Chapter 1

At Canterlot High School

My name is James Thunder and I’ve now achieved my dream of being a singer/songwriter..... is what I would say if that actually happened. But as of right now I’m still in High School on my sometimes shitty Senior Year. Well at least just about half the time some bitches I know since my elementary school be talking shit about me, but they know that I’m gonna prove them wrong anyways.

I always had the dream of being a singer, then I get to sign with a record label and I could experiment all sorts of different sounds. I listen to all sorts of music both old school and new school.

Anyways enough about the shit I like, it was currently the end of 1st Period and everyone was getting out of class.

I get to my locker to grab two of my notebooks for Science and History class. I looked at my watch and I’m 2 and an half minutes until the next class. I was running late so I had to run over there to save some time. I ran as fast as I could to get to class, but then I was sidetracked, and by that I mean I accidentally crashed into another girl.

I seen lots of girls obviously, I even had a girlfriend once but I broke up with her since she used me, but this girl was extraordinary to me. Her hair was somewhat a mix between red and yellow, and she wore a black leather jacket over a light blue shirt, with authentic jeans and boots, and her eyes..... let’s just say when I look into those teal blue eyes they were the cutest thing on earth possible the entire universe in my opinion.

“Oh My God I’m so soooo sorry,” the bacon-haired girl says as we help pick up each other’s books.

“No No No It was my fault I wasn’t looking where I was...” I cut my sentence short as I look into her eyes and she looks into mine. We got trapped in each other’s gaze for while, then snapped to our senses.

“Um... well I guess... here you go,” I hand the books that had her name on it and gave it to her as she gives me my books.

“Y... Yeah..... sorry,” she apologizes once again I was going to reply but the bell rang.

“Damn, I’ll see you later,” I say to the bacon-haired girl I was running late for class.

2 Hours Later

———————————————————————————————————————
It was currently lunch time so I packed my bag and went to the cafeteria. I just sat at a lunch table alone since... I don’t really have anyone to talk to or to feel comfortable with. Four of my old friends I knew did attend at CHS, but unfortunately they moved to a different state or city while some moved to Crystal Prep.

You probably think I still have some company at home, well... You might be right and wrong. Both of my parents died when I was 12 years old and none of my other relatives couldn’t just come over to where I’m at since they have their own homes to take care of. It’s mostly me and my grandma in the house so I still have some love and support, but she had to go down to Manehatten to take care of some personal business with her sister, I never felt so alone in my life.

I try to take my mind off of that thought by pulling out my personal red notebook that has tape on it that says: Journal. It says it on the front but the twist is that it’s actually my own songwriting book where I keep the songs I wrote on my own. I kept that a secret so no one knows about it accept for my close friends & family. It’s more like a ‘wait till I die, then show it to the world’ type of thing.

I was still in the works of perfecting the lyrics, especially on the page that’s title ‘Call Me’. As I was working on the lyrics I heard someone sitting right in front of me, and guess what? It was the same girl that I bumped into in the hallways. I don’t really know what she wants, but I just ignored it until she says something.

“Uh... H... Hey,” she manages to say it but she sounds hesitant.

“Oh, Hey didn’t notice you there,” I replied back and pretended I didn’t notice her.

“Soooo... I’m sorry about crashing right into you awhile ago,” she apologizes once again as she already did a couple hours ago.

“Oh No it’s okay, I wasn’t looking where I was going,” I said as I got back to writing on in my notebook. She looks at me writing in my notebook but then I look and try to keep the conversation going as 30 seconds of silence.

“I don’t mean to be rude or anything but, do you need something?” I said.

“Oh Me? No No, I just wanted to sit with you, you seemed like you needed someone to talk to you know?”

I guess she’s right I did need someone to talk to, but now I have this weird feeling... I don’t know what it is though but what I do know is that I don’t think I’ll ever feel the same ever again.

“Well... Yeah I guess,” I said almost nervously, I felt like I was dying from a heat stroke and a state of shock at the exact same time just by looking at her, my heart beating ever so rapidly.

“I don’t think I caught your name by the way,” she asks for my name and I introduced myself.

“The name is James. James Thunder and you are?” I asked in return for her name.

“It’s Sunset Shimmer, you seem like a nice guy, it’s a shame no one wants to talk to you,” That was the nicest thing she ever said to me. Well For fucks sake that’s the nicest anyone ever said to me.

“Say what you got there?” Sunset asks as she points at the notebook I was writing in.

“Oh... Err...” I hesitated since I mostly keep this special notebook a secret from anyone else other than my friends or family or any other relative of mine. But for Sunset Shimmer I’d be willing to make an exception, she’s just... SO DAMN CUTE.

“...well I mostly keep this a secret but, I guess I tell you, it’s not like it’s gonna hurt anyone right?” I joked and she chuckled at that thought.

“You see it contains some songwriting material in here, I always had the dream of becoming a singer you know? Singing, Dancing, Performing in front of hundreds and thousands of people,” Sunset seemed amazed at that thought, giving a nice ‘whoa’ gives away the fact that she likes the idea.

“Hey, if you like I can help with recording the songs, I mean... Of course if you lov... I mean if you... you want me help,” she says then laughs nervously as she sounded a little off between gaps of her sentence. She sounded like she said something else before asking to have her help me out, but what?

“Sure, do you sing?” I asked as she beamed up with a smile on her face.

“Yes, I can sing pretty well,” Sunset confirmed, I already like where this is going, maybe Sunset and I can work together on lyrical content between songs like Lennon and McCartney from The Beatles.

“Do you play drums or keyboard of any kind?” I ask so I can know if we play the same instrument.

“I can play guitar,” she says after I asked.

“No way, I play guitar too,” I say with a surprised expression. Both of us were surprised at each other, we were gonna go on with the conversation but the school bell already rang before we attempted to do so..... shit.

“Damn, well I gotta go see y...”

“No WAIT!” Sunset successfully cut me off and gesture me to stay where I’m at.

“Um... Do you want to... you know, meet after school?” She asks. I did have to go back to my class soon, but I really do wanna see Sunset again... for some reason.

“Of Course, I love too," I smiled as Sunset began to smile too.

We agreed to meet outside at the front right after school. I got a felling that I’m gonna be alone after all.
