Canterlot High ? Ok...
Settle in a new location
Load Full StoryNext ChapterA bunch of cars are driving through the massive field on the highway, one driver in the red car was listening to the radio about the news, while the other driver in another car was listening to the music and nodding his head and driving at the same time. Then, a black car passes by him, but this isn't just any car, it's a 1970 Dodge Charger, and who was inside of that awesome car ?
There were two people inside of that car,introducing myself, James Maxwell, a 15 year old teenager just sitting in the passenger seat scrolling through my phone, and the driver and my guardian, Connor O'Brian, was driving the car.
"Hey James, still miss NYC ?" He asks me.
"Yes, but no, that old me was already gone, I just want to restart and forget about my old life, those traces of it has already been shattered, and I just want to get the hell outta there." I replied.
You see, I was used to lived in New York City before my aunt asked both of us to move to another city to restart my life, because my mom died in a bombing when I was 5 years old, then my dad died in a car accident while I was at 7th grade, forcing me to drop out of my old school 3 weeks later after his death, and lived the rest in my quiet, depressed, and self guilt life.
Then, my aunt asked us to whether move to another city or not, I said yes, so she choosed Canterlot City, Oregon. She also registered my application at Canterlot High and bought a house for us to settle in.
"Here we are mate, Canterlot City." He told me as I looked at the sign that it reads the city's name.
"And why's that ?" I asked him.
"To restart your new life, don't you want it ?" He replied.
"Guess so." I replied to him.
"But hey, how bout we drive around the city before we find our new house ?" He asks.
"Why though ? I just wanted to have a rest after that long ass trip." I replied to him.
"We can probably look around the city so we'll go there when we settle in." He said.
"Alright then, suit yourself." I replied.
So, we proceeded to explore the area, finding a mall, which I might asked looks just like any other malls in America.Then, we eventually find a 50s style diner, which honestly is pretty outdated, but still adds a good vibes for me.
Ok, after finding some interesting locations, we finally arrived to my school that I'll be supposed to go there by one month later.
"There it is, Canterlot High." As he stops the car for me to look around.
The school from my perspective was massive as hell, it almost looks like a college campus or something else. There's also a horse statue in front of the school, which I might ask, who the hell would really choose a horse as their identity ? Guess no other options.
Anyways, I saw some students were hanging out around the school entrance, among them were those 7 girls.
There's one with the purple haired girl with glasses, another girl with a hair witb red and yellow stripes that looks like ketchup and mustard for some reason but no offense. There's also a girl with a white pale skin with dark purple hair, another one wearing a stetson and actual cowboy boots, don't know why.
There's also an athletic girl with a rainbow-pattern hair, talking to a girl with a long pink hair with pets running around, probably love animals ? And lastly, one girl with a afro hair that always happy. All of those girls with coloured hair and their personality makes me think twice about going there.
"Hey James ? Don't you wanna go to our new house ?" Connor asks me as he interrupts me.
"Ok, let's go then." As we drives off into the neighborhood for our house.
30 minutes later
"Here we are,now we just gonna have to search our house." He said.
He took out his phone and looked at the photo of the house that my aunt had sent to him.
"Alright James,when you see this house, just let me know alright ?" He asked me.
"Yeah yeah." I replied.
So, as we explored the area, I spotted the house and comparing the photo, it's a match.
"Hey Connor, that's the one." As I pointed at it for him.
"Ok then." As he replied to him and drove to the house.
"Right, here we are, let's explore." As we arrived at the house.
By the time when we got out of the car, I felt very uneasy about the house, sure it's new since it was built in 2018, but it kinda reminded me of something that it was from a game but only remember the name of 'Story Mode'. We walked up to the porch as Connor takes out his keys to the door to open it.
"Alright then, let's explore." He said.
As he opened the door, we looked around the house for a bit, the living room has 3 doors that lead to the hallways, probably not normal at all. The kitchen/dining room is very small that it has barely has any room.
I went up to the second floor that it has 3 bedrooms, perfect for us to slept in.
Then, a moving van just arrived in time for us to move our stuff in. After moving our stuff into our rooms, we finally sat down on the couch in the living room for a very relaxing rest.
"Now that we finally settled in, ready for your new life ?" Connor asked me.
"Yeah, I guess, but I still missed my parents." I said to him.
"I know, James, but all that's in the past." He said.
"Look Connor, my father was the only parent Ieft, he cares about me a lot during my childhood, he not only bought some toys or tech that I loved, I also sat with him while watching TV." I explained.
"But hey, I'm also part of the family right ? Well not technically part of it." He asks.
"You are part of it Connor, I probably didn't care about you as much since I always stick around with my father. But after his death, I realized you're the only person that can take care of me." I said to him.
"Hey hey, I've been taking care of you ever since, sometimes you need my help and I'll be there, right ? That's what a partner would do." Connor said to me.
"I guess you're right then, you're very important to me." I replied.
"Come here." As we started hugging each other.
"Alright how about you go to your room first and I'll call you when dinner's ready ?" He asked.
"Sure." I replied to him as I walked out of the living room.
As I entered my bedroom, I lay on my bed, thinking about whether I made the right decision or not, after all, I've never contacted my friends ever since I dropped out, maybe a restart is probably the only option I have.
However, it always bugs me that some rumors saying that the students at CHS whoever anyone who rejects someone's request for a friend, they would immediately look at you and starts talking about the rejection to the others. If so, I might had to tackle this issue.
I also had to remind you that I remember saw a tweet on Twitter a year ago from a user that I don't remember posted a tweet about him at CHS, the tweet reads :
First day of school, and I already want to run for the hills.
It kinda makes me think twice about it, but didn't care shortly afterwards.
However, since I got a month to get use to this new environment, I'll have all the time I needed to prepare myself for a new school.
But come on, Canterlot High can't be that bad, right ?
I guess I have to wait till I go there.
