Dear Diary,

Oh, my gosh! Today was probably the definition of the worst day ever! Usually in movies where the protagonist goes to a new school, it’s like the best day ever for them! Apparently, not to me! I honestly never felt so humiliated in my entire life. So, it all started this morning when I got outta bed and somehow the sun was shining extremely bright. I for one, thought that since the sun is shining, then my day must be looking bright too right? Unfortunately, after I decided to wear a gray short sleeve shirt, with my green plaid skirt, black high knee socks, with my black and gold Vans, I knew that today wasn’t going to be a horrible day. Guess, I was wrong. Without looking at my surroundings and without a hesitation, the bathroom door swung open and hit me with a loud bang! I fell to the floor in pain, screaming while holding my nose, and that’s when my grandfather came out the bathroom door in complete shock.

“Oh goodness! Are you okay honey?” He asked as he was leaning towards me while helping me up to see if I was okay. I moved away, still in immense pain, as my nose was getting even more irritated by the second. My father and grandmother both ran up the stairs faster than a cheetah hunting down its prey.

“Oh deary!” My grandma exclaimed as she saw me on the floor. “What happened?? Are you hurt???”

I couldn’t bother answer anyone’s questions at the moment, since my vision was quite in a blurr and also my hearing was fading as well. Tears started flowing from my eyes like a waterfall while my hands were shaking nonstop. As if nothing could get any worse at this point of time, I noticed my gray shirt was splashed with drops of crimson blood and once I removed my hand from my nose, there was a big puddle of blood on the palm of my hand and on the rims of my nostrils. Dad immediately ran to the kitchen to get an ice pack as grandma started rubbing my back to sooth my nerves. At this rate, my breathing started to increase drastically maybe because I was still in shock of all the pain burning and blood gushing from my nose. My grandfather was wiping up the blood from the floor as for my grandmother on the other hand was helping me downstairs. Scootaloo was eating her Cocoa Pebbles and once she saw me, she freaked out.

“Are you going to be okay??” She asked as she almost knocked the milk on the table over. My dad hurried to get the ice pack because time was running out for us to head to school. I for one didn’t want to go to school in this condition. A busted and bloody nose, a ruined shirt, and my body felt super weak, I mean I can always start school tomorrow. As if my dad read my thoughts, he shook his head while grabbing me some bacon and eggs from the pan on the stove.

“No can do Dashie, you’re going to school today! The principal is expecting you,” He warned me before grabbing his jacket. “You want to eat that on the way?”

While holding the ice pack on my nose, I could barely eat anything at this time, since it was 7:45 am. I shook my head softly and told him that I would eat until lunch arrives. My dad was a man who never took no for an answer. He piled up the bacon and eggs for me in a small little container as he was searching for his car keys. Scootaloo finished eating her bowl of cereal and grabbed her book bag while leaving me sitting on the dining table for myself. My grandma walked towards me giving me another lighter gray shirt than before with a smile.

“This was the first shirt I snagged from your drawer,” She replied removing the ice pack from my nose and placed a band-aid on the rim of it. “I am so sorry your first day is becoming a disaster so early in the morning, but change into the shirt quickly and I am sure this band-aid won’t do much, but keep it compressed and cool once you reach into the building okay? I love you so much sweetie, and have a wonderful day!”

Well, that sure gave me a smile on my face and a day to look forward too. I quickly changed into the new shirt, grabbed my scarlet jacket, with my burgundy backpack, my breakfast and heading for the door until my grandpa called after me.

“Dash, I hope you have a wonderful first day and I am so sorry for swinging the door so hard,” He explained as he patted my head. “I hope that doesn’t cause your day to be a riot!”

“I am sure it won’t be, but don’t worry grandpa, you’re fine and I love you too! The both of you!”

My grandparents both waved goodbye to me, before my dad honked the horn of his car. I walked out the door letting my grandma lock it, and headed to the car. My dad zoomed out the driveway before heading down the street to only stop at a traffic light. The pain from my nose started to die down which was a great thing, but once I looked into my phone’s camera, my nose was a very dark shade of cherry. I groaned in disappointment before my dad looked over at me as the light turned green.

“Aww sweetheart, don’t worry about your nose, ya look fine.”

