Love Attempts

The following day

DING!!!!!

"Hallelujah! Math is finally over!" You shouted running out of Ms. Cheerilee's math class. All these complicated numbers and square roots are impossible.

Next up Science Class. The only class that you get to see Rarity minus lunch. Today is a new day and a new day meant another attempt to woo Rarity.

You pulled out your sketchbook and wrote down the following words.

Attempt #23

Closing the sketchbook you quickly made your way to Mr. Cranky Doodles class not wanting to get your 3rd tardy. 3 tardies meant detention, such a stupid rule.

DING!!!!

The bell rung just as you stepped foot in the classroom.

"Your late." The toupee teacher said sternly.

"Technically both my feet were in the room before the bell rung so I'm not late." You declared knowing all the rules this school has. You bested the teacher twice this week.

"Fine....just go take your seat." Pumping your fist in the air you took your seat beside Rarity. Just as you did Rarity shifted herself away from you bringing down your mood. Today's been a rough day for your tastes anyways so you decided to skip the flirting.

"Alright students today we will be learning about Newtons laws of motion. Can anyone tell what they are?" Seriously? Everyone should've known this by now and yet they're still teaching it.

To pass the time you once again took out your sketchbook and turned to a specific page. This drawing consists of your parents...oh how you missed those days. The drawing was still incomplete because you couldn't find it in your heart to see it.

"I miss you guys." You whispered admiring your drawing. You grabbed your fathers special pencil and drew like your life depended on it.

"Darling."

"Darling."

"Darling!" You snapped out of your artistic trance and looked at Rarity.

"What is it?" You asked annoyed that she made you lose focus of your sketching. Rarity seemed taken back at your sudden behavior which was lacking it's happiness.

"I'm waiting." She impatiently replied.

"For what?!"

Mr. Cranky Doodle heard you talking and asked you to step out of the classroom. You shot Rarity an angry look before grabbing your things and walking out the classroom. Not before you slammed the door shut.

"Fuck this shit!" You yelled kicking a random locker out of rage.

Mr. Cranky Doodle heard you from inside and told the class to wait. Then he stepped out of the classroom and confronted you.

"That behavior is highly inappropriate! Go to the principals office NOW!" He shouted causing you to flinch. You've never seen him this mad before. Grumbling, you nodded taking your stuff and headed towards Principal Celestia's offfice.

Seeing the door titled: Principals Office, you kicked the door open catching Principal Celestia by surprise.

"Out of everyone in the entire school I didn't expect you here." As if you cared, you told her what occured during Science and why you were sent here.

"With this new information I don't see any reason to punish you for something you didn't do."

"Exactly!" You shouted raising your hands in the air. "Oh sorry for my rude attitude Principal Celestia today has been rough." You apologized rubbing the back of your neck.

"Really? If you don't mind can you tell me what's on your mind?" No point from keeping this a secret. Besides it'll be for the best, especially when someone is actually offering to hear out your problems.

"I don't see a problem with that." You pulled out your sketchbook and hesitantly turned to that page and showed it to the principal. "These were my parents before they....passed, they got into a car accident on they're way to pick me up from school."

"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear about that." She solemnly adressed. "I must say I love this drawing. How did you learn to draw like that?" She asked admiring your drawings.

You chuckled. "Heh, my dad taught me how to do realistic drawings when I was 10, judging by your reaction he did a great job teaching."

"Your father must've been a great person. Just remember not to let your emotions rage out." She warned giving you back your sketchbook.

"I'll try Principal Celestia.....thanks for the talk, I feel much better telling someone about this." you thanked her before walking out of her office.

DING!!!!

Well, there's the bell meaning class was already over. You changed your path and headed towards the cafeteria. You arrived early which means the line will be shorter.

"Or no line at all." No line was seen so you walked over there and waited for Mrs. Smith to arrive.

"Hello there deary!" Speaking of Mrs. Smith there she is right now. "How's your day going?"

"I'll be honest with you, it hasn't been all that great." She raised an eyebrow wanting you to continue. "But I'm feeling much better now." You assured her.

"If you say so, just to make sure I'll gave you a slice of apple pie." You perked up immediately at the sound of apple pie.

"Really?" She nodded placing the slice on your tray. "Wow! Thanks a bunch Mrs. Smith!" You happily walked over to your table. Life, always throwing the bad things at you and then owing it to you later. You sat there enjoying your slice of apple pie until....

"Hello darling." You looked up to see Rarity and her friends setting their trays down on your table. Your Table. You didn't appreciate the fact that they are just now sitting with you.

