This Isn't the End, It's Not Over

The Next Day.

You're back at school, and it's now Friday. You sat in your first period class, in your desk, arms crossed, sitting back. From the corner of your eye, you can see Sunset Shimmer look at you. Is she okay? You don't wanna know. All you care about is doing nothing. Or maybe run away and never come back. One of those two would be nice.

Man it's hot in here. You take off your jacket, and as you take it off. There's bruises all over your arm, and for some reason, Sunset Shimmer just now noticed the scar across your face. Her face goes into shock.

"Hey," She said coming to you.

"Hey." You said in a quiet voice, not facing her.

"What happened to you?"

"I uh... I fell down the stairs last night. I slipped on something and I didn't see it. So yeah."

"And the cut across your face?"

"A tree branch cut me last night while me and a friend was waring with bee-bee guns." You said still not looking at her. But... your eyes slowly meets hers. She's really pretty, and she also notices the sad look on your face. Does she know you're lying?

The day went by, as Sunset and her friends sit at lunch.

"What?" Pinkie said as she took a bite of her sandwich.

"He's got bruises all over his arm, and he has a big cut across his face. It's really bad."

"Damn, what has that boy went into?" Said Rainbow Dash as she took a bite of her sandwich.

"Hey, let go of me!" You yelled as Sunset and the others looked at where that sound came from.

"Look, all I need is this. That's it." He said as Jake took your lunch away from you. "Thanks for that." He said as he punched you across the face, making you fall to the floor. "I'm gonna be nice today and leave it at that. Later dick head!" He said as he and his friends walk off. Everyone just laughed at you as they saw what happened.

You ran out of the lunchroom as you feel something draining from your cheek. You take a hand and... oh, you're bleeding. And it's the same spot where your dad hit you with his laptop last night. You went outside and you sat against the brick wall of the school.

You hear a door being open from beside you, it's probably one of those guys again.

"Hey," A soft voice said. It sounds like a girls voice. You sit your head up and look at... Hey, it's that girl from first period. "You okay?"

"Yeah." You said as you wiped a tear from your eyes. "What do you want?"

"To help you." She said as she grabbed your arm and lifted you off the ground. "Come with me." You follow her to... where ever she's taking you. You're scared that it's something to do with... you know.

                                                                                                                * * * * * *

The nurses office? What? She starts to rub some lotion on your scared face. You... can't believe she's actually helping you.

"Better?" She asked with that smile on her face. You just blushed a little and you just nod your head.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because, I can't stand to see you like this." She said wiped your face with a paper towel. "I see you all the time getting picked on, why don't you fight back?"

"Cause I was never taught how to." You said as start to cry.

"Those bruises you have, where are they really from?" You didn't say anything, you just sat there when a tear begins to run down your cheek. "Hey, look at me." She said as she brings a finger to your chin and makes you face her. She gives you a warm smile. "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." By the look on her face, she's really not joking. She really wont hurt you.

You take a deep breath to calm your nerves. "I-" You were interrupted by the bell. Guess lunch is over.

"I guess we should get to class."

"Good point."

"By the way, my names, Sunset Shimmer." You introduce yourself as you and her walk to your next class. Have you made a friend? You hope so.

The day went on. It was... a pretty good day. Some one finally helped you out today, and she was... really nice. You got to talk to her more, but you didn't talk to her about the problem you're having at home. You weren't comfortable with that. She understand. You also talked to her friends, they seemed pretty nice too. There's like five of them, plus Sunset Shimmer. You remember a story (before you came to Canterlot High) that a girl came here from another world. They say she was named Twilight Sparkle. You didn't know if you should believe it or not.

Sooner enough when you got to hang with them some more. You got to know them better, and now it looks like you're starting to become really good friends with them. But Sunset Shimmer, you blush every time she brings you in for a hug. Are you in love?
