New guy at CHS

"First off, let's get our formalities out of the way. My name is Rarity."

Rarity held out her hand, as Cobalt and shook it, adding a bow with it, "Shining Cobalt, though I'd prefer you to call me Cobalt. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh my, you surely know your manners, and your so formal with that bow."

"Thank you, my mother told me to be nice to anyone I meet. Especially if I ever meet a refined, elegant individual such as yourself."

"My, your mother taught you well. However, you're flattering me far too early. We had only met a few moments ago. Please, don't be so formal."

Cobalt gave a simple nod as they continued on with the tour.

Hm, she seems really nice. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't see her being chased by all the boys at school. With her gorgeous looks, and how sophisticated she is, I feel as if she entices me during our interactions...

Cobalt turned to witness a shocked, blushing Rarity, much to his confusion. It then clicked on what happened, "I just said all that out loud, didn't I?"

He looked at her as she cleared get throat, and fixed her hair, "You're a real charmer aren't you Cobalt?"

"Sorry, I have a habit of thinking it loud. I've lived such a secluded life that thinking out loud is common for me. I'm sorry for saying such embarrassing things."

"This is nothing to be sorry about. Besides, you said you lived a secluded life. What do you mean by that?"

"Uh, let's get to that after the tour. Now is not a good time. I'll tell you, just not during the tour. You still have class to get to."

"Very well, but I'm gonna wait for an answer."

"Don't worry you'll get an answer."

The two chuckled at each other as they started the tour, "So you saw this area when you got here. This is the main lobby. It's pretty lively here. In fact, the whole school is lively. It's what makes this school divine!"

"I can see that. A mundane student body just won't anyone, not even teachers."

"Hm, where did you go to school before now Cobalt?"

What school? I can barely remember those schools. None of them really appealed to me enough to remember their names. Should I tell her I was home schooled?

"Do you not wish to say?"

"N-No, it's not that. I just really don't remember the schools that I attended before now. They were never appealing to me."

"Schools?"

"Oh, right..."

"How many schools have you attended before CHS?"

"If I can be honest with you, I lost count..."

"Oh my, what was the reason?"

"I was too smart for them to teach. They had no reason to teach someone who would out class their smartest teacher..."

"That just doesn't make sense. Shouldn't they have put you in AP classes?"

"They never attempted to."

"Well, I'll be flabbergasted."

People still say that word?

"Preventing someone to live a school life just because they're too smart isn't right. Are you sure that was the only reason?"

"I'm pretty sure. I never did anything at any of the schools. I'm just too confused on why they wouldn't allow me to stay at the school..."

"Well, that won't happen here. Canterlot High accepts everyone."

"I sure hope so, or I'll be forced to go back home."

Rarity still wondered what he meant earlier by living a secluded life.

I know she still wants to know why I lived a secluded life, but I don't think she needs to know. I wouldn't want her to worry, or fear me.

"Anyway, let us continue the tour. Come on Cobalt."

"Alright..."

The two finished up the tour at the cafeteria, "And this is the cafeteria. Luckily, lunch is about to start in about 10 minutes, so you're free to just roam around until lunch."

"Is that fine? Wouldn't the hall monitor or Principal Celestia get on to the both of us for that?"

"They don't have to know," Rarity added a wink as she walked off.

Huh, so maybe even the refined can be troublemakers. Hehe, that's nice to know. Maybe I will like my life here at CHS. You know, I'm not really in the mood for lunch. Maybe I'll try to get on the roof. I wish I could just float up there, but that would attract too much attention to me. I guess I'll have to head there through the roof access door.

Cobalt roamed the halls until he saw one of the hall monitors. He quickly hid, but the hall monitor was quickly coming down the hall.

Probably to scope out anyone out of class early for lunch. Huh, they sure on point with that.

Cobalt looked around for a place to hide, and smirked.

I can still use my powers here. No one is gonna be able to detect them here...

Cobalt spun, and disappeared into the ground, a mystic power he's used countless times.

Meanwhile, in class, a certain flame-headed girl felt the power Cobalt just used. She looked around to see if anyone had notice, and someone did, "Something wrong Sunset?" A fluffy pink-haired girl asked.

"Oh nothing, just thought I felt a disturbance."

"Ooo, are you a Jedi?"

"What? No..."

The bell soon rung for lunch, causing everyone to rush out to the cafeteria. Cobalt heard the commotion while he was on the roof.

So I'm guessing would be the most lively time of the day. Makes sense for a school like this. As for me, I think just laying here on the roof, staring at the bright blue sky to just... unwind...

Cobalt felt himself drift to sleep, but he shook himself awake, "Stop it Cobalt. You gotta stay awake, just head back down to the cafeteria. Maybe you can talk to Rarity. She's only one you talked to, and the only one that won't think you're weird... probably. And I'm talking to myself in second person... just great..."

Cobalt stood up as he stretched his body. He proceeded to walk back downstairs as he saw students walk by him just casually talking to each other. He smiled and continued on to the cafeteria.

Once he had arrive, he saw Rarity at a table with who assumed were her friends. Rarity caught a glimpse of Cobalt amongst the crowd of people, and waved him over, "Oh Cobalt darling, over here!"

Ok, so she obviously has friends, which is the usual. However, I don't think it would be best for me to join in on whatever conversation they had.

Without realizing it, Rarity was beside him..., and that he was speaking out loud again, "You should really stop doing that Cobalt darling. Come on, I don't really care about you interrupting our conversations. We were talking about you. My friends have been dying to meet you," She took a hold of his wrist, and pulled him to follow her.

What? She's only known me for a few hours. How could her friends be dying to meet me?

"Alright then, I'll be glad to meet them," Rarity led him towards her friends who were eagerly waiting for their arrival.

"You're gonna love my friends. They're amazing!"

"I know I will."

I hope they can be my friends. That's all I'm really looking for while I'm here. Just a friend...
