Bound Shadows

"Hey Neiro, you know that other school across town?" Vinyl asks me as we are walking towards the school.

"Yeah, my brother goes there, what about it?" I reply.

"Well apparently due to money problems the school is getting torn down and our principal is having all of the students there go to our school," She answers.

"Hm, cool, I guess, well apart from the fact that my brother is gonna be here," I say. We walk in through the front doors and I notice the changes immediately, "Wow, that's a lot of people." I walk over to my locker and I notice that one of the new kids got the empty locker next to mine.

"Hello," The kid says.

"Hmph," I mumble, hoping that this conversation ends soon.

"I'm Zen," He says. He is about 6 ft. tall, has short, shaggy brown hair, caramel colored eyes, and he's wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes, and a leather jacket.

"Ugh, I'm Neiro," I reply.

"Hi, I'm Vinyl," Vinyl introduces herself.

The bell for class rings and Vinyl and I head to math. The new kids in this class are a girl with shoulder-length, rainbow colored hair, a girl with long pink hair that covers the right half of her face, and a girl with dark purple hair with a violet and a pink streak down the middle. 'Lucky me they're sitting right by me,' I think to myself.

" 'Ey I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria," The girl with rainbow hair introduces herself, "Who are you?"

"I'm Neiro and I don't have a title so don't expect one," I answer in a bored tone.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, it's nice to meet you," The girl with the purple hair says.

"And you are?" I ask the girl with pink hair.

She yelps and tries to hide behind a book and quietly mumbles something.

"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that, do you mind saying it a bit louder?" I ask her.

"F-Fluttershy, my name's Fluttershy," She timidly answers.

"Well it's nice to meet you Fluttershy," I politely say.

"What's with the sudden change of character?" Vinyl asks me.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," I reply.

Class drones on but eventually ends and I then head to my science class. The new kids in this class are Zen, that girl I met when I moved here, Pinkie Pie or something like that, and a tan-skinned girl with long blonde hair that's tied into a braid and a stetson perched atop her head.

"Hey Zen, and you were, uh, Pinkie Pie, right?" I say as I sit down.

"Oh yay, you remember me, for a moment I thought that you forgot who I was because you didn't want to be friends," Pinkie Pie says.

"Hey Neiro," Zen says.

"Ah'm Applejack, it's nice ta meet ya," The blonde haired girl introduces herself with an audible southern accent.

"I'm Neiro," I say in a bored tone, "Oh great, someone with a southern accent," I mumble sarcastically.

"What was that?" Applejack asks.

"Oh nothing," I answer. Class drags on for a while after that, but I was mostly drawing things in my journal rather than listening to the teacher.

Lunch finally crawls by and I head to the cafeteria and sit with Vinyl, Derpy, Lyra, Zen, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and some girl with long curly purple hair.

"Hello, I'm Rarity," The girl with purple hair introduces herself.

"I'm Neiro," I reply.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Neiro," Rarity says politely.

Snow and her group of 'friends' walk by and stop as soon as they notice us, "Oh look, Neiro's finally made some friends, oh and also, they're all freaks like him," Snow says coldly.

"Fuck off Snow," I tell her.

"Oh is 'de 'wittle faggot getting angry," Snow says in a babyish voice.

"S-shut up," My voice cracks and I get quiet.

"Hey leave Neiro alone," Vinyl says.

"Heh are you gonna let your friends protect you, pathetic," Snow jabs.

"Why are you here?" Zen says in an angry tone, his calm that he had held throughout the conversation is starting to break.

"Because it's fun to torture you guys," Snow says in a curt voice.

"Well get the fuck away before I smash your head in a wall and rip your limbs off," Zen threatens.

Snow yelps and walks away with her group.

"Bloody hell, Zen, that was fucked up," I say in awe as he calms down again.

"I'm sorry that you guys had to see that," Zen apologizes

"Hey after the way she treated us, I believe that she deserves that threat," Twilight says.

Nova walks up to the table and sits down, "Hey guys." I roll my eyes and go back to eating my lunch. "So who are the new kids?" Nova asks me.

"There's Zen, Lyra, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity," I answer.

"Hey Neiro look at this," Vinyl says, balancing an apple on her nose.

"Cool," I say, laughing.
