Sorry if the story is mostly filler... or just bad in general. Also I'm not sure how any of this... "getting together" stuff works or if a specific tag needs to be there either so yeah...
Chapter 1
Canterlot High has now reopened. PPEF1, a boy in a red hoodie, black pants, and red shooes walked up to the school entrance. Looking around, there were lots of students hanging out at the staircase, some walking around, and seven girls hanging around the horse statue. Few minutes later the bell started to ring. Everyone started walking to their first period class.
Heading inside, PPEF1 realized just how big the school was. Lots of people were walking around the school, navigating their first class. PPEF1 looked at his schedule and saw that his first class was Multimedia Sculpture with Ms. Tree Hugger. Her class is on the second floor.
"Right. This school has stairs."
PPEF1 walked up the stairs to see open doors that were luckily labeled with numbers and were decorated with teacher's name on it.
"There it is!" The boy quickly ran into the classroom.
Entering the classroom, PPEF1 saw that the classroom was decorated with sculptures most likely made by students from last year. There were also very detailed paintings on the wall.
"Welcome welcome everyone." greeted Tree Hugger. Her voice sounded like a hippie from the 1960s. "There are nametags on the tables with your names on them so take your seats there and just, chill out. Maybe introduce yourself to your fellow classmates. We'll be taking attendance once more students arrive."
PPEF1 and other students looked around for their names on their desks and sat down at their respective seats. Taking their seats, PPEF1 was seated next to a pink-haired girl, which he noticed from the horse statue, and a green-haired boy who's style almost matched Tree Hugger's. A little bit later the class was now full.
"Raaaaaaaaaad. Hello everyone my name is Ms. Tree Hugger but you can just call me Tree Hugger. So now that everyone's here, I'll be taking attendance so when I call your name reply with "here". And also correct me if I pronounce your name wrong because it would be like, uncool if I pronounce your name wrong for the whole year."
Tree Hugger now started taking attendance. "Water Melody?"
"Here."
"Sandalwood?"
"Here dude," he said with a radical hand gesture.
"Raaaaaaaaaad," she replied using the same hand gesture. "PPEF1?"
"Here."
"Fluttershy?"
"H-here."
While Tree Hugger was still taking attendance, PPEF1 and Sandalwood heard noises coming from that table.
"Is it me or do I hear something?" PPEF1 asked.
"Sounds like animals to me," Sandalwood added.
Fluttershy recognized where the noise was coming from. "Ah I'm sorry!" she whispered loudly. The pink-haired girl unzipped her backpack petting a white bunny.
"You brought an animal!" PPEF1 shouted but also tried to whisper.
"Please don't tell anyone!"
"Whooooooa. What is that noise?" Tree Hugger asked. "Sounds like animals"
"Oh sorry! That was, uh, my phone!" Fluttershy pretended to turn off her phone and put the bunny back in her backpack.
"I'm guessing you like the creatures of nature."
"Yes actually," Fluttershy said, her cheeks turning red. "I love animals!"
"Coooooool. I feel you. Anyways..." Tree Hugger went back to taking attendance
"Fluttershy? Uh, do you mind me asking you a question about, that?" PPEF1 said while pointing to Fluttershy's backpack.
"Oh! Um..."
"If that's okay with you of course!" PPEF1 quickly assured as he saw how nervous the girl was.
"Oh no it's fine." Fluttershy carefully unzipped her backpack taking out the white bunny again. "He just gets so lonely while I'm at school all day."
PPEF1 looked at the white bunny while Fluttershy petted its head. The pink-haired girl noticed PPEF1 staring at her bunny. "Um, do you want to pet him?"
"Really?"
"Well, if you want."
"Eh, why not?"
Fluttershy gently handed over the bunny to PPEF1. He then caressed it the same way Fluttershy did. The bunny then snuggled its head in PPEF1's arm.
"Awww. Angel likes you."
"What a cute name." PPEF1 let out a little chuckle. He then handed the bunny back to Fluttershy.

After a few fun activities, first period was over.
"Good-bye smart people," said Tree Hugger. "We'll be experiencing the magic of art on Monday.
Everyone headed out for their next class, PPEF1 and Fluttershy were talking about their interests and the fun things they did over the summer. Suddenly, a purple-haired girl came running towards them.
"Ahh! Oh it's just you Rarity."
"Fluttershy, darling!" The purple-haired girl turned her attention towards PPEF1. "I didn't know you already made a boyfriend."
"WHAT!?!?!" they both screamed.
"Kidding. Though the way you two interacted was pretty cute."
Rarity continued to walk to her next class.
"Don't worry. She's normally like that," Fluttershy assured.
The two continued walking to their next class.
***
PPEF1 noticed that he and Fluttershy had walked together downstairs to their second class. English 1 with Ms. Cheerilee.
"Huh, we have the same class again," PPEF1 said.
"What a coincidence," Fluttershy added.
PPEF1 stepped aside letting Fluttershy enter first.
"Aw. Thank you."
"Your welcome," PPEF1 replied blushing as he followed behind.
"Hello everyone, I am Ms. Cheerilee but you can just call me Cheerilee. Find the desk with your name on the nametags and take your seats there and I'll start taking attendance.
PPEF1 took his seat at his assigned desk. Sitting next to him was boy wearing a beanie, a red coat, and a white shirt with green stripes. To his left he saw another desk and there was Fluttershy. She was talking to a girl who wore glasses and had dark indigo hair with purple and pink stripes.
