'' said Rainbow Dash waving her hand at me.

''See you later then, Dash.'' I gave her a high five and a bro-fist.

''Text me when you know in what section you are.'' said Dash turning her head to me as she walked away.

''Sure thing.'' I told her as I lost the sight of that Rainbow-Colored hair inside the huge amount of people walking in the hallways.

Now I had to deal with the huge amount of people walking in the hallways in order to get to the Principal's Office, that was my only goal for now. It was really hard though, not easy to get through the stampede.

*** *** ***

There it was, the Principal's Office door, right in front of me, it was my turn to come in and let the Principal meet me. I was pretty sure my Dad was still there, he had not sent a single message since I started walking through the school with Rainbow Dash.

I looked at the door for a while, it reminded me of the Principal's Office from my old school, my old Principal was a fucking bitch, that's all I could say. Some friends of mine who studied here say she's hot, but they also say that the Vice-Principal is way hotter than her. They're sisters actually, according to my band's bassist, Alexander, he says both of them are sisters.

I came inside the office, and I was surprised, and also relieved to see my Dad taking a coffee with both, the Principal and Vice-Principal!

''Hey! Axl!'' said Dad ''Where were you?'' he raised an eyebrow with a smile on his eyes.

''Taking a tour through the school.'' I smiled.

''With who?'' asked the Principal, I knew it was her because of the description people gave me of her.

''Me.'' I laughed.

Everyone laughed, I did, too. The Principal was actually a little hot, but not so... fuckable, if you know what I mean.

''Did you like the school, son?'' asked Dad.

''It's really big and cool, I actually loved it!'' I smiled.

''Did you check out the library?'' asked the Vice-Principal.

''I had some trouble with some sort of pass, but they let me in anyways.'' I replied.

''Yeah, that's what I expected.'' said the Vice-Principal writing down something on a paper.

''Well, I'm glad you like it, son, because you're now a member of the Wondercolts!'' said Dad giving me some plastic ears and a fake tail.

''What is that?'' I asked raising an eyebrow.

''It's our the Wondercolt outfit from the school, very simple, right?'' the Principal raised an eyebrow with a smile on her face.

''Yeah, I guess.'' I took the 'outfit'.

I kind of heard Rainbow Dash's voice telling me:

''Section A, Section A, Section A, Section A...''

''What about the section? What section am I in?'' I asked the Principal.

The Principal searched something on the computer and put her glasses on, that reminded me, I didn't use my glasses all day long. But anyways, going back to the subject; she put her glasses on and searched some sort of file. She looked at me with her glasses on for a while, her look was kind of intimidating.

''Section A.'' said the Principal ''Why do you ask?''

''So I know where I am.'' I raised an eyebrow.

''You enter classes next week, by the way.'' said the Vice-Principal.

''Ok.'' I said.

''Take a sit, we're gonna be here for a little more.'' said Dad moving a chair so I could sit.

I sat down and we started talking, it was actually really fun, we made some jokes and the Principals laughed, at least I knew it was a good start, and that I had a week of vacations, too!

I have to give Rainbow Dash the good news...

*** *** ***

The day had been awesome, I met a fucking metal girl that likes the same bands as me, I got in her same section, I'm in a new school, I had one week of classes left, it was an awesome start!

I was answering all of my friend's messages in WhatUpp.

Isabella: ''Susy says she misses you :(''

I replied her with a smile on my face.

Me: ''Tell her I miss everyone, and especially her.''

The day had been really great, it was a nice start, I knew it from the beginning. I'm entering the school next Wednesday, the same day as today. Rainbow Dash says that on Wednesdays, Granny Smith makes some really awesome Apple Pies, they only cost 15$ bucks, it was very cheap.

I noticed Isabella sent a voice note, its duration was about one minute and a half, it said something like:

''Hey, Axl! It's Susy, just wanted to say your presence has been really noticed around the school, some people don't laugh anymore, and we all miss you!'' she paused ''I just wanted to send you greetings from Ponyville here with Isabella, say something, please...'' she whispered to Isabella.

Isabella laughed ''We all miss you Axl, even though we didn't talk much, your absence was really shocking in the class, some teachers were surprised by your departure.'' said Isabella ''I hope you'll be visiting soon.''

''Anyways, I made a collage of us together since the past few years, I'll send it to you when I can.'' said Susy.

Isabella screamed at the microphone, I guess she did that because I always finished my voice notes with a bad-made scream, some people laughed at it, some were startled because they didn't know the scream was coming.

I got Susy's collage photo right away, it was, well... a collage, there were old photos of us together, some other friends were in the collage, too, it made me sad just to know that they were so far away now. Canterlot has always been far away from Ponyville, sometimes we made school traveling and we came to Canterlot for more than one time.

Now I was living here, and Susy was far away, but I could stand it, I think, at least I already made a friend here anyways. There are still many things to look forward to.

I texted Rainbow Dash about the section I got in. I was sleepy, it had been a really busy day, but talking to her in messages was still fun. She recommended me some bands, and I recommended her some, too.

She sent me some pictures of awesome concerts she attended to, I told her some fun stories and we laughed... through texts, but we still laughed. I forgot to make fun of her Hphone, but I decided to forget about it, it was useless.

She asked me when we could meet once again in the Heavy Metal Cafe or at my house, I told her it could be at any day in the next week, there was actually nothing to do, other than sleeping and more useless activities.

She said she would come to my house this Friday, I accepted and we made a deal of what albums we would borrow from each other. I gave her all my KoRn albums for a Porcupine Tree Limited Edition Deluxe DVD.

And well, when I less expected it, the day finished, it was 12:33 a.m. and I was still laying on my bed talking to Rainbow Dash. I told her I was really sleepy, and she understood.

After that I fell in a deep sleep, some kind of sleep I'll never feel again in the future...

Rain...

The Rain is Coming...
