I don’t know how to start writing. Intros are hard, especially when you’ve just moved. I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. I’m Blue Spring. I’m 16 years old, and I just moved to Canterlot a couple of days ago. I live in the residential district, but my older brother and father run a mechanic shop downtown. My older brother, Sprocket, is a university student in Baltimare. I’m attending Canterlot High School (CHS) starting on Wednesday. I hope it goes a lot better than last year when I entered my final year of middle school.
I should be unpacking my belongings, but I keep distracting myself. There’s so many thoughts I’m having, but I don’t know how to put them into words. I guess what I can say is this: If anything happy, sad, scary, or strange happens to me over the next year, anyone who reads this will know about it.

Officially started my first day at school as a sophomore at CHS. I guess it’s okay. Today kinda sucked, but I think it was because it was my first day. I actually didn’t think I’d make it until lunch. I’ll go through the events of today one by one. So this morning I had to wake up at around six-thirty. I took a ten minute shower, and then ate some cereal. I grabbed my backpack and biked to school. I’m only about ten minutes away from the school by bike, so it’s not too bad. That was around eight in the morning.
School doesn’t officially start until eight-twenty. According to my schedule that I grabbed from the front desk, my first class of the day was Chemistry with Ms. Chrysalis. She introduced herself, and handed out the year’s syllabus. That’s all I gained from chem. The next class I had was P.E. The teacher in charge of gym wasn’t too much older than the rest of us. He only looked like he was in his twenties to me. I couldn’t help but feel like I had heard that name before. The class after that? English with Mr. Trope. He was older, but he was pretty cool. He’s a movie guy, so I’ve gotta appreciate him for all of his references. After English, we had lunch. Some dude named Aqua Glide invited me to sit with them at lunch.
When I walked into the cafeteria, I looked around for the dude with a white t-shirt and lighter blue hair. When I found him and his friends, I took a seat across from Aqua.
“You must be the new guy.” The dude with a blue t-shirt and darker blue hair chuckled and offered a hand, “The name’s Rimshot. You?”
“Blue Spring.” I smiled and shook the guy’s hand.
“Where do you hail from?” Rimshot asked me as I was quietly eating my sandwich.
“Originally? I’m from Bawston.” I smiled as the Boston accent slipped into my voice. I blushed from embarrassment, for I had been trying to hide the accent.
“You can’t always hide the accent, dude.” Another voice chimed in. This guy, again, had a shade of blue for hair, and wore a t-shirt with a lightning symbol on it, and wore a grey hoodie. He offered his hand to me, “Call me Flash.”
“Like the TV show?” I chuckled and shook Flash’s hand.
“You’re just as bad as Mr. Trope.” Flash chuckled and looked at the others at the table, “I think he’ll fit in around here.”
After lunch, I had Geometry. Ms. Cheerilee seemed pretty nice. I couldn’t help but notice that she wore a green, flowery skirt, a brown t-shirt, and had a shade of pink for hair colour. I couldn’t really focus on the class too much, because I was off in my own world.
Was Flash right? Would I actually fit in?
Anyways I looked around the class at the other kids. Aqua was in my geometry class, so there’s already one person I was acquainted with. As I looked around, I took mental notes of some of the students in the room. One girl was wearing a light blue t-shirt with dark blue glasses, and had bright yellow hair. Another student had a lighter green tank top and had darker brown hair. When she spoke up, it sounded like she had a British accent. Another student wore a pink t-shirt and had blue-grey hair. I looked over to Aqua, and he looked back at me. Luckily then the bell rang.
The last class of the day was history for me. The only person that I actually recognised in that classroom was the blue-grey haired girl from my last class. The next teacher introduced himself as Mr. Sombra. He handed out a syllabus for the class, and we got to know a little something about each other in the class. Apparently that girl from my last class’ name was Tuft or something. Remember that this was like five hours ago now. Aqua told me a bit about her and that was that. Anyways… my head is pretty foggy at this point, so I think I’m gonna stop writing for now. Hopefully I get into the swing of things as time goes on.

