You stepped in front of the large glass doors at the entrance of the school and sighed. This was your last chance to be normal. Your last chance to actually be known for something other than being the school's punching bag. As your mind drifted away on all the other things that were at stake, one thing stuck at the front of your mind.

Make some friends.

With your backpack hung loosely over your shoulder, you grabbed the door handle and pulled. Taking another step, you took the time to look at everything in the main lobby. It wasn't extremely fancy like Cyrstal Prep, but at the same time, it wasn't the worst thing a school could look like either.

No one seemed to notice that you entered and continued to walk to their first classes. Taking a deep breath, you started toward the crowd, trying to ask for directions for yours.

"Excuse me I- um... Hey, could you tell me..." Each time you tried to ask someone for directions, they would ignore you as if you weren't even there. This obviously annoyed you.

The only person you saw in the crowd of students that wasn't being rude was a strange lavender-skinned girl who was getting knocked around by almost everyone passing by. You couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her. Either way, you doubted she was going to help you and continued forward.

"Wow, really warm welcome..." you sighed, looking down at the ground. It was just like every other school you went to. It was everyone for themselves and themselves alone.

"LOOK OUT!"

The shout brought you back into reality as you looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of dark purple eyes. Before you knew it, you were knocked to the ground with an audible thump. Pain temporarily rushed through your body as you tried to process what just happened.

As you rubbed your head to try and sooth the pain, you heard the voice from before.

"Ow... Sorry 'bout that." she said in pain from the impact.

Your eyes opened to see who it was and what you found was interesting to say the least. You could see a teenage girl no older than you were. She wore a black sweatshirt hoodie with matching boots and olive green shorts. A dark purple helmet with two white stripes running down it covered her hair.

Laying on its side was a cyan scooter with red handles and wheels. Now that you thought about it, why DID she have this scooter with her? Last time you checked, you were to leave your bikes or scooters in the rack outside the school.

Ignoring the growing want to ask why she had this, you got up and dusted yourself off. "Don't worry. Not the worst welcoming I've ever had."

It was now that you saw the other two girls beside her. One had light yellow skin, red hair, and a large pink bow almost the size of her head. The other, had skin as white as snow and curly pink and purple hair. As the two helped the other up, they looked at you with a smile.

"Howdy!" the bow-wearing girl greeted with a southern accent.

"Um, hello." you plainly replied. You were uneasy as the many scenario's this confrontation could play out flooded through your head. You weren't exactly the best at making friends and besides the rare occasion, you would be alone for most of the day.

"I haven't seen ya' round here. You must be new. Ah'm Apple Bloom!" You were at least happy to see some enthusiasm for new students, unlike the other schools you've been to.

"Hello. My name's Sweetie Belle." the curly-haired girl added.

Finally, the girl who ran into you earlier gave you a smile and spoke. "The name's Scootaloo. Nice to meet ya'."
With a smile, you shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you, too. I'm-" Before you could tell them your name, you suddenly remembered what you need to ask. "Oh, right! I need directions to Ms. Cheerlie's. You know where it is?"

"Yeah. It's the fourth door on your right. We're headed there too for our first class." Scootaloo replied.

"Well, that's pretty convenient." you stated.

"I'm willing to bet that you have all of classes as us!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

You shrugged playfully. "That could be the case. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case."

Before the conversation could drag on any further, Sweetie Belle stepped in. "Guys! Class starts in two minutes!"

As you and the girls started towards your class, you couldn't help but feel like your life was finally starting to turn around. This was the first time anyone was showing you any sort of decency and kindness at school. Even the teachers you had at previous schools weren't this nice!

If this kept up, maybe Canterlot High wouldn't be so bad.

Lunch had come around much sooner than you expected. Unlike many other first days you had, nothing really seemed too out of the ordinary. Just the standard boring lessons and homework. You grabbed your food and sat down next to the girls.

They welcomed you with warm smiles as they continued to eat.

"So, you ready for a big surprise?" Scootaloo asked, taking a bite out of her sandwich.

"Surprise?" you tilted your head in confusion.

Apple Bloom nodded. "Us three are part of a group called the-" Before she could finish, two more girls with mischievous smirks approached your group.

