Welcome To Your Worst Nightmare!

Starlight was walking towards the school in a very pissed off mood because of the order Discord gave her. Starlight entered the school and suddenly someone appeared behind her, grabbing her and running into an empty room.

“Ack! What the f****!!!” Starlight yelled.

“Shut up!” someone in a brown hoodie said.“Who are you?” she questioned the mysterious person.“Who else?” he said.“Wha- I-I don’t know! Just tell me!!”The mysterious man took off his hoodie, revealing himself. It was Discord.“Discord, what the actual hell?” Star yelled.“Stop yelling! Where is the icing-stuffed dukies?” Starlight rolled her eyes and threw the bag at Discord.“There, hip-hip-hooray. So what are we going to do?”“No, you’re not doing anything.” Discord took out a file.The woman cocked a confused brow. “What’s that?” Starlight questioned the man.“There is a new teacher at Crystal Prep and you will go and make sure that he gets everything he needs.” Starlight felt a little sick in her stomach. She knew exactly who the new teacher was. “Isn’t that Dean Cadences job?” Starlight said with an attitude, trying to get off from what he was going to sign her up for.“It is, but Principal Cinch didn’t like me hiring someone off the street.”“Then… why did she accept?”“Because even though he got fired off of every job he applied at, he has a very high I.Q. and let’s remember, Cinch loves reputation!” Discord let out a wicked chuckle.“What? I ju- But you ma- Cinch can’t- AAAARGH! Fine.” Starlight exited the room and started heading to the exit of the campus, until someone called her.“Hey! Wait! Wait up!!”Starlight looked back, growing a very smile that looked forced and as if she was holding a very special punch for a very special someone. “Yes, Discord?” she asked, forcing up the wide smile.“Do you know who you are looking for?”“Um…” Starlight thought for a second. ‘Should I tell him… Maybe not. I don’t even know what that “Snow Bullet” said was true.’ Starlight looked at Discord. “No. I don’t know who I am looking for.”“Really? Hmm, that’s quite strange to me, I thought you knew since you didn’t ask.” Discord looked at Starlight. Starlight looked back at the man, annoyed and defeated. “Anyway, who is this person?”“His name is Snow Bullet.” Starlight looked at Discord shocked.“Really now?”“Yes.” she said, annoyed. She pinched her forehead tight. “You already caught me.”“Hmm. Since he is new, please be nice with him. Maybe for once in your life you can earn a friend.” Starlight looked at Discord, shocked with her mouth hung open.“Discord... When did you turn like this? Since when did I have no friends? Aaaand why should I be friends with him?”“Turn like what?” he asked.“Just… this kind of person. Trying to make me make some friend even though I’m an adult. I mean like you are Discord, the spirit of chaos!”“Well let’s say that Snow Bullet was fired for... issues. Very extreme issues. And you need to stop using people. I mean, look how you ended up. ”“What?” Starlight looked at her clothes and hands, which made Discord stifle back a giggle.Before Starlight could finish, there was a loud explosion. Discord started to laugh out loud and dropped on the ground.“Oh my! Looks like she opened the present.” Discord kept laughing until he heard very familiar voice.“DISCORD! DISCORD, COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!! I’M GOING TO HAVE A VERY STRICT TALK WITH YOU!!!” Celestia yelled at the top of her lungs.“Sister, please calm down. It was just a pra-” Luna started to laugh. “Pfff- Ha ha ha!”“Ha ha ha, very funny. Anyways, DISCORD!!!”“Well, Starlight, I need to go now. Just go to Principal Cinch, and she will guide you from there.” Starlight nodded and left the campus.‘I told him I’ll see him later… I DIDN’T know I would actually see him later!”Suddenly, Discord popped back in her view. “Oh, and by the way, the reason how you never had friends in your life, I just took a guess.” He shot a trollish grin, and disappeared, leaving a very distraught Starlight that was clenching both fists._Snow reached the entrance of the school and took out his files. He started to read his files, started to finish his coffee, then threw the cup away in a nearby trash can. He finally entered the school.As he entered, Snow’s breath was taken just looking at the interior of the school.