Chapter Three: Day Three

Chapter Three

New Friends

Day 3

For once in several years, I finally got a full nights rest. I don’t know how that happened, but I was glad that it did. I slowly sat up and yawned, stretching my limbs. After I sat there for a few seconds I slowly got out of bed and headed for my bathroom. I went in and stripped, I stepped into the shower and started the water.

I got out of the shower after washing myself and put on my clothes for the day. I left my house, and headed to the school. After walking for about ten minutes I reached the school. I walked up the steps, and opened the door. I walked in and made my way to Celestia's office. I knocked on Celestia's door, and heard her voice from behind it.

"Come on in." She said. I opened the door and walked inside, shutting it behind me.

"Jacob!" She said happily. "It is nice to see you, how can I help you today?"

"I just wanna know where I should go in the mornings before first period." I told her.

"There is a room assigned to you that you go to in the mornings called homeroom. Yours is room 205." She informed me.

"Alright, thank you, Principal Celestia." I said as I left her office. I walked down the hall, making my way to the room she gave me. I passed room after room, eventually I got to room 205 and walked in. I noticed there was a name on the board as I approached the teacher and tapped her arm. She turned around to look at me, she had silvery hair, and looked very cheerful.

"Miss Cheerilee, I'm in your homeroom. Do you have a seat for me?" I asked.

"Yes, I do, right over here." She pointed to an empty seat in the back left corner of the room. I walked over to my seat and sat down. I put my bookbag next to my chair and looked around the room. Sitting next to me, directly to my left was none other than the rainbow haired girl who had been mad at me for bumping her. To my right, was a girl with purple hair and a pink streak through it. She had kind of pale skin, while the rainbow haired girl had a bit of a tan. I stared down at the table in front of me, hoping the rainbow haired girl wouldn't notice me. The bell rang and everyone stood up, and started leaving. I grabbed my bookbag and went to my first class.

I walked in and sat down at my normal seat. Fluttershy sat down next to me, and smiled at me.

"Um...hello..." She said shyly. I smiled back at her.

"Hi, how are you?" I asked kindly.

"I'm fine..." She said, still smiling. The teacher interrupted our conversation when he told the class to start working on the warm-up problems. The rest of class was the normal lectures from the teacher and writing notes and math problems. I went through all my classes like I normally do, apart from basic interruptions, like students knocking on the door, or the teacher getting a phone call, until Fifth period. We were dismissed to go to lunch, I walked down the hall with all the other students who were dismissed. I waited in line to get my food, eventually reaching the lunch-ladies. I got my tray of food and left the line, I sat down at an empty table and began to eat my hamburger.

As I ate I noticed Fluttershy approaching me. She sat down in the seat next to me with a salad on her tray. I smiled and greeted her, and noticed another girl I recognized sitting down with us. She was in the seat on the other side of Fluttershy.

"Rainbow Dash! I'd like you to meet my new friend Jacob." She said to the rainbow haired girl sitting at our table.

"Yeah, I've met this moron before. He bumped into me in the hall." She said, glaring at me.

"Yeah, sorry about that." I said, scratching the back of my head.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." She said, coldly. Two more girls approached the table. One was the other girl from my homeroom. The other I had never seen before. She wore a cowboy hat with her hair in a long ponytail. They both sat down with their trays. Fluttershy greeted them both, and introduced me to them as well. Their names were Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle. I spent most of lunch listening to the girls as they told each other about their days.

The bell eventually rang, dismissing us from lunch. All the girls said their goodbyes to me except for Rainbow Dash, who left without a word. I went on my way to Sixth Period, sitting through that class with the normal note taking and lectures. I went through Seventh period with the similar lecturing and notetaking.

Eighth Period came around, and I stepped into the classroom. I took my seat, and looked around the room. What I saw surprised me. I noticed for the first time that Rainbow Dash is in my Eighth Period. After sitting through an hour of the teacher, class was finally over. I got out of my seat, and grabbed my bookbag. As I was leaving the school I saw Rainbow Dash crossing the soccer field. I saw Kevin making his way over to her and stopping her. I got close enough to them to hear their conversation.

"Hey, it's Miss Flat-chested bitch!" yelled Kevin, trying to get the attention of the other students. I saw Rainbow clenching her fists in anger.

"I bet everything on you is big except what really counts." She retaliated, gritting her teeth. I heard people around them giggle, and laugh. It was clear that she was pissing Kevin off. Suddenly, Kevin raised his fist and tried to punch Rainbow Dash.

“Enough out of you!” He yelled as his fist flew toward her. I decided I had to intervene. I ran over and tackled Kevin, taking him to the ground before his fist could connect with her. I grabbed his wrists and held them on the ground.

