- >You are Anonymous
- >18 and in your senior year at Canterlot High
- >It’s that fucking time of the year again
- >Fall Formal
- >Maybe you were some sort of beta loser, but you were never a fan of high school dances
- >In fact you hated even the thought of them
- >You had yet to attend one, and you wanted to keep it that way
- >But alas, it is your senior year, and something is pulling at your thoughts saying “Fuck it dude, do it once just so you can say you experienced it.”
- >You aren’t even sure who you’d ask but the thought has been wracking your mind lately
- >”Hey Anon”
- “Oh Hey Fluttershy, how are you on this fine morning?”
- >You had been so wrapped up in your thinking that you had almost completely forgotten you were walking to school
- >As usual, you walked past Fluttershy’s house and the two of you would walk the rest of the way together
- >Fluttershy had been the closest thing to a best friend you had had since you transferred to Canterlot High during your freshman year
- >It was weird to you, having a girl as a best friend, but she always tried to be there for you, and you the same for her
- >”I’m feeling pretty good this morning, Anon, how about you?”
- >You never feel “good” in the morning, you never sleep enough, and it’s probably quite apparent to the rest of the world
- “I’m feeling great.”
- >a bit of a fib, but you don’t like to poison the rest of the world with your problems
- >”That’s nice Anon. So… have you thought about who you’re taking to the Fall Formal this year?”
- >a light hearted joke, she knew how much you disliked dances, she wasn’t a huge fan herself, as far as you knew
- >You both have a quick chuckle
- “You know, in all seriousness, I was actually considering going this year, just because, you know, last year at high school and all.”
- >She gives you a surprised look
- >”R-really now Anon? So, I guess, uhm, did you have anybody you were planning on asking yet?”
- “No, not really, maybe, I don’t know. It really only crossed my mind for the first time a couple nights ago.”
- >”Hmm, well, uhm, that’s… interesting…”
- >The two of you had already made it to the school’s courtyard
- >These walks don’t take long enough.
- >There’s a slight awkward silence, that’s not a fun feel, time to break that
- “Fuuuck, I hate school.”
- >Fluttershy seems somewhat angry about something now, but seems alright with the subject change
- >”Well, at least we’re almost out of here, just look at it that way, Anon.”
- >Any other person wouldn’t have picked up that she was angry, but you had known her for so long now
- “You alright Flutters?”
- >She looks down at the ground for a second, then looks back at you
- “Yeah, I just forgot to do that stupid assignment Mr. Neigh gave us for anatomy.”
- >It WAS a stupid assignment; the whole class was tedious, nothing more than vocabulary memorization
- “Did you want to copy mine?”
- >”No, it’s 8th period, I should be able to get it done.”
- “Well okay then, I guess I’ll see you at lunch. Later.”
- >You can tell that’s not what she was angry about, but, meh she’ll be fine
- >Women.
- >As per usual, you go through your morning classes in half-ass mode, because you can’t be bothered to care about this stupid shit
- >It was high school; you could not show up and have straight A’s
- >The only notable class you had all morning was cooking, which wasn’t mentally challenging at all, but it was always interesting seeing Pinkie Pie.
- >She was your cooking partner; that should really sum it up
- >She was one of Fluttershy’s friends, and because of that your friend
- >Then again she was everyone’s friend, extroverted as could be
- >Even within her closest circle of friends you don’t think she really had a “best” friend, which would have bothered you, but she seemed happy enough
- >”So, Nonny, I heard you’re going to FALL FORMAL~ this year!”
- >Fluttershy must have told her in one of her morning classes
- >And Pinkie said that just loud enough for everyone to stare into your little cooking corner
- >You don’t look, but you can only imagine condescending glares coupled with “Wow the freak is going to do something normal for once” thoughts
- >Given it’s a cooking class it’s filled with jocks and dumb sluts
- >You aren’t too concerned with their opinions, but wowzer do you regret this class choice sometimes
- >You give Pinkie a “Quiet the fuck down, you know I hate that shit” glare, and nod yes.
- >She luckily takes the hint and asks you in a much quieter voice
- >”So, who you gonna take nonny?”
- “I don’t know Pinkie, I’ll figure it out.”
- >”Well okay, but just so you know you won’t regret it, it’ll be super-duper fun, I pinkie promise!”