I didn’t want to believe him because any high schooler would make fun of your appearance, no matter how good or bad you look. If you don’t look popular like the popular kids, get prepared for bullying. My phone vibrated and as I checked to see who it was, it was a text message from Sunset Shimmer.

“Heyo Dash! How ya been? U haven’t texted me back in like, what was it? 3 millenniums? My dude, I was worried about ya, hope all is well!”

Reading Sunset’s message almost made me choke on my eggs. Sunset hasn’t changed her attitude at all. She’s still the same Sunset that I left hanging around back in second grade. Thinking about how much time has passed, I should go visit her one day. It’s been years since I’ve last seen her, and I am sure she’s matured way more than me. I am fifteen years-old and I still have my baby face, but I have matured with longer hair and maybe grew my breast size a little. All of these questions about my maturity level made me forget that I had a container of breakfast which probably became cold right now. I happen to take a tiny bite and discovered that the food was still warm. At the corner of my eye, my dad pulled up to this enormous building. The walls were painted with a nice maroon color, and the windows were baby blue. There was a white horse statue near the front of the building and four golden horse head statues on each part of the school. At the left of my view, there was a golden horseshoe with the little “C” embedded in it. There were even a few kids running around in their little groups heading inside the building. Suddenly, my palms started to become sweaty which send a nervous chill down my body. My dad came to a full stop then turned his head towards me.

“Well kiddo, your first day of being in a new high school!” He exclaimed as he grabbed something from the back seat. “Here, I want you to wear this to show your Canterlot spirit! I wore that when I was your age when we used to have football games!”

In his hands was a blue cap with yellow rims and there was a letter “C” which was gold on the top of the cap. It wasn’t new at all, but I could tell he put it in the washing machine, probably last night for me to wear it today. I didn’t want to put a cap on my head, but since my nose looks absolutely terrible, I decided to wear the cap. After placing it on my head, my dad placed a genuine smile which made my nervousness stop. He even had light tears in his eyes before he hugged me and gave me a smooch on my forehead.

“I love you so much sweetie! And have a lovely day! And be careful of that nose!”

After kissing him on the cheek in return, I looked back at Scootaloo and she was smiling a bit too.

“Have a great day at school Squirt!” I blurted out before Scootaloo gave me a little punch on my shoulder before heading out the car.

After I piled all my supplies in my bag that I needed for school, I opened the car door slightly before leaving both my dad and Scootaloo in the car for themselves. My dad drove off in a hurry assuming that Scootaloo as well had to go to school before she was late herself. Seeing the car drove off made my heart sank as I turned around only to face the school right before my eyes.

I clutched onto the strands of my school bag before taking in a deep breath. As my feet started to walk along the grass, I heard a series of different voices standing in the school yard. There were a couple of kids playing with a football near the statue, and some other kids sitting on the grass listening to music with a speaker. Those same kids stared at me with a blank facial expression then started whispering some stuff to their friends. I didn’t want to be bothered by my nose of course, or maybe they were talking about the clothes I wore. Some other kids looked at me and cocked their heads to the side asking their friends where I came from. I honestly couldn’t be bothered by any of the students in this school. To be fairly honest, I was not supposed to be here, but of course, my dad’s job is his top priority right now, and what he says goes, right? All of a sudden, an extremely loud buzzer which sounded like those annoying telephones people used back in the day interrupted my train of thought and sent my body jumping in fright. All the kids that were outside goofing around started cramming towards the front doors. I wasn’t going to lie, but I got pushed around so much that I almost fell, but I had to be aware of my nose. By looking at these kids, I know that I am pretty short, but goodness, these kids are like freaking GIANTS!!!! I couldn’t see before my eyes but I was caught up in a line where hundred of kids were lining up for some type of ritual they had to do. As the line was getting shorter and shorter, I walked inside the doors and the inside was ginormous!! The floors were were baby blue and they were shimmering brightly like the janitor sweeped the floor clean. There were glass cases filled with tons of trophies and certain certificates dedicated to certain students. But before I could’ve amaze at the scenery, I was walking through a mysterious black rectangular space and without a warning, there sounded a very loud alarm sound which made me scream and there were also red flashing lights and then I knew, I walked into a metal detector. The other kids walked up to me and out of nowhere music started playing.

