Anon-A-Miss: Soul of Friendship

I walked in through the front doors of Canterlot High. Ready to start my new day. I won't be making much friends here. I'll say that. Maybe just one or at most three but defnitley not a group. First things first, I need to get a schedule. I decided to ask someone where the Principal's office was. Everyone didn't seem really excited that there was a new student here. That didn't bother me too much. At my old school, we weren't very excited either.

"Hey! You new here?" Someone called out to me. A blue haired boy with a gray jacket, jeans, and tennis shoes came up to me.

"Uh yeah," I might as introduce myself. "I'm Jordan Steel. I'm new here and I came from Philydelphia."

"Nice to meet you, Jordan. I'm Flash Sentry."

I looked around us and noticed the other students having not so cheerful expressions as they talked amongst themselves. "Not a very cheerful place is it?" I laughed a little. Flash laughed too.

"It wasn't always like this. After a certain incident that caused a girl to go missing."

"Who was it?" I asked beginning to get interested.

"Her name was Sunset Shimmer." At that moment I realized that name sounded very familiar. I knew why.

"hehe- I uh. That's funny."

"It is?"

"Y-yeah. Because see I have a 5 year old sister who has imaginary friends, and her friend name is also Sunset Shimmer."

"That is a huge coincidence." Flash commented. I could feel another headache coming on so I asked Flash where the nearest bathroom was. "Down the hallway straight across." Then I asked him where the Principal's office was. He told me it was just three doors down the bathroom.

I thanked him and went to the bathroom first. I washed my face so I could ease my headache. What happened next almost made me jump. As I lifted my head from the sink, I saw a figure reflected in the mirror. More specefically a teen girl with fire red and yellow hair, leather jacket, and purple skirt. She had an expression of sadness. She just stood there and I nearly shouted and turned around at an insane speed. There was no one there. What the fuck?!.

Another student was in there with me. "You ok, dude?" he asked. I shakily nodded my head.

"Yeah, I thought I saw....something. Did you see it too?" I asked hoping I wasn't losing it.

"No, man. There was nothing. Just us two." He left the bathroom and I looked back at the mirror. There was no one there. No one like how it should be. My breathing was louder than before. Am I going crazy? I saw it....I saw her...I know I did. I looked behind me. No one was there. As there was no one in the reflection. I went outside and made my way torwards the Principal's Office. I knocked on the door and waited for a response.

"Come in!" a woman's voice called. I let myself in and saw the Principal at her desk. A middle aged woman with light rainbow hair and a brown suit. "Hello, there. You must be the new student that I was expecting." she smiled warmly. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Principal Celestia."

"You too, Ma'am. I'm wondering if this is the place to get my schedule." She nodded and gave me my schedule from under her desk.

"These are all your classes for this spring's semester." she informed. I took the schedule from her hands and looked at it. First to Last were in the following order: Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Canterlot History, Phys Ed, Off Period. "You have lunch right after Calculus and before History"

"Alright. Well thank you."

"It's a pleasure. If there's anything else you need, my door is always open."

I left her office and looked at my schedule. First is Chemistry, not my best one but Im decent at it. Classes were located by a letter and three numbers. Luckily there were signs that told me which hallways were which and I had no trouble finding my classrooms. I went to Chemistry first. The teacher there was an elderly man with a goatee and short white beard. He had on a dark brown jacket and matching pants.

"Greetings, young man." he said. "You must be new here. I'm your chemistry teacher. Mr. Discord. Take a seat anywhere." He turned torwards the other students. "I expect you to show our new student your respect. Am I clear?" They all nodded. I took my seat closer to the back of the classroom and took out my notebook to write notes. Right now we're learning about nuclear reactions. I realized I don't have a pencil.

"Um, scuse me?" I asked the girl in front of me. She had blueish purple hair and wore a purple skirt and light blue shirt. "Would it be cool if I borrow a pencil?" the girl smiled at me.

"Certainly. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm Rarity by the way. What's your name? she handed me a pencil.

"Jordan Steel. I'm new here and it's my first day here too. Nice to meet you too, Rarity." I started to take notes. Learning about everything about nuclear reaction. To be honest, this was more a review for me. I guess schools go in different orders because I have already learned about this stuff before I moved. After we were done, Discord handed us our homework and told us to complete it by tommorrow. After that class was dissmissed. I gave Rarity back her pencil but she pushed it back.

"It's yours to keep."

"Wow...thanks."

"You seem like a nice guy. What do you usually do for fun?"

"Well I usually don't do anything exciting as I should say. I play video games, sports, and shit. I guess I'll see you later, Rarity."

I waved goodbye and went to my next class.

At around lunchtime, I had already met another two people. Microchips, Pinkie Pie, and Sandalwood. Sandalwood probably the chillest dude I met so far. Pinkie is like super hyper. Like really super. And Micro? Man literally has a 110 average on every class. On god a genius. At the cafeteria I got my food and looked for a place to sit. I saw Micro and Flash at the table along with Sandalwood. I sat with them.

"What's good, my dude?" Sandalwood asked.

"nothin much. I wanna ask you guys something."

"Go ahead."

"have you guys ever got the feeling someone's watching you?" Throughout the day, I felt like someone was watching me. Only to find out no one was there.

"No..." said Micro awkwardly.

"Well I swear there is. I can even...describe who it was. She had yellow and red hair. I saw her in the reflection of the mirror and when I turned around she wasn't there."

"That sounds like Sunset Shimmer." Micro commented. Not the first time I heard that name.

"I've heard that name. Flash already told me about her. Is she a student here?"

The three looked uneasy. I wondered if something bad happened. I still couldn't get over the fact that's the same name my sister's imaginary friend had.

"She went missing a right before the break started. We haven't heard back from her ever since." Flash said with gravely.

"Damn....what happened?"

"It's a long story. You know what MyStable is?" I nod.

"I don't use it much but I do have it."

"Well recently before winter break, there was an unknown user who's been posting everyone's secrets. Everyone blamed Sunset for it."

"We're some of the few people who don't believe it was Sunset." Flash said. "Especially me. I was actually her ex and I know she would never do something like this."

Damn. This is crazy! After lunch was over, I waved them bye and continued on with my classes. They weren't too exciting so I'll just make it short. I met AppleJack and Fluttershy in History and Rainbow in Phys Ed. Latter is cracked at sports. Something even I noticed. After the final bell rang, I was ready to go home. I just wanted to take a breather before repeating this process for the next 4 days until the weekend.
