Also big thanks to my editor my friend Aaron Powers unfortunately he does not have a user on here but he will be editing my story from this point on. And now to find some cover art great.... this'll take forever. Chapter 1: First Day of school How will it go? First Day of School - How will it go? Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off at 6:45am on a typical Monday. A kid named Rapid Shadow got up. His flame orange hair, which contrasted with his midnight blue skin, was already out of place, like it normally was when he got out of bed. Rapid Shadow got out of his bed and reluctantly went to shower. It took him 15 minutes to get in and out of it. His parents called him from downstairs. “Rapid Shadow get down here you’re going to be late for school!” Cinnamon Shadow called. “I’m coming! Give me a second will you?” Rapid responded. “Son You do not talk to your mother like that you get down here right now!” His father yelled. As soon as he heard his father, Rapid hurried and got dressed. He hastily brushed his teeth, and quickly got dressed, despite how he didn’t like the crystal prep uniform that he was forced to put on after all of it he raced downstairs. “That’s more like it. You should know not to backtalk your mother like that... Here, you’re going to need money to get something to eat at Crystal Prep be sure you behave yourself at school otherwise you’ll wish you behaved.” “Alright, Dad. I’ll see you both later I gotta run if I want to make it to school in time! Bye!” Rapid Shadow said quickly, rushing out the door. “Always in a rush... I swear that kid is going to end up hurting himself one of these days...” Cinnamon, his mother, sighed. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine. I can only hope he caught the bus since it leaves his bus stop at 7:05. If not, then he’s going to have to walk to school” Mythic said. No! No! No! No! I am NOT going to miss the bus! If I do that’ll make me look bad on the first day! Rapid thought as he ran to the bus stop. As if the world hated him, the bus left right as he reached the bus stop. “WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?” he yelled. “Fine. I’ll walk to school. I can only hope that’ll I’ll make it in time.” As he walked, he realized that he had no idea where he was going. He decided that he was going to go up to someone and ask for directions. As soon as he realized where he was, he saw that he was in front of Canterlot High, the other school he could’ve transferred to. As he was looking at it, wondering where to go now, something pink appeared in front of him. “HI!!!” As soon as Rapid was looking at Canterlot High, he was looking at a pink-haired girl with a huge smile on her face. “Aaah! Where the heck did you come from, and who are you!?!” Rapid said, surprised by her. “I am Pinkie Pie! I came from behind the statue over there. I saw you staring, and looking confused. So I decided to say Hi!” She looked at Rapid from head to toe, and her face turned confused. “Why are you wearing a Crystal Prep uniform?” “I’m go to Crystal Prep. I missed the bus and trying to find the school.” “Pinkie? who are you talking to?” A voice said. Pinkie turned to see a cyan kid. “Oh! Hey, Swifty! I’m talking to this kid who was staring at the school!” Pinkie’s eyes filled with curiosity. “Hey. What’s your name?” she asked to Rapid. “My name? My name’s Rapid. Rapid Shadow.” Swifty looked at Rapid, and spoke. “Well, it’s very nice to meet you Rapid.” He looked down at the ground and then muttered, “Even if you go to Crystal Prep.” “Wait... Do you have a problem with me? Because I’m going to Crystal Prep? Just because you whisper doesn’t mean I can’t hear you.” Swifty looked up at Rapid. “Sorry. It’s just that Crystal Prep is the rival of Canterlot High. We’re going to face them in the Friendship Games in a few weeks.” Swift explained. “HELLO! WHO IS THIS YOU’RE TALKING TO?” A voice yelled near them. Rapid yelled and jumped back, freezing up. Rapid turned around to find a grey boy with long black hair standing behind. “Treble, why did you have to scare him like that?” Swiftly spoke. “Are you saying I can’t be loud?” Treble spoke, looking annoyed. “WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING LOUD!?” “Um, can you stop please doing that?” Rapid requested. “WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU!” Treble screamed in a reply. “Treble, that’s quite enough! I can’t believe you’ve scared our friend here. Quite enough,” an elegant voice said. Rapid turned to see a girl with white skin and purple hair standing there. “My apologies. Treble here can be quite loud,” she said smiling. Rapid thought, Okay, seriously. I’ve been here for 5 minutes and already I’ve acquainted with 3 people… by standing in the same place. How odd. “No it’s fine.” He said, politely. “Whenever comes up behind me or screams, I get startled very easily. I have a tendency to scream and jump,” Rapid explained. “Well, I’m quite sorry for Treble’s rudeness. An unpleasant introduction to say the least. Speaking of which, my name’s Rarity. What’s yours, if I may kindly ask?” “My name’s Rapid Shadow.” Rapid, having been caught up in all the introductions, remembered that he was heading to school. “I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta go. I’ll be late for school.” He began to walk off, waving. “I’ll see you guys later!” Bye Rarity, Swift, Pinkie and Treble! See you all later!” Rapid then ran off toward what he believed was Crystal Prep. As he reached the building, he realized, yet again, that he had no idea where to go. He turned around and ran back to Canterlot High and asked “Sorry guys but could i ask you guys something?” Swift and Pinkie, who started to walk into the building, turned around. Swift replied, “Sure, Rapid. What do you need?” “What’s the quickest way to Crystal Prep from here?” After asking, someone came up behind him and asked him, quietly, "Um…” She stopped for a moment. “Why do you need directions to Crystal Prep?" Rapid turned around, seeing a girl with yellow skin and long pink hair. She was rubbing her arm, and her head was tilted downwards. Her eyes were looking up towards Rapid. Assuming that she had asked the question, he answered with, "I go to Crystal Prep because I transferred from Manehattan to Crystal Prep. Apparently, they wouldn't allow me to transfer to Canterlot High. I missed the bus, and I’m now trying to find the way to Crystal Prep.” "Oh okay," she spoke, softly. Rapid was curious, and asked, "What's your name? If you don’t mind me asking." She tilted her head up. "My names Fluttershy." "Fluttershy. That's a nice name." "Hey Flutters? Who this your talking to?" A voice with a Southern accent. The voice came from a girl wearing a Stetson hat that was behind Pinkie. "Oh, Hi! Applejack, this is Rapid. He was just asking Swift for directions to Crystal Prep! They apparently didn't give him directions," Fluttershy responded. "Well, hi, there Rapid! Any friend of Swift and Flutters is a friend of mine," Applejack said. Applejack stuck out her hand. Rapid smiled and shook it. "Nice to meet you as well, Applejack." Rapid smiled as in his head he thought, I met like 6 people within ten minutes. This is happening so quickly. Rapid asked what was the quickest route to Crystal Prep. Swift gave him directions, and Rapid, not wanting to be late for school, waved and thanked Swift as he ran off. Rapid dashed to school and arrived at Crystal Prep. He looked at his phone. It was 7:35. