Love Attempts

Ding!!!

"Finally!" You groaned having grown bored if today's math lesson. Seriously, who the hell needs to know about slope? Why couldn't Math be easy like Science? Speaking of Science it's that time of the day again.

Attempt #24

24th time a charm right?

Feeling confident enough you walked in Mr. Cranky Doodle's class and saw your future sole mate sitting by her lonesome. Of course the only exciting thing in her life right now is you.

Chuckling, you ran your fingers through your jet black hair and sat down in your seat. Although this time Rarity didn't move away from you like she always does.

'I guess that's a start.' You thought as you began to pay attention to the teacher.

"Alright class, today we will learn about.....Cells!" He may have looked happy but deep down you knew he didn't like cells either. "Open your textbooks to page 467."

Of course it had to be textbook work. You lazily attempted to grab one of the stacked textbooks on the table. Just as your hand was on the top textbook you felt something warm coming from the top of your hand.

Following the source of the sudden warmth you found Rarity's hand on top of yours. Smirking cockily, you turned to the eloquent teen who looked mortified of the outcome.

"Rarity if you wanted to hold hands you could've just asked....I don't mind." Step one complete! It couldn't have gone better even if it was an accident. Blushing madly, Rarity quickly lifted her hand away from yours and turned away.

"Don't be like that Rarebe-"

"Don't call me that! Just...pass me a text book will you?" Following Rarity's request you passed her a textbook and opened your own.

'Unicellular cells? Multicellular cells? Well at least it's something new.' You thought looking at page 467. Turns out today's lesson wasn't bad at all, it was interesting.

At one point you saw Rarity laying her head down with the same exact hand that touched your under her head. Even more strange was seeing her nuzzle the hand with her cheek.

"Hey chuckles! I'm talking to you!" Guess you've been staring to long at Rarity.

"You know my name ain't chuckles right?" Who the hell calls their kid Chuckles anyways.

"It should be judging by your behavior. Are you going to answer the question or not?" What question?

"Uhhh, can you say it again please?" You asked politely.

"Since you said please." Mr. Cranky Doodle admired your manners. "What's the difference between an Unicellular organism and a Multicellular one."

"Oh that's simple! A multicellular organism consists of multiple cells while an Unicellular organism is by its own."

"That's correct! Now let's turn to the next pa-"

Ding!!!

"Oh it seems like we ran out of time! We'll pick this up tomorrow." You including the rest of the class scurried out of the room and headed to the cafeteria. Once inside you took your place in line and waited until it was your turn.

"Hello there deary how's it going today?" There's the one person who actually care about your day. You found it funny.

"It's actually going swell! Thanks for asking Mrs. Smith."

"No problem dear." She placed a bowl of fruit salad on your tray. "Now go on and enjoy your meal!" As soon as you walked out of the line you spotted the six girls sitting at your table. Once again, Your Table! Sighing you took your tray and sat at a new table that's been empty for quite some time.

It didn't take too long for them to notice your absence.

"Heya Rarity where's your boyfriend? Heh heh" Rainbow Dash laughed as soon as she saw Rarity turn red.

"That wasn't nice at all Rainbow! How would you like it if we teased you too?" Rarity smiled at Applejack's attempts of silencing Rainbow Dash.

"I wouldn't know cause I got nothing to do with him!" Applejack pondered for a few seconds trying to recall what you have said two days ago.

Then it came to her.

"As Ah recalled two days ago he mentioned somthin' about you losin' to him. By the sound of it, it sounded like you got destroyed." The look on Dash's face told her everything.

"H-h-how do you know about that!?" She yelled causing students to stare at her in confusion.

"Ah thought you got nothing to do with him." Busted.

Rainbow Dash knew that she'd be caught sooner or later. Maybe there's a way to deny it.

"W-what are you talking about AJ? Why would I lie to my best friends?" Rainbow Dash did her best to look innocent while also staring directly at Applejack.

"Don't lie right in front of mah face Rainbow." It was too late for Rainbow Dash, now she had to spill it.

"Fine. Back then we used to be best friends.....that was until we were in our freshman year." Rainbow Dash sighed sadly remembering "that" day.

"What happened during freshman year?" Rarity asked suddenly intrigued at the conversation. She couldn't tell if that was a good thing.

"It was during soccer tryouts....we both wanted to be the team captain so the coach made us go 1 on 1 with each other which he beat me 5 to 2." This made Applejack laugh out loud.

"It's not funny!" Rainbow Dash snapped at Applejack causing her to stop laughing.

"Ah'm sorry Rainbow, please continue."

"Where was I? Or right! After he beat me in that soccer match the coach chose me instead of him because of my determination." Rainbow Dash explained puzzling the rest of the girls.

"I don't get it, he beat you but the coach chose you?" Fluttershy spoke for the first time today.

"Yeah....that surprised me too. I thought he was happy for me considering that he congratulated me afterwards. But he showed his true colors at the game when he took off his jersey and left. Soon after he ignored me until three days ago. I still don't know why he did that."

"Tell us what you did during the game." Applejack asked.

"I was trying to show everyone that I can be the team leader so I took control of the ball throughout the game. Next thing I know more than half the team quit and the coach had to stop the season to look for more players." Everyone at the table stared at Rainbow with a dumbfounded look on their face.

Is she really that clueless?

Just as Applejack was going to tell Rainbow Dash the truth You sat down at the table beside Rarity.

"Wassup Rarebear? Ya missed me?" Right on cue Liepie left in a hurry leaving you confused once more. Although you decided to shrug it off and focused your attention on your crush.

"No I did not miss you. Now will you leave us alone?" There it is again. That grim feeling was coming up again as those words took affect on you. So you forced your smile to come back without anyone noticing.

"Only if you take up on m-"

"The answer is still no."

Attempt 24 Failed

"Fucking hell." You whispered silently.

"Just the person we were looking for." You heard Applejack say causing you to chortle.

"Heh you don't hear that everyday.....at least for me. So what did ya need?"

"Well Rainbow Dash here..." Applejack patted Dash's shoulder. "...wanted to talk to you for a moment." Rainbow's eyes shot wide open at what Applejack just did.

"She did? Well what do you have to say Dashie?" Laughs were shared around the table because of that "name" you gave to Rainbow Dash.

"D-dashie?" Applejack managed to say between laughs. Rainbow Dash on the other hand was not so amused.

"It's that stupid nickname he gave me when we were kids." The mention of kids made everyone stop their laughter.

"Kids? Just how long have you two known each other?" This remark made you laugh. Getting up you took a seat next to Dashie and got her in a headlock while giving her a noogie.

"I known Dashie since we were tiny tots." You noogied her harder. "Still as defenseless as I remember."

"Gah! Get off of me!" You let her go as you heard your watch beep.

"That's my go!" You got up and ran to the door. "See ya Dashie, see ya Rarebear!" You shouted exiting the cafeteria. Little did you know what was in store for you later that day.
