First Day Of School

Chapter 1

______________________________________________________________________________

My parents gave me a few days to settle in before making me go to school, but now is the dreaded first day. The day I have to show I’m not a complete freak show. I walk to my closet, my mom bought me new clothes the other day. She is so obviously trying to make me feel better. I choose out a blank gray t-shirt, a black jacket with a single white strip and the left sleeve, and jeans. After changing I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. My white hair looked like a complete mess, I always wondered why I was born with white hair. Though after a couple of years I got over it. Then I looked at my purple eyes, I looked exhausted. I couldn't sleep last night.

My mom called me down for breakfast. When I got down there my dad was running around, he was running late. Weird, my dad is never late wonder what changed today. I ate the eggs and toast my mom cooked and left. By the time I left, my dad was gone.

The thing most eye catching about Canterlot High is the statue in the middle of the court yard. It was a horse on it two hind legs. All the kids were walking into the school and meeting up with their friends. I always thought of myself as more of an observer. It probably has something to do with that fact I have no friends. Though I’ve always had some kind of joy on listening in on funny conversations.

When the first bell rang I went to the principal's office. Her name is Celestia, she had weird colorful hair.

“Here is your schedule for the year, now get to class.” Celestia said as she handed me the piece of paper.

“Thank you.” I replied.

After that I headed to my class, my homeroom was math. I’ve always hated math. When I got to the classroom everyone was talking. Something about the friendship games, not sure what that is. There were some very unique people in this class. Three that stood out the most were, a girl with rainbow hair and magenta eyes, a girl with blonde hair and gold eyes (her eyes were a bit crossed), and a girl with red and yellow hair plus blue eyes.

It wasn’t till the teacher walked in that i realized my dad taught this class. Ugh, why couldn’t I have gotten another class. I hate being taught by my dad, it just… weird. he greeted the class and immediately got to the lesson. I zoned out in the middle of class, it always about the same thing. Am I actually supposed to be here? Should I be somewhere else? I guess I’ll never know the answer.

“Dark, Dark!” Dad yelled.

“Sorry.. Sir” I snapped back into reality.

“Answer the question.”

“Uh, i’m sorry. What was the question?”

“Dark, listen in my class!”

He didn’t bother telling what the question was he just moved on. He did that, not only with me too. He does it to all the students that don’t focused in the class. As anyone could guess, it happens to me all the time.

I was really happy when lunch finally came, I could get a break from annoying teachers and get some food in my stomach. I went to a table in the back that had no students sitting at it.

My lunch was a turkey sandwich and an apple. When ever my mind isn’t occupied i get the strange feeling to run away. Find where I’m “supposed” to be. My thought got interrupted when I heard a loud HEY!

The was a girl next to me, she had bouncy Pinkie hair and blue eyes. She looked way too energetic for school. I felt like if I didn’t move I would be pounced on. Low and behold she pounced on me. What is up with this girl, it took all my focus to balance on the chair with her hanging from me.

“Um, hi?” I questioned.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! You're new aren’t you?” She asked.

“Uh… Yeah. Why?”

“I’m so excited, we haven’t had a normal new student in ages!”

What does she mean normal? Just as she finally got off me the girl with yellow and red hair from my homeroom class came running over. She looked just a tiny bit annoyed. Wonder if she’s a friends of this girl.

“Pinkie! Don’t bother him.” She said.

“Aw, but he needs to get a warm welcome.” Pinkie replied.

“Hey, it’s alright I… uh, don’t mind.” I nervously said. Ah! it’s so hard to talk to people!

“Oh. okay. Well my name is Sunset Shimmer. What’s your name?”

“My name is… um, Dark Night.”

“Nice too meet you.”

Then five other girls started to walk this direction. Great, just more opportunity to be awkward. One was the girl with the rainbow hair same class as Sunset Shimmer. One had blonde hair green eyes, another with purple hair and dark blue eyes, the next had pink hair and greenish-blue eyes. Lasty there was a girl with purple hair with a light purple and magenta highlight. She also had purple eyes and glasses.

“Hey, Sunset what’s up.” The was with rainbow hair greeted.

“Hey, Rainbow Dash. I’m just saying hey to Dark Night.” Sunset answered.

“Dark Night?”

“Yeah, he is a new student.”