“Oh gosh! I’m so so sorry, I didn’t know!” I pleaded before most of the kids glared at me and formed a semi-circle around me.

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Move!
Move!

Other kids started walking up behind me sending me across the hallway in fright. I turned around only to find more kids getting behind me scaring me even more as if I just said something wrong that almost ticked off the whole school. One of the students, who was a male, whose skin was a very dark gray, his hair was slicked high up in a mohawk with mint colored hair, and he was wearing a jacket the colors of the cap that I was wearing on top of my head, walked over to me with a sly smile and shouted:

[THUNDERLANE]
Welcome to Canterlot!

[CANTERLOT GIRLS]
No he didn’t!

[THUNDERLANE]
Come on!

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Move!

[THUNDERLANE]

[CANTERLOT GIRLS]

[RAINBOW DASH]

Excuse me I'm trying to find my—

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Move!

[RAINBOW DASH]
Homeroom class
I’m looking for someone to follow
So I know my way
But everyone's going their own way now
Can somebody, anyone show me around?

Asking people around to find my class wasn’t easy because all they did to me, was push me away or scare me away while hanging with their groups. I was struggling to ask at least SOMEONE in this school for advice on how to get around. Anytime I tried to get the opportunity to take the risk to ask, but they would shoot be dirty glares and look at me up and down, like I was some type of strange creature they’ve never seen before.

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Don’t follow me! (Eyy!)
Why you on top of me? Leave me alone!
Do your own thing!

[BOYS]
Hey!

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Do your own thing! (Woah!)
Coming through! I ain’t following you, do whatcha gotta do!
DO your own thing! Do your own thing!
Crap! It’s. Time. For. Class!

And that’s when the same annoying bell rang and multiple kids started piling through the halls. The mad rush of students trampling over one another just to get to class was a definite struggle. I decided to stand to the far side of the hall just waiting for everyone to get to their respected classes. Some students were chatting with their friends, other taking selfies, and also some teachers outside their classrooms were shouting at kids for them to head to their next class, and of course, the kids didn’t listen. Without any remorse, I happen to spot these two boys standing by the nearest water fountain, laughing up a storm. Of course, I was taught to never talk to strangers but one of the boys from earlier with the green minty hair was with his other friend, who’s complexion was a mixture of gray and blue, his hair was a darker shade of blue which was slicked back and he was wearing a gray hoodie with jeans sagging from his bottom. Just looking at his appearance made my stomach churn from the insides. So, I decided to ask those two how to get around to the principal’s office.

[THUNDERLANE]
Yo, wassup man!

[WAVE CHILL]
Yo what it do kid? You got the stuff?

[THUNDERLANE]
Chopped and screwed it!

[WAVE CHILL]
Damn, I can’t wait to use it!

[THUNDERLANE]
I’m telling you it’s crack so don’t lose it!
Heyo, check it out it’s that sexy Skittle pack kid!

[RAINBOW DASH, spoken]
The name’s Rainbow Dash.

[WAVE CHILL]
I’m sorry, who’s this?

[RAINBOW DASH, spoken]
Are you guys selling crack?!

[THUNDERLANE]
Hah, don’t be stupid!
Dude, it’s a memory stick full of music!

[RAINBOW DASH]
Ugh, I’m sorry I’m such a doofus!
I’m jumping to conclusions, I’m useless

[THUNDERLANE]
Hey it’s cool, you’re new, you’ll get through this!

[RAINBOW DASH]
Right now I stand out like some toothpick!
I’m so confused as to who’s in who’s click?
Where are the surfer dudes? Who are the cool kids?

[WAVE CHILL]
We don’t travel in groups, but the truth is-

[WAVE CHILL & THUNDERLANE]
We do have a dance crew, and they’re ruthless!

Before I could’ve said anything else, a girl with light blue skin like mine, her eye color was also a close shade to mine, her hair was blue like her skin as well, with navy highlights, and was slicked into a ponytail while wearing a nice, medium sleeved burgundy shirt, with a very short light pink skirt. Her smile was showed by her pearly whites and her little dimples, as she danced to the center of the lobby of the school. Some students started walking out of their classes and decided to join the others who were there with the two boys and myself.

