Canterlot High

Monday, December 30, 2014

The rest of the weekend is fairly normal. Nothing worth talking about, anyway.

Also, we have school again today. Even though we’ll just be off again for New Years.

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHH!!!

Today, I’m going to have to face Button. I don’t think I can do it.

Sure, Tiara forgave me AND promised to change her ways. What’ll Button do?

Also, at lunch today, I have to help Tiara find a boyfriend, which we all know WON’T BE EASY.

I run downstairs and trip over a cat. It's a cute cat; it's all black except for a crescent shaped bald spot on it's head. It hisses at me and runs upstairs. Did one of the girls adopt a cat? I shrug and eat a quick breakfast, then head to the school.

Monday, December 30, 2014/ Lunch

Today, Tiara is waiting outside the cafeteria for me.

“Alright!” I say, clapping my hands together. “Let’s do this!”

I take a good look at all the boys in the cafeteria - the only ones that are really good looking are a boy with gray skin, black hair, and purple eyes, and one blue haired boy with a guitar. He looks a bit older than us, though…

“Hey,” I say, pointing to the gray boy. “He’s sorta cute.”

Tiara snorts. “Yeah…that’s Rumble.”

My eyes bug out. “Woah…how did Scootaloo get a guy like that?”

Tiara shrugs. “I've thought about it for over a year. There’s just no logical explanation.”

I tap my chin. “Hm…how ‘bout that hot blue haired boy? Y’know, the one with the guitar.”

Tiara grabs me by my shoulders and shakes me violently, before letting go after ten minutes. “ARE YOU INSANE?!”

I grab a pillar to steady myself. “I must be…”

Tiara glares at the boy, who, I now notice, is sitting with a girl who has red-orange hair and an awesome leather jacket…crap…

Tiara hisses. “The boy is Flash Sentry. He’s been dating that girl, Sunset Shimmer, for the longest time. Everybody’s saying that he’s too afraid to break up with her.”

I steal a glance towards their table. “Why is he afraid, exactly?”

Tiara facepalms. “Oh my god, Belle… you are SOOO slow. Sunset basically RUNS this school. She does what she wants. She controls what she wants. And if anyone stands in her way…”

Tiara turns away for a minute, then faces me again with a look of fear in her eyes. She says dramatically, “She CRUSHES THEM.”

She looks back at Sunset, then sucks in a breath really quick. “We’ve been spotted! RUN! HIDE!!!”

She takes off out of the cafeteria. I slowly walk to the bathrooms to find her, ignoring all the strange stares I’ve received from my friend.

Monday, December 30, 2014/ After School

I don’t have that much homework tonight, so I decide to kill some time at the mall.

Thankfully, Button didn’t come to class today, so I didn’t have to see him. I spotted him in the halls a couple of times, so I made sure to keep my distance.

I don’t know if I can hold out for much longer, though, because it feels like I’m about to explode with fiery guilt.

Today, I mainly just wander around and drown my sorrows with tasty low-fat pastries.

Then I see something interesting. Button is in another jewelry shop called The Crystal Empire. Buying an emerald heart necklace. Oh. Em. JEEZLES!!!

I quickly sneak in and hide behind a rack of jewel-woven clothes, and peek out at him from an amethyst poncho.

“Can I help you?” someone asks, making me jump. I turn, and see a salesperson towering above me. And he’s cute.

“Oh…hey there…hi…” I say nervously, trying to hide my intense blush. He’s got shoulder-length dark blue hair with sky blue streaks, pure white skin, and piercing ice blue eyes. Eyes that know all…

“Are you loitering? I have the authority to kick you out. And I WILL kick you out. Don’t think you can be spared just because you’re a girl…”

I feel tears coming to my eyes, when suddenly, someone yells, “SHINING!!!”

I light pink skinned girl with buttery yellow, pink, and purple hair comes to my rescue.

“Shining, what have I told you about terrorizing the customers?”

He rubs the back of his neck. “Sorry, Cadance…”

She runs a hand through her hair. “Shining, it was one thing when you drove out Sombra from buying my store, but it’s another thing when you start yelling at teenage kids for no reason.”

While those two are arguing, I peek back out to the cashier. Button is gone. Dang it!

I rush out of the store and look around. I barely catch sight of Button’s propeller beanie going into a clothing store. So, naturally, I start to follow him, like I did that one time near Christmas. It’s NOT STALKING.

I sneak into the store and head down the back aisle and start to curve around the front.

Then, out of nowhere, a girl comes running from around the corner, smashing into me, and knocking both myself and the clothing rack over.

And to add insult to injury, the girl steps on me before leaving.

When I look up, guess who’s right above me? Button!

“Sweetie…?” he asks, tears welling up in his eyes.

My phone starts ringing. I want to get it, but I’m in too much pain…

“Hey there, Button…! This may sound weird, but…would you mind getting my phone for me?”

He starts blushing insanely as he reaches into my back pocket for the blaring demon seed.

He grabs it quickly, answers it, and puts it on speaker phone.

“It says it’s a call from Silver Spoon.” he gives a confused look.

Why would she be calling me? Wait, why do I even have her phone number? Whatever.

“Hello? Hello, Sweetie Belle, is that you?” Celestia asks, which confuses me.

“Celestia? Why are you calling on Silver’s phone? What happened?”

No response for a good two minutes. “Sweetie, you should get home quick. The dorm…it’s just been robbed.”