It’s been an easy week, but I suspect that it will just increasingly become more and more difficult. Sorry for not writing, I’ve been helping my father out at the repair shop and becoming acquainted with Aqua, Flash, and Rim a little bit better. We were at Aqua’s house this weekend and we basically played video games and talked about our female classmates. Besides the point, we started reading the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles in English on Friday. Joke's on them. I already read that book last year. So that should be easy. I also talked to that Tuft chick today at lunch. We didn’t say too much to each other, though. She’s cute and all, but I could never say that to her face.
That’s another thing. So today in P.E, I found a signup list for boys’ soccer. Ironically, the person who was putting up the sign was a girl with unique rainbow-coloured hair. Funny, right? So I went over to her and we struck up a conversation. Her name was Rainbow Dash. I could have guessed something along the lines of Rainbow because of her hair. I guess just for the fun of it, she wanted to test me at soccer or something. After I talked to Coach, she walked over to me.
“Signing up for boys’ soccer, huh? Why don’t we see how skilled you are?” Rainbow grinned at me, bouncing a soccer ball on her knee.
“I’m not too great at soccer but I can play pretty well.” I replied while I still hated the fact that I couldn’t easily get rid of my accent.
So we went out to the field behind the school, right? Dash said to me before we walked over there, “Whoever hits five first wins!” I honestly didn’t stand a chance against her in a one v. one match. She was better at defence and offence than I was, but I was okay at those positions. The one thing I was pretty okay at was being a goalie, though. After I had lost miserably (two to five), we sat down on a bench right by the field and I downed a water bottle in less than a minute.
“That was pretty good!” Dash admitted with a smirk, “Not as good as me, though. I’m unstoppable!”
“That was pretty bad for me.” I frowned slightly, “To be fair, I haven’t played soccer since the eighth grade back home.”
“Where are you from anyways?” Dash asked me with a curious look, “You have a different accent than I’ve really ever heard.”
“Bawston.” I replied with a chuckle, “That’s up north in Neigh England.”
The rest of that conversation was a blur to me. I remember her and I talking about the Red Sox after that, and then we had our next class. I barely remember the class period, but I remember we were doing a worksheet on A Separate Peace. Then lunch came, and I sat down with the boys. We were talking about sporting events within the next month, then Aqua looked at me and spoke up.
“I see you got your ass kicked by Dash out on the field today.” Aqua said with a smirk.
“I know! That was wicked awful performance on my part.” I looked down and took a sip from my water bottle, “That tired me out, y’know?”
“You weren’t too bad out there.” Aqua smiled and replied to me, “In fact, you were pretty good! Did Dash explain that she’s…?”
“Unstoppable, yeah.” I chuckled and cut in.
We continued to eat lunch until the bell rang. Geometry was pretty boring because all we were doing was dimensional analysis. That is like eighth grade math for me. At least the class wasn’t too hard for me, though. That’s a plus.
Next, we had history. Mr. Sombra partnered me up with the girl with blue glasses I mentioned here last week. Apparently her name is Silver Dust. She’s not too bad, but she seems pretty shy. I tried to make conversation with her, but she didn’t respond much. I noticed she had one earbud sticking in her left ear. I guess some people focus better when they have music to listen to. I can understand that, because I’m still the same way around these people.
Oh, I’ve gotta go now. I hear my old man downstairs.

I’ve only been at this school for just over a week and I already hate someone! That’s gotta be a new record or something. Ugh, today was all well and good until this girl came along. She was wearing a grey jacket and a fuchsia coloured t-shirt, and she had red and yellow striped hair. Aqua told me later that her name was Sunset Shimmer… I don’t like her. Anyway, I was walking through the hall and I accidentally bumped into her. I had attempted to apologise but she glared at me. She then told me to get the hell out of her way. Seriously, I don’t think she even took a second to acknowledge that I was about to say sorry. If this is how she treats people, it would explain why people don’t like her. I heard some of my classmates say some awful things about her. I don’t blame them at all. She seems like a cold-hearted bitch who gets what she wants.
On another, slightly better note, I saw a poster in the hallway for the CHS Fall Formal. That seems cool, but somehow I will have to attempt to get a date for it in the first place… Ugh, that requires me to be even more social than I usually am! I’ll work on the whole social thing later, but for now, I have a level of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to return to. Peace!