[STUDENT]
Sonata~

Followed by another girl, whose skin was a lavender shade, eyes a dark purple, her hair were two long dark purple (with very light green highlights) ponytails, two silver stars holding the two ponytails up high, with a creamish colored shirt, green jacket, and purple pants. She kept on a smug grin in her face as she walked down the lobby with extra sass, posing next to the previous girl.

[STUDENT]
Aria~

And assuming the next girl was the leader, she pushed the two girls aside, and started marching like a soldier ready for battle. Her large and puffy orange curls, bounced up and down on her head everytime she did a furious dance step. Her yellowish complexion and her dark maroon eyes focused on the crowd around her as the students started screaming as if they just seen Beyonce walking through the school doors. The girl wore a pink short sleeved jacket, with a dark purple shirt jumpsuit, and pink triangular stockings to match. Her shoes looked just as what Beyonce herself would wear, for the girl totally looked like a wannabe of the famous singer.

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Adagio!!~ Check it out now!
Move! Move!

[THUNDERLANE]
Make way for the crew!
They can prove you can really-

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Move!
Break ‘em off something new!
Let ‘em through they could really move!
Oh snap, you do your thing, go do your thing!

[ADAGIO]
Everybody move!

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
Oh snap, you do your thing, go do your thing!

[ADAGIO]
Everybody move!

[CANTERLOT STUDENTS]
OH snap, you do your thing, go do your thing!

As the three girls who moving down the hall, of course, I got trampled by a series of other students running towards them. A student pulled up a loud speaker and even more kids started crowding around making a heap of noise. A woman, who was much older than the rest of the students, who had a light cream skin tone, bright peach colored eyes, a beauty mark on the left side of her cheek, minty green hair, golden hoop earrings, and a very black and slick jumpsuit, started yelling at the kids, who were standing there in shock.

“You kids better head to class or else Im’ma call Vice Principal Luna on y’all!” She hollered across the hall in a pretty mild Spanish accent.

Well, that statement did it for everyone! Every last kid scrambled to their previous class like a herd of roaches and once everyone was gone, the hallways were pretty much empty. After being on the ground, hiding myself from the students, the same three girls walked over to my direction and started snickering to themselves. The leader, who assumed to be called Adagio, gave me a look as if she seen many new kids scurrying along her terf.

“Welcome to Canterlot sweetheart,” She scolded as she and her two other friends started laughing like the three hyenas from The Lion King.

I got up from the floor, realizing that I am on my own at this point. I grabbed my back without a hesitation and walked down the hall where I saw one of the students drinking from the water fountain. He didn’t seem like the type to take any drugs or smoke by any chance, but he seemed like a very calm and collective dude. He had fair red skin, white freckles on his cheeks, bright orange hair, and he wore some blue jeans and a green plain t-shirt. The student had a tumbleweed in his mouth after drinking the water, and was heading back to his class in a hurry. I ran right after him and once I caught up to him in the nick of time, he stepped back in shock.

“Ah, hello there sir, sorry to bother you on such short notice, but do you know where the main office is?” I remarked shyly before staring into his bright green eyes, which sent my cheeks to burn softly. He looked like a very handsome guy especially his arms. Those arms looked like they were working super hard for a long period of time, and by his height, he seemed like a senior, so I know there wouldn’t be any chance with him.

“Eeyup!” was his immediate response alongside with a very comfortable smile and a simple nod. His response was such music to my ears that I started clapping from excitement!

“Wonderful! Do you know where it is??”

The guy didn’t respond at my new question, or maybe I was going a little bit too fast for him. I flushed from embarrassment before shaking my head in dismay as I tried to this over. But before anything else, the guy pointed down the hall to this room that said “Main Office” before smiling once again. I shook his hand as a sign of thanks before heading towards the office. To be fairly honest, I am most scared on how the principal was going to react or probably kick me out the school because I was late to school due to the rowdy students. I faced in front of a wooden framed door with glass in the middle of it and the words in gold, which read: “Main Office: Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.” I took a deep breath before opening the door slightly only to hear the door creaking loudly like in those Lifetime movies. The first thing I spotted was a woman with green, blue, and pink long curls reading some papers on her desk. I couldn’t be able to see the face by any chance but her skin complexion was a very fair pink hence my looking at her fingers. I stood there for a good few minutes because I am not that type of person that interrupts adult’s focus by any chance. After what seemed like forever, I decided to cough silently only to see the woman place the papers on the desk and stared at me with widened eyes.

