The New Kid

Nurse Redheart had patched up my eye pretty well. Whatever she gave me started reducing the swelling immediately. I could open my other eye now!

I thanked her and walked out of the office.

'Well next objective would be to find my first class' I thought as I reached into my pocket for my schedule, only to find it empty. I checked the rest of my pockets hoping I had put it in a different pocket.... no dice.

"Uggggghhhh" I groaned. "Course I can't have a good day... screw you universe"

After a quick facepalm, I walked to where I remembered the principals office was. I had gone to something of an open house before I officially started my school year, from the bits I could pull from my memories (which wasn't much) the office was.... this way.

I started walking down the hallway, hoping I was heading the right direction. As I continued my walk I took notice of the other students. They looked like a normal bunch of highschoolers, except for the fact they weren't staring at me. Most schools I'd been to had been a nightmare to walk through. Everyone would stare at me, judging me. It was creepy, and pretty stressful too. But... these guys were just going about their day, ignoring me as I walked through the halls.

I smiled.... maybe.... maybe I could get used to this place.

"Ah storm, there you are" A voice said from behind. I looked around and saw a tall, blue woman that I remembered to be the sister of the principal. "I have been looking for you, come, my sister wishes to speak to you"

I nodded and followed her. She led me in the opposite direction that I was wandering in. It took a few minutes, but we finally reached a door that said "MAIN OFFICE" on the top of it.

"Just go in there, first door on the right past the desk" The woman directed.

I simply nodded and walked the route she told me to. The main office was nothing special, just a desk up front and a hallway behind it. I walked past the desk, and into the hallway. I only had to walk a few feet. The first door on the right, or the principals office. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in" A voice said from inside.

I turned the door knob and pushed open the door. Stepping in, I noticed the woman sitting at the desk, which I assumed was Celestia. I looked around the room, it was decorated with shelves and shelves of books, the occasional award display case filled with various awards and ribbons.

"Take a seat please" Celestia motioned to a chair in front of the desk.

I quickly walked to the chair and sat down, standing up straight.... ya know for impressions and stuff.

She looked over me quickly "Storm correct?"

"Uh, yes ma'am" I nodded nervously

she giggled at my nervousness "No need for that, just call me Celestia." She smiled "Now I assume your here for your schedule"

"Yeah... uh how'd you know that?"

She cocked an eyebrow "Well, we never gave you one in the first place. Probably would've been a good idea looking back on it" She shrugged "Nevertheless, here is your schedule" She reached into a file cabinet and after a few seconds of fishing around, she came up with a single piece of paper and handed it to me

-RIII-I-I-III--IIIINNNGGG-

"You better get going young man" She said as I stood up from the chair "Your first class is with Mr. Quill. Math I believe. His room number is 1-1-3-2.

I nodded my thanks and quickly walked out the door. As I exited the main office I looked to my schedule in confusion

'Ugh, she could have told me where these classes are, these numbers aren't really helping..... although I could have paid attention at the open house'

"HIYA!" A loud voice startled me from my thoughts. I jumped and looked around. "Up here silly!" I looked up and sure enough, there was a girl standing up there. She had really poofy pink hair, and pink tinted skin. Her smile was larger than I thought humanly possible... she creeped me out.

"I haven't seen you here around before! OH WAIT! Your that new student! That's so AWESOME! We haven't had a new student in like... forever!"

Wow she's loud "Uh yeah that's me.... um, could you by any chance show me where Mr. Quill's room is?"

Her eyes widened and she took off from the railing. 'well that wasn't much help'. I turned around and was met face to face with the pink girl from before. "AH!" I shouted and jumped back, falling on my back.

She reached her hand down to me "Come on no time for break-dancing! Follow me we gotta get you to class!" She shouted excitedly

I took her hand and she pulled me up. Before I could thank her she bolted off "Come on you're gonna be LAAAAAATE!"

I sighed an shook my head before sprinting off after her. By sprinting I meant SPRINTING, she was frickin' fast! I had to go my fastest just to keep up with her, and my fastest is FAST! She finally seemed to be slowing down as we came up to a door.

"Heeeeerre we are!" She motioned to the door. On the side was a plaque that read Mr. Quill, and under that four letters that formed the most dreaded word in history MATH.

I smiled despite my extreme for the subject. "Thank-"

"SORRYNOTIMETOTALKGOTTAGOSEEYABYE!" She bolted off, leaving behind a comical trail of smoke

"-You" My finger drooped as I lost sight of her. I simply shook my head and walked into class.