I did not like the fact they were talking about me well I was sitting literally right here. Seriously though, what the hell!

“Anyway, Dark Night this Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity.” Sunset introduced me. She pointed to each of the girls.

“Uh… hi.” I said almost in a whisper. Why me, I can’t handle this many people at once. I can barely handle one person.

They all jumped at me and said hi. Only two of them stayed back, Twilight and Fluttershy. After getting a better look at Twilight she gives me a weirdly nostalgic feeling. Why, I don’t think I’ve ever meet her before. They all sat down and started eating, Sunset Shimmer sat next to me. I just tried to ignore them, after lunch they probably won’t talk to me again. Without knowing it I started to observe Sunset Shimmer and her friends.

Sunset Shimmer took a weird, old looking, book out of her bag. It had a sun symbol on it. This book, I’ve seen it before. I know it, but where? No, it’s just that dumb weird feeling. Or is it? Again, will I ever know.

Sunset Shimmer looked at me and I realized they were all looking at me. What did I do?

“Uh, sorry what did I…um do?” I asked.

“Nothing really, but why are you staring?” Sunset asked.

“No, I wasn’t staring I was just zoning out thinking about random stuff.”

“Oh.” I don’t think she believed me. Oh well, not the first time I’ve embarrassed myself. Still, that book. Why out of everything would a book, that i know nothing about, seem familiar. Maybe I should ask what the books for, but what is she doesn't wanna tell me. Agh! Whatever, I’m just gonna walk away. I got up and through out my garbage, then I walked outside the cafeteria and went to my locker. I lended all the wall and starting waiting for the bell. I’m an idiot, I can’t even talk to people for a full lunch period without screwing myself over.

“Hey, are you alright?” Sunset, the way she stood beside me she must have been there for a while. How did I not notice? What confused me the most was that she looked genuinely concerned. Did I look that upset.

“Um, yeah, I’m… fine.” I replied.

“That doesn’t sound very convincing.”

“Uh.. I just feel, um a bit under the weather.” Ugh, why would I lie. How on earth is that helping me!

Sunset moved in front of me and put her hand on my forehead. She looks really cute up close. I could feel my face getting hotter. Why would I think of that! What is even going on!

“You don’t feel too hot. I think you’ll be okay.” Sunset said. All I could mumble out is uh huh.

The bell rang after that and I walked to class. I sighed, well I guess I won’t talk to them ever again. That’s how it normally goes, why would things change now. I’m so used to it, so why do I have this longing, hopeful feeling that they will talk to me again.

I went through the rest of the feeling like an actual zombie. I had trouble focusing in all my classes, even my favorite class, social studies. I had a lot of things on my mind, but the one thinks all my thoughts bounce off of, is that book. I’m more curious than I ever have been in my life. It too late to ask now. I can’t start a conversation and they won’t talk to me again. Oh well, I just need to forget.

After school, my dad wanted to see me. Probably for not listening in his class. He always gives me lectures when I do that. I made sure no one was in the classroom before entering. My dad was grading papers on his desk. He looked at me and motioned me to sit down. I sat down, he didn’t talk for a couple of minutes. It was really awkward.

“Dark, I need to ask something of you.” Dad said, why is he so formal?

“what’s wrong dad?” I asked.

“I’m worried about you, you’ve never had any friends. Not even one!”

“So?”

“I want you to try and make friends here. Everyone is really nice, you can’t go through life alone.”

“I’m not alone I have you and mom.”

“Dark, just please promise you’ll try.”

“I guess I can try.”

“Thank you. You can leave now.”

II left the room and sighed. Now I have to try, maybe I can talk to Sunset or Twilight. No, they won’t talk to me ever again. I left the school building, Sunset and her friends were all hanging out round the statue. A weird meeting point if you ask me.

“Hey, Dark Night!” Sunset called to me. I guess I might have been wrong. Well, I guess I should try.

“Um, just Dark is okay.” I replied.

“Alight, anyway Dark are you coming to the celebration?”

“Celebration?”

“Yeah, it’s tonight. We are celebrating the tie of the Friendship Games.”

“Um, sure I guess I’ll come.”

“Cool, meet us here at seven?”

“Okay, see you there.”

As I walked away I could feel my heart pounding. Who knew it was so hard to talk to people. Oh, wait I did. Anyway, I did it. I might have a chance of having some friends. Just maybe! Ge, I can’t stop smiling.