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad he wasn’t late. As he began to walk into the building, a voice from behind Rapid startled him. He turned around to see a blue girl with orange glasses and white ponytails. She spoke quickly, “Why are you running to school instead of taking the bus? You know what? I don’t care. You’re the new student Rapid Shadow, right?” Rapid replied, “Yeah, I am. Why?” The girl adjusted her glasses and said, “Principal Cinch is looking for you. I’ll let her know you’re here.” Rapid, happy with this girl’s kindness, responded, “Thanks. What’s your name by the way, so I can thank you properly.” “Sugarcoat. It’s Sugarcoat. You better get use to it because you’ll be hearing my name a lot. The friendship games are coming up, after all.” “Friendship Games?” Rapid never heard of it in his entire life. “What are those? Nevermind. I’ll find out later. Anyway, thanks.” Rapid took off towards the school, leaving Sugarcoat standing there. She just let out a sigh, shook her head, and walked into the school. Rapid got to the front of the school and just looked at it. He never realized that it was so big and was impressed by it. As he was staring in awe, a voice came up behind him freezing him. Okay, thought Rapid, this is getting repetitive. He turned around, revealing a woman with blue skin and purple curly hair, who had red glasses and was wearing a elegant blue dress. A girl with pink skin and purple, yellow, and pink hair stood beside her, her arms crossed. The women with the purple curly hair looked down at him, “Are you Rapid Shadow?” “Yes.” She looked at him with an unimpressed look. “Good. I’m Principal Cinch. Sugarcoat told me you would be coming. So, I assume you know your schedule for the day?” “Yes, I do. Although, I might need help finding my classes. I didn’t know the school was this big.” Rapid glanced at the school, and back at Principal Cinch. “I might get lost wandering around on my own.” “Dean Cadence will show you around, as she does with new students.” The girl, who was silent up to this point, uncrossed her arms and walked over to Rapid. “Rapid, come with me. I’ll see that you’re situated in your classes and that you know where they are.” Rapid followed Dean Cadence and Principal Cinch inside the school. As soon as he went in, Principal Cinch called Sugarcoat over. “Sugarcoat,” she spoke. Sugarcoat, who was talking with a crowd, looked over at Principal Cinch. She turned around and walked over Principal Cinch. “I’ll need you to watch over him to see if he’s worthy of staying at Crystal Prep.” She looked over at Rapid. Sugarcoat looked at him as well, and nodded her head. Cinch continued, “He was allowed in because of his grades and his athletic ability. It should get us an edge in the Friendship Games.” Sugarcoat nodded and sent a text to all of her friends. Cinch wants us to show another newbie around and see how he does. How does the shadowbolt initiation sound? A friend of hers, Lemon Zest responded. Let’s do it! See how this kid compares to Quill! Another person, Sunny Flare, answered. I hope he’s ready for it. He better be unlike Quill. Indigo Zap responded. Awesome, man! It’s so fun messing with the new kids! I’m up for it and we get to do it 2 weeks in a row?! Awesome! At last, Sour Sweet answered. Eh, I could care less, but if Cinch want’s us to I’ll do it. It’s rare for us to do it 2 weeks in a row. Sugarcoat looked up from her phone at Rapid and smiled. She said, ”Rapid, you better be prepared!” Rapid smiled back. “I am. I can only guess of what they’re going to be.” Chapter 2:Life at Crystal Prep Begins.Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.First Day - The Worst Day of the School Year.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off at 6:45am on a typical Monday. A kid named Light Spark got up. His blond hair blended in with his yellow skin, and his hair his eyes were a piercing blue and he had dark rings under his eyes from lack of sleep. Light Spark got out of his bed and reluctantly went to shower. It took him 15 minutes to get in and out of it. His parents called him from downstairs as he exited the bathroom. “Light Spark, get down here! You’re going to be late for school!” Light’s mother called. “I’ll be right down, mother. Just wait a second,” Light responded. Light calmly got dressed finished brushing his teeth and then walked to his kitchen where his parents were. “Good morning, Mother, Father” Light greeted his parents. “Good morning, Light. You sleep well?” Light’s mother asks. “Yes, I slept fine, mother. I’ll just be on my way to school. I’ll eat something later,” Light spoke as he walked out the door, closing it behind him. “That kid needs to open up to people otherwise he’ll never have any friends to talk to or people to get along with” Light’s father mutters. Light’s mother turns her head and frowns. “He’ll be fine,”Light’s mother assured. “He’ll open up eventually. Just give him time.” As Light walked down the street to go to the bus stop as soon as Light arrives at the bus stop he notices it just going down the street as he saw it drive down the street he thought I missed the bus…. Could this day start any worse than this? Should I even ask this? As Light ponders this a car flies by and hits Light with water from a puddle near him. I shouldn’t have said that now the day will be even worse. Light let’s out a sigh and then continues walking to school. Light continues to walk down the street and wonders to himself This town has had it’s fair share of weird and crazy things happen from demons attacking a school to random creatures that could control you with their voice. Why do they target this town? As he turns a corner, Scootaloo ends up crashing into him while she was on her scooter. “Gosh darnit, Scootaloo! I told you NOT to speed down the sidewalk!” a southern feminine voice called. “Can it, Applebloom!” Scootaloo retorted. “It would have worked if this guy didn’t stand in my way! Besides, we know we can use this as a weapon, right?” “You ok there, mister?” Sweetie Belle was trying to help Light up, speaking in her normally high-pitched voice. “I’m fine. It simply was an accident. I’ll be on my way. Tell your friend to be more careful,” Light gets up and starts walking away. “Wait!” Scootaloo stopped him. “I’m sorry about… you know, hitting you with my scooter. I didn’t mean for this to happen.” “I told your friend to tell you it was fine. It was simply an accident. Now, please leave me alone. I do not want to be late for my first day,” Light tries once again to walk by them. “She was only tryin’ to apologize! Applejack says forgive and forget,” Applebloom replied, clearly annoyed. “I get that, miss. I said it was fine. I don’t need your friends advice. I’ve seen things you’d never want to witness. Now, leave me alone, and you,” he says, pointing at Scootaloo, “try to be more careful, alright?” “Smooth!” Scootaloo mutters under her breath and goes back to her friends. Sweetie Belle began to argue. “To be fair, we did warn you to not go so fast!” “I know you did, but did I know someone would be there? It’s not my fault, Miss Know-it-all!” Scootaloo argued back. “That’s why you always check first!” Sweetie Belle stated in response. “Yeah! Remember that time you knocked over mah apple cart!? We lost 3 days profit on that, and ah was doin’ so so well sell them apples!” Applebloom remarked. “Would you all be quiet? Look, it was an accident. Nothing more. She apologized to me. There is no need for an argument to start. You’re all going to sound like idiots arguing about something irrelevant to this. Just stop.” Light said. After saying this, he walked off and headed toward Crystal Prep. As Light arrives at the gates of Crystal Prep, he stands looking at the school. He hears an engine roar to life from behind him. He turns to see two students. The motorcycle was a dark black, almost as dark as the void of someone’s soul while the sounds of a horse could be heard as the first student was a male with a navy blue and dark green hoodie with dark blue to black jeans with black and purple sneakers, with a dark black helmet. The second was a female that was wearing a Crystal Prep uniform and with light ambrish grey skin, and was wearing a dark leather jacket with multiple band logo patches all over the arms and back. She wore a dark yellow helmet with cat ears and had light blue japanese writing on the sides of the helmet near the visor. As the student with blue hair gets off the motorcycle she walks past Light and into the school. On his right, Light sees a boy who is a few years older than himself. The boy has white