Razor slowly walked through the schools halls. His saddle bag was on his back; filled with the necessary books and equipment needed for the day. This was his first day of attending the friendship school. And, he was already feeling single out by the others. As he walked through the halls to his first class. He noticed how some students were purposely avoiding him. Normally he would not be bothered by the acts. But, every now and then he would be emotionally hurt by the acts. He turned down another hall; heading right for the gym. Today, his first class of the day was gym. When he reached the doors he slowly opened them. Inside the gym he saw the six students he had met yesterday. None of them seemed to pay him any attention.

“As I assumed.” Razor mumbled to himself before walking over to the bleachers. He sat down on the bottom row; using his magic to set his saddlebag down. He then took a book he had packed for himself out of the bag. It was a book on daggers and other large knives.

Ocellus noticed Razor sitting alone on the bleachers. She wanted to go speak with him. But, after yesterday the idea quickly went to the back of her head. At the moment her and her friends were sitting in the middle of the gym. Each of them were talking to each other about yesterday. Some of them talked about how boring some of their classes are. Or, how easy most of them were. At one point Gallus had made a funny comment. Causing all of them to have a good laugh. As she laughed Ocellus found herself looking at Razor again. Watching as he sat on the bleachers; focusing only on the book he read.

“Everything okay, Ocellus?” Smolder asked.

Ocellus jumped when she was suddenly asked the question. It made her friends chuckle a little. Making her blush in embarrassment. While Smolder rubbed the back of her head. Chuckling a little at her unintentional scare.

“Sorry, Ocellus.” Smolder apologized.

Ocellus smiled and laughed a little also, “It's okay Smolder.” She responded.

“Anyway,” Smolder began, “What's on your mind?” She asked.

Ocellus motioned her head towards Razor. Her friends looked in the direction she had motioned towards. Gallus shook his head while sighing heavily.

“What are you worried about that jerk for?” He asked in a really uncaring tone.

Sandbar looked at Gallus, “Hey, not cool Gallus. He's not a jerk.” He said causing Gallus to glare at him.

“Tell that to my sore cr-.” Gallus was interrupted by the gym doors opening.

The sound of a whistle was heard echoing through the gym. The students got to their feet and made their way to Coach Dash. Who stood just in front of the entrance to the gym. Razor looked up from his book. He saw the other students in his class gathering in front of the mare from yesterday. He put his book back into his saddlebag and walked over. Standing with the others in his class as Coach dash began to march in front of them.

“Alright,” She began in a loud tough voice, “As you all already know. We have a new student joining our class today,” She continued before her gaze focused on Razor, “So, everybody, please give a warm welcome to Razor Edge.” She finished introducing the colt to his classmates.

Nobody bothered to look at him. Since they were already acquainted with him. The silence that followed was a little awkward. But, thankfully Rainbow dash broke the silence with a clearing of her throat. Her students focused on her; just as she flew up. Only to fly to the gym; her students followed her to the center. Once they stood in front of her again she spoke.

“Okay, class,” She began, “Today, my class is going to be a little longer than usual,” She informed causing everyone-except for Razor-to look at her in confusion, “Reason why is because Fluttershy; had an animal emergency at home. So, for today you're spending first and second period here.” She finished causing them all to groan in annoyance.

“Sounds interesting.” Razor said in response.

Rainbow dash then blew her whistle and began to put the class through their exercises. First it was three running laps around the gym. Followed by rope climbing and weight lifting. By the time they reached the class reached weight lifting. Most of them were starting to run on fumes. The only ones still going were Smolder, Gallus, and Razor. Smolder and Gallus were obvious; Their species were more built for repetitive physical activity. While as for Razor; he acted more like a robot. Whenever he was told to do something. He would just do it. By the time the class ended; the entire class was doing their best to catch their breaths.

“Take five everyone!” Rainbow yelled causing her students release a sigh of relief. Some of them dropped to the floor. While others walked to the bleachers to sit and rest. Razor had separated himself form everyone again. He walked back to the area he sat in before; using his magic to pull his book out again.

