Chapters Green Shires High
Green Shires, one of the best cities in the state.
My name is Emerald Shine. I am 16 years old. Light green hair, with a horn sticking out the top. I am pretty big, so I usually tower over everyone around. I could even be classified as a giant. So, what is the problem? I am the shyest, most anti-social person ever. In my entire life, I probably have made around four friends. I find it difficult understanding social behavior, and I am extremely worried about how people will react to me. I can be nice, kind, even funny to be around, yet barely anyone knows that part of me. I slouch, mostly to hide myself from other people. I am usually away from everybody, mostly by myself, thinking about everything there is to think about.
About a week after we were transferred here, I started going to Green Shires High. It was nice. Close to my home and, from what I had heard, had a good education system. Today was my first day, I was pretty excited, yet nervous. “What if my class mates don’t like me? What if they bully me or make fun of me? What if-”. I started thinking to myself, before stopping myself. “My class mates are going to be fine, everything is going to be ok ” I looked up, being in front of the front doors, breathed deeply and stepped in.
After stepping inside, the first thing that I noticed was the huge sign above the building. It was bright red, with orange letters saying Green Shires High School. It seemed amazing, made even better by the shining of the sun on top of it. From the outside, it seemed a bit cramped, yet from the inside, it was massive. It was two, maybe even three stories high. Blue lockers filled the entire hallway, each decorated their own way. Most likely each student gets complete control over their lockers, even on how to design them. I was early, as always. I like being early, gives me a chance to, I don’t know, connect with the environment around me. No time for that today, though. I needed to find Headmistress Celestia first. I started walking to her office, thinking. “This school is amazing, I am glad tha -”
“Hello There!” -Said a high pitch voiced.
That made me stumble back, as I was lost in thought.
“You must be new here! Welcome to our school! My name is Pinkamena Daine Pie, but most people just call me Pinkie Pie.” – Pinkie said, joyfully.
I continued walking to the headmistress’ office. Looking around, I saw the lockers. Each one of them was made in their own unique way, none were the same.
Taking a deep breath, I knocked, 4 times exact, like I always did.
Getting out of her office, still astonished at the mere thought of the door. I started walking to the class room, a bit more rushed this time. Along the way, I looked around a bit. More people were here, the entire school almost filled. I looked down once more and kept on walking, before accidentally bumping into another person.Maybe they’re cutting class ” I thought to myself.

“First class wasn’t so bad. Relatively easy things. ” I thought to myself after the bell rang. Something new in this school was that students were in groups, around 40 students a group, which had the same exact classes. Where I was from, everyone could pick at what time to have their class, but here they were chosen on amount of groups. The thing I noticed the most out of my group, 3-F, was the huge Male-To-Female ratio. There seemed to be around 10 guys, while most other students were female. Not complaining, of course.
While walking to the next class, I noticed two human-like shapes in the distance. On seemed like a walking wall, towering over the other, which appeared to be female. Not too long after I saw them, I was standing face-to-face with them.Oh no, this can’t be good !” – I thought to myself, almost shivering of fright.

New Friends
“Mr. Shine, is it true that you and Mr. Biceps had fight before first period?” – Headmistress Celestia asked, with an angry, disappointed face.
A couple of minutes of walking later, we finally reached the office.“Bulk taking responsibilities for his actions”? Had he been there before? Was there a more to Celestia’s and Bulk’s relationship than it seemed?" I shook my head. “It’s not my concern...”
Heading for the classroom,I start thinking about the class.“Magic class, huh? It’s alright. I’ve always liked magic class, though I wasn’t very good at it. I wasn’t bad at it, I just learned a little slower than most students. It was a simple class. Unicorns learn to manipulate lesser magic spells, like levitation, simple transformation enchantments, that sort of stuff. Well, that was where we were at my old school. Pegasus learned to manipulate the air around them with their wings, allowing them to fly. Earth people manipulated their internal bodies, allowing them to gain strength, become faster, even heal from injuries."
“Very well students, does everyone have a partner?” – Ms. Equilibrium said, looking around. “it seems everyone does. Now today’s lesson will be different for each type of people here. Unicorns go over there” – She pointed to a plain filled with random objects.
I’ve never been good at transforming objects. I always found the idea of changing the properties of an item to another was confusing, and I never got the hang of it. I could do small things, but that was about it.“Alright, this isn’t hard. You’ve studied about this, and you just got a first hand demonstration, shouldn’t be a problem” I thought, before closing my eyes.
After we were all back inside and graded, the bell rung. After looking at my schedule, I saw that we had a 30 minute break. Getting my stuff packed into my backpack, I start going outside, waiting for everyone else. I always seemed to do this. I always waited for everyone to get out of the door, even though I as usually the first one to get to it. I guess I just didn’t want to bother anyone on the way out, and such I waited to be the last one to leave.
Getting outside, I saw groups everywhere, as most people seemed to meet with their friends only, but most were inside. I went straight to the garden, which was near the room I had just got out. What I noticed instantly after walking in was how amazing it was. There were big oaks everywhere, Flourishing with life. Everywhere, there were flowers, thriving all around the place. It all was so green, almost like an actual forest, it was astounding to look at. After walking a bit inside the garden, I sat down near a big tree and got out a book to read, Pendragon, The Reality Bug . One of the things I loved most was reading, diving into the book and going on an adventure. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world, and doing it besides such a breathtaking view of this garden was even better.“Fluttershy? What a nice name, to a nice girl. Now, back to my book-“ I thought, looking around. “Wait, where’s my book? I swore I just saw it here not a minute ago”
Meeting The Group
Racing another person was no problem, but I’d never raced against a Pegasus before. They were insanely fast. I could barely keep Fluttershy in my sight whilst I ran. It was an exhausting experience.
Eventually, I saw her stop near some other girls, some which I already knew. I made out Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight with Fluttershy, but there were still two other girls with them I didn't know about, and a small, teenage boy.
As soon as they saw me running towards them, they all started looking at me.My first actual social event with more than one person. It was in a restaurant, so there will be bound to be more people. Money wasn’t a problem, I rarely use more than 30% of the money I get, the rest I save up, so no problem there. What if I make a fool out of myself? I’d instantly become a laughing stock. Maybe I should just-“ – I thought, before getting interrupted.“Canterlot!”