***
After attendance, Cheerilee had a fun activity planned. "Okay everyone bring out your Chromebooks, 'cause we're gonna play a "Would You Rather" Kahoot."
Everyone excitedly pulled out their Chromebooks, opened Kahoot, and typed in the code.
"Now remember, NO NICKNAMES. Type in your ACTUAL names so I know who is who."
The game had started. The first question was: "Would you rather be rich, or be famous?"
"Oooooooooooohh," said the whole class. The game started off with a hard question.
Everyone started locking in their answers until the timer hit zero. The results were in and it was almost even.
"Almost a 50/50 split," Cheerilee announced. "Would anyone like to share their reason they chose their answer?"
The girl with the dark indigo hair and the boy sitting next to PPEF1 rose their hand. Cheerilee picked on the boy
"Norman is it?"
"Yes. I chose "be famous" as I like to talk to talk with people, even they aren't my friends, online or in real life. Plus, I watch a lot of videos on social media and it would be cool to be like one of my idols and hang out with fans or other fun people."
"I see. That's very sweet. I know there was someone else who raised their hand."
The girl with the dark indigo hair raised her hand again.
"Yes, Twilight is it?"
"Mm-hmm. While I can see why people would like to be famous being surrounded by people they love, I for one am not the kind of person to like being surrounded by random strangers which is why I chose "be rich" so I can use the money for stuff like entering college."
"Ooh, I pick up what you're putting down. We've gotten some good answers so far. Anyone else?"
PPEF1 and Fluttershy both raised their hands.
"PPEF1, I'll get back to you. Fluttershy?"
"Uh, I picked "be rich" for the same reason as Twilight's. And if I were to get the money, I'd like to build an animal shelter."
"Aww. That's adorable. PPEF1?"
"I actually didn't know what to go with so I just picked a random option."
"Oh hehehe."
***
Nutrition had started. After PPEF1 drank a carton of chocolate milk and ate a chocolate muffin, he then started walking around campus while watching videos his phone. Walking a little further, he saw Fluttershy sitting down under a tree with her bunny Angel.
"Hi Fluttershy!"
"Oh! Hi PPEF1!"
Fluttershy moved a little to her right. "Would like to sit down? If you want of course!"
PPEF1 let out a little chuckle and sat down next to Fluttershy. "So is this normally where you hang out? I'd assume you would be hanging out with your friends from the horse statue."
"Well I just hang out here when I want to be alone. Well you're with me so, uh, you know what I mean.
"Oh no, I get it."
"Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen you before. Are you new here?"
"Yep. What about you?"
"No. I've actually been here since 6th grade."
"That's cool."
Fluttershy stared at PPEF1 and saw that his face wasn't sad but definitely not happy. Almost like a serious look.
"Is everything alright?"
"Oh yeah. Just kind of sad that none of my friends came here."
"Really? Not one?"
"Nope."
"That's kind of sad."
"Don't worry we still text each other and talk online."
"Well that's good."
Everything was silent between the two for a little bit. Fluttershy then started to speak up. "Well I can be your friend."
PPEF1's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Sure. I mean, we've only known each other for like a couple hours, I think that you were pretty funny at English class."
"Thanks Fluttershy." PPEF1 went in for an unexpected hug. Fluttershy was taken aback for a little bit, but happily hugged him back.
"Awwwww how cute."
Fluttershy and PPEF1 broke out of the hug as they saw a pink, poofy-haired girl skip towards them. "Fluttershy, is this guy your boyfriend?"
"No he's not!" Fluttershy exclaimed.
"No she's not!" PPEF1 shouted at the same time as Fluttershy.
The pink, poofy-haired girl let out a little laugh.
"He's a friend of mine since none of his friends from his old school came here."
"Aww that's sad." The pink, poofy-haired girl instantly changed the mood. "Anyway, I brought you a cupcake! I made it specially for you."
"Aw Pinkie, you shouldn't have." Fluttershy took the cupcake and took a bite. "Oh Pinkie it's delicious."
"I knew you would like it!" Pinkie then faced her attention towards PPEF1 and quickly introduced herself, shaking his hand rapidly. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and welcome to Canterlot High, also known as CHS. Any friend of Fluttershy is a friend of mine. Anyway, here at CHS with clubs, events and more!"
"Ah wait! You're talking too fast!"
Suddenly, the bell rang.
"Oh! That's the bell! See ya later!"
Pinkie then skipped her way to her next class.
"Let me guess, she's normally like that?" PPEF1 asked.
"Mm-hmm."
PPEF1 looked at his schedule. "Hey what's your third period class?"
"It's Integrated Math 1 with Cranky Doodle."
"No way!" PPEF1 showed Fluttershy his schedule. "I have him too!"
"Oh my gosh! We've had the same three classes in a row!"
"I know right?! Anyways let's head to class."
***
"Salutations everyone," said Dr. Whooves. "And remember, we'll start fresh on Monday!"
Everyone started exiting the school. PPEF1 and Fluttershy walked out the school entrance and saw the six girls, being Fluttershy's friends, were hanging around the horse statue.
"PPEF1, I'm gonna go talk to my friends. See you tomorrow."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
PPEF1 walked left of the school, heading home while Fluttershy ran towards her friends.
