Ponyville High
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Who was that?" I asked Applejack. Applejack looked down.
"I'm supposed to show y'all to yer classes, not make small talk." She murmured softly. I rasied an eyebrow.
"Why do you follow her?" I persisted. Applejack didn't say anything. We walked in silence for a few minutes. Until we came to the courtyard just in front of the school. Applejack looked over her shoulder at the doors of the school. I looked back wall and saw Sunset walking way. Was she following us? Why in all of Equestria would she do that?
"To answer your first question, that was Sunset Shimmer, Student Body President. After our last President graduated, Sunset was super nice and ran. So naturally everyone voted for her. Big mistake. After she got elected, she showed us her true colors." Applejack said quickly. She kept on turning her head to make sure no one else heard her, but why?
"Why did you revote for her?" I asked. Applejack looked at me. Her eyes full of sorrow.
"Because she knows secrets. Her and her sister, Diamond Tiara, can both sniff out secrets and exploit them to the whole world with one flick of a finger. And while Sunset rules High School, her sister rules the Middle School. Making everyone miserable." She said. I looked down. That's why they were afraid of her. What secrets does she even know?
"Why do she hate different ponies hanging out together?" I asked, but, Applejack shook her head .
"Nobody knows. And if we don't follow her, we can be kicked out of school." My, eyes grew wide. I rubbed my hand on my other arm.
"Why would she hate friendship that much?" Crap! I said that one out loud! Applejack shrugged.
"No one knows. All we know is, if we have friends that aren't our race, we have to be off school grounds to hang out." She sighed. "Some friendships just broke, like Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon. They stayed in touch after a while, but then Lyra found new Unicorn friends and left Bon Bon." She looked into the distance.
"So do you have any Unicorn or Pegastister friends?" I asked. Applejack looked at me then clamped a hand on my mouth. She glanced around, but there was no one there. Why was she so nervous?
"I'm not really meant to have Unicorn or Pegastister friends." She said removing her hand. It strangely smelled like apples.
"What about Rainbow Dash?" I asked. If she said 'We aren't friends,' I'll know she's lying. Applejack turned red. She bit her lip and again looked around.
"She's my best friend. She helps me out on the farm sometimes, and other times.... She crashes into me." Applejack said. Best friend? But they agured like little school girls. "She an athlete, and I'm the only one who can keep up with her. If I don't drain her out.... Let's say she would find another outlet. A bad outlet for her energy." A bad outlet? Ohh... Oh. How often did Rainbow get in trouble as a kid?
"So you hang out with her after school." Applejack looked at me. Dead in the eye.
"Can I trust ya to keep a secret?" She asked. I tore my eyes away, thinking. I thought about it for a moment, she could trust me. That's a fact, but how can I trust her? I lingered on the thought for a moment then replied.
"Yes. You can trust me." I told her. She smiled.
"A few kids and I believe that Sunset Shimmer needs her rain of power to end. We're called the EoH." She said. My eyebrows borrowed together.
"EoH?" I asked. What does EoH mean? Does it stand for something, or is it just catchy?
"Elements of Harmony. EoH." She explained. I perked up a bit. Maybe they have some more information about the Elements of Harmony, that I could learn. "We don't really know what the Elements of Harmony exactly do, but we know they're powerful. And that's what we want to become, powerful enough to overthrow Sunset." Oh, dang it! They don't know. I was about to ask another question when a loud bell rang. I looked up in surprise.
"Come on, Twilight. That's the warning bell to get to class, and yours is all the way across campus! You'll have some of members of the EoH in your classes. First period..." She paused looking at the name and room on the tiny piece of paper. "Well ya have Rainbow in frist, Second-"
"Applejack! Did you show the Newbie her classes?" Applejack and I looked up to see Sunset Shimmer standing over us like a vulture. But she wasn't alone this time. A Unicorn girl with light blue highlights mixed in with her fine blonde hair. Her vest was a dark blue and her skirt was a light turquoise. Her charm bracelet had a wand with gittler all around it. She had a scowl on her face and disapproving look in her eyes, so did Sunset. Applejack lowered the paper.
"Yeah, but-" she began.
"I said you can show her around! And you did! So go!" She said flickering her hands at her like she shooing off an annoying fly. Her follower flicked her hand at her, too.
"Hum! Go now! The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't want to be seen with a lowlife brony like you." Trixie said. I fought the urge to stand up to Trixie and defend Applejack. But I pushed down that feeling. Applejack sighed and handed me the paper.
"Bye, Twilight Sparkle." She said walking off. Why didn't she call be Twi, or Twilight. Wait, if she said my nickname Sunset would of known we were.... Ugh....becoming friends. Sunset and Trixie watched as she jogged off. Then they turned their eyes on me. I suddenly became very nervous.
"I better get going, bye!" I said running off.
