Ever since you were little, you had always been second best in your class, always. When you were little there was always that girl that seemed to grasp mathematics like it was nothing, in junior high there was always that ditz that everyone thought was so cute and during your first three years at Canterlot High, someone else had always stood out and you were just another face in the crowd.

Now that you are starting your senior year you realize that this is your last chance to truly stand out but after what happened last year at the fall formal that seemed impossible. That girl, Sunset Shimmer, was once so hated was suddenly the most beloved girl in the school. All the students loved her, the teachers adored her and it seemed like she had both Vice-Principal Luna and Principal Celestia wrapped around her fingers. "No longer!" you said to yourself. You decided that the time for change had come. You may not be able to get everyone to love and adore you but you knew that if you played your cards right, you may be able to win over someone and you have decided to set your eyes on the very top.


Two months had passed since your senior year started and you had been doing quite a bit of studying on how to make things go your way. Throughout all your studies, you learned that if you play your cards right, show a lot of confidence and fear nothing, that you can achieve anything and you have decided the time to test your knowledge had come.

It was another day at Canterlot High and lunch time had arrived. You grabbed your tray and set your plan in action. Normally the girl you envy the most sat at the edge of the table she shared with her closest friends and today would be no different. You eyeballed a table a couple tables down from where Sunset was sitting and came up with a brilliant plan, you would walk a bit too close to her and intentionally trip over yourself and blame her. You figured that would more than justify a fight and then a trip to the principal's office.

Just as you were walking by her she looked up and said, "Oh hi Anonya."

You then tripped over yourself and went into a rage. You immediately grabbed your enemy by the hair and yelled, "You tripped me!"

The normally nice girl suddenly went into a rage and began throwing punches at you, which you quickly countered with and before you knew it, you and Sunset were rolling on the floor trading punches while many of the students in the lunch room were yelling, "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"

Many of them seemed to be cheering on Sunset but a few, the less popular ones, were cheering for you. You thought to yourself, "Finally, some recognition!"

Despite having some students pulling for you, you had much bigger things on your mind than some students cheering for you, you had to put your bacon haired enemy in her place. Finally you got her pinned down and began striking her in the face again and again until you heard a stern voice yell, "STOP!"

You finally stopped and saw an incredibly angry Principal Celestia standing over you. You thought to yourself, "She may be mad now but....."

Celestia pulled you up by your hair and ordered, "My office, now!"

You mumbled a couple of obscenities before being led out of the lunch room. You had bloodied the face of the girl you envy the most but now the time had come to truly test whether you had learned what you studied or not. The time had come to see if perhaps through confidence, determination and maybe a bit of charm, you could get off the hook and perhaps even earn Principal Celestia's respect.
