The Silent Type

Slayer finally made his way to the cafeteria, still listening to his music, after yet another tour of the school. He went through the double doors and starred at everyone, who were either too busy eating and talking or just didn't care to notice him. He didn't mind though, nor was he hungry. He scanned the room for any empty seats and finally there was one, all the way in the right corner, a table by itself. Slayer always was the silent, lonely type of guy, barely having any friends. He liked being alone, no one to talk to, no one to listen to their problems, to him, that's paradise. He put his hands in his jacket pockets and started walking towards the table, unbeknownst to him, he caught the attention of Sunset and her friends.

They looked at him before looking at each other, and all nodded.

"Hey Slayer!" yelled Sunset. Slayer couldn't hear because of the earbuds, so he just kept walking. "Must have his ear buds on again." Slayer finally made to the corner table where he took a seat and just sat there, playing on his phone.

"I feel so awful, look at him. Sitting there all alone, with no friends. I'm gonna sit with him." said Rarity as she got her food and stood up.

"Yeah, me too." said Rainbow.

"Ah'll come." said Applejack.

"For obvious reasons, she has a crush on him."

"Ah do not Rainbow. Just drop it alright?" Rainbow giggled as all the other girls grabbed their trays and walked over to Slayer's table, who was too busy on his phone to notice. Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack all sat in front of him, with Applejack being right in front of him, while Rarity, Sunset and Fluttershy all sat next to him. Slayer then finally noticed the girls sitting at the table with him, and gave all of them a confusing look, except for Applejack, he smiled, who in returned smiled back, with a slight hint of red on her face.

"I like your beanie Slayer? Did your mom make it?" asked Rarity. Slayer's smile quickly turned into a frown, a he stared at the table. The others saw this and questioned.

"What's wrong?" asked Fluttershy. Slayer kept staring at the table before looking at her with somber eyes, before staring back at the table again. He then looked at the others who in returned gave him a concerned look. He then grabbed his beanie, not taking it off though, adjusting it.

"Slayer, you don't have to speak to talk. You can write down how your feeling right now." said Sunset.

"Here, use mah notepad." said Applejack as she grabbed a notepad from her backpack and handed it to Slayer, along with a pen. Slayer grabbed the pen and paper and started writing on it. After writing he gave them to girls to read it. It read:

My parents were murdered when I was a kid, god rest their soul. My only living relative now is my big sister, who's just a year older than me.

The girls looked at him with shock and somber, who didn't return their gazes. He grabbed the notepad and wrote something else down.

Oh and the beanie was just something I found in the street when I was walking home from school on day, had my initials and everything.... coincidence, I think NOT!

The girls all looked at him with confusion at the last part, who just shrugged and smirked.

"I loved that movie!" shouted Pinkie. "I loved it when Mr. Incredible ate that slice of chocolate cake, and Elestigirl scolded him and when all of the Parr family all defeated that giant robot at the end. I heard Syndrome is going to be in the sequel." She then smiled a grin. Slayer looked at her before grabbing the notepad and wrote something else down.

You know that's a myth, right?

Seeing this caused Pinkie's hair to deflate.

"Ah'm sorry to hear 'bout yer parents sugarcube, ah really am." said Applejack.

"Cruuush." sang Rainbow. Applejack punched Rainbow on the side of her arm, slightly blushing. "Ow." Rainbow started rubbing the area she hit. Applejack then turned her attention to Slayer.

"Ah really am sugarcube. Honest truth."

"She is the Element of Honesty after all." said Pinkie. Hearing this caused Slayer to raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"What she means is that Applejack always tells the truth." said Sunset. "Pretty much the most trustful friend there is in this group." Slayer just stared at her and blinked.

"So Slayer, where do you live?" asked Rarity. Upon hearing this, Slayer grabbed his seat and jumped a little moving closer to Sunset. Rarity realize her choice of words. "I mean, not in any wierd way darling, just asking because we want to be your friends." Slayer moved his seat again.

"Look she just want to know because friends hang out at other friends' houses." said Rainbow. Slayer stared at her and moved his chair back to it's original spot. He then grabbed the pen and piece of paper and wrote down his address.

14562 Jones Avenue He then gave them to the girls who all took pictures of it.

"So are ya doin' anythin' aftah school?" asked Applejack.

"Applejack, we just met the guy. Why are you asking him out already?" asked Rainbow in a mocking tone. Applejack turned red as an apple, no pun intended.

"Ah-ah-ah-ah'm not! It was just a simple question!" she defended. She then turned to Slayer. "Yah think it was a simple question, right?"

I'm giving you everything. All that joy that can bring. Slayer had his eyes closed and was slightly bobbing his head up and down while listening to Say You'll Be There by Spice Girls, before opening his eyes at Applejack, who was staring at him. He took out of the earbuds and gave her his full attention.

"Did yah hear anything wat we just said?" asked Applejack. The kid shook his head, causing Applejack to have a feeling of relief.

"So are you doing anything after school?" asked Fluttershy. He looked at her before grabbing the pen and paper.

Are you asking me out? Fluttershy turned red as she read the note.

"N-no. I'm not." she whispered. Slayer raised an eyebrow.

"She means if you're doing anything after school so we can hang out." said Sunset. Slayer moved his head in a 'oh that kind of way' motion. He shook his head. "Oh, do you want to hang out with us? We're going to sugarcube corner." The kid then grabbed the pen and paper.

What is that and what time?

"Sugarcube corner is one of the most popular bakery's ever in Canterlot. Many people go there and hang out. We're planning on heading there at 4:30, 2 hours after school starts." said Pinkie. Once again, Slayer got the pen and paper again.

Just pick me up at my house, that is that I'm not sleeping.

"Sweet!" yelled Rainbow. Just then, the school bell rang, and soon everyone around them started getting up from their seats, throwing away left over food.

"Well it's been nice talking to you darling, even though we did all the talking. We'll see you after school." said Rarity as all the girls left, with the exception of Applejack, who just sat in front of Slayer. Slayer stared at her and she stared at him. He smiled a warm smile at her, causing her to blush a little.

"If Rainbow Dash says anythin' about me, don't listen to her, alright?" said Applejack. Slayer saluted with two fingers, making Applejack to smile. "See ya soon, and keep the notepad and paper." She grabbed her backpack and walked off, leaving Slayer to himself. He then pressed play on his music again.

This I swear, I give you everything! And, all that I want from you, is a promise you will be there sang Spice Girls.