"In case you didn't know I like to sit....alone." You grimly informed them wanting to be alone like always.

"That's part of the reason wh-"

"Cut to the chase Rarity." You cut her off. "Unless it's out of pity I would like you girls to leave." Rarity hung her head in shame knowing that she caused all of this in the first place.

Applejack decided to speak up. "Hey calm down partner we just want to talk to ya."

"Really." They all nodded but you were still tense. "You." You pointed a finger at Sunset Shimmer. "Leave."

"What? Why me?!" Did she really just ask that?

"You know what you did." Your fists started to clench out of anger. "Leave". Before you knew it she got her tray and went back to her own table.

"Good." Your whole body softened up, letting your shoulders slump down. Now with Sunset Shimmer out of the way you can finish up your apple pie. Grabbing a knife you carefully sliced off a piece of the pie, then you grabbed your fork and stabbed the pie before eating it blissfully.

When you finished chewing the piece you noticed that the five girls were staring at you. "Well? If you want to talk to me then do it. I got places to be ya know."

"Why in tarnation were you eating like that?" Applejack asked as the rest listened on.

"You got a problem with how I eat?!" You half shouted which lead to Applejack raising both her hand in protest while shaking her head. "Good, geez you people act like eating properly is a problem. Now I insist, you better get to talking before I go."

"R-right...." Applejack stammered still taking in the effects of your scolding. "Well we want to ask you why you're such in a foul mood righ-"

You interrupted the farm girl. "Uh, last time I checked that's my own business...not yours."

Applejack was about to protest until Rarity raised her hand making her stop.

"Darling I want to deeply apologize for my actions. It just felt weird when you didn't......you know." She looked at you hoping you would catch on.

You didn't.

"When I didn't do what?" You questioned increasing Rarity's nervousness.

"You know...."

"I don't know."

"......you know" She gulped anxiously. "Similar with the 'gravity joke' you made yesterday." That caught you by surprise. Rarity missing your flirting.

"Miss Rarity, do my ears deceive me? You hearing this Bpinkie?" Like yesterday Bpinkie Liepie fled from the table.

'Wierd, but whatever.'

Feeling the happiness well up from your insides, you nonchalantly made your way to the seat beside Rarity. Sitting down you wickedly smiled at her."You missed my....jokes didn't you? You could've just asked ya know."

"N-no I d-di- oh forget it! Is there any way you could forgive me?" Just the perfect time to ask her out again.

"You know my offer still stands...."

"Anything except that."

Attempt #23 Failed

".....darn it, well you can't blame a guy for trying. How about a hug then?" You asked hopefully.

"Uhh I don't see a problem with that darling." Score!

You opened your arms out wide and waited. Looking at Rarity she seemed unsure as to what to do. You should help out with that.

"Bring it in Rarebear!" You wrapped your arms around her and pulled Rarity closer to you. Soon after you could feel another pair of arms wrap around your side. As you were enjoying the hug the beeping from your watch was heard meaning it was time to go!

When you tried to break the hug you felt yourself being pulled back by Rarity.

"You can let go now." You blurted out not wanting to be late again. Slowly Rarity released the hug with a forced look on her face. Maybe she was trying to hide the fact that she liked it.

"I got to go!" You took the remainder of the apple pie and stuffed it in your pocket. "See ya later Rarebear!" You happily said as you jogged your way out of the cafeteria.

The remainder of the girls sat in silence. Rarity refused to make eye contact as she clutched her right arm witg her left hand while looking down at the floor. It was obvious to everyone at the table that Rarity was embarrassed.

"So....." Rainbow Dash muttered loudly enough breaking the silence. "....Rarebear huh?" This caused Rarity to tighten the hold on her right arm blushing faintly.

"Give her a break Rainbow Dash. It's bad enough that her boyfriend teased her in front of us. Don't be rubbin' it in her face." Applejack thought she did the right thing defending her friend from Rainbow's shenanigans, but she made it worse.

"B-boyfriend!?" Rarity shouted banging her fist on the table which caused Fluttershy to yelp. "As if! He isn't even my type! He's merely some guy testing my patience."

"He's not your boyfriend? Ah'd be lying if Ah said that I didn't believe those rumors."

"What rum-" Rarity was interrupted as Pinkie mysterious popped up behind the table and got all up on Rarity's face.

"Soooo you're saying that he's single?" Pinkie Pie asked while the rest of the girls recovered from the scare.

"In other words yes. Why do you ask?"

"Noooo reason! Wellgottogoseeyougirlslater!" Pinkie Pie raced out of the cafeteria with a huge grin on her face leaving the others bewildered.
