School
Old Friends, Same Enemies
Previous ChapterNext ChapterShe had a deadpan expression on her face until she spotted me. We stared at each other for a few seconds until I turned my head away. Ugh, my face felt hot.
Ms. Pommel spoke up,
"Class, I have an announcement to make. We seem to have a student. Apparently, our new student here was late for enrollment but she managed to catch up before enrollment closed." She smiled.
"Her name is Vinilli…" she seemed to stop herself from laughing, "…uh yes, Zipporwhill here will be seating next to… ah, Featherweight." She pointed to the seat next to me.
My eyes went wide. She'll be sitting next to me?
She walked over to the seat next to me but I could feel her glanced towards me and slowed down a bit when she was in front of me.
She sat down and her deadpan expression came back.
"Okay class, I need you to take out your English books and turn to page 7. We'll be learning about grammar."
*Some time later*
I wouldn't say class was hard but I wouldn't say it wasn't easy either. It was so-so. The bell rang and everyone rushed out for lunch.
I was putting my pencil case back into my backpack when Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootloo came.
"Ugh…I think my brain just melted." Scootloo groaned.
I laughed.
"It wasn't that bad, I think. You just need to memorize them then you're good to go." I said insuring her.
"Psshh, says the guy who's a B grade student? Of course you say that." She said with a laugh.
As we talked, I saw from the corner of my eye that the girl next to me was already done packing up and was ready to go to the cafeteria.
Well, she didn't seem to have any friends here so I guess I'll invite her to have lunch with us.
"Hey-!" I started but that D.T beat me to it.
"Hi! I'm Diamond Tiara. You wanna have lunch with me and my friend?" she said sweetly.
Silver Spoon giggled right after she said that. Ugh, if I just had the courage to shut those annoying laughs up, I would've done that years ago.
"Uh…" The girl bowed her head and glanced towards me. I felt my face go warm again. Dang it. Those green eyes were so tantalizing.
"Hump! Okay then! Let's go!" Diamond Tiara pulled her by the arm and dragged her to the cafeteria.
Her lacy followed, giggling loudly. The girl looked back to me one last time before she disappeared down the corridor.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Applebloom grinning like they're thinking of something evil.
"W-what?" I said.
"We saw that~." she said in a sing-song voice.
"Featherweight, you can't hide it. We all saw it! You were blushing when that girl looked at you!" Sweetie Bell squealed.
"Oh my gosh, that girl likes you! I can feel it!" Scottaloo said as she adjusted her hair.
My face went red.
"W-w-what? Of course not! I mean, her eyes were just wandering around the room. It wasn't anything special! And I wasn't blushing!"
They all laughed evilly. Ah shucks... I have a feeling that the following days here at school was going to be heck of a ride. Before I could say anything else, they ran off. I guess I'll just eat by myself then.
I head over to the cafeteria and they were serving cold sandwiches and some fruit. The Lunch lady handed me the food and sat down at a table. As I begin to eat, I heard a familiar voice among everyone else's.
"Hey, Applebloom, did you hear?"
"Yeah. I did Sweetie Bell. I DID."
"Dang, I knew it. I kept seeing him look at her since this morning at the bus." Scootloo said laughing.
"Don't remind me. I saw it too."Applebloom replied.
"What're we gonna do, girls? It's obvious Feathers likes her. We promised each other that we would help anyone in need. If we don't, then that promise will be void." Sweetie Bell said.
"Ugh, don't worry. We will make sure that promise is never broken. I promise. She's By the end of the week, those two will be together like glue is to paper."
It was obvious they weren't aware I was sitting behind them. I was about to intervene but Applebloom spoke.
"So what can we do to get them together?"
I don't know why but school ended quickly and all I remember was me agreeing to meet them at the mall. I don't even know why they were so excited to go anyways. As the bus drop me off at my house, I waved at them an went inside.
I walked inside my room hearing my mom call,
"If you're hungry there's leftover spaghetti on the fridge. Your dad and I will be working overtime. Do you want anything before we go?"
"I'm okay, mom! Thank you!" I answered and dropped all my stuff on the floor and locked my door.
I flopped down on my bed and hugged action figure close. After all these years, I still had him by my side. I never even bought another toy other than him. I loved him a lot. Up to now I still talked to him about my school life and other stuff. Ever since I learned how to take photos, I learned to replace his missing buttons and keep him together when they get loose and fall. I was about to fall asleep when my phone rang.
I groggily grabbed my phone from my backpack and saw the caller ID. A picture of Sweetie Bell with the appeared. I think I took that picture during his 13th birthday.
I picked it up and answered.
"Hey Sweetie Bell. What's up?"
"Hi Featherweight. What time was the meet up in the mall? I forgot. Scootloo was talking too fast."
"She said 11 a.m. Just in front of the department store."
"Okay. Thanks and sorry for the sudden call."
"That's fine. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and tossed my phone underneath my pillow. Great. Now I couldn't fall asleep. Thanks a lot... I decided to go downstairs and eat. I'll probably watch TV too. I went into the kitchen and grabbed an orange and went into the living room.
I looked at the clock. 9 p.m. it wasn't to late but there was nothing on at this hour. Or rather, nothing I usually watch anyways. As I scrolled though the channels, I started to feel tired and after a few more minutes, I turned off the TV and went back to my room and changed into my pajamas.
I honestly couldn't wait for tomorrow and the movie. Me and the girls always went to the mall for the arcade and movies but I've never been shopping with them before. It was both scary and exciting at the same time.
I crawled back in bed and got my phone. I watched some videos until I got sleepy. My eyes began to feel droopy and just like that I was knocked out cold... The weird thing was, just as I fell asleep, I remembered something that happened a long time ago.
A very special memory. And it involved my first love giving me a very mushy gushy valentine card but her face was hazy...