So, the weirdest thing happened to me over these last few days. Not only did I actually get an A on a quiz, I found a $20 laying on the ground on my walk home from school on Friday. It’s now Sunday if my calendar is correct… I barely pay attention to these things because I just let time pass. The guys and I talked about the Fall Formal dance on Friday. I asked them about it, and they told me it was like a homecoming dance. To be honest, I don’t think that I could get a date for this Fall Formal thing. I’m entirely decent looking, and I’m a barely-sociable nerd. Maybe if a miracle were to hit, I could get a date, but I’ll worry about it later.
Yesterday, Flash, Aqua, Rim, and myself hung out. We were actually at Rim’s place this time around. We were messing with some instruments. Flash knows how to play guitar, and Rim plays the Drums. Aqua jokingly recorded us once I set up my electric keyboard. Funny enough, we all knew how to play O-O-Oh Child by Five Stairsteps, so we jammed out to that song. I had started to learn All of Me by John Legend by myself, and progress wise, I already mastered the first half of the song. It was a relatively new song too, having been released a few weeks ago.
After that, the four of us went to this place called Sugarcube Corner. This was the first time going to this place for me. When we walked in there, we sat at a booth close to the windows. A teenage girl with pink, poofy hair bounced over to us and took our orders. She then noticed me and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and brought me closer to her as if to examine me or something. Rim and Aqua just chuckled, and the pink girl spoke.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you here before! Are you new?!” She giggled and placed me down back in my seat.
“Uh…” I was at a loss of words, but luckily Aqua had my back.
“Pinkie, this is Blue Spring. He’s a new student.” Aqua smiled and patted my shoulder as if to try to bring me back.
“Y-yeah…” I stammered, still confused as hell, “What he said..”
The rest of that meal went by pretty quickly. As I picked up my trash to throw it away, I accidentally bumped into that Silver Dust girl. When I bumped into her, I accidentally knocked her glasses off. I quickly reached down and handed them to her.
“Sorry…” I frowned and I returned her glasses, “I didn’t see you.”
“It’s okay!” She giggled and smirked at me, “Looks like you need to watch where you’re going more often.”
“Noted.” I chuckled and walked back over to my friends. We spoke for a little bit afterwards, then I headed home.
That’s where I am now. I should be doing some homework, but I just don’t have the motivation. My mind is too focused on other things, like the jam session that happened earlier. I still can’t help but think back to Sunset Shimmer. Writing that just made my skin crawl, ew. It’s like she didn’t even want to try and listen to me. But apparently she’s always been like that.
I’m done thinking about it. Goodnight.

Author's Note
So, I've had this laying around for awhile now. This is Blue Spring, and he's one of my OCs. I started writing this piece in 2014, but I recently just took it and modified it to match with the current Equestria Girls canon.

Oh my god. I can’t believe I found my journal. I thought I lost it! It’s been missing for three weeks! I guess I should fill in what has happened as of late. First off, the first round of progress reports were released last week. I’m currently passing all of my classes! Second, Rim, Flash, Aqua, and I have formed a small band because why the hell not? It was originally Rim’s idea, but we were all in unison about the band. But the most important thing here is that I asked that Silver Dust girl about two weeks ago.
What happened was Silver and I were hanging out at SCC because we were finishing up our history project, and we were joking around. She said something to me about the Fall Formal and how nobody would ask her out. I grinned and said something along the lines of “well you could go with me if you want.” Long story short, I then asked her out to see a movie. I can’t tell you what movie we saw because, to be honest, I don’t really remember. I’ve been busy trying to equally divide up my sports life, band life, girlfriend life, and school life. It’s been getting pretty hectic, and it doesn’t help having to work shifts at my father’s mechanic workshop.
The dance is in less than a month and things have been getting weird in my life. Not just here, though. It’s like all of my teachers at CHS just decided that all of a sudden we were gonna have a bunch of exams in the upcoming weeks. I know on the sixteenth of this month I have to take the PSATs. I really don’t wanna take those.
Until next time,
Spring