hair, blue skin and has yellow eyes. He also wears a Crystal Prep uniform along with black fingerless gloves and a black, stetson hat. The boy spotted Light at the gate and decides to walk up to him. “Hello there.” The boy greeted Light. “Are you new here?” Light turns to see where the voice came from. “Yes. I’m new here I just transferred here due…. to concerns. Might I ask why you approached me?” “Well, I saw you just standing there at the gate. I thought you were a little shy to go in alone so I decided to meet you so that wouldn’t be so alone on your first day.” The boy explained. “Ah, makes sense. I’m not shy. I was just looking at the school. Thank you for greeting me. If I could ask what’s your name? “Name’s Lone Wolf.” The boy pointed to himself. “I also got transferred here almost a month ago.” “Lone Wolf... nice name. My name’s Light Spark.” Light introduced himself. Before Lone could say anything Light felt something rustling around in his backpack as something, or someone, rather popped out of the backpack spraying school supplies everywhere. “HI!!!” the person screamed in Light’s ear as he turned around and found himself face to face with a pink-haired girl with a huge smile on her face. Light didn’t look surprised but was aggravated.“How did you get there!? Actually, never mind,” Light then starts to pick up his school supplies calmly, trying to avoid the new student’s ecstatic stare. “I’m Pinkie Pie!” The girl remarked excitedly. “I came from a portal in your backpack connected to a portal I have in my bedroom. I went through expecting to land in front of my school, canterlot high, but I found myself in your backpack and popped out and saw you. So I decided to say hi!” Light blankly stared at Pinkie. She looked at Light from head to toe, and her face turned confused. “Why are you wearing a Crystal Prep uniform?” “I go to Crystal Prep…..hello? Look around.” The weird pink haired girl that came out of Light’s backpack turns and leaves and then turns around and yells, “Bye Sparkie!” Light sighs and says “Sparkie? Seriously?? I’ve watched some anime but that nickname compares nothing to what I’ve heard…” Light, reminding himself of his current situation, proceeded to run into the Crystal Prep building. After walking in, he headed straight for the gym. The gym teacher called out to the other students for them to gather around. “Hello, students! In class, we have a new student with us.” The gym teacher looks towards him. “Would you introduce yourself, please?” “Fine…” Light Spark muttered, rolling his eyes. “Name’s Light Spark. I honestly don’t care what you think of me. We can try to be friends. I doubt it will work out. Also, if you do try to talk to me don’t be offended if I don’t respond. It just means I have no interest in what you’re saying.” A girl with blue hair raised her hand. “Yes, Indigo?” The gym teacher spoke. lndigo lowered her hand. “So, basically, you’re a loner?” she bluntly asked. Light paused for a second before responding. “Yes, what’s it to you?” “Nothing. Just making sure.” After the question, the Gym teacher announced that they would play dodgeball. After the teams were chosen, the coach blew the whistle and all hell broke loose in the gym. As the whistle was blown a student standing next to Light was knocked over. “Seriously, another injured student? Someone get them on the bench. I’m… going to sit here, watch, and also eat popcorn.” As soon as the Teacher finished the sentence, a dodgeball came flying out of nowhere and hit the popcorn out of his hands. “NO! MY POPCORN! WHOEVER DID THAT WILL PAY!” The teacher yelled, shaking his fist in the air bitterly. On the other side of the dodgeball court, a girl with light green hair took off her headphones and looked around confused, and asked, “Did anyone say anything?” As she asks this, a dodgeball flew by and hit her hand causing her to drop her headphones. She stared at her headphones, and began to scream. “You… You Shall regret doing THAT!” During her battle cry, another ball comes flying and hits her in the face causing her to rear backwards and fall to the ground. Light watches as his teammates get taken out one by one while he just stands there never getting targeted once. Once he was the last standing, he just looks over and sees about 6 students with dodgeballs in hand. He muttered, “Wow, pick on the new kid… how low are they?” As he mutters this a ball hits him in the face. He gets up and said, “Well… That went as expected.” “Alright, Game set match! The game is over. Also… someone please go get the nurse. We have about 4 injuries that need tended to.” While the teacher ran off to get the nurse, the bell rang signaling the end of class. All the students exited the class and headed off to their 2nd hour. “Yay… Science… one of the most boring subjects… still it’s not as boring as math. Although,I think I’ll pull through,” Light remarks sarcastically as he took his seat. As the rest of the class comes in the teacher arrives and takes attendance. “Lone Wolf?” The teacher said. “Present,” Lone Wolf said, raising his hand in the air. “Heavenly Quill?” The teacher asked after looking at the attendance sheet. “Here..” Quill softly says, raising his hand just enough to be visible. “Sunset Shimmer?” The teacher asked. “Present!” Sunset Shimmer raised her hand signaling she was there. “Coco Pommel?” “Here..” Coco said, barely audible. “Neon Lights?” The teacher said, receiving no response. “Has anyone seen him?” The teacher questioned. The girl Light recognized as Indigo said, “He’s in the nurse’s office he got nailed in the face with a dodgeball in gym class.” “Ok….” The teacher went on taking attendance and then the class went on. The teacher was teaching them about something in space. Light didn’t care to listen because he found it extremely boring. After the boring lecture, Light was researching supernovas when a pencil hit him in the back of the head. Light thought, Really? Flinging pencils?? How immature can they get? After the pencil hit him, a girl with light blue hair came up to him, apologizing. “I’m so sorry! Someone took my pencil and flung it at you when I wasn’t paying attention. Are you alright?” “Yeah… I’m fine. Here’s your pencil back” Light reached down below his seat and picked up the pencil, handing it back to the girl. She grabbed the pencil and spoke, “Once again I’m really sorry for this. My name is Coco Pommel. What’s yours?” “Light Spark. Now I should get back to researching all this stuff, even if it’s pointless.” Light said. “Well.. I’ll see you later then?” Coco responded, turning and walking back to her seat. Light turned back to his computer, continuing his research. “Next time we go to Math, the worst class in all of history, and I go to Lunch. The rest of this day looks like it’s going to be one strange ride.” Author's Note This took me a long time to write i have the following people to thank Celtic Fire Tiberious SilverFang Frost Guardian Also My best friend and editor Aaron. He does not have an account but helped me a lot on this chapter. Also feel free to leave a comment. Chapter 2 Interesting Math and Introductions in LunchJust as Light was walking into math, another person was coming out, unaware of Light’s presence, and the two collided in the doorway. Light looked up to see a kid with green skin and green eyes in front of him. “O-Oh no, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going. Are you alright?” The kid asks. “Yeah, I’m alright. Just watch where you’re going, okay? Now, could you please move? I’d prefer not to be late for class,” Light responds. “Alright. Well once again, I am sorry that I ran into you,” the kid then walks off to his next class. After the brief exchange, Light walked into his math class and sat down, just waiting for the class to start. As the rest of the students walked in and sat down, Light was able to recognize a few of the students. He noticed Lone Wolf come into the classroom. After Lone was the girl who had asked if he was a loner, or Indigo Zap, if he was to call her by her real name. She took her seat and after that he didn’t recognize any other students that entered. “Alright. We will now begin the lesson. While we do have a new student, we must continue on with the lesson. I hope you don’t mind.” The other students instantaneously looked over at Light, possibly expecting him to complain about not being able to introduce himself. He, instead, was focused on the lesson that the teacher is lecturing about, ignoring everyone’s glares. “How long does this teacher expect to lecture us on a bunch of stuff that we already know. I mean, come on, we know all this ridiculous geometry and algebra stuff.” Light hears a student mutters, aggravated. “Well, maybe if you a little more attentive, you wouldn’t be so bored. I actually find this ‘quite fun compared to what you consider ‘fun’. Which usually involves being a stereotypical rebellious teenager.” “And that is how you use the Quadratic Formula. Miss Zap, could you please tell us how you would use that formula properly?” Indigo was surprised, not expecting the teacher to call on her.