“Holy- How am I supposed to find the Principal's Office?” Snow looked at the whole place and panicked. “Dammit, I’m going to be late! And on the first day of the job!”Sunny Flare was walking around doing her normal rounds, making sure everyone doesn't make any trouble. As she made though the entrance, she noticed a man standing around looking at the insides of the building.“Hey!” Sunny yelled at the man. Snow looked at the girl, and started to freak out more.‘ Damn it! I’m in trouble!’ Snow started to run in the left hallway.“HEY! Wait!” Sunny Flare started to run after the man. and kept wondering who he was.-Snow kept running and went up the stair and suddenly bumped into someone.BUMP!“Ow…” the person who got hit said.“Uh… Sorry. Are you okay?”“Yes, yes, I’m fine.” Snow looked at the person on the floor, and lended them a hand. The person took his hand and started to stand. The person was much smaller and younger-looking, giving the impression that it was a student. “I haven’t seen you around, who are you?”“Well, My name is… ” Snow stopped and thought if he should share his full name.‘Wait, this is a student. I need to look professional.’“My name is Mr. Bullet, and I will be the new history teacher here at Crystal Prep. Now that I introduced myself, who are you?”The person looked at Mr.Bullet and smiled. “Well, my name is Heavenly Quill, nice to meet you Mr. Bullet!”“And it’s nice to meet you, too, Mr. Quill.” As Snow finished his introduction with Quill, he heard a voice.“Hey, you old man! Where do you think you’re  going?!?” Snow gulped hearing Sunny’s voice again. “I just need to ask you a few questions.”“Shoot.”“Well, who are you? Why were you standing in the lobby like a stranger? Are you a teacher?”Snow sighed at all the introductions he had been forced into. Snow looked up at Sunny Flare, but before he could answer, he got interrupted by a special person that goes by the name Abacus Cinch, or more commonly called through the school district as Principal Cinch.“Yes. I would like to know why you were standing in the lobby. Quill and Sunny, please go to your classes, the bell is about to ring.”“Yes, Principal Cinch.” Quill and Sunny said in unison and walked away. As they both walked away, Quill explained to Sunny who he was.“Now that they’re gone, why were you standing in the lobby? Superintendent Discord was supposed to be here to show you around.”“I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was supposed to show me around. After I got the letter of acceptance, I never heard anything about Mr. Discord.” Snow said as he rubbed the back of his neck.“I see. Well then, let’s go to my office and discuss more about your position.”Principal Cinch and Snow started to head to her office. Once they have both went to her office, they were joined by Dean Cadence and a man named Shining Armor.“Okay. Now that we are all here, Snow, do you know why you were brought to this Academy?”“No. I was just told that I would be entering this school due to having experience.”“Wrong. The reason why I accepted your application was because of your I.Q., and I heard from Discord that you are a very interesting person.”“What?” Snow stared at the lady.“Let me explain: Crystal Prep is a school of the best, and our reputation is the top. Your job here is to train the students their minds and strength to keep our reputation up. We are a school of successors. And once we are ready, we will battle once again in the Friendship Games and beat the good for nothing Canterlot High Wonderbolts!” Cinch slammed a fist on her desk, grinning with malice dripping.“Principal Cinch, don’t you think that’s a bit harsh? Er, isn’t the Friendship Games about two schools getting along? It even has ‘Friendship’ in the name.”“It brings up our reputation, and we will be know to-” Cinch was cut off by Snow.“Why? It’s not broadcasted and it’s not part of-”“Mr. Bullet, are you trying to start something?” Snow shut his mouth. “Crystal Prep with be the top, even if things like this will not count.”“What is so bad with getting the state-”“We are the only ones who should be the top. Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Bullet?” Cinch cleared her throat.