"Don't you ever raise your fist at a woman again, or I will personally rip your hands off. Do you understand me?" I said coldly to him, anger swelling inside me.

"Yeah..." He muttered quietly.

"So they can hear you!" I yelled.

"Yes, I understand." He said loudly. I let him go and stood up. I turned to Rainbow Dash, and unexpectedly, she was looking angry. I started to speak, but she cut me off.

"I can handle myself, thank you very much." She yelled before she stormed off toward her soccer practice. I noticed Applejack approaching me, with an amused look on her face.

"Even though she'll never admit it, she is grateful. Thanks a lot, Kev." She said.

"Of course." I replied. I left the soccer field and took my ten minute walk home. I spent that ten minute walk thinking about the four new friends I’d made today. I, for the first time in a long time, had people I could call friends. I entered my home and flopped down on the couch, feeling beat. I looked at the clock, it was 2:45 PM. I decided I had time for a nap, so I layed my head down on the couch, and let myself drift off into sleep. When I had awoken the clock read 6:15 PM. I slept for a while. Even though I still felt tired, I got up and changed into my gym clothes and headed out of the house. I walked down the sidewalk, making my way to the local gym. I stepped inside and made my way to the desk. Celestia had already set up a membership at my request. As I left the desk, having talked to the woman behind it, I looked at the clock, it was 6:30 PM now.

I made my way further into the gym and to the workout area. I sat down on a bench press, and as I was adjusting the weight, noticed something that caught me off guard. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were walking into the workout area. Applejack noticed me, and nudged Rainbow Dash, pointing me out to her. Rainbow rolled her eyes as the two made their way toward me.

“Hiya, Kev! Didn’t expect to see you here!” exclaimed Applejack with a smile on her face. Rainbow stood next to her, seeming uninterested.

“It’s nice to see the two of you.” I said with a smile. Rainbow took a look at the weight I had on the bench press, and had a smirk on her face.

“Trying to push yourself, huh, Kevin? You can’t lift that!” She said mockingly.

“Are you kidding me? I lift 230 normally.” I said casually. Her face told me she didn't believe me, so I laid back and started lifting.

"One...two...three...four..." I counted each lift until I'd finished the set at ten. After I'd finished, I sat up and looked at the two girls. Rainbow Dash was grinning, and Applejack slapped her hand on my back.

"Great job, Kev!" She exclaimed happily. Rainbow chuckled with her arms crossed.

"Yeah, good job, dude." Rainbow said, still grinning. I smiled and got up from the bench press. Rainbow and Applejack walked away and started using the other machines, one of them spotting the other. I began to use different machines as well. I walked into a small side room with a kick-bag and punching bag in it. I stepped up to the punching bag and lifted my fists in a fighting position. I punched the bag softly at first, gradually getting harder with each punch. After the sixth punch, I began to feel angry. I punched the bag hard, and it flew backward, dangling on the chain violently. I punched the bag harder, and harder, eventually I lost control, I just started to savagely beat on the bag. I turned around and kicked over the kick-bag. I started beating it relentlessly, I heard the muffled voices of Rainbow and Applejack, and felt them pulling me backward. I leaned down, putting my hands on my knees, and breathing heavily. After I'd caught my breath I looked up at Dash and Applejack who looked concerned.

"What the hell was that!?" yelled Rainbow Dash. "Why did you beat that punching bag like that!?"

"I...I just...lost control..." I struggled to get the words out as I stared blankly at the two girls. I felt so weird, my mouth was dry, I had a slight ringing in my ears. It wasn't easy to hear what the two of them were saying. Applejack put her hand on my shoulder.

"Is there something you need to tell us, Kev?" She asked, looking very concerned.

"I-It's a long story..." I said quietly, looking away. “Just...Just forget about it, okay?” I left the workout area with my head down, feeling ashamed that I’d let myself get out of control like that. I walked out of the gym and sat down on a bench near the door. I leaned my head on my hands and closed my eyes. I had a terrible headache. I took a long shaky breath, and stood up. I began walking down the sidewalk, and made my way home. I walked for a while, not really paying attention to time. I finally got back to my home, and opened the door. I stepped inside, and looked at the clock, it was 8:00 PM now. I went into the bathroom and got undressed, I got into the shower and turned on the water. I leaned against the wall as I let the water hit me, it relaxed me.

“I can’t let myself get out of control like that...what if the next time that happens, I don’t beat up a punching bag…” I said to myself as the water hit my back. After I washed myself, I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. I found some shorts and put them on. I went to my bed and laid down, closing my eyes after a very exhausting day. I let the pull of sleep take me, and drifted into my dreams.