“Uh… sorry, Teacher. While I was paying attention, someone was distracting me and I couldn’t focus on the lesson.” “Well, do you mind telling me who was distracting you? Then, maybe we can prevent future distractions in the classroom.” Indigo looked around her and saw everybody glaring at her, with looks on their faces just daring her to choose one of them to blame when it was her own fault of not paying attention. She did notice one student who was still writing notes slowly. Light watched as Indigo pointed at the kid right next to her and say, “He’s the one who was distracting me from taking notes.” “W-Wha?” The kid said, shocked and confused. “I never even spoke to you at all during this hour. How can you blame me for this?” The kid respond, annoyed by the accusation. “Miss Indigo? Are you trying to blame Shadow for this incident? Because it looks to me that you were not paying attention at all.” “U-uh... Okay, I admit, I wasn’t paying attention. But, quick question-why do we need to learn this stuff again. Don’t we know it already?” “If you look up on the board, you would realize that this stuff is different than what we we’re reading before. Next time, I think it would be a good idea if you paid attention.” The rest of the class started to snicker at Indigo, as she blushed, embarrassed, from her failed attempt to cover up how she wasn’t paying attention. As the rest of the class started to laugh, Light just sighed and said, “If you need the notes Zap, I could help you with them. But next time, try to pay attention in class. Indigo and Light stayed after class a little while, allowing Indigo to finish catching up on notes, and they both walked out of the classroom, heading down the hallway to Lunch. As they walked down to lunch together, Light looked around observed the hallway around them, noticing that there was not many students lingering in the hall. They noticed the lunchroom was already crowded as they walked in. They were the only students in the lunch line at the time since they arrived so late, and everybody was staring at them and whispering to one another “Hey, there’s Indigo. Why is she late?” “And who’s that kid she’s with?” “I don’t know. I’ve never seen the kid. I think he’s the new student.” “He’s the new student? You think Indigo likes him?” “Could be. She did walk in here with him.” As the two grabbed their lunches, Light walked around, observing the lunchroom until he found an empty table to sit down and eat his lunch at. Indigo separated from him and walked over to her normal table with all her friends. “So… Indigo, why were you late from math class? Were you trying to get to know the new kid? Do you have a crush on him?” A pink girl with green and yellow hair asked, eagerly awaiting Indigo’s response. “What?” Indigo responded, shocked. “That wasn’t it! Why would I like him? I just…. got caught in math class for not taking notes and he let me copy his and explained to me the formulas I didn’t understand.That’s all stop trying to create rumors Zest.” “Yeah, she got caught for not taking notes and disrupting the class and then she tried to blame Shadow for distracting her from taking notes.” A girl with bluish skin and orange glasses and two ponytails said bluntly. “Wow! Talk about a fail! You seriously tried to blame Shadow?! Seriously Zap? One of the quietest kids in this school for talking to you?” A girl with yellow skin and cranberry hair with a turquoise highlight said. “Shut up, both of you! I had no other choice. You seriously expect me to blame the new kid? He’s not that different. Couldn’t blame Lone or Quill. The teacher knows they don’t talk much in class.” Indigo Zap said, glancing over at Light. She noticed that none of the outgoing kids that would get to know new students had gone over to him. “Well, that’s strange. I thought that Lone or Quill would go up to him and ask them to join them. Oh wait… ” She watched as Lone approached Light’s table. “Never mind. There goes Lone to talk to him right now.” “Hi, Light. Why are you sitting here all by yourself? Didn’t you make any friends on your first day so far?” Lone asked, watching Light. “Well, as you can also see…” Light spoke, waving his hands over the empty seats, emphasizing them.”I’m not the best at making friends, and not many people approached me and asked, ‘Hey! Do you want to be friends?’ ” “Okay…” Lone replied, in thought for a second before responding. “Do you want to come over and sit with me and my friends? I could introduce you to them, if you want me to.” “Alright, Lone. I’m not sure if this’ll work, but lead the way,” Light responds, getting up from his spot. Lone and Light start walk towards another table, filled with Lone’s friends. Light recognized one of them as the one who ran into him earlier today. Light looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you run into me and knock me over when I was walking into math? “Yeah, t-that was me. I’m sorry about that” The green haired kid says. “By the way, I’m Heavenly Quill. I never actually got your name.” “Heavenly Quill...I might’ve heard that name before.” Light says, trying to remember when he had heard Heavenly’s name. “Yeah, I think I have in gym class. You were either the 2nd or 3rd one out in dodgeball.” “The kid over there with peach colored skin and dark blue eyes and multicolored hair is Dark Steele. Like you, he’s a new student here. He’s also got a sister here-Lilac Steele, I think. She’s over there talking to some of the girls. She’s the one with Peach skin and purple and black striped hair with Lilac purple eyes as well.” “Okay well it was nice to meet you all, but isn’t time to go?” Light pointed towards the clock, which read 11:30 “Yeah. We should probably get going. We don’t want to be late. Who knows what the teachers will do if we are.” Quill replied. “Right… Whatever. Let’s get going,” Dark mumbled. “I’ll go get my sister.” Dark walked over and tapped his sister on the shoulder and said, “It’s time for class. Come on.” “Alright, fine. I’m coming can’t you just lighten up. You’re not going to make many friends that way,” Lilac said. Dark walked back over to the group with his sister and motioned for them to follow him to their next class. As they walked to English class, Light was introduced to Lilac by Dark, albeit a bit reluctantly. “Maybe, I’ll see one of you guys later see you guys later,” Light says, walking into his English class. All of his friends gave him a small wave goodbye, except for Dark, who refused to do it, despite Lilac slugging him in the back of the head. When Light saw Lilac slug Dark, he silently snickered a bit as he walked into English hoping that it wouldn’t be as boring as Math was. Author's Note My Friend Aaron helped me with this and i greatly appreciated it although he doesn't have a account Also, Sorry for the long waiting time for the new chapter.