“Um, my dad said you were expecting me?” I asked while fiddling with my fingers because at the moment, I knew anxiety was playing with my emotions right now.

“Oh, and my name is Rainbow Dash by the way!”

“Oh yes I know who you are,” The woman replied with a very soft, motherly voice as sweet as the freshest dewdrop falling on a leaf. Her eyes were a light purple and were very soft just like her voice. “You’re Bow’s child!”

I nodded my head in reply before the woman started stacking the papers she was once reading before, then walked to the other side of the room.

“You know your father and your mother were really top scholars in this school back in the day?”

“Really?!”

“Mhm, they were also the cutest couple in the 2000 year book! Heck, I should know, I was the one that helped them get together due to your father being a complete dork around your mother,” The principal laughed before searching for a book on the shelf. I started laughing myself just imagining my dad acting silly for mom’s delight.

“So, Ms. Rainbow Dash, did you have any trouble getting around?”

Although I wanted to be honest and tell her that her students are super rowdy, sells crack, and also are somewhat rude to new students, but I just nodded my head in reply. She looked back at me with a smirk and started laughing.

“Hmmm, you could be honest with me you know,” She smiled before turning on the printer. “I bet those kids treated you like some new species and were trampling over you huh?”

“Oh yes! Wait, how did you know?” I asked in shock before she handed me a sheet of paper which had my class schedule on it.

“I’ve been working here for 5 years Rainbow Dash, I know how rowdy these kids can get,” She sighed as she shook her head in dismay. “But, instead of me babbling about this school, why don’t you see it for yourself? You’ll be going on a tour of the school with one of the best students here.”

I for one was super glad to hear that I was going to be in good hands. I gave a sigh of relief as I looked around her room while sitting in one of the recliner chairs in her office. Knowing that both of my parents went to this school wasn’t a bad idea at all, so some kids can know what to expect from me, as well as some teachers too. I looked over to my right side only to see the principal pull up the intercom thingy and spoke it in ever so gently.

“Sunset Shimmer, please report to the main office! Sunset Shimmer, please report to the main office, thank you!”

As if someone electrocuted me, I gasped letting my eyes widened as big as they could get, and almost fell off the chair. I pretended to clean my ears as a sign to show that I couldn’t believe what I just heard, or was I dreaming.

“Wait, I am sorry principal, but did you JUST say, Sunset Shimmer???”

“Well, yes I did,” She smiled. “She’s a wonderful and respectful student who works diligently, and I wish most of the students here could be like her when it comes to her academics, and by the way, you may call me Principal Celestia!”

After hearing those words coming out of Principal Celestia’s mouth, my heart fluttered from pure excitement! I could finally see Sunset Shimmer after seven years! I dusted off my clothes and made sure I looked presentable after the whole time span we haven’t seen each other. I hope she hasn’t changed that much for me to not recognize her by any chance. Just thinking of encounting her once again made my palms sweaty. I mean, sure she’s my best friend, but it’s been so long and I hope she doesn’t judge the clothes I wear too. Without even breathing at the very slight moment, I happen to hear a deep, but not so so deep voice, with a hint of a chuckle in between before the door swung open. My heart immediately stopped beating that very split second, as my eyes averted in her direction.

“Don’t be a wimp Dash! She’s your bestie! Just, be yourself!” I thought to myself before shaking like a leaf in my chair as her footsteps drew closer and closer to Principal Celestia’s desk.

“You called for me Principal Celestia?” Her slight raspy voice grew much deeper from the last time we’ve seen one another and by looking up slightly without being seen, I saw her body figure from the back view, and my gosh, puberty hit her like a freaking school bus! Her hips were pretty wide, her butt had some curve to it as well. Her hair, still golden and crimson, lengthed to her back and flowed ever so gently. Just staring at my best friend, wishing to have the body like hers sent my cheeks to turn a light shade of pink.

“Yes I did! You are going to be touring the new junior student today, did you remember?”

“Oooh, that’s today? Oh, hehehe, of course I remembered,” She laughed hysterically before shooting her eyes over to me. I knew within myself that I was caught regardless, and no turning back either. I either say hi, or just look up at her with a smile. She walked over to where I was sitting, and I only saw her shoes directly in front of me as I began to shake violently in my chair.