“No.” Snow started to get pissed at Cinch and clenched his fist.‘Listen, ya old hag, It’s not very nice to call your fellow school good for nothing. This school has fault, too. Everyone’s not perfect.’Snow eyes started to slightly change from red to green. Snow closed his eyes and his eyes were back to it’s normal state. Cadence walked up and started to try to lighten the mood.“Anyways, Mr. Bullet, you will be teaching history for all grades. It seems in your files that this was the thing you were scored highest in your college, but everything was close. We needed a better history teacher, and this is, truthfully, what the school is mostly bad in. So, it will be nice having a person of high intelligence on such a daunting subject to teach students and help them succeed for future careers.” Cadence said with a smile.“Ok, then. Do you guys have things like homeroom?” Snow asked Cadence while having a innocent smile.“Yes, your class is waiting for you. I will give you your things on the way. Principal Cinch, do you have anything else to say?”“No, you’re all dismissed. Mr. Bullet, welcome to Crystal Prep, I expect great things from you.”“Thank you, I will leave now.”‘I hope great things from you, ya old hag.’ Snow smirked then smiled and exited the room with Cadence and Shining.-Starlight rushed into Crystal Prep and ran up the stairs to the principal's office. She started to freak out from being late, sweating and looking as if she went through a hurricane.‘Holy shit, I’m late!’ As Starlight bursted into the room, Principal Cinch jolted up and quietly sat down quietly.“Starlight! Don’t you know how to knock?” Cinch cleaned her glasses with a handkerchief and put in back on her face.“Yes, b-but I am in a hurry, I need t-”“Need to find Mr. Snow Bullet? Why he is already heading to his class.”“Oh, okay then. Can you tell me what classroom?”“Room 303B, the one near the cafe.”“Ok, thanks, old hag!” Starlight left the room heading to the classroom.“Starlight! What did I tell you about- Never mind.” she sighed. “ Young teachers these days...” Cinch then went back to doing her paperwork.‘I wonder what that man will do now. Maybe he is right, or maybe not.’-Starlight started to head to towards the cafe looking for the classroom. “299….300… 22? What? Janitor's closet…” As she passed through, moans from the closet could be heard from the outside.“Uhhhhh…..” she blushed furiously and started to run.‘Holy frick. I need to find that room, AND QUICK!!’ She walked through more halls trying to find the room.‘Why is this such a big school?!?’-Snow, Cadence, and Shining reached their destination.“303B! Ok, here is your key, and here is your computer. Now, this is some sheets for the internet here, and here are the attendance sheets.” Cadence gave Snow more sheets, files and books.“And most importantly, here is your I.D.” Snow grabbed the I.D. and smiled. “Don’t lose it.” she strictly stated. “It is strictly one of the main rules of Crystal Prep.”“Thank you.”“Now, let’s go inside. It looks like you're struggling.”“No, I’m fine, but can we go in? I’m already late.”They all entered, the classroom and were met by students everywhere, and… sports equipment? Snow put his things down on the floor, and suddenly a tennis ball went straight at him. Luckily, he was able to grab it in time.“What the? Why is there a-?” Snow looked at the ball before turning to Cadence.“This is also the storage room for sports equipment. We were going to clean it out, but I guess they never knew about the new teacher. If you can, you can move it all out to the hall? Or I can just call them and they can move it for you.” She looked at him patiently waiting for an answer.“No, I think I’ll be fine.” Snow answered.“Are you sure? I can really just-”“No, Mrs. Cadence, I’ll be fine. Thanks for looking out for me, though, I appreciate it.”“Ok, well let’s introduce you to the class.” She cleared her throat and students faced towards her. “Now, students, please settle down and go back to your seats.” They waited for a moment to make sure everyone was settled in their seats and they are quiet. “Thank you. Now that you have all settled, let me introduce you to your new homeroom teacher. His name is Snow Bullet, but please call him Mr. Bullet.” Cadence pushed Snow forward  to introduce himself.