Canteen 1:15pm

In the canteen, there were many ponies and changelings seated together in benches around each other in the large canteen. It is about 500-600 centimeters square, making it one of the largest school canteens in Equestria.

The students all bought their lunches by the cash area. After they have paid their bits for them, they all took a seat with each other near the benches.

Twilight Sparkle was seen lining up at the end of the line, and she has been waiting for two minutes. At least she was close to the counter where she will get her lunch. After the stallion pony in front of her has left with his lunch on his tray, it was finally Twilight's turn. So, she walked to the counter and saw the lunch-mare standing behind it.

"Hello there, what do you want to have today?"

"I'll have a spaghetti please." Twilight told her.

"That would be four bits please.

Twilight nodded and pulled out four bits from her purse. After that, she placed them on the counter.

The lunch-mare collected the bits and placed them in a plastic cylinder with many other bits. After that, she brought out a tray on the counter and placed a bowl of spaghetti, a plastic fork and a glass of water on the tray.

"Enjoy your lunch sweetheart."

"Thank you." Twilight said as she grabbed the tray.

After that, she turned around and walked to the area where the benches were.

Once Twilight got to the benches area, she looked around the tumoltuous place to see if there are any seats she could sit on. After scrutinizing the area for a brief second, she noticed that most of the benches were already taken. But, all except for one in the middle of the large room.

"Well, at least I can eat my lunch." Twilight told herself. Then, she began to walk to the bench.

Once she got to it, she placed her tray on the bench table and sat down on the bench. After that, she began to eat her lunch. But first, she wanted to drink some water to hydrate herself. So, she levitated the glass cup of water in the air with her magic and sipped her water.

"Hey you."

Twilight immediately chocked on the water and spat it out. She coughed a little from the sudden action she did. After five seconds, she wiped her lips with her left hoof and opened her eyes. Then, she noticed that she has spat water directly at a light purple unicorn mare with purple hair, and next to her was a blue unicorn.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Twilight apologized "I was just startled by your sudden appearance." She told her hoping that she would forgive her. But instead, the unicorn shook her head in disappointment.

"Wow, not only are you a screwup, you also only resort to coming up with excuses from your mistakes." The unicorn told her. And Twilight was slightly offended by her statement.

"H-hey, that's impertinent." Twilight told her.

"You think I care?!" Starlight yelled which made Twilight flinch "Do you even know who I am?" She asked.

"Uh... a student?" Twilight assumed, and that made both two of the unicorns frown.

"My name is Starlight Glimmer, one of the top students in this school, and this is my friend Trixie." Starlight introduced herself and her friend "I have earned five trophies and awards last year in this school. In addition to that, I have won the championship in mares soccer last year." She told her.

Twilight was astonished by the achievements that this unicorn mare disclosed to her. She must be a very wise to achieve all of those awards and trophies. Plus, winning the soccer championship does seem very difficult.

"That's impressive." Twilight said with a smile "My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am new here and-"

"Why are you introducing yourself to me?" Starlight asked with a perplexed expression.

"Uh... so that we can be friends?" Twilight replied. The remark then made both the unicorn mares snicker.

"Hahahahaha! You think I would like to hang out with an idiot like you?" Starlight asked in an incredulous tone.

"Yeah newbie, no ponies or changelings would like to befriend a moron like you." Trixie insulted.

Twilight was now very hurt from the resentful remarks from the two unicorn mares. Today is her day of school, it was suppost to be very delightful and she has plans to make lots of friends. But, these two mares here were just very impertinent.

"Hey." Twilight said as she stood up from her bench "That is not nice you know, it is impertinent to-"

Twilight wasn't able to finish her sentence when the mare delivered a slap to her left cheek. The impact of the attack made Twilight lean to the right, she maintained her balance by placing her right hoof on the bench. Then, she began rubbing her left cheek with her left hoof.

"Shut up you stupid mare! You're the one who started the whole mess to yourself when you spat water directly at my beautiful hair." Starlight said as she rubbed her drenched hair. After a brief second, she glared at Twilight. "You're nothing but an ugly moron." She insulted.

When Twilight heard the insult, tears began to form in her eyes. She then turned around and ran to the doors of the canteen while sobbing her eyes out. Leaving Starlight and Trixie standing there with satisfied smirks on their muzzles.

The ponies and changelings in the canteen were all very shocked to see what Starlight and Trixie have done to the new student. But, they all decided to disregard it and proceed with eating their lunch, none of them had the guts to challenge the school's top students.

However, one changeling felt bad and sympathetic towards the poor mare. So, he got up from his bench and ran to catch up to her.

In an empty hallway on the second floor, Twilight Sparkle was seen sitting on a brown bench with her left hoof on her left cheek while crying and sobbing after what had happened to her.

"Why is this happening to me?" Twilight thought "Does everyone else here view me as a reckless and ugly mare?" She asked herself sadly.

However, Twilight's cries was soon put to an end when she felt a presence near her. She opened her eyes and looked up and saw a changeling in front of her looking down at her with a warm smile.

"Hello there." The changeling greeted.

"Um... h-hello."

"Can you let me see your wound please?" The changeling asked kindly.

Twilight nodded and removed her left hoof from her right cheek. Then, the changeling pulled out a small iodine bottle. He twisted the cap open and dipped some of the chemical substance on a small towel. After that, he placed the iodine back in the floor and twisted the cap back into it.

"This might sting a little so, I need you to endure it." The changeling informed her. And Twilight nodded, she knew what medicine and chemical substances were capable of.

The changeling slowly raised his right hoof and inched the towel near the unicorn's left cheek. Once it got to it, the changeling began to slowly and gently rub the alcohol which made her flinch in return. After fifteen seconds, the changeling was finished with the medical process and teleported the towel into a garbage bin.

"There, all better." The changeling told her with a smile "And sorry I do not have a bandage so, you will need to let it dry and heal on its own." He informed her.

Twilight Sparkle was truly stunned by the amount of kindness the changeling was expressing towards her. Back in class, many changelings and ponies kept laughing at her from making mistakes and other kinds of stuffs. But, the good-hearted manner that the changeling is expressing her truly astounded her.

"Th-thank you."

"You're welcome. My name is Thorax." He introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you Thorax, my name is Twilight Sparkle."

"Twilight Sparkle?" He asked, and Twilight nodded "That's a very cute name you got there." He told her. And Twilight's cheeks flushed slightly from his remark.

"Thank you. No one has ever complimented about me for so long." She told him, and that made Thorax chuckle.

*RING!*

"Oh! That's the bell, I have mathematics next." Thorax said.

"Really? I have maths too."

"Well that's a coincidence." Thorax said with a chuckle, and Twilight giggled in return "Shall we go to our classroom?" He asked.

Twilight's eyes the widened because, she has just realized that she has left something in the canteen.

"Oh no, I have left my schoolbag in the canteen!" Twilight exclaimed in shock.

"You mean this?" Thorax asked levitating a purple coloured schoolbag in front of her with his magic.

"Yes! Thank you!" Twilight said grabbing her backpack with a smile.

"You're welcome. Anyways, come on, we don't want to be late for our class." Thorax said extending his right hoof offering to help her up.

Twilight blushed slightly from the sight, but she shrugged it off and grabbed Thorax right hoof with her left. After that, Thorax pulled her back up on her hooves.

"Come on, class is that way." Thorax told her, and Twilight nodded in response.

After that, he began to guide Twilight to the classroom where they will have their mathematics class. During their walk, Twilight was staring at Thorax with glittering eyes from the amount of politeness he is currently giving her.

"Wow, Thorax looks handsome." Twilight thought with her cheeks flushing slightly.