"The Cutie Mark Goon-Saders. I see your trying to recruit some sorry soul into your group." She was dressed in a sparkly yellow jacket and a white and black dress. Her skin was a pale megenta and her hair was light megenta with white streaks.

Beside her was a light grey-skinned girl with blue glasses.

"It's Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Sweetie Belle growled.

"Who are these two again?" you asked in a perplexed tone.

The two girls in front of you smiled even wider. "Oh, you must be new here. I am Diamond Tiara and this is Silver Spoon. We're, like, a pretty big deal around here."

"Yeah, fer' the wrong reasons." Apple Bloom whispered.

"Oh, and like your little band of friends is known for anything better!" Diamond Tiara spat.

Scootaloo groaned in aggravation. "Why do we even have to do this? It's the same song and dance every day! JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" She then violently took a bite out of her sandwich.

"We'll leave you alone when you actually become good at something." Silver Spoon laughed.

"Until then, feel free to continue to run around and keep trying to become useful to society." Diamond mocked. "And as for you, new kid. I wouldn't hang out with these three if you don't want to be an outcast. Though, I'm pretty sure your already one considering these girls seem to be your only friends. Also, a fair warning. If we find you hanging out with these losers, don't expect anything good to come of it."

By now, you had heard enough to become completely triggered. This girl clearly didn't care about anyone's feelings and was willing to do anything to get under other people's skin. You had met way too many people with this kind of mindset. Being reminded of your status for having little to no friends only made this worse.

You stood up from your seat and furrowed your brow. Your hand clenched into a fist as you held back the rage inside of you. The two saw this and continued to mock you.

"Now now, be neighborly. You wouldn't want to do something you would regret." Diamond Tiara said.

"I'm not your neighbor. In fact, I'm pretty sure I hate you now." You growled. As much as you wanted to give her a clean punch across her face, you didn't want to stoop to her level. Especially on your first day.

"We're done humoring ourselves for now. We must be going. Have fun!" Luckily for you and your friends, the two bullies walked away from your table, finally giving you all some peace.

You turned back to the others as you all gave a sigh of relief. "Something tells me I'm gonna get real tired of those two." you grumbled.

"Yeah, join the club." Apple Bloom glumly replied. It seemed like an eternity before you were ready to talk again.

"So... what was that about the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" you asked.

The three looked at you with curious expressions. "Wait, you still wanna join?" Scootaloo asked. "Not many people wanna hang with us after meeting Diamond and Silver Spoon."

You raised a brow at this statement. "Why's that?

"They make all these threats to the new students telling them that if they even think about being around us, they'll make their lives miserable. Not that it stops them from being jerks either way." Scootaloo continued.

"Well, lucky for you, I don't think too much about empty threats." you said. You then watched as the three perked up and seemed much happier than before. "So, what's this club about?"

"We're on a crusade, a mission!" Scootaloo exclaimed

"To find our special talents!" Sweetie Belle added.

"No matter how long it takes!" Apple Bloom finished.

The idea of trying to find what you were good at did intrigue you. You thought of all the things you would get to try alongside your friends.

"We're always lookin' to expand our numbers, and ya'll seem ta' be the perfect fit!" Apple Bloom cheered.

"Isn't that what we say to all of our recruits before they get talked out of it?" Sweeite whispered, barely reaching your ears.

Apple Bloom groaned. "Yes, it is. But I got a good feeling about this time!"

"So, when are we meeting up?" You interrupted, regaining their attention.

"Meet us in town square after school. We've got something real good planned!" Scootaloo said, growing a mischievous smirk.

You saw this and sweat dropped. Regardless, you nodded and watched the girls continue to grow happier every second.

"Alright! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MEMBER RECRUITING SUCCESS! YAY!!!" They all shouted in unison, gaining the attention of almost the entire lunch room.

You ears were ringing more than they ever have if your entire life. It was if the three had used a mega phone out of thin air. You lightly touched your ears and shook your head.

"Oops... Sorry." they said in unison once more.

"No, it's fine. I'll get used to that." You weakly chuckled. They were energetic, that was for sure. You silently wondered if you were excited or frightened to see what was to come next.