Upon entering I saw the class was about to begin. "Ah you must be Mr. Storm" A man who I assumed to be Mr. Quill said from the front of the class. I only nodded "Very well, I wont bother you with a introduction. Please find a seat"

That was something I was not looking forward to. Especially in the middle of the school year like this. It always ended in some awkward situation. I didn't even get a seat last year, I had to stand in the back...

I sighed and scanned the room for a seat. Every seat seemed to be taken, I was starting to fear having to stand again, until I saw a familiar rainbow haired girl in the back waving to me. I waved back to her and smiled. She returned the smile and motioned to an open seat next to hers.

My smile grew, thankful for a seat so easily. I walked up the seat and put my stuff-... I didn't have any of my math stuff. I leaned back in my chair and let out a long defeated sigh.

"Whats up dude?" Rainbow asked

I ran my fingers through my hair and turned to her "I forgot all my damn math stuff...."

She smirked at me "Pfft, that's what your worried about? I never bring any of my stuff" She motioned to the area around her "See? nothing"

I raised an eyebrow "Don't you need to like... take notes and stuff?"

She shook her head "Nah, he usually just talks about some random math stuff then hands us homework, and when he does lecture us, which is like never, it's soooo boring." She scoffed "I couldn't listen if I tried"

I shrugged "Well I feel ya, there." I heard the teacher began talking about the plans for the week, and I was immediately bored out of my mind. I slumped in my desk "God, I hate math"

Rainbow just snickered and rested her chin on her fist.

--

The hour went on like I thought it would, long and boring. After his ramblings about geometry or something he started handing out the homework. The homework consisted of about thirty problem solving questions. It was hard, and boring, but nothing I couldn't finish in about twenty minutes. I looked over it, and already knew I'd screwed up on a few questions. I debated going back and fixing it, but my lazy side won out in the end and I just plopped it on my desk.

I looked back over to Rainbow... only to discover her head laying on top of her homework, fast asleep. I looked over her for a second, she looked... pretty cute sleeping actually. I mean it was still ridiculously funny, but cute.

I shook the thoughts out of my head. I had just met the girl, I didn't need a "Love at first sight" type of deal going on already. Looking again back to Rainbow I could barely hold back a snicker as I saw drool falling from her open mouth onto her paper.

I realized I should probably wake her up now, it would be pretty embarrassing if other people started to notice. I gently nudged her side. she mumbled and stirred for a moment, but eventually went back to a peaceful sleep. I rolled my eyes and looked to my fist.... it was the only way.

I gave her a solid punch to the arm, she jerked up after that.

"Huh?" She started blinking and rubbing her eyes before they finally settled on me. "Oh.... I fell asleep didn't I?"

"Yup" I chuckled

She started to raise her arm to punch my side, but she winced and started rubbing it. "Ow.. wha- wait, hey! Did ya really have to punch me to wake me up?" She said with mock anger

"Yuuup" My chucking growing

She rolled her eyes and looked to her drool stained homework. "Ew... I guess you did have to punch me"

I nodded "Yeah, also ya got five minutes to do that" I pointed to the sheet of homework.

She shrugged "Eh, I'll just do it at home" She folded it up and stuffed it in her pocket. "It's called homework for a reason right?"

We both shared a good laugh and continued to wait until the period was over. Once the bell finally rang everyone piled out the door, anxious to get out of the terrible horror that was math. Rainbow made it bearable though, something about her just.... I don't know.

Before I could leave to get the stuff for my next class though, Rainbow invited me to sit at her table at lunch. She said I probably wouldn't find a spot anywhere else, plus she wanted me to meet her friends. Before I could thank her for her offer she ran off saying something about a due date. I just shrugged and went to my locker.

--

My next to hours went by smoothly. My second hour especially, it was chemistry. I was ok with chemistry, I mean it's not my favorite subject but its way better than math. Oh yeah, that pink girl that showed me my math class? Well she was in this class, and I was assigned to be her lab partner. She said her name was Pinkie, and she started rambling on about different things. I couldn't really hear her though, I was still trying to figure out how that many words could be said on one breath. I could tell being her lab partner would be.... interesting to say the least.

Next up was English. English was... English. I just sat next to some random guy and listened to the teacher talk about English stuff. Oh and guess what? The school day was only five hours long! I think I'm gonna like it here...

-RIIIIIIIING-

There was the lunch bell. Good thing to, I was getting hungry. I was also pretty anxious about meeting Rainbow's friends. I'm not anti-social or anything, it just always ended badly for some reason.