“....R-Rainbow Dash? Is that you?”

Yup! This was it! My heart started pounding like those big drums you play in marching bands and my palms were wet like the ocean. I took a tiny breath in, and looked up only to see a radiant and gorgeous teenager with a light amber skin complexion, bright green eyes, and that majestic golden and crimson hair from what I remembered. The look she gave me, made my heart flutter before my cheeks turned into a very rouge color.

“Uhh, hehe yeah it is me Sunset,”

Her beautiful soft smile from before turned into the cheshire cat’s grin. She instantly started screaming to the top of her lung before pulled me out the chair into a lovely warm hug. She began to rock me back and forth nonstop, before staring into my eyes once again.

“Oh my gosh Dash! It’s you! It’s you! Aaahhh, oh my gosh! You still got your wittle chubby cheeks from when you were a baby!” She squealed as that remark alone made my cheeks turn from rouge to crimson. I even touched my own cheeks before looking away from her embrace, embarrassed.

“Gahh, Sunset!” I exclaimed before she firmly grabbed ahold of me before clutching me close to her body.

“Principal Celestia, do you know who this is????” Sunset asked as she started jumping up and down from excitement as Principal Celestia nodded her head while giggling softly. Honestly, I was super excited to see Sunset as well but I was still a little scared about certain things especially on what’s to come for the school year.

“Well, here is your tour pass and I will let all of your teachers know that you are giving Rainbow Dash the tour,” Principal Celestia smiled before handing Sunset and myself tour chains to hang around our necks. I stared at the tour pass before Sunset grabbed my hand before waving to the principal. We were both walking down the halls only to pass by some students skipping their current classes. I wondered why kids had to skip important lessons, yet they wonder why they end up failing the class. As all of this started pondering in my head, Sunset clogged my train of thought as she touched my nose softly before I flinched in fright.

“Oh my gosh, what happened to your nose???” She gasped before looking around the hallway with a devilish glare. “Who’s the person I have to fuck today?”

My eyes widened hearing Sunset’s choice of words which made me shudder. I shook my head immediately making sure she won’t get into a fight even though it is my first day here. Guessing she understood the memo, she gave a short sigh before shaking her head herself in dismay.

“Hey, sorry about that,” Her tone, imploring, as she smacked her forehead. “Today wasn’t a very good day.”

“But, the day just started, didn’t it?” I implied. Sunset stopped dead in tracks before giving me a light smirk.

“You right, but hey, you made my day so much better,” She continued before wrapping her arms around me. “Besides, what brings you back to New York?”

“Well, my dad got a new job as a police officer, so that’s the main reason as to why,” I stated while exhaling and tucked my hair behind my ears. Sunset nodded her head before her eyes widened to a male’s voice.

“Heyo it’s little miss SunShit!” The same boy, who’s name was Thunderlane who tried to help me around the school smirked at her while wrapping his arms around her. Sunset turned around and punched him hard in his chest before laughing.

“Hey! Do NOT call me that while I have a very special guest with me, ight?” She scolded at him as he held his hands in surrender before shooting his eyes towards me.

“Oh, hey Sexy Skittles!” was his comic response before winking at me. I rolled my eyes before letting out a long sigh as Sunset kept looking back and forth at the both of us.

“So, I see you two have met,” She smirked as I shot her a dirty look then turned my head over to Thunderlane.

“Yes, the boy who was selling crack to his friend while singing to me, yes I remember,” I stared at him before shrugging my shoulders alongside with my eyebrows as Thunderlane’s eyes widened as he was walking away but Sunset grabbed his collar then smacked him in the face, leaving me speechless.

“Dude, are you fucking stupid?!” She exclaimed as her face was in pure bitterness as Thunderlane was holding his cheek in pain. “You’re so lucky Dash is here because I would’ve beaten your ass to a pole!”

“It was just...crack..” He shyly responded as Sunset grew even more upset.

“Just crack??! Just fucking crack??!!” She yelled throughout the hallway as some kids started staring at her.

Her face was boiling hot and her stare was extremely deadly while she grabbed Thunderlane’s ear and ringed it ever so tightly. She shyly smiled at me and lifted her index finger as a sign of stating that she will be back. I ended up standing by the blue lockers in the hallway waiting for Sunset to arrive. After what seemed like, forever, Sunset walked back towards me while shuffling her hands together.