Today was a fun day! Flash, Rim, Aqua, and myself decided to jam out and attempted to learn Go All the Way by the Raspberries. We decided we’d tackle this song over group messages.
We met up at SCC this morning and then headed to Rim’s place, seeing that’s where the drum kit is. Since the last time, I decided to keep my keyboard at his place anyway so it was easier to access. I also ended up bringing my microphone and other recording bits to his place, so we have an ammature recording studio now! I thought it’d be a good idea… It turned out to be more confusion than anything. First, Rim thought it’d be good if I were to set up my equipment, and then everything decided to fail on me. At the WORST possible time, too!

I’m in a study hall right now, so I guess I’ll write something down. I’m currently a little bit hooked on a show called My Little Corgi. It’s about this one corgi who stayed inside and shut herself off from the world until her mentor sent her to Corgiville to prepare for the Summer Sun celebration. She met five other corgis and they formed a group called the Elements of Harmony. It’s really interesting stuff, even if it’s a cartoon made for little kids.
There’s this website I discovered called FiMFiction where you can upload fanfiction for this show. There’s quite a few self-insert, Human-in-Corgiville stuff here. I’ve been doodling my thoughts into a fanfic, so I thought I’d copy and paste the first paragraph of the first chapter in here!
Everyone keeps secrets. However, not everyone keeps secrets that could potentially destroy you forever. Finding out that you were born a magical corgi in another dimension is definitely one of the latter. I only found this information out a few hours back, when my aunt Jackie came to the house. Aunt Jackie is one of the most honest people I know. She’s about five-foot-eight, has long blonde hair, loves wearing plaid button-downs, and has a Southern drawl. She came over to tell my mother something extremely important, according to her facial expression when I asked what was going on. She told me to get my mother as soon as possible.
I mean, it’s not much. But hey I might turn it into something later. Who knows? Anyways, let’s stop being too self-aware and let’s talk about something other than fanfiction of colourful cartoon characters in a fantasy show.
I haven’t really opened up to too many people. I hang out with Aqua and Rim a lot. Others? Well, if I don’t have to interact with them I won’t. It’s easier to keep my distance, simply because I’m bad with socializing. I get wicked anxious around people I don’t know, unless I’m already in my comfort zone. For instance, the first time I spoke with Rainbow Dash I was playing sports, which somehow made me feel better. Ah, Rainbow Dash… We talk sometimes. I think. Well, it’s more like we’re competitive. She’s forcing me to get better at soccer again. That’s nice, I guess. It couldn’t hurt to lose some more weight.
Silver Dust and I went on another date last night. Just a simple movie date. Nothing too complicated, but I tried to make it great with dinner afterwards. Personally I think it could have gone a bit better. She said it went well, but I keep doing that thing where I question every choice I made leading up to one point.
I guess that’s a ‘me’ thing.

