Ponyville High School
Stone Cold
Previous ChapterScootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle were visiting each other's dorms, decorated by every student's request. Each pony's dorm was different from the other. Apple Bloom's dorm had a simple color: light red for the walls, and a simple, fine wood floor. There was some white colored furniture, a bright red wardrobe, a white, silky couch, a bed with a red blanket and white sheets and pillows, a plain wooden desk and fancy wooden chair with a silky cushion. It was simple, but fancy. There was a few other decorations but they had been brought from home as a care package from Applejack as soon as she heard her sister was away in a boarding school. Sweetie Belle's dorm had a violet colored walls, white carpet with a rainbow rug not far from the bed, which was almost all pink. There was a few plain paintings of nature and landmarks all over Equestria on the walls. There was one simple chair that was a violet color and a pink color, it was wooden with some fine carvings of musical notes on the edges. there was a colorful record player on a small table by the door. Scootaloo's dorm had bold purple colored walls, also decorated by orange and yellow lightning bolts stuck on the walls. There was a simple blue carpet. There was orange 2 couches, one by a blue desk and a chair, the other not far from the door. There was a blue-framed, large portrait of Ponyville on a wall. They were all sitting on the bed of Sweetie Belle's dorm, hanging out.
"Hey guys?" Scootaloo frowned.
"Yeah?" Her friends replied.
"Do you think, Shimmer Stone, was behind us being punished?" Scoots questioned.
"No, why?" Apple Bloom tilted her head at Scootaloo in confusion.
"I... She wants me to join her. Really, badly. I think she was so desperate she vandalized the school cafeteria and blamed it on us!" Scoots started to shout, but the two other fillies silenced her, Apple Bloom covered her mouth with her hoof.
"Shut up Scootaloo. you want to get us in even more trouble?" Apple Bloom glared at her, but then she managed to calmed down, and smiled.
"Let's just not worry about school until tomorrow. I'm, so tired." Sweetie Belle yawned.
Moments later, there was a knock on the door.
knock, knock
Scootaloo opened the door, to find Shimmer Stone and her crew.
"Hello. Mind if we drop by before lights out?" Frizzy Fire smiled. Fair Weather laughed, and Shimmer Stone, with a cold and smiling expression, strutted into the room.
"I was just thinking that Scootaloo and I wanted to confess something. Right, best friend?" Shimmer added. The two other fillies behind Scoots were shocked, and nearly glared at Scootaloo.
"I will never leave my friends for you! You may see some potential in me to be another lackey for your popularity, but I refuse. I cannot go along with this! You can't buy my friendship, and you can't blackmail your way for my friendship either, like you obviously did with Frizzy Fire and Fair Weather! You're a cold, heartless, backstabbing devil foal! I'm shocked you're even at this school, or Diamond Tiara's cousin for that matter! You two are nothing alike! She was now our friend, but you just try to buy your friends and throne on top of every pony in this school. You're willing to step on anyone you can, so you can keep claiming more and more praise, but it gets you NOTHING! NOTHING! And it will never earn you me, or my closest friends! So go to hell where you belong!" It was the first time she had ever cursed. She was crying about her shameful act inside, but she managed to keep the tears and fear in. Scoots held her wings out in front of her friends, held her head high, and stared right into Shimmer's eyes, strong and proud. The room automatically fell so silent, you could here a unicorn cast a spell. You could hear a pin drop. You could even hear the sounds of the six foals, heavily breathing at each other in anger and shock. Scootaloo felt a heavy smack on her face, when she looked in a mirror, she saw that she had been hit by Shimmer Stone's hoof. She stared, terrified, into her cruel, large pupils in her eyes.
"How DARE you speak to your Student Council President that way! You will pay for what you just did... Some day, you will pay..." She said that last part, softly but harshly, as she and her friends marched off down the hallway to their own dorms.
The next day was pretty peaceful until they were called to the Principal's office again after breakfast in the cafeteria, to hear what she made up for their punishment. The three foals sadly trudged across the stairs and halls until they got to the office. The odd thing was, Shimmer Stone was there when they got inside the office. The four fillies each hopped onto a seat, got comfy, and prepared for the bad news.
"i could never believe, that one of my top students. One of my most, prized, students. Would sink so low to fill up the high standards we have here. Socially and academically." The Principal glared at them.
"Principal Spell, I-I can explain-" Scootaloo was interrupted.
"There is no need." The Principal snapped.
"You, aren't the foals in trouble." The Principal continued. "She is." She pointed directly at Shimmer Stone.
"Guilty..." Shimmer hung her head.
"This, you three need to see." Spell shows them several clips of their interactions that ended up on camera, how cruel she was. But the most shocking footage, was when they saw Shimmer herself vandalize the cafeteria...
"I don't understand." Apple Bloom questioned.
"Well, you should understand perfectly. I know I do." Principal Spell handed Shimmer Stone a large, paper with a bunch of words on it. "You three are excused from your punishment I was meant to give you. As for you..." Spell's voice started to become snappy and bold. "Shimmer Stone, for your several crimes at this school, you are hereby EXPELLED from Ponyville High School. The school security will escort you out, bring you your stuff, and leave you outside for you to wait to get a ride back home. I can assure you after your family see this about what you did, they will be very disappointed in you. Go!" The Principal sends in two buff colts, and Shimmer Stone follows them outside the campus, hanging her head.