I got home and my mom and dad were talking at the table. Looks like they were talking about something important. Wonder what?

“Hey Dark, you look happy.” My mom greeted me.

“Yep, I’m going to the celebration at Canterlot high tonight.”

“Oh, that’s wonderful!”

After that they went back to their conversation and went to my room to get ready. I should wear something better than my normal everyday clothes. I looked in my closet. The best thing I could find is an edgy leather jacket, white dress shirt and black dress pants. Better than nothing I suppose.

I was early to the school because I was honestly pretty excited. Though it turns out Sunset was early too.

“Hey Sunset.” I greeted. She was wearing the same jacket, but she had a magenta shirt on and black jeans.

“Hey, I thought I was the only that was gonna be early.”

“Well, I’m excited.”

“Yeah, me too. Some other students went inside already.”

“Really, nice. So I’ve been wanting to ask you something, but was so sure.”

“Go ahead, I don’t mind.”

“What is that book you have for?”

“Oh, uh.”

“Don't feel pressured to answer! Everyone has their secrets.”

“Thanks, but I don’t think you do.”

“Why is that?”

“Because you’ve been pretty straight forward.”

“Well even I do.” That only makes me feel worse about lying to her earlier. There was an awkward silence after that. Thankful Pinkie came to the rescue. She was practically screaming in delight. The others came shortly after and we all went inside.

The gym was so crowded. I suddenly felt really uncomfortable. There was even kids from another school. Wait, why? Now that I think about it I don’t even know what the Friendship Games are. There was loud music playing and a decent amount of kids dancing. Not bad for a school event. I followed the others to the snack table. I tapped Sunset on the shoulder.

“Probably should have asked this before, but what even is the Friendship Games?” I asked. She laughed.

“It’s an event that takes place every four years. Us versus Crystal Prep, there are many events and you compete for the win.”

“Oh, sounds fun. Guess I should have come to school last week.”

“Nah, it wasn’t too.”

“Don’t worry about making upset it’s cool. I choose not to come last week.”

“Okay.” She seemed kinda offended. Guess I said the wrong thing, sucks being new to this talking thing.

Principal Celestia walked on stage and got the attention of the students. The music stopped and the kids gathered around. They all seem genuinely curious to what she’ll say.

“Hello students of Canterlot High and Crystal Prep, welcome to the party!” Celestia greeted. All the kids cheered, but shortly after quieted down. “Although it wasn’t a normal Friendship Games, I think we can all agree it was one of the best. Every enjoy your night!”

I looked over to my side, twilight looked a bit uncomfortable. She was almost completely separated from the group.

“Hey, you alright?” I ask, but I think I know the answer.

“Yeah, I’m totally… fine.” She answered.

“No your not.” SHe looked at me surprised. “That look on your face. Trust me I probably couldn’t understand more.”

“What do you mean.”

“Wanna see a magic trick.”

“Magic.”

“Not actually. Though you feel like you don’t belong don’t you.”

“Um, maybe. You know the feeling?”

“Yeah, but not in the same way.”

“Huh?”

“I’m not the person that should say this, but let's go be social because we belong.”

I half expected her to punch me, but instead she nodded. Who knows maybe I do have a chance at friendship.

______________________________________________________________________________

My name is Dark Night, but most people call me night. I was sent to this human world when I was very young, but I do not know this yet. I spent a majority of my life feeling lost, like I don’t belong. The is Until I meet a girl, her name is Sunset Shimmer.

“Uhh, I can’t believe my parents are making me move!” I thought.

I lived in this small house since I could remember, but thanks to my dad getting a job opportunity at Canterlot High. I have to move. I had to say bye to all my teachers, at least I didn’t have any friends i need to leave. Woah, that just got depressing. Though it's true, sadly I’ve never had in friends. It worries my parents. They don’t understand, I don’t belong here, for some reason it doesn't feel right. Maybe it's just me. I sighed.

The drive to my new home was only a few hours. The new house was blue and had two floors. It was a nice house I had to admit. Guess it’s not all bad. Still, it going to be hard to move to a new school. The last school district took me 16 years to get used to. Even then I never made any friends. I wish I could have just stayed. Can’t change anything, so might as well run with it.