“Hah, so so sorry about that,” She smiled sarcastically. “I will totally kill him after school when I get the chance. He’s not supposed to be selling anything! That little fucker!”

“Um, you have changed….a lot since we have driven away from one another,”

Sunset looked down on me, her face showing perplexity before looking at the ground in dismay.

“Well, we all change over time and there’s really nothing we can do about it,” She shrugged her shoulders before walking a little ahead of me. And to be honest, she was actually right. People do change over time, and I bet she honestly felt the exact same way about me. She hardly spoken to me or anything, or maybe she just doesn’t know what to talk about, so that’s why I took a deep breath and caught up to her and tapped her shoulder.

“So, uh, how ya been with life and such?” I questioned as she looked at me and started chuckling.

“Yo, I’ve been pretty chill lately to be fairly honest, and what about you?” She asked before rubbing my head over and over again. “The girl who doesn’t tell me she happens to be in New York City! And by the way, I haven’t seen your dad in so so long haha, and what about your sister?”

“Oh Scoots? Yeah, she’s been fine, one heck of a troublemaker that’s for sure!”

“Hahaha, can’t relate sis!” Sunset replied while dying of laughter which also sent me dying of laughter as well. You know when you laugh at someone’s laugh when the joke wasn’t even funny. What made it even funnier, we both stopped laughing at the same time which made us laugh again.

“Oh! Forgot to show ya around, silly me!” She snickered before pointing to a room where we heard horns and violins. “I guess you can tell this is the instrumental major’s room.”

Sunset and I both peaked through the rectangular window of the door, only to see a group of kids gently stroking their violins, cellos, upright basses, flutes, clarinets, a set of timpanis, trumpets, and a whole other set of various orchestra instruments. The piece the students were playing a very familiar piece called “Spring of The Four Seasons” which was the same piece my mother used to play on the piano. Hearing this song again made my heart flutter from the insides then a heartfelt smile appeared across my face as Sunset looked down at me and started chuckling.

“We can’t be here all day!” She smiled before grabbing my arm but at the moment, I didn’t want to leave just yet! So, both of us were struggling to move to a different place. Sunset didn’t pull a grudge, so since I was smaller in height, she grabbed me by my waist and carried me on her shoulders. Of course, I screamed, not only for her to put me down, but that action was totally unexpected!

“Gahhhh, Sunset put me down this instant!!” I hollered before Sunset end up patting my butt a couple of times to shut me up, only to make me scream even louder.

“Damm sis!” She exclaimed while patting my butt even more. “My sis got the jat!”

Dumbfounded, yet also confused, I had NO idea what the word “jat” was but eventually Sunset put me down and gave me a smirk.

“What did you say?” were the words that escaped from my mouth as my cheeks painted a color of hot pink just as Sunset started laughing extremely hard.

“I said you got the jat, meaning you have a pretty thick ass if you ask me,” She smirked even more causing her seductive smirk to reach to her right cheek only to see her eyebrows flick up and down a lot as well. My face started turning a darker shade of pink and I could feel the heat rising each time her eyebrows did that, flicking thingy!

“Sunset stop!!!” I swatted her hands away from me leading up to the fact where her laughter ended up turning into snorts. Just seeing her laughing made my body boil in anger as I scrunched up my nose and I knew my face was probably turning red. From Sunset’s reaction, she eventually stopped then wiped some tears across from her eyes.

“Oh come on Dash!” She pleaded before snickering here and there. “Don’t be such a party-pooper! You haven’t changed a bit, haven’t you?”

Her question made my heart stop beating and then ponder to myself as to why she doesn’t like me the way I am. Do I have to change for her? Should I change? Must I do it in order to fit in this high school? I wasn’t even paying attention as to what she was saying but all I heard Sunset say was:

“Hah, Pinkie Pie wouldn’t allow you to be a party pooper!”

“Um, who's Pinkie Pie?” I asked as Sunset stared at me while snickering a little bit.

“Oh trust me! You will know who she is,” She smiled as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders. Something tells me that this school year will be different. Maybe I’ll meet new friends and new teachers. Who knows? Maybe this year won’t be too bad…..
