A long time ago, when I was an orphan, life was depressing, boring, boring, and did I forget to say boring? Well then, now that I have found my long lost mom, things are different. Let me tell you about what happened earlier on my first day of school after Summer Break.
I walked into the class, seeing Silver Spoon sitting at her normal desk, Mrs Cheerilee saying hello to the new students, and then, I saw Rumble, my coltfriend, in the corner. But he wasn’t alone.
I walked up to him. “Hi, Rumble.”
“Oh, hey Scoots,” he greeted to me, “I’d like you to meet my new friend, Dusk.” He showed me a colt with light blue fur, silver mane and tail with royal purple and toothpaste blue streaks that was styled in Cloudchaser’s style, and gray eyes.
“‘Sup?” he said.
“Nothing much, you?”
“Same old thing. Changing from a stupid school to one that’s more stupid.”
I shrugged. It’s been a while since I’ve been bullied, but he didn’t bully me. He bullied the whole class.
“I mean seriously,” Dusk continues, “which kind of class is as small as a cottage? And would you look at that? Stupid looking students giving Mrs. Cheerilee apples. And now look at this..what’s her name? Scootaloo? What kind of name is that, anyways? Your colors are way too simple. It’s like i-” He stopped when I put my hoof on his big fat mouth. Suddenly, the class bell rang. We all rushed to pick a seat, me beside Silver, Diamond for somewhat reason beside me, but something was different. Rumble went to sit beside Dusk, talking about stuff and laughing loud.
“That’s quite enough, Dusk and Rumble,” said Mrs. Cheers, what I called her. “Now, good morning class. I’m hoping you had a nice summer.”
Some ponies answered yes, a little, until Rumble answered no.
“What was wrong with it, Rumble?”
“I got a baby sister,” he said. “And now my parents don’t pay much attention to me.”
“Well, little siblings can be fun.”
“But I have to share everything with her!”
“You have to learn to be generous, Rumble.”
“B-b-bu-”
“No buts! Now, as I was saying..”
It was lunch and I was sitting with Silver and Diamond, Honestly, what’s wrong with Diamond? until Rumble and Dusk comes.
“Can we sit here, Scootaloo?” Dusk asked politely.
“Whatever,” I answered.
“Anyways, how was your summer?”
“Excitingly...surprising.”
“What happened?”
“Well, you s- Wait a second! I’m not telling you anything!”
“Too late. Rumble told me.”
I gave Rumble a glare, finished lunch faster than possible, and got out the lunch room.
“Mom, I hate school now,” I said as I walked into the small cottage.
“Why, sweetie?” she asked.
“Because there’s this new colt in my class, discovering all my secrets, making Rumble be mean to me and just...ugh!”
“No worries, honey.”
“There is worrying here! My school reputation will be destroyed!” Not like I had one.
“Okay, okay, hush. Let me tell you a little secret. When colts are mean to you, it means they like you.”
“It does?”
“Yes, sweetie. Maybe this Dusk is being mean because he likes you.”
“But he knows I’m already dating Rumble! No chances for him.”
“If you say so.”
And that’s where I am now.
So, me and my mom are having a walk right now around Ponyvillle.
"Hey, guys!" Rainbow Dash drops in and greets.
"Hey, Dash," I say.
"Oh, hi Rainbow," Fluttershy says with her normal greet.
"Pinks was wondering if you could come to SCC, she has an announcement for all of us."
"Sure," I reply as we three fly off to the Bakery. As we walk in, we're surprised by Pinkie.
"Hiyaguys!Whattookyousolongwe'vebeenwaitingsolongandalsoIgotusallcupcakes!DidyouknowIlovecupcakes?AndIlovecu-" I cover up her mouth with my hoof.
"Second time doing that, today," I grunt.
"Second?" my mom asks.
"Dusk."
"Oh yeah."
"Who's Dusk?" asks Twilight.
"No pony."
"Ooh! Ooh! Scootaloo'scrushing!ButIthoughtshewasdat-" I cover up Pinkie's mouth again.
"Make that third," I roll my eyes. "No, Pinkie, I do not like him. Some stupid pony who insults everything he sees."
"Everything?" asks Rarity.
"Everything."
"That is simply horrid!"
I roll my eyes again. Typical Rarity. "Anyways..About why we're here?"
"Oh yeah!" exclaims Pinkie. "So, I found this creature out in the street doing whatever and I went to say 'Hi' and he popped up some cotton candy for me! We became friends and I wanted to introduce you guys to him. C'mon out, Discord!" Out comes a pony/chimera pretty much as tall as the building.
"Hi," he says in a deep voice. I jump back at the sound. "Don't worry."
Devil, I say in my head.
"Hey!"
"You can read minds?!" I question.
He nods. They all turn to me.
I look out the window to see the sunset. "It's getting late!" I start sweating. "C'mon, Flutters, let's go home!" I tug her out the bakery.
Once we arrive, I go straight to bed. He's the Devil. Fluttershy walks in. "What's wrong?"
"Discord."
"What about him?"
"He looks...evil."
I feel her come hug me. "You gotta learn to accept change, sweetie." As she left, I drifted off to sleep. I heard a slight grunt, Why does life have to be so hard? I squeal, look around, but then realize it was me. A slight tear forms and curls down my cheek. I wipe it off, thinking, Change, Difference. Words I'll always hate.

:o..
I found the idea of Dusk on google, it was a pony OC. I imagined him as a bully influencing Rumble. You'll find the rest after.

Idea from IceQB, thank you.
