Fractured Harmony

     I never wanted to go to Canterlot High. I always thought it was crappy and full of nothing but assholes. Did something change my mind about it? Yeah, I guess you could say that. It happened on my first day as I was heading to Principal Celestia's office to get my schedule. She asked me to take a seat and wait for another student to show me around the campus. There was only one available out of the hundreds that were here. My heart almost did a leap when he arrived. There was something familiar about him. He wearing a dark blue denim jean jacket, a black t-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and to top it all off, blue all-star converse high tops. His eyes were dark brown, and his hair black. He looked over at me and smiled.

   "Hello." He said, extending his hand to help me up. "Galaxy Nebula, President of the Creative Minds club." He told me. I shook his hand, smiling, but I couldn't help noticing my heart was racing very fast.

   "Crystal Harmony." I replied. Calm down, Crystal. It may be Galaxy, but how do you know he remember's you? I asked myself.

   "New student?" He asked me. I nodded in reply. "Well then, you'll love it here at CHS." He smiled. Celestia told him to show me around campus. He nodded. "Right away, Principal Celestia." He said. He slung my bag over his shoulder so I didn't have to carry it.

    "Thank you." I smiled. He smiled back and we began walking the hallways. Then, a voice called out.

    "Oh, Galaxy! There you are!" The voice giggled. We turned around to see a girl in a purple blouse, white pants, and black heels with purple hair and blue eyes racing towards us. Galaxy made a sound in his throat that sounded like growling. The girl inspected me skeptically. "This is the new student?" She asked. Galaxy nodded. The girl smirked. "Well, I know where she belongs here at CHS." She said. I was nervous. What did she mean? I asked myself.

     "Back off, Rarity." Galaxy told the girl. "Principal Celestia asked me to show Crystal around campus. It's her first day here and Principal Celestia wants her to get acquainted with all of her teachers." He added. Rarity huffed.

     "Very well, then. Just remember this, Crystal." She said like my name left a bad taste in her mouth. "Galaxy won't always be around to protect you. When he's not, watch yourself." Rarity smirked and flipped her hair, swaying as she walked away. Galaxy sighed.

     "Rarity Belle." He told me. "Sister to Sweetie Belle, and to some guys, the prettiest girl in the school. As to me, the rudest." He explained. Then, something clicked in my head. I surveyed Galaxy's face and ran a matching game inside my head. Soon, a face exactly like Galaxy's popped up, and I gasped, almost dropping my notebook. Galaxy looked at me with concern. "Hey, you OK, Crystal?" He asked me. I couldn't even speak. My heart was racing about 100 times per minute, pounding in my chest with both surprise and anxiety.

      "Gal...Galaxy?" I asked him. "Is that you?" I looked at him with surprise still. He looked at me and gasped.

      "Crystal?" He asked me, completely surprised. I gasped and laughed, tackling my childhood friend in a tight hug. I was literally on the verge of tears because I thought I had lost Galaxy forever.

      "Where the hell have you been?!" I asked as I socked him in the arm. He chuckled and I hugged him again. "Oh my god, I thought I'd never see you again." I told him. He comforted me, holding me in his arms.

       "To be honest, Crys, neither did I." He admitted, resting his chin on my head. I always loved it when he called me Crys. It was his special nickname for me. He was a bit taller than me by a few inches. I came up to his eyes, but when I wore heels, which I don't do often, I was almost as tall as him. I was still in tears, but tears of joy now. I couldn't believe that my Galaxy was standing right in front of me. Later that day, we were eating lunch when Sunset, Twilight, and Fluttershy walked over along with Flash, who made Twilight blush.

       "Galaxy, when did you move back to Ponyville?" I asked, taking a bite of my salad. I always ate healthy. Galaxy pondered for a moment.

       "Hmm. Well, about, I don't know, two years ago?" He shrugged. "All I know is that I was completely surprised when my mom said we were moving back to Ponyville." He told me. He then glanced around me and saw Rarity waving at him. He growled silently. "I swear, that Rarity wants me to be her boyfriend. When she has a boyfriend, all she wants to do is nothing but sex, sex, and more sex." He sighed. I almost choked on my lunch. Good thing I was nothing like Rarity or my mom would've killed me. After lunch we were in our science class with our professor, Dr. Hooves. He was a middle aged man with brown hair, brown eyes, wore a brown pinstripe suit and white converse high-tops. According to the student of the week wall right next to me, I could see Galaxy was his favorite student so far.

        "Right then!" Dr. Hooves smiled, pulling up today's lesson. It was on Astronomy. Oh man, I suck at Astronomy! I groaned to myself. "Now then, class, what is the process that converts hydrogen into heavier elements?" He asked. Galaxy's hand shot up almost immediately. "Mr. Nebula?" Dr. Hooves asked.

         "Nuclear Fusion." Galaxy smiled. Dr. Hooves clapped his hands.

          "Excellent!" He laughed. "You see, class?" He walked over to Galaxy. "Now this is the kind of student who pays attention!" Dr. Hooves chuckled. The rest of the class groaned and muttered curses at Galaxy. I felt bad for him, knowing he had to put up with that every day he had this class. The bell rung and Galaxy cleaned up his desk. He walked out the door and I hustled after him, adjusting my school supplies.

           "Where to now?" I asked him. He checked his schedule and groaned.

            "Gym." He told me. I was confused.

           "What's wrong with Gym?" I asked Galaxy. He sighed.

           "Rarity's in that class." Galaxy explained. I gulped. That meant I was going to be in the same locker room with her, unless this school had separate changing areas. As I walked into the girls locker room, I was surprised. It had separate shower booths with lockable doors, separate changing booths for complete privacy, and it was nice and clean. Now this is more like it. I thought to myself. I walked into a booth and got out my gym clothes. Rarity was a few booths over humming. I sighed, slipping my shirt over my head and getting dressed for gym.