As I entered the lunch room I was blasted by the noise of about 200 hungry sophomores. I tried to ignore the noise as I moved to the food trays and got myself some lunch. Nothing special, just a chicken sandwich with some fires on the side. I walked away from the kitchen area, and walked to the seating area.

Not knowing where they sat, I just wandered around looking for the distinctive rainbow hair.

"HEY STORM! OVER HERE!"

I heard Rainbow yell from my left. I looked over to her and  sure enough, she was their with five other girls all waving at me... except for one who kinda looked like she didn't want to be there.

I smiled and walked over to their table, I found one empty seat in-between Rainbow and Pinkie. Pinkie smiled with the power of a thousand suns and patted the seat with her hand.

I moved to the seat and sat down. Around the table were the other five girls. One of whom I had already met, Pinkie. One of the others had pure white skin, and curly styled purple hair, She had fashion written all over her.

Another had orange skin, with three white freckles on each side of her mouth. She had blonde hair placed in a simple style. She also had a stetson on top her head. Cowgirl x1000.

The one that was sitting next to pinkie had yellow skin, her hair was pink and drooped over her face covering one of her eyes. When she caught my glance she let out an adorable "eep" And hid behind her hair.

"Hey girls!" Rainbow spoke up "This is Storm, he's that new kid I was talking about earlier"

The orange, freckled on spoke up next "Yeah I remember 'im. Isn't he the one ya drilled in the head?"

Rainbow smiled sheepishly "Y-yeah, that one"

To my surprise the yellow one spoke up first "Oh... I heard about that" She said in possibly the meekiest, smallest voice ever "Are you ok?... That black eye sure looks bad"

I nodded "Yeah, I'm fine. The swelling stopped. Just gotta deal with the bruise for a few days"

The white one spoke next "You really must be more careful Rainbow, you're lucky he wasn't seriously hurt" She pushed her purple hair out of her face "I have no idea why they put that soccer field right next to the sidewalk. I knew that was a bad idea"

Rainbow put her hands up to her ears "Ugh! Can we please stop talking about that? It's making me feel bad..."

"Yes I suppose that would be best" The white one looked to me "I'm Rarity by the way. Pleasure to meet you"

I smiled and nodded

"And Ah'm Applejack, Nice ta, meet ya sugar"

"I'm.... Fluttershy...." The yellow one said... barely

"And this here's Sunset Shimmer" Applejack pointed to a girl slouching at the back of the table "She ain't talking much."

The girl suddenly stood up. I could make out her appearance now.She had orangish skin. Her hair was red with yellow streaks in it. Oh and she looked pissed. "I'll talk when I want to! Just cause Twilight made you promise to be my friend doesn't mean I have to be your friend! With that she stormed off.

I raised an eyebrow "Whats up with her?"

"Oh you know, her evil scheme to take a magical element from another world and turn into a demon and take over this world failed and she used to like own the school and now she doesn't so she's mad" Pinkie answered quickly and stuffed a cupcake in her face.

I honestly didn't know what to say. The other girls were all glaring at pinkie, who now had a cupcake covered smile on her face.

"That's.... nice" I offered. I don't know what it was but I believed them. It didn't look like Pinkie could really lie anyway/

"Just nice?" Rainbow asked "She just told you what is probably the most shocking thing you have ever heard... and all you say is nice?"

"Yup

"Wow" She shook her head laughing. The rest of the girls soon burst out in laughter as well. I couldn't help myself as I let out the laugh I was holding in.

"You are.. You are truly something Storm" Rarity said, recovering from her laugh. Rarity stopped panting and looked back and forth between me and Rainbow. "You know, you two would make a great couple"

"What?!" We both yelled

"I was only joking!" Rarity laughed

I could feel the heat of the blush on my face. I took a glance at Rainbow, and she too was blushing.

-RIIIINNNNNGGG-

I sighed "Well as much as it pains me ladies, I must go on"

Rarity and Applejack rolled their eyes and moved off to their next classes along with Fluttershy.

"Hey Storm?" Rainbow asked, I looked over to her "What class ya got next?"

I checked my schedule. "Uh... says P.E."

Rainbow smiled "Awesome! Me too, hey follow me I'll lead you there"

I nodded and followed Rainbow as she left the lunch room, and headed towards gym class. As I followed her, I thought back to the lunch table when Rarity made that weird joke. I swore I saw Rainbow blushing...

...It was probably nothing.