Ocellus watched as Razor sat by himself in the gym. She didn't like the though of anybody sitting by themselves. With a sigh she stood up and walked over to him. When she was close enough she sat down next to him. She stayed quiet at first; she just simply sat there staring forward. While he read his book. She then cleared her throat and prepared to speak.

“You're name is Ocellus,” Razor suddenly said in his robotic like voice, “We met yesterday in the library.” He finished before turning to another page.

Like Smolder yesterday; she was left with her mouth hanging open. She quickly closed her maw and though about what to say. She was about to speak but Rainbows' whistle interrupted her. Everyone in the gym got in front of Rainbow dash as fast as they could.

“Alright, breaks over!” She said in a serious tone, “For the second part of this class; we will be doing an endurance test,” She continued causing worried looks to appear on the students faces', “So lets get started with one-hundred sit ups.” She finished before blowing her whistle.

The students were put through five different sets of exercises. First it was the one-hundred sit ups. After that she had her students run in place. That was when they lost Yona and Sandbar. The third was one-hundred leg lifts. They lost Silverstream to that exercise. The fourth was ten weighted jumping jacks. By the time they reached one hundred push ups. It was just Ocellus, Smolder, Gallus, and Razor left. For the last part Rainbow dash joined them.

“Come on!” Rainbow yelled, “Only fifty more to go!” She finished earning herself a couple of groans. She chuckled to herself as she continued to do the exercises.

“Ocellus.” Razor had suddenly said.

“Yes, Razor.” She replied as she struggled to push herself back up.

“Will you please stop staring at my flank. I find it annoying when ponies stare at me.” He said causing Ocellus to fall to the floor in shock.

Both Rainbow dash and Smolder came to a sudden stop. Neither of them could believe what he had just said. Gallus was still doing the exercise; but, he was snickering a little. Causing Ocellus to blush a little in shame.

“Gallus can you please do the same.” Razor spoke sending Gallus to the floor in shock.

Rainbow dash could not hold it back anymore. She fell to the floor laughing loudly; causing a huge blush to appear on Gallus's face. She laughed until her stomach started to hurt. While Razor had finished the exercise. Once she manged to pull herself together; she blew her whistle and told them to hit the shows.

Razor stood calmly underneath the running water. His mane becoming drenched and draping over his eyes. As he stood there; he was suddenly spun around and pressed against the wall. His face remaining void of emotion. While Gallus glared at him in anger.

“Gallus, calm down!” Sandbar yelled.

“What in the name of tartarus is your problem!” Gallus yelled at Razor.

“Asperger's.” Razor replied calmly causing Gallus to press him further into the wall.

“You know what I mean!” Gallus spoke in anger.

“No, I do not,” Razor responded, “All I did was ask you and Ocellus to stop staring at my flank.” He finished.

Gallus tightened his grip on Razor, “You didn't need to say it out,” He stopped when he noticed that Razor was looking down, “Hey, look at me when I am talking to you!” He yelled.

Razor looked back up at him, “You forgot about your species.” He said.

“What!?” Gallus screeched ready to use his talon on him.

Razor kept his calm look, “You forgot about your species. When a male enters conflict with another male,” He then looked back down and Gallus followed his gaze. His eyes going wide at what he saw, “Your kind grows a-.”

“Ah!” Gallus yelled as he backed away; sat down and used his talons to cover himself. His face was as red as a apple.

“No, need to be ashamed,” Razor tried to reassure, “It is a natural response for you. I believe there is book in the library. If you want I can.” He was interrupted by Sandbar suddenly grabbing Gallus.

Sandbar smiled nervously, “Excuse us, Razor.” He said while dragging Gallus out of the locker room.

Razor stood there, blinked his eyes once and turned around. He walked back and sat down underneath the running water. A sigh escaped from him as he looked down at the pooling water bellow. His reflection stared back up at him. With a gentle flip of his hoof; he flicked the water and distorted his image.

“I wish I wasn't so different.” He mumbled to himself before using his magic to shut off the water. He then used his magic to grab a towel to dry himself off. Once he dried off; he picked up his saddlebag and walked out of the locker room. Entering a now empty gym; he sighed again as he began to walk towards the gyms exit. Ready to finish his first school day.