- >You give her another nod and finish up with you baking assignment
- >Really early too, pretty badass having Pinkie as a partner, in that regard
- >She’s distracted talking some of the other students, and you have a good 15 minutes to kill
- >You ask the teacher if you can use the restroom, grab your shit and leave to go walk the halls
- >because fuck socializing
- >You put on your headphones and tune in to some patrish beats
- >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mZqGxkYOFY
- >You’re feeling pretty on top of the world now, listening to your tunes away from everyone else and finally getting over how exhausted you are from lack of sleep
- >maybe you should go to bed earlier
- >nah fuck that, the night’s cool
- >As you cruise down the hallways you notice the qt3.14/10 blue girl you always check out
- >Yes, Trixie, she must be late for some reason again
- >You knew a bit about her, she was sort of an outcast because of her overbearing attitude, and how full of herself she was
- >That and she wasn’t born into a rich family, that weighed in more than one might think at Canterlot high
- >It was part of the reason you were looked down upon by the more “normal” sorts at the school
- >For whatever reason you found all of that attractive
- >Something just screamed to you like “Hey, she may seem like a cunt, but I bet she’s cool if you get to know her.”
- >Of course, given your less than outgoing nature, you had yet to make an attempt to get to know her
- >In all of your thinking you completely forget you’ve been awkwardly staring at her the whole time while you’ve been walking
- >You really need to quit narrating your life through inner monologue
- >She’s giving you a weird look, and you immediately break eye contact and continue down the hallway
- >before you know it you just barely hear the sound of the lunch bell
- >To bad you’re on the other side of the school
- >Oh well, last to lunch again, not like you care
- >You get your generic government issued food and head over to sit down
- >You typically sit with the Eco kids, simply because Fluttershy sits there
- >Plus the eco table is the only one not full of pretentious douchebags
- >Pretty open minded fellows, nice taste in music
- >You even jammed with them off and on
- >You couldn’t stand the rocker table, obsessed generic pleb shit
- >and best of all the didn’t judge by materialistic standards, since most of them weren’t born into riches either
- >You fit in relatively well
- >You sit down next to Fluttershy
- “Did you get your anatomy done?”
- >”What? OH! I mean, uhm… yeah.”
- “Well that’s good. So, you told Pinkie I was going to the Fall Formal?”
- >”Oh, Anon, I’m sorry did you not want anyone to know? Did she make a scene or something, I’m so sorry Anon. I’m really sorr-“
- “No it’s fine, she made a bit of one, but that’s just Pinkie, you know? It’s all good.”
- >”O-oh, okay, so, uhm… have you thought about who you’re going to ask to the fall formal?”
- “Well, not really, but….”
- >You think back to how you always wanted to get to know Trixie better
- >You quickly glance over to the table she sits at
- >Just her and Vinyl
- >”…but what Anon?”
- >She looks at you expectantly
- >You look at Trixie and then back to her
- “Do you really want to know?”
- >”Well, sure Anon, I don’t see why not.”
- “Trixie,maybe,Idon’tknow”
- >You mumble your words at the end
- >She gives you a confused look
- >“Why would you ever? She’s like, uhm, a huge….. bitch.”
- >Her volume decreased with every word
- >She has that passive angry look again
- >Could she…
- >No, there’s no way, you’ve been friends for so long
- “I don’t know she’s just… I feel like if I got to know her she’d be cool.”
- >”It’s just, well, are you sure you want to do that?”
- >You think about it for a moment
- >She looks at you and then quietly says
- >”Well if that’s what you want Anon, you should go ask her.”
- “Are you sure, I don’t know, she probably won’t say yes anyway.”
- >”Well you won’t know unless you try.”
- >That’s a bit hypocritical of her to say, but you don’t comment
- >Fuck it; it’s your last year, who cares if you smear your image
- “Okay, I’ll give it an attempt.”
- >She nods
- >You get up and head over to Trixie’s table
- >Everyone else is sitting down, so you stick out like a sore thumb
- >You know you’re getting stares again
- >You sit down at the table
- >Trixie and Vinyl just stare at you
- >Fuck this is awkward as fuck, why did you do this to yourself
- “So…”
- >Trixie interrupts you
- >“What brings a freak like you to Trixie’s table?”
- >Ouch, this is bad, none of this is good
- >Vinyl is snickering at your predicament
- >Trixie is blushing hardcore
- >Meh fuck it, go full alpha, this situation is to spaghetti and beta ridden to be saved by anything else
- “Would you perhaps like to attend the Fall formal with me?”
- >She somehow blushes hard then she was and says in a very loud voice
- >”AS IF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE WOULD ATTEND THE FALL FORMAL WITH THE LIKES OF YOU!”
- >Everyone stares
- >Why the fuck did you do this
- >Well, fuck this shit rejection hurts, a lot, especially when it’s that public
- >You sit back down with the eco kids
- >Fluttershy tries to tell you how it’s not so bad, but you know she’s just lying to try to make the situation less awful
