CMS: The Middle School Chronicles

"Pinkamena Diane Pie! Get up this instant!"

  Well there's no need to tell me that! I was up before sunrise! I just couldn't wait for the first day of middle school! I pretended I was still asleep just to prank my mom. Pranks are fun and I looooooooove fun!!!

"MOOOM! I'm so tired! I don't wanna get up!" I giggled under my breath so she wouldn't hear,"It's only 7 in the morning!"

"Pinkamena!" Mom burst into my room, "Don't tell me you thought I didn't know you were up at 5:30 laughing like a turkey!"

  Oopsy daisy! I guess Mom heard me. I was being pretty loud after all. I can't believe I forgot I'm usually as loud as 37 talking ponies trotting on breaking glass in the morning.

"Oops,"I giggled again"Ok I'll go get ready."

  My alarm went off.

"Urgh! Shut up stupid clock!"

  In the bed beside mine, my dad groaned,"Rainbow, your clock's right. You have to get up or you'll be late for your first day of middle school."

"I never signed up to get out of bed early. Plus, I liked this clock where it was, down in the basement."

  Dad really wanted me do to well in school. Or at least ok in school.

"There's a track and field team there, Dash. Canterlot Middle School is one of the best athletic schools around." Dad tried.

  A track and field team? Count me in!

  I woke up to the smell of pancakes. My favorite ones: Blueberry. The scent wafted up the stairs into my 10 by 10 metre room. Our maid Minuette was probably up early preparing this meal for my first day of middle school. Truth be told, I wasn't that excited. Since Daddy get job promotions a lot, I switch schools almost every year. However, today was MIDDLE SCHOOL. Much higher ranked than little old elementary school. I just HAD to find the perfect outfit for this occasion. Then I remembered that yesterday I had already decided on a white dress with purple flats. The school had a dumb 'no heels' policy otherwise I would've worn the gorgeous red heels that I'd bought yesterday. I changed out of my silk pyjamas and into the dress. After curling my hair just so, I went downstairs for some delicious pancakes topped with maple syrup. The perfect way to start a perfect year!

  Tap. Tap tap. Tap. Tap tap tap. TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP!!!

"Huh? Angel?"

  I looked up to see my pet bunny rabbit Angel tapping his foot impatiently on my chest. He pointed towards my alarm clock. At first, all I could see was a blur, but after my eyes adjusted, it read 7:15. CMS starts at 8!

"Oh dear! I'm going to be late for my first day of middle school! Thank you so much Angel, for waking me up." I told my bunny.

  I hurried to get dressed, choosing a comfy yellow sweater-dress to wear that fall morning. After dressing, I brushed my teeth and hurried downstairs. I greeted my aunt as she poured me some milk in a bowl of cereal. I hurriedly wolfed down my cereal and rushed out the door into the forest path that led to school.

"Applejack dear! Time fer school!" Granny called from the barn cradling little Apple Bloom in her arms.

  I glanced over from loading bales of hay onto my brother, Big Macintosh's truck. I wasn't even done loading half the ones I was supposed to have done. Probably cause I woke up late this morning. I didn't get enough sleep last night cause I was busy thinkin' 'bout how different middle school's gonna be from elementary.

"But Granny, ah didn't even get mah chores done!" I protested.

"Y'all can get yer chores done after school! Ya don't wanna be late on yer first day!"

  Granny had a point. She always did. So I scrambled into the barn to get my bag then hopped into Big Mac's truck.

"Ready ta go?" I asked.

"Eeyup."
