The Crazy Life Of James Sparkle

"James! Wake up! School starts in a few hours!"

You are James Sparkle. You can't remember anything about your family or friends from Earth. You arrived just outside Twilight Sparkles doorstep when you were eight, and by arrived I mean unconscious on the ground, and became her adopted son. You were homeschooled until this year. This is your first day of school, and since you didn't have any real good friends except Pinkie Pie and Spike, Twilight, or as she wants you to call her, 'Mom' wanted you to make some more friends.

"Ugh Mom! It's five A.M.! School doesn't start til eight!"

You were about as tall as most mares in Ponyville, but with your mom being an alicorn, you were up to her nose. Fillies and colts around your age were about just above your knees.

"I am your mother, and I say get up and get ready for school!"

You groaned in frustration. "Fine! I'm getting up!" You climb out of bed and put on my clothes. A simple red tee shirt, some jeans, and socks and shoes. You head to the bathroom to brush your teeth. Your mom had once gave you a highly detailed lecture about how important dental higene was and even brought a dentist, Colgate you think her name was, who had shown you high definition pictures of what could happen if you didn't brush your teeth. It scarred you so bad that you actually vowed to never, ever, EVER go a day without brushing in the morning and at night. And you were doing a pretty good job at keeping to your vow.

Afterwards you ate breakfast, a bowl of cereal, and got your backpack ready. It was really just half of a saddle bag with an extended strap attached to it on both ends so you could hoist the bag over your shoulder.

You spend the next two hours staring out the window on the second floor. Your mom comes up and sits next to you.

"Hey, James? Anything wrong?"

"Nope. Just bored." You say as you hop off the bed and walk downstairs.

"Well, it just seemed as if something was bothering you since you were staring out the window for two hours."

"Hey Mom? Shouldn't we be heading to School by now? It's seven thirty already."

She giggled. "Oh, we can be there right now if you'd like." You are enveloped in a bright flash as you feel the ground change from hardwood flooring to soft grass. You look around and see a large building that you assume to be the School in the distance, along with fillies and colts along with their parents heading towards the building.

"Well, go on! The schoolhouse isn't coming to us!" Your mom nudged you forward. "James? Anything wrong?"

You hate to admit it, but you were scared out of your mind. You started thinking about how the others would react to you, and how they may start making fun of you. You thought about how much you'd stick out and how different you would be from everypony else. Yeah, your mom got the terms 'anypony', 'nopony', 'somepony', and 'everypony' stuck in your head like glue.

You snapped back into reality once your mom yelled your name. "Wha- huh? Oh...oh y-yeah yeah I'll see you later! B-by mom. Love you!" You yell as you make your way towards the schoolyard.

As you pass the gates, you can literally feel everyponies eyes on you. Sure, they have heard of you and may have even seen you a couple times, but they probably wouldn't expect you to be here. You see a purple mare, obviously the teacher, head your way.

"Why hello there!" She says. "My name is Miss Cherilee! You must be James Sparkle. Twilight has told me some things about you. But first, let's get you settled in."

You follow her inside the building next to one of the many empty desks. It was a desk in the third row, and the third desk from the left end. You set down your backpack next to the seat and look around. Only a couple fillies and colts, all of which are staring. At you.

"Is anypony else coming?" You ask nervously.

"Yes, the others are outside. Class starts in a few minutes, so they should be coming inside very soon."

You look around the room for a while until the bell rings, causing you to jump a little. You watch as the room floods with fillies and colts as they hurry to their seats. You squeeze into your seat too, and surprisingly, you can actually fit in it. You watch as a brown colt with a red and yellow beanie sits to your left. His beanie has a green propeller that doesn't seem to stop spinning.

To your right sits a grey fancy looking fillie that is chatting away with a pink fillie that is wearing a tiara. The pink one looks up at you, glaring. Her friend looks too.

Then the pink one scoffs. "Oh look. The hairless monkey is here!" She bursts out laughing, and most of the other students look at you and start laughing as well. You can see three fillies, an orange pegasus with a scruffy purple mane, a soft yellow earth pony with a red mane and giant pink bow, and a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane, all glaring at the two stuck up brats next to you.

"Alright that is enough!" You hear Miss Cherilee's voice yell. Everypony turns and looks at the teacher. "Diamond Tiara, you haven't even met our new student yet, and already you're making fun of him! I am going to have to talk to your parents after school."

"Serves you right" you think to yourself.

"Alright, now would you like to come up in front of the class and introduce yourself?" Miss Cherilee asks you.

You slowly nod while getting up from your desk and make your way to the chalkboard, facing the other students. "I- I'm James Sparkle. Th-this is my first y-year of school, since I was homeschooled. I have been here in Equestria for four years and I don't remember much of m-my old home, except that it wasn't the best. If you didn't know already, I am the o-only human in Eq-Equestria. And um......yeah.....that's about it and....um......I'll just....head back to my seat now......" You say as you make your way back to your seat. You swear you heard a few students giggling, but you can't say you blame them. If something like that happened back on Earth, the other students would probably do the same thing.

"Alright students. Now, first lets talk about...

After a long, boring time of talking about Ponyville history, most of which you knew of since Twi- 'Mom' taught you while you were homeschooled, the bell rang, indicating that it was time to head outside for lunch. You grab a brown bag out of your backpack and head outside along with everypony else.

You saw how all the tables were filled instantly. All except one. One a bit farther away from the others. You went over to sit at that table to eat. Once you sit down, you rummage through the bag. An apple, a bottle of water, pb & j, and that cupcake that Pinkie Pie snuck in for you.

"Thank you Pinkie." You mumble to you yourself as you devour the sweet. After you eat it, you notice something. A vaguely familiar beeping noise...that sounded like.....a....video game! You duck down under the table. Sure enough, there's that same brown colt from before playing on a small device that reads 'JoyBoy' across the top.

You smirk. "Watchya playin?" You say. Almost instantly, the colt yelps and bounces into the air, hitting his head on the table.

"Don't do that!" He says as he looks right into my face.

He gets up from under the table and sits next to me.

"But seriously, what are you playing?" You ask him.

"Equine Kombat. It just came out for the JoyBoy and it is amazing! Oh yeah, my name is Button Mash by way."

He looks straight ahead, his face full of fear. "Oh no. It's them! Don't do anything dumb, trust me! You'll regret it if you do...."

What was he talking ab-......oh no. The pink and grey fillies from before are headed towards our table.

The pink one speaks first. "So, why are you even here? Are you just trying to get me in trouble?"

"Wait, what? I didn't even do anything! You're the one who called me a hairless monkey!"

"Well I wouldn't have if you didn't even come here! And now because of you, I am going to be in big trouble with my parents!"

You shrug. "Not my parents, not my problem." You reach over and pick up your peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Well at least I know my parents!"

That last sentence makes you drop your sandwich. "What did you just say?" You speak through grinding teeth.
