Not Like the Rest (Season One)

         I trotted off to my last class, physical education. Honestly, that and my elective are probably the only two classes everypony knows I'll succeed in because as an old friend of mine said, my zodiac is an Aries, making me a natural athlete. But that isn't anything I need to worry about at the moment. Where was I? Oh yeah, I gotta get ta class!!!

         "Do twenty?! What is this?!!! Boot camp?" Rarity's annoying English accent blabbed.

         "No, this is P.E.!!!!! Keep that up and ya got yourself a detention!" Spitfire beamed. Oh yeah Rarity, you just *gotta** give me the stink eye cause you got told off. Real funny.* I thought while I was doing push-ups.

         "What?!" I whisper-shouted, "It's not my fault you almost got in trouble!"

         "Ugh! Whatever!!!" Rarity whispered back. I rolled my eyes at that pony, drama queen I continued thinking.

         "Now everypony RUN!!!!" Spitfire boomed. Every pony started running, except Rarity. I caught her walking in the corner of my eye, but continued running so I wouldn't get in trouble. I prefer flying over running but in both I always felt that cool rush of air. When I run or fly, everything around me feels like it's in slow motion. Right now, compared to me, my vision would barely count her to be walking. That's how fast I am.

          As usual, the locker room was bustling with activity. This was no surprise to me, since everypony always has the need to talk to their friend, but with me, that's a different story. Although I have an average in popularity hierarchy, I was not the social butterfly. So, once again, I was quietly fixing my eyeliner and pulling my leather vest into place. The bell had rang as everypony rushed out of the locker room, except Rarity. She has a gym locker near me.

        "Are my contacts on?" I heard Rarity whisper.

        "You wear contacts?!" I asked.

        "R-Rainbow Dash?!" She stared at me, her pupils going to the size of pin holes, "What are doing you here? A-Are spying on me?!"

        "No!! I was just finishing packing up!" I insisted.

        "Fine, if I tell you, you better promise to tell absolutely nopony about this. Not even your friends." Rarity whispered.

        "I don't have any friends" I said.

        "Oh yeah, I forgot you're a loner." Rarity quipped. I raised one eyebrow at her. Rarity then started her stupid fake laughing

        "Hehe… sorry. Anyways, yes in fact, I do wear contacts because I'm near-sided." Rarity said.

        "Why don't you tell anypony?" I asked.

        "It's because I think ponies will think of me as a loser, even though I wear the contacts so nopony makes fun of me for needing to wear glasses." Rarity replied sadly.

        "Oh… I had no idea…" I looked at my watch, "Oh shit!!! I gotta go!!! Bye!!!" I yelled, running off and leaving Rarity behind.

        I gave an exhausted yawn as I collapsed on my bed. I had dropped my bags and went over the stupidly dramatic details of the day. Morning, nothing goin' on there, first period, BORING!!!, second, third, and fourth period, same, lunch, that absolutely dramatic food fight I missed, write that down, period five, same old same old, period six, Rarity complaining about push ups, after school, Rarity confesses that she wears contacts, write that down too, and now I'm here. Slightly abnormal day. I sighed and went over too pick up my bag. I opened up my binder and started on my math homework.

        Since I needed someplace to keep myself busy and I was already done with all of my boring homework, I decided to find somewhere that had an air conditioner and a strong wi-fi connection. A restaurant wasn't too necessary and I don't have any friends, I was stuck going to the library, which had AC and wi-fi that suited my needs, but my main problem with libraries is that there's so many books in there. Just the thought of made me want to shiver. I sighed.

    "Let's see how this'll work out." I quietly opened the door. I saw a lot of ponies reading and going on computers. Typical, I thought. I walked over to an area where there was only one pony. I didn't know her cause like I said, I don't have any friends. I went on my phone, not knowing that the other pony was a pony I saw at lunch (but I forgot her name, think she's new to MHS). I pulled the headphones around my neck off and put them on my ears, so I don't disturb any pony while watching PonyTube. Suddenly I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. Huh? I thought, pulling off my headphones and pausing the music I was listening to.

      "Um… over here!" Somepony whispered. I turned around to see a lavender unicorn with purple eyes and a purple and pink mane. I stared in confusion at the mare.

      "Do I know you?" I asked in a whisper voice.

      "Afraid not." The pony replied quietly, "Unless you're that pony I saw in the morning."

      "You remember me?!"

      "I remember things easily."

      "Um… okay…" I whispered

      "So why are you here?" The other mare asked.

      "Was done with my homework and I needed an air conditioned place to keep myself busy in and this was my only option."

      "Oh. I thought you came here because you like reading…"

      "Actually, I ha-… never mind." I whispered, thinking that she might like books and I might hurt her feelings. The mare shyly stared at me. This was getting creepy.

       "Um… were you reading…?" I asked quietly, looking down at the mare's pile of books, "Have you barely started?" The mare shook her head. She made sure she read that entire book and put with the rest.

        "Never mind." I said, ignoring the issue. The mare levitated all sixteen of the books she had been reading and put them back on their desired shelves. The mare trotted back to where I was standing.

       "You want to hang out somewhere? I'm new here." Twilight whispered, "Besides, I'm tired of whispering."

       "Sure." I replied quietly.