Chapter 1: First Day of school How will it go?Author's Note This is my First chapter but any criticism constructive criticism is allowed if there is anything wrong don't feel like it's wrong to point it out and thanks to the PoME group for letting me write this story it was an honor to join. Also big thanks to my editor my friend Aaron Powers unfortunately he does not have a user on here but he will be editing my story from this point on. And now to find some cover art great.... this'll take forever. Chapter 1: First Day of school How will it go? First Day of School - How will it go? Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off at 6:45am on a typical Monday. A kid named Rapid Shadow got up. His flame orange hair, which contrasted with his midnight blue skin, was already out of place, like it normally was when he got out of bed. Rapid Shadow got out of his bed and reluctantly went to shower. It took him 15 minutes to get in and out of it. His parents called him from downstairs. “Rapid Shadow get down here you’re going to be late for school!” Cinnamon Shadow called. “I’m coming! Give me a second will you?” Rapid responded. “Son You do not talk to your mother like that you get down here right now!” His father yelled. As soon as he heard his father, Rapid hurried and got dressed. He hastily brushed his teeth, and quickly got dressed, despite how he didn’t like the crystal prep uniform that he was forced to put on after all of it he raced downstairs. “That’s more like it. You should know not to backtalk your mother like that... Here, you’re going to need money to get something to eat at Crystal Prep be sure you behave yourself at school otherwise you’ll wish you behaved.” “Alright, Dad. I’ll see you both later I gotta run if I want to make it to school in time! Bye!” Rapid Shadow said quickly, rushing out the door. “Always in a rush... I swear that kid is going to end up hurting himself one of these days...” Cinnamon, his mother, sighed. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine. I can only hope he caught the bus since it leaves his bus stop at 7:05. If not, then he’s going to have to walk to school” Mythic said. No! No! No! No! I am NOT going to miss the bus! If I do that’ll make me look bad on the first day! Rapid thought as he ran to the bus stop. As if the world hated him, the bus left right as he reached the bus stop. “WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?” he yelled. “Fine. I’ll walk to school. I can only hope that’ll I’ll make it in time.” As he walked, he realized that he had no idea where he was going. He decided that he was going to go up to someone and ask for directions. As soon as he realized where he was, he saw that he was in front of Canterlot High, the other school he could’ve transferred to. As he was looking at it, wondering where to go now, something pink appeared in front of him. “HI!!!” As soon as Rapid was looking at Canterlot High, he was looking at a pink-haired girl with a huge smile on her face. “Aaah! Where the heck did you come from, and who are you!?!” Rapid said, surprised by her. “I am Pinkie Pie! I came from behind the statue over there. I saw you staring, and looking confused. So I decided to say Hi!” She looked at Rapid from head to toe, and her face turned confused. “Why are you wearing a Crystal Prep uniform?” “I’m go to Crystal Prep. I missed the bus and trying to find the school.” “Pinkie? who are you talking to?” A voice said. Pinkie turned to see a cyan kid. “Oh! Hey, Swifty! I’m talking to this kid who was staring at the school!” Pinkie’s eyes filled with curiosity. “Hey. What’s your name?” she asked to Rapid. “My name? My name’s Rapid. Rapid Shadow.” Swifty looked at Rapid, and spoke. “Well, it’s very nice to meet you Rapid.” He looked down at the ground and then muttered, “Even if you go to Crystal Prep.” “Wait... Do you have a problem with me? Because I’m going to Crystal Prep? Just because you whisper doesn’t mean I can’t hear you.” Swifty looked up at Rapid. “Sorry. It’s just that Crystal Prep is the rival of Canterlot High. We’re going to face them in the Friendship Games in a few weeks.” Swift explained. “HELLO! WHO IS THIS YOU’RE TALKING TO?” A voice yelled near them. Rapid yelled and jumped back, freezing up. Rapid turned around to find a grey boy with long black hair standing behind. “Treble, why did you have to scare him like that?” Swiftly spoke. “Are you saying I can’t be loud?” Treble spoke, looking annoyed. “WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING LOUD!?” “Um, can you stop please doing that?” Rapid requested. “WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU!” Treble screamed in a reply. “Treble, that’s quite enough! I can’t believe you’ve scared our friend here. Quite enough,” an elegant voice said. Rapid turned to see a girl with white skin and purple hair standing there. “My apologies. Treble here can be quite loud,” she said smiling. Rapid thought, Okay, seriously. I’ve been here for 5 minutes and already I’ve acquainted with 3 people… by standing in the same place. How odd. “No it’s fine.” He said, politely. “Whenever comes up behind me or screams, I get startled very easily. I have a tendency to scream and jump,” Rapid explained. “Well, I’m quite sorry for Treble’s rudeness. An unpleasant introduction to say the least. Speaking of which, my name’s Rarity. What’s yours, if I may kindly ask?” “My name’s Rapid Shadow.” Rapid, having been caught up in all the introductions, remembered that he was heading to school. “I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta go. I’ll be late for school.” He began to walk off, waving. “I’ll see you guys later!” Bye Rarity, Swift, Pinkie and Treble! See you all later!” Rapid then ran off toward what he believed was Crystal Prep. As he reached the building, he realized, yet again, that he had no idea where to go. He turned around and ran back to Canterlot High and asked “Sorry guys but could i ask you guys something?” Swift and Pinkie, who started to walk into the building, turned around. Swift replied, “Sure, Rapid. What do you need?” “What’s the quickest way to Crystal Prep from here?” After asking, someone came up behind him and asked him, quietly, "Um…” She stopped for a moment. “Why do you need directions to Crystal Prep?" Rapid turned around, seeing a girl with yellow skin and long pink hair. She was rubbing her arm, and her head was tilted downwards. Her eyes were looking up towards Rapid. Assuming that she had asked the question, he answered with, "I go to Crystal Prep because I transferred from Manehattan to Crystal Prep. Apparently, they wouldn't allow me to transfer to Canterlot High. I missed the bus, and I’m now trying to find the way to Crystal Prep.” "Oh okay," she spoke, softly. Rapid was curious, and asked, "What's your name? If you don’t mind me asking." She tilted her head up. "My names Fluttershy." "Fluttershy. That's a nice name." "Hey Flutters? Who this your talking to?" A voice with a Southern accent. The voice came from a girl wearing a Stetson hat that was behind Pinkie. "Oh, Hi! Applejack, this is Rapid. He was just asking Swift for directions to Crystal Prep! They apparently didn't give him directions," Fluttershy responded. "Well, hi, there Rapid! Any friend of Swift and Flutters is a friend of mine," Applejack said. Applejack stuck out her hand. Rapid smiled and shook it. "Nice to meet you as well, Applejack." Rapid smiled as in his head he thought, I met like 6 people within ten minutes. This is happening so quickly. Rapid asked what was the quickest route to Crystal Prep. Swift gave him directions, and Rapid, not wanting to be late for school, waved and thanked Swift as he ran off. Rapid dashed to school and arrived at Crystal Prep. He looked at his phone. It was 7:35. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad he wasn’t late. As he began to walk into the building, a voice from behind Rapid startled him. He turned around to see a blue girl with orange glasses and white ponytails. She spoke quickly, “Why are you running to school instead of taking the bus? You know what? I don’t care. You’re the new student Rapid Shadow, right?” Rapid replied, “Yeah, I am. Why?” The girl adjusted her glasses and said, “Principal Cinch is looking for you. I’ll let her know you’re here.” Rapid, happy with this girl’s kindness, responded, “Thanks. What’s your name by the way, so I can thank you properly.” “Sugarcoat. It’s Sugarcoat. You better get use to it because you’ll be hearing my name a lot. The friendship games are coming up, after all.” “Friendship Games?” Rapid never heard of it in his entire life. “What are those? Nevermind. I’ll find out later. Anyway, thanks.” Rapid took off towards the school, leaving Sugarcoat standing there. She just let out a sigh, shook her head, and walked into the school. Rapid got to the front of the school and just looked at it. He never realized that it was so big and was impressed by it. As he was staring in awe, a voice came up behind him freezing him. Okay, thought Rapid, this is getting repetitive. He turned around, revealing a woman with blue skin and purple curly hair, who had red glasses and was wearing a elegant blue dress. A girl with pink skin and purple, yellow, and pink hair stood beside her, her arms crossed. The women with the purple curly hair looked down at him, “Are you Rapid Shadow?” “Yes.” She looked at him with an unimpressed look. “Good. I’m Principal Cinch. Sugarcoat told me you would be coming. So, I assume you know your schedule for the day?” “Yes, I do. Although, I might need help finding my classes. I didn’t know the school was this big.” Rapid glanced at the school, and back at Principal Cinch. “I might get lost wandering around on my own.” “Dean Cadence will show you around, as she does with new students.” The girl, who was silent up to this point, uncrossed her arms and walked over to Rapid. “Rapid, come with me. I’ll see that you’re situated in your classes and that you know where they are.” Rapid followed Dean Cadence and Principal Cinch inside the school. As soon as he went in, Principal Cinch called Sugarcoat over. “Sugarcoat,” she spoke. Sugarcoat, who was talking with a crowd, looked over at Principal Cinch. She turned around and walked over Principal Cinch. “I’ll need you to watch over him to see if he’s worthy of staying at Crystal Prep.” She looked over at Rapid. Sugarcoat looked at him as well, and nodded her head. Cinch continued, “He was allowed in because of his grades and his athletic ability. It should get us an edge in the Friendship Games.” Sugarcoat nodded and sent a text to all of her friends. Cinch wants us to show another newbie around and see how he does. How does the shadowbolt initiation sound? A friend of hers, Lemon Zest responded. Let’s do it! See how this kid compares to Quill! Another person, Sunny Flare, answered. I hope he’s ready for it. He better be unlike Quill. Indigo Zap responded. Awesome, man! It’s so fun messing with the new kids! I’m up for it and we get to do it 2 weeks in a row?! Awesome! At last, Sour Sweet answered. Eh, I could care less, but if Cinch want’s us to I’ll do it. It’s rare for us to do it 2 weeks in a row. Sugarcoat looked up from her phone at Rapid and smiled. She said, ”Rapid, you better be prepared!” Rapid smiled back. “I am. I can only guess of what they’re going to be.”
Chapter 2:Life at Crystal Prep Begins.Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
First Day - The Worst Day of the School Year.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off at 6:45am on a typical Monday. A kid named Light Spark got up. His blond hair blended in with his yellow skin, and his hair his eyes were a piercing blue and he had dark rings under his eyes from lack of sleep. Light Spark got out of his bed and reluctantly went to shower. It took him 15 minutes to get in and out of it. His parents called him from downstairs as he exited the bathroom. “Light Spark, get down here! You’re going to be late for school!” Light’s mother called. “I’ll be right down, mother. Just wait a second,” Light responded. Light calmly got dressed finished brushing his teeth and then walked to his kitchen where his parents were. “Good morning, Mother, Father” Light greeted his parents. “Good morning, Light. You sleep well?” Light’s mother asks. “Yes, I slept fine, mother. I’ll just be on my way to school. I’ll eat something later,” Light spoke as he walked out the door, closing it behind him. “That kid needs to open up to people otherwise he’ll never have any friends to talk to or people to get along with” Light’s father mutters. Light’s mother turns her head and frowns. “He’ll be fine,”Light’s mother assured. “He’ll open up eventually. Just give him time.” As Light walked down the street to go to the bus stop as soon as Light arrives at the bus stop he notices it just going down the street as he saw it drive down the street he thought I missed the bus…. Could this day start any worse than this? Should I even ask this? As Light ponders this a car flies by and hits Light with water from a puddle near him. I shouldn’t have said that now the day will be even worse. Light let’s out a sigh and then continues walking to school. Light continues to walk down the street and wonders to himself This town has had it’s fair share of weird and crazy things happen from demons attacking a school to random creatures that could control you with their voice. Why do they target this town? As he turns a corner, Scootaloo ends up crashing into him while she was on her scooter. “Gosh darnit, Scootaloo! I told you NOT to speed down the sidewalk!” a southern feminine voice called. “Can it, Applebloom!” Scootaloo retorted. “It would have worked if this guy didn’t stand in my way! Besides, we know we can use this as a weapon, right?” “You ok there, mister?” Sweetie Belle was trying to help Light up, speaking in her normally high-pitched voice. “I’m fine. It simply was an accident. I’ll be on my way. Tell your friend to be more careful,” Light gets up and starts walking away. “Wait!” Scootaloo stopped him. “I’m sorry about… you know, hitting you with my scooter. I didn’t mean for this to happen.” “I told your friend to tell you it was fine. It was simply an accident. Now, please leave me alone. I do not want to be late for my first day,” Light tries once again to walk by them. “She was only tryin’ to apologize! Applejack says forgive and forget,” Applebloom replied, clearly annoyed. “I get that, miss. I said it was fine. I don’t need your friends advice. I’ve seen things you’d never want to witness. Now, leave me alone, and you,” he says, pointing at Scootaloo, “try to be more careful, alright?” “Smooth!” Scootaloo mutters under her breath and goes back to her friends. Sweetie Belle began to argue. “To be fair, we did warn you to not go so fast!” “I know you did, but did I know someone would be there? It’s not my fault, Miss Know-it-all!” Scootaloo argued back. “That’s why you always check first!” Sweetie Belle stated in response. “Yeah! Remember that time you knocked over mah apple cart!? We lost 3 days profit on that, and ah was doin’ so so well sell them apples!” Applebloom remarked. “Would you all be quiet? Look, it was an accident. Nothing more. She apologized to me. There is no need for an argument to start. You’re all going to sound like idiots arguing about something irrelevant to this. Just stop.” Light said. After saying this, he walked off and headed toward Crystal Prep. As Light arrives at the gates of Crystal Prep, he stands looking at the school. He hears an engine roar to life from behind him. He turns to see two students. The motorcycle was a dark black, almost as dark as the void of someone’s soul while the sounds of a horse could be heard as the first student was a male with a navy blue and dark green hoodie with dark blue to black jeans with black and purple sneakers, with a dark black helmet. The second was a female that was wearing a Crystal Prep uniform and with light ambrish grey skin, and was wearing a dark leather jacket with multiple band logo patches all over the arms and back. She wore a dark yellow helmet with cat ears and had light blue japanese writing on the sides of the helmet near the visor. As the student with blue hair gets off