New guy at CHS

"This place is rather lively. Already better than my previous schools..."

Sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Shining Cobalt, and I'm a normal student. Well, normal on my standards. You see, I've been dubbed as "too much" for schools to teach. Apparently, I'm too smart for other teachers to even teach, and I find that absurd.

I suppose the reason is because I've spent nearly my entire childhood life in studying in the mountains, secluded from society. My mother taught me everything there is to know about the world. The beginning, and she even went on to predict the end of it as well. She even decided to teach me the mystic ways of humans. I didn't understand what she meant by that, but I agreed to learn either way.

Not long ago, I convinced her to allow me to leave the mountains to explore the outside world. After finally seeing all that I had missed, I then came to the idea... to leave the mountain and live the life of an outworlder.

It took a while to get used to it, but I managed. However, I've moved from so many places that I've lost track by now. I've been away from home for nearly 5 years. I'm now a senior in the terms of present day schooling.

You may think I may have an alternative motive as to why I'm here. Well, there is. That motive... is to make friends. I lived secluded for so long that I have no social skills. Every person I talk to gets weirded out by me, and I get shunned away.

At this school however, at CHS, I will make friends. That is my only goal at this school. To finally have friends... something my family has never done...

"Shining Cobalt?" A voice asked from behind him. It was a rather older voice, which led him to believe it was a teacher of some sort. Shining Cobalt turned to see a rather tall woman, much taller than he ever anticipated anyone to be at this school. She had long hair that had a mix of pink, blue, and a different plethora of colors similar to the ones mentioned earlier.

"Yes?"

"You're speaking out loud."

"I did it again...," Cobalt's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as he realized he had just spoken his thoughts out loud... again, "I'm sorry, I have a habit of speaking my thoughts out loud."

"I can understand why. You've lived secluded from the outside world for so long that your monologues can't stay as just that monologues."

"Yeah, but I feel like the outside world is extremely better than back at my home in the mountains. However, I didn't catch your name, are you the one they call: Principal Celestia?"

"Yes, I am the principal here at CHS. I would like you to follow me to my office so that I may get through your first day here at CHS."

"I would like that. Thank you Principal Celestia," Cobalt followed down the halls of CHS, glancing at the students as they conversed amongst each other. He recognized a few from the courtyard, but of course, he didn't know their names.

He was surprised at how lively this school was. Most of the time, other schools would berate their students for being so loud, but here, it was as if all this liveliness was a commonplace at this school.

"Is something wrong Cobalt?"

"I'm just in awe of how lively the school is. Everyone seems genuinely happy. Nothing seems forced. At other schools I attended, everyone seemed... controlled."

"You attended private school, am I correct?"

"Yes, I guess rumors about private school were true. However, I attended public schools too, and they were almost the same."

"CHS, will be different from any school you attend, you can hold me on that."

Cobalt looked at her confusingly, and smiled, "Ok, I'll hold you into that word."

"Very well then," She stopped in front of her office, and held the door open for Cobalt. He nodded and walked in.

"Hm...," Cobalt glanced around at the office. Somewhat disappointed in its plain look.

"Alright, I see from your pass record, and your mother that you excel in every subject. You read at a college level, and...," Celestia paused at the last bit of information.

"That I learned the ways of the mystics?"

"Cobalt, can you control your mystical powers?"

"Of course I can. I've pretty much mastered my mystic powers."

"Your powers won't be a problem, right?" Cobalt nodded. Celestia smiled as she pulled out a folder, "Alright, I'll hold you onto that. Here is your folder which is full of all the information you need, along with your schedule. I have a student in their way to take on a tour of the school."

"What about the papers that my mom would have to sign?"

"She signed them ahead of time."

"Again, I don't how she does that when she never leaves the mountain..."

"Principal Celestia?" A voice said from behind Cobalt.

This voice was light, elegant... someone with this tone of voice is obviously refined in some sort of way. I would be lying if I said it didn't entice me...

Cobalt turned to see a rather gorgeous young woman. She had luscious violet hair, along with a vibrant purple skirt to match. Her blouse matched her perfect figure as well. Cibalt was in awe of this individual.

"Ah, Rarity, perfect timing. This is the student that has recently transferred here. You're giving him the tour, correct?"

"Why yes, is he ready to begin the tour?"

"Well, are you ready Cobalt?"

"Ready when you are."

"Great, let us go!"

Rarity walked out with a little pep in her step, leaving Cobalt to do a light bow at her before following Rarity.

So this is Rarity. I heard about her from some of the locals. She's definitely refined in all the ways you can imagine. Apparently, she runs a boutique which is extremely impressive. I'll have to look to see if she can sow me some nice clothes.

Her elegance and creativity could sparks across any type of commoner, myself included. However, I doubt thatI could match the elegance she's looking forin a life partner. Oh well, let's get this tour the road.