The weekend is here! I don’t have anything planned either, so I’m just going to sleep most of it away. Sprocket told me he’s coming down this weekend. As much as I’d love to hang out with him and stuff, I don’t think I’ll be able to. I’ve got a bit of homework that I need to get done by Monday. Mr. Turner wants me to write a physics essay on electric coils. How exciting. Mr. Trope wants an English essay on the first three chapters of A Separate Peace and how the visual imagery helps convey the setting. Ms. Cheerilee gave us a math packet on 30 60 90 triangles. Great stuff.
The weather’s finally cooling down, so I can bring out my favourite jacket again. It’s barely even a jacket; the material is thin, but it keeps me warm. It’s burgundy, and it’s a zip-up hoodie. I love it. Anyways, I’ve been writing my fanfic again. Not much has changed since the last edit, but I’m adding onto that story. It’s a work in progress!
Also, season 4 of MLC airs in about a month! Over the summer Hasbro gave us a movie about Cake Sprinkle (the main character) chasing this one corgi through a magical portal to retrieve her Element crown that the other character stole. On the other side of this portal was a human world. Kinda weird. The movie was rushed, and there were animation errors left and right. It also felt extremely forced so that they could sell more toys. Dammit, Larson. On the Larson note, why did he give Sprinkle wings?!
I’ll just go rant on the MLC Forums with my buddies.

Nothing new has happened. I mean, really, nothing. My older brother Sprocket came down to visit from Baltimare and we hung out for a bit this weekend. I spent my Sunday doing homework and it was boring as hell. I found some new tunes on YouTube though. I found Turquoise Splash’s Polychromatic which is a song about Colour Burst. It’s really good! I also found some other songs by the same artist. He’s really good! Another thing I discovered over the weekend was My Little Colour Burst, a story by some guy called ROBCakeran53 over on FiMFiction. It’s a story about a puppy Colour Burst somehow in the human world, and it’s really sad! How did I not discover this before?!
Besides MLC, I’ve been keeping up on anime. So the three I’ve been watching this season are Log Horizon, Beyond the Boundary, and MAGI: The Kingdom of Magic. They’re all really well done! I like Log Horizon the most though. The main characters get trapped in a world which is a mix of a video game and real world things. Kinda like Sword Art Online but better.
Aw hell. I’m an otaku brogi. How amazing. /s

Today had to be the weirdest day imaginable. I don’t even know where to begin.
Wait, no I do. The other day in school, that Sunset Shimmer bitch wrecked the Fall Formal and attempted to frame that new transfer girl, Twilight (I don’t know if that’s her name; I overheard it from Flash). I don’t really pay too much attention because I was trying so hard to study for this physics test, and I think I’m gonna fail. I digress. Twilight and her group of friends redid the auditorium and made it look a hell of a lot better than it did.
The Fall Formal is tonight, and I don’t have a date, so what the hell would be the point in going?
Guess I was wrong. I went anyway.
The strangest shit happened tonight. After Twilight was deemed the Queen of the Fall Formal or whatever, she jumped offstage and ran after Snips and Snails, who had her pet dog.
Why the hell would they do that? At first I thought it had something to do with that Sunset Shimmer bitch. When I heard a loud explosion, me and the guys ran out to see what happened. Others had followed us, and something happened. There was a flying demon thing with wings and two others that looked surprisingly like Snips and Snails! At that point, I surmised that the large demon was Sunset. She glared at her new audience and her eyes suddenly glowed… I can’t remember what happened after that.
What I remember next was that Sunset Shimmer was at the bottom of a giant crater in the sidewalk with Twilight standing on the edge. When Sunset, Twilight, and her friends went inside I decided to give in and call it a night. I unlocked my bike from the side of the building in the student lot, and I biked home.
And that’s that. I’m tired, so I’m gonna sleep.

Well, Nightmare Night is in two days. Tonight the guys and I went to a party hosted by that crazy Pinkie Pie. It was… interesting, to say the least. There were lots of people, and I knew my social anxiety would start acting up if I did something outside of my comfort zone. So what happened? Well, at some point, Pinkie Pie handed me a guitar and asked me to play a song for them. In front of a hundred people, well I couldn’t say no. Even though my social anxiety would probably act up, I decided to bring out the old classics. I played Rivers and Roads by The Head and the Heart and then I played an unplugged version of Houdini by Foster the People. It was an interesting night, but I definitely won’t do that again unless I want to really embarrass myself.
So that’s it for my October, let’s hope November is as interesting.