the motorcycle she walks past Light and into the school. On his right, Light sees a boy who is a few years older than himself. The boy has white hair, blue skin and has yellow eyes. He also wears a Crystal Prep uniform along with black fingerless gloves and a black, stetson hat. The boy spotted Light at the gate and decides to walk up to him. “Hello there.” The boy greeted Light. “Are you new here?” Light turns to see where the voice came from. “Yes. I’m new here I just transferred here due…. to concerns. Might I ask why you approached me?” “Well, I saw you just standing there at the gate. I thought you were a little shy to go in alone so I decided to meet you so that wouldn’t be so alone on your first day.” The boy explained. “Ah, makes sense. I’m not shy. I was just looking at the school. Thank you for greeting me. If I could ask what’s your name? “Name’s Lone Wolf.” The boy pointed to himself. “I also got transferred here almost a month ago.” “Lone Wolf... nice name. My name’s Light Spark.” Light introduced himself. Before Lone could say anything Light felt something rustling around in his backpack as something, or someone, rather popped out of the backpack spraying school supplies everywhere. “HI!!!” the person screamed in Light’s ear as he turned around and found himself face to face with a pink-haired girl with a huge smile on her face. Light didn’t look surprised but was aggravated.“How did you get there!? Actually, never mind,” Light then starts to pick up his school supplies calmly, trying to avoid the new student’s ecstatic stare. “I’m Pinkie Pie!” The girl remarked excitedly. “I came from a portal in your backpack connected to a portal I have in my bedroom. I went through expecting to land in front of my school, canterlot high, but I found myself in your backpack and popped out and saw you. So I decided to say hi!” Light blankly stared at Pinkie. She looked at Light from head to toe, and her face turned confused. “Why are you wearing a Crystal Prep uniform?” “I go to Crystal Prep…..hello? Look around.” The weird pink haired girl that came out of Light’s backpack turns and leaves and then turns around and yells, “Bye Sparkie!” Light sighs and says “Sparkie? Seriously?? I’ve watched some anime but that nickname compares nothing to what I’ve heard…” Light, reminding himself of his current situation, proceeded to run into the Crystal Prep building. After walking in, he headed straight for the gym. The gym teacher called out to the other students for them to gather around. “Hello, students! In class, we have a new student with us.” The gym teacher looks towards him. “Would you introduce yourself, please?” “Fine…” Light Spark muttered, rolling his eyes. “Name’s Light Spark. I honestly don’t care what you think of me. We can try to be friends. I doubt it will work out. Also, if you do try to talk to me don’t be offended if I don’t respond. It just means I have no interest in what you’re saying.” A girl with blue hair raised her hand. “Yes, Indigo?” The gym teacher spoke. lndigo lowered her hand. “So, basically, you’re a loner?” she bluntly asked. Light paused for a second before responding. “Yes, what’s it to you?” “Nothing. Just making sure.” After the question, the Gym teacher announced that they would play dodgeball. After the teams were chosen, the coach blew the whistle and all hell broke loose in the gym. As the whistle was blown a student standing next to Light was knocked over. “Seriously, another injured student? Someone get them on the bench. I’m… going to sit here, watch, and also eat popcorn.” As soon as the Teacher finished the sentence, a dodgeball came flying out of nowhere and hit the popcorn out of his hands. “NO! MY POPCORN! WHOEVER DID THAT WILL PAY!” The teacher yelled, shaking his fist in the air bitterly. On the other side of the dodgeball court, a girl with light green hair took off her headphones and looked around confused, and asked, “Did anyone say anything?” As she asks this, a dodgeball flew by and hit her hand causing her to drop her headphones. She stared at her headphones, and began to scream. “You… You Shall regret doing THAT!” During her battle cry, another ball comes flying and hits her in the face causing her to rear backwards and fall to the ground. Light watches as his teammates get taken out one by one while he just stands there never getting targeted once. Once he was the last standing, he just looks over and sees about 6 students with dodgeballs in hand. He muttered, “Wow, pick on the new kid… how low are they?” As he mutters this a ball hits him in the face. He gets up and said, “Well… That went as expected.” “Alright, Game set match! The game is over. Also… someone please go get the nurse. We have about 4 injuries that need tended to.” While the teacher ran off to get the nurse, the bell rang signaling the end of class. All the students exited the class and headed off to their 2nd hour. “Yay… Science… one of the most boring subjects… still it’s not as boring as math. Although,I think I’ll pull through,” Light remarks sarcastically as he took his seat. As the rest of the class comes in the teacher arrives and takes attendance. “Lone Wolf?” The teacher said. “Present,” Lone Wolf said, raising his hand in the air. “Heavenly Quill?” The teacher asked after looking at the attendance sheet. “Here..” Quill softly says, raising his hand just enough to be visible. “Sunset Shimmer?” The teacher asked. “Present!” Sunset Shimmer raised her hand signaling she was there. “Coco Pommel?” “Here..” Coco said, barely audible. “Neon Lights?” The teacher said, receiving no response. “Has anyone seen him?” The teacher questioned. The girl Light recognized as Indigo said, “He’s in the nurse’s office he got nailed in the face with a dodgeball in gym class.” “Ok….” The teacher went on taking attendance and then the class went on. The teacher was teaching them about something in space. Light didn’t care to listen because he found it extremely boring. After the boring lecture, Light was researching supernovas when a pencil hit him in the back of the head. Light thought, Really? Flinging pencils?? How immature can they get? After the pencil hit him, a girl with light blue hair came up to him, apologizing. “I’m so sorry! Someone took my pencil and flung it at you when I wasn’t paying attention. Are you alright?” “Yeah… I’m fine. Here’s your pencil back” Light reached down below his seat and picked up the pencil, handing it back to the girl. She grabbed the pencil and spoke, “Once again I’m really sorry for this. My name is Coco Pommel. What’s yours?” “Light Spark. Now I should get back to researching all this stuff, even if it’s pointless.” Light said. “Well.. I’ll see you later then?” Coco responded, turning and walking back to her seat. Light turned back to his computer, continuing his research. “Next time we go to Math, the worst class in all of history, and I go to Lunch. The rest of this day looks like it’s going to be one strange ride.” Author's Note This took me a long time to write i have the following people to thank Celtic Fire Tiberious SilverFang Frost Guardian Also My best friend and editor Aaron. He does not have an account but helped me a lot on this chapter. Also feel free to leave a comment.
