> *RING RING RING RING*
> The unmistakable sound of the school bell rings.