Blame it on the rain

The alarm buzzed in Fluttershy's ear making her jolt up. She sighed as she got ready for school. Looking in the mirror one last time with a determined smile as she headed out.

Finally arriving at school she got a text from Rainbow Dash saying she would be coming in during lunch. So focused on the text she didn't notice someone in front of her. She crashed into them causing them to drop all the books they were both holding.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" The other girl said pushing up her glasses and helping Fluttershy pick up her books.

"Oh no it was completely my fault I wasn't paying attention." Fluttershy said softly.

The two girls helped one another and stood up in unison. Fluttershy looked down and kicked the ground lightly as they stood in awkward silence.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle I'm new here." The girl offered her hand to Fluttershy and she shyly shook it.

"Um....I'm Fluttershy." She spoke lowly only slightly audible.

The warning bell rung and a heard of students came down the hall. Fluttershy and Twilight looked at eachothers schedule. They had homeroom third and fifth period together.

Fluttershy felt very proud of herself. She finally made a new friend by herself. Sure Rainbow introduced her to Applejack and Pinkie Pie, but this was the first friend she made on her own. Perhaps this wouldn't be that bad of a school year.

After forth Fluttershy and Twilight met up with her friends. Applejack was sitting in the far right with Pinkie Pie and another girl Fluttershy didn't recognize.

"Oh hello girls this is Twi-" She was interrupted by the girl beside Pinkie Pie.

"Twilight!" The girl got up giving Twilight a hug as she giggled excitedly.

"Rarity?" Twilight hugged her back lightly. "I thought you were moving to Manehattan!"

Manehattan."

"Oh it's a long story Darling do sit down." Rarity said sitting beside Pinkie once more.

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow as she looked around to find Rainbow Dash who was no where to be seen.

"Have you seen Rainbow yet?" Fluttershy asked as her eyes continued to scan the cafeteria.

"Who's Rainbow Dash?" Twilight rose an eyebrow at the unfamiliar name.

"I am!" A voice came from behind Fluttershy.

Fluttershy smiled and turned to meet Rainbow's eyes. She could instantly tell something was wrong, but she knew Rainbow probably wanted to tell her in private so she didn't ask.

Rainbow tried her best to put on a smile and it fooled most, but not Fluttershy. Rainbow sat next to Rarity and smiled at the two new girls sitting with her friends.

"Hey I'm Rainbow Dash but I guess you already know that!" She said proudly.

Fluttershy smiled and took a seat next to her friends. After everyone was introduced they chatted for the remainder of lunch.

Afterward Fluttershy and Twilight walked to there fifth period art class.

The teacher seemed nice. She allowed the students to sit where they liked.

Fluttershy decided to sit by the window and Twilight sat beside her. The late bell soon rang and Rainbow came bursting through the door.

"Sorry I'm late I had to take care of some business." Rainbow explained as she took the empty seat next to Twilight. Fluttershy frowned ever so slightly, but corrected herself.

-Come now Fluttershy it's your fault you took the window seat. Plus it's not like you have to worry about anything Twilight is a nice girl.- Fluttershy thought to herself fixing her attention back to the teacher.

After the final bell rang Fluttershy decided to ask Rainbow what happened this morning. She ran to her locker and quietly .

Rainbow Dash and her had seventh period together which was gym class, but Rainbow needed to talk to the coach and told Fluttershy to wait by her locker.

Soon enough Rainbow came sprinting down the hall. Fluttershy couldn't help but smile at her friend.

As she came to a stop at her locker she quickly did the combination with ease. Fluttershy just stood therr in silence. Her admiration toward her athletic friend went far beyond what Rainbow could ever think. If only she knew the truth.

Rainbow grabbed her snapback and put on her sweater that said '20% cooler'. After closing her locker she turned toward Fluttershy with a smirk. Fluttershy blushed at the attractive rainbow haired girl

"Uh...Shy?" Rainbow said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh um...sorry what?" Fluttershy smiled in embarrassment.

"I asked if you were ready?" Rainbow said her voice seemed irritated or annoyed.

"Oh yes I'm sorry " Fluttershy said looking down her heart hurt whenever Rainbow seemed aggravated with her

"Look Shy I'm sorry I just had a rough day." Rainbow said sighing.

"What happened earlier?" Fluttershy asked with a worried expression.

"Lets get to your house first I don't really want to talk out in public." Rainbow had an unreadable expression as she walked out the school's glass door.