Chapter 2 Interesting Math and Introductions in LunchJust as Light was walking into math, another person was coming out, unaware of Light’s presence, and the two collided in the doorway. Light looked up to see a kid with green skin and green eyes in front of him. “O-Oh no, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going. Are you alright?” The kid asks. “Yeah, I’m alright. Just watch where you’re going, okay? Now, could you please move? I’d prefer not to be late for class,” Light responds. “Alright. Well once again, I am sorry that I ran into you,” the kid then walks off to his next class. After the brief exchange, Light walked into his math class and sat down, just waiting for the class to start. As the rest of the students walked in and sat down, Light was able to recognize a few of the students. He noticed Lone Wolf come into the classroom. After Lone was the girl who had asked if he was a loner, or Indigo Zap, if he was to call her by her real name. She took her seat and after that he didn’t recognize any other students that entered. “Alright. We will now begin the lesson. While we do have a new student, we must continue on with the lesson. I hope you don’t mind.” The other students instantaneously looked over at Light, possibly expecting him to complain about not being able to introduce himself. He, instead, was focused on the lesson that the teacher is lecturing about, ignoring everyone’s glares. “How long does this teacher expect to lecture us on a bunch of stuff that we already know. I mean, come on, we know all this ridiculous geometry and algebra stuff.” Light hears a student mutters, aggravated. “Well, maybe if you a little more attentive, you wouldn’t be so bored. I actually find this ‘quite fun compared to what you consider ‘fun’. Which usually involves being a stereotypical rebellious teenager.” “And that is how you use the Quadratic Formula. Miss Zap, could you please tell us how you would use that formula properly?” Indigo was surprised, not expecting the teacher to call on her.“Uh… sorry, Teacher. While I was paying attention, someone was distracting me and I couldn’t focus on the lesson.” “Well, do you mind telling me who was distracting you? Then, maybe we can prevent future distractions in the classroom.” Indigo looked around her and saw everybody glaring at her, with looks on their faces just daring her to choose one of them to blame when it was her own fault of not paying attention. She did notice one student who was still writing notes slowly. Light watched as Indigo pointed at the kid right next to her and say, “He’s the one who was distracting me from taking notes.” “W-Wha?” The kid said, shocked and confused. “I never even spoke to you at all during this hour. How can you blame me for this?” The kid respond, annoyed by the accusation. “Miss Indigo? Are you trying to blame Shadow for this incident? Because it looks to me that you were not paying attention at all.” “U-uh... Okay, I admit, I wasn’t paying attention. But, quick question-why do we need to learn this stuff again. Don’t we know it already?” “If you look up on the board, you would realize that this stuff is different than what we we’re reading before. Next time, I think it would be a good idea if you paid attention.” The rest of the class started to snicker at Indigo, as she blushed, embarrassed, from her failed attempt to cover up how she wasn’t paying attention. As the rest of the class started to laugh, Light just sighed and said, “If you need the notes Zap, I could help you with them. But next time, try to pay attention in class. Indigo and Light stayed after class a little while, allowing Indigo to finish catching up on notes, and they both walked out of the classroom, heading down the hallway to Lunch. As they walked down to lunch together, Light looked around observed the hallway around them, noticing that there was not many students lingering in the hall. They noticed the lunchroom was already crowded as they walked in. They were the only students in the lunch line at the time since they arrived so late, and everybody was staring at them and whispering to one another “Hey, there’s Indigo. Why is she late?” “And who’s that kid she’s with?” “I don’t know. I’ve never seen the kid. I think he’s the new student.” “He’s the new student? You think Indigo likes him?” “Could be. She did walk in here with him.” As the two grabbed their lunches, Light walked around, observing the lunchroom until he found an empty table to sit down and eat his lunch at. Indigo separated from him and walked over to her normal table with all her friends. “So… Indigo, why were you late from math class? Were you trying to get to know the new kid? Do you have a crush on him?” A pink girl with green and yellow hair asked, eagerly awaiting Indigo’s response. “What?” Indigo responded, shocked. “That wasn’t it! Why would I like him? I just…. got caught in math class for not taking notes and he let me copy his and explained to me the formulas I didn’t understand.That’s all stop trying to create rumors Zest.” “Yeah, she got caught for not taking notes and disrupting the class and then she tried to blame Shadow for distracting her from taking notes.” A girl with bluish skin and orange glasses and two ponytails said bluntly. “Wow! Talk about a fail! You seriously tried to blame Shadow?! Seriously Zap? One of the quietest kids in this school for talking to you?” A girl with yellow skin and cranberry hair with a turquoise highlight said. “Shut up, both of you! I had no other choice. You seriously expect me to blame the new kid? He’s not that different. Couldn’t blame Lone or Quill. The teacher knows they don’t talk much in class.” Indigo Zap said, glancing over at Light. She noticed that none of the outgoing kids that would get to know new students had gone over to him. “Well, that’s strange. I thought that Lone or Quill would go up to him and ask them to join them. Oh wait… ” She watched as Lone approached Light’s table. “Never mind. There goes Lone to talk to him right now.” “Hi, Light. Why are you sitting here all by yourself? Didn’t you make any friends on your first day so far?” Lone asked, watching Light. “Well, as you can also see…” Light spoke, waving his hands over the empty seats, emphasizing them.”I’m not the best at making friends, and not many people approached me and asked, ‘Hey! Do you want to be friends?’ ” “Okay…” Lone replied, in thought for a second before responding. “Do you want to come over and sit with me and my friends? I could introduce you to them, if you want me to.” “Alright, Lone. I’m not sure if this’ll work, but lead the way,” Light responds, getting up from his spot. Lone and Light start walk towards another table, filled with Lone’s friends. Light recognized one of them as the one who ran into him earlier today. Light looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you run into me and knock me over when I was walking into math? “Yeah, t-that was me. I’m sorry about that” The green haired kid says. “By the way, I’m Heavenly Quill. I never actually got your name.” “Heavenly Quill...I might’ve heard that name before.” Light says, trying to remember when he had heard Heavenly’s name. “Yeah, I think I have in gym class. You were either the 2nd or 3rd one out in dodgeball.” “The kid over there with peach colored skin and dark blue eyes and multicolored hair is Dark Steele. Like you, he’s a new student here. He’s also got a sister here-Lilac Steele, I think. She’s over there talking to some of the girls. She’s the one with Peach skin and purple and black striped hair with Lilac purple eyes as well.” “Okay well it was nice to meet you all, but isn’t time to go?” Light pointed towards the clock, which read 11:30 “Yeah. We should probably get going. We don’t want to be late. Who knows what the teachers will do if we are.” Quill replied. “Right… Whatever. Let’s get going,” Dark mumbled. “I’ll go get my sister.” Dark walked over and tapped his sister on the shoulder and said, “It’s time for class. Come on.” “Alright, fine. I’m coming can’t you just lighten up. You’re not going to make many friends that way,” Lilac said. Dark walked back over to the group with his sister and motioned for them to follow him to their next class. As they walked to English class, Light was introduced to Lilac by Dark, albeit a bit reluctantly. “Maybe, I’ll see one of you guys later see you guys later,” Light says, walking into his English class. All of his friends gave him a small wave goodbye, except for Dark, who refused to do it, despite Lilac slugging him in the back of the head. When Light saw Lilac slug Dark, he silently snickered a bit as he walked into English hoping that it wouldn’t be as boring as Math was. Author's Note My Friend Aaron helped me with this and i greatly appreciated it although he doesn't have a account Also, Sorry for the long waiting time for the new chapter.