“Well, hi. My name is Snow Bullet, but please call me… No, please just call me Snow. It’s nice meeting all of you. I hope we will get along the rest of th-” Out of nowhere, Starlight burst through the door and slipped on some paper sliding towards Snow and landed on him.“Room 300000000000000000000000- Ow. wait that didn’t hurt that bad.” Cadence and Shining started to slowly slip away from the room.“Ow...oh hey, it’s you, mind getting off me? You’re a bi-” Starlight pinched his cheeks, and gave a him an evil stare.“I’m what?” Snow didn’t answer and looked away.“Hey, you two lovebirds, can we please get to the attendance? It’s almost time to move on to first period.”Starlight jolted up and with Snow.“We are not lovers!” they both said in unison. “We ar- Stop copying me! No, Stop. STOP! STOP!!!” The whole class started to laugh.“Well, I guess since you are good here, I will be going now.”“Ok then, bye!”Starlight laughed and walked out smiling.“Ok, now that this is out of the way, who is here?” Snow picked up the attendance list and started to read off the list.“Hmmm… Sugarcoat?”“Here.”“Let’s see… Lone Wolf?”“Present!”“Rapid Shadow.”“Here…”“I’m sorry, um… I heard a voice, but don’t know who it came from can you say it again.”“Here..”“I’m sorry, a little bit louder.”“Here!”“Oh, there you are. Thank you!”Rapid started to sinked into his desk while Snow continued, but felt bad for making him say he was here many times.“ Sourswe-”“Heeeerrreeee~. Watch out, old man.”“I’m only 27!”The class laughed for a bit as he continued.“Lemon Zest.”“...”“Lemon Zest?”“...”“Is there a Lemon Zest in here?”Sugarcoat leaned to the girl next to her and whispered. The girl next to her stood up and walked up to Snow. “Hello, you must be Lemon Zest. Um, can you take off your headphones?”“I’m here dude, you can listen to the music now.”“Hmmm-!” Lemon Zest put her headphones on Snow’s ears.“Oh my...Nice music.”The students and Lemon all stared in shock that he survived listening to Lemon’s music without falling on the ground. Snow smirked at all the children and his eyes started to turn green. “And now that I have this, I will confiscate it.”“What? Why?” Lemon started to tear up.“You should take off your headphones in class, I will give them back to you at the end of class.”“Yes, sir.” Lemon walked over to her seat and sat down laying her head on her desk. Snow finished up the attendance and walked over to his desk to sit down.“Ok. I think that is it. You all have free time till the end, make sure you get all your things together. And if you have any questions please raise your hand. Lemon Zest, please come get your headphones.” Snow put the headphones in his hand and waited til she got them.Lemon walked up to the desk and grabbed the headphones, and walked to her desk and hug them to death. Once everyone was ready and well packed up, they started to nod at each other and all raised their hands.“Yes, class?”“What is your relationship with Ms. Glimmer?”Snow looked at the students in shock. “Uhhh….” Snow looked at the class. “What?”Starlight walked in the classroom and stared at the class. The class went silent, and stared at Starlight. “To answer all of your questions, Snow and I bumped into each other a couple times. We aren’t friends, we are more like acquaintances and co-workers. We are nothing more.”Snow, who was still shocked, looked at the girl and back at the students and cleared at his throat. “Yes, Starlight and I are only acquaintances.” As he finished his sentence, he looked a bit heartbroken. The bell rang and all the students fled while Snow and Starlight stayed behind.‘Nothing more than acquaintances.’Snow looked at Starlight. “Why did you come back here?” he said coldly.“Well, I just wanted to see if you were alright. I mean, um… I just wanted to ask.” Starlight looked at Snow.“Uh... no. Sorry, I’m pretty busy at the moment.” Snow looked down.“Oh, OKAY. WELL I’M GOING TO GO NOW!” Starlight said really pissed off and sassily walked out of the room.“Ok… what just-” Snow blushed a little.‘What the heck was that? Girls, the greatest mystery of the world. ’Snow groaned and looked at the boxes and equipment. “Why did I say I could handle this?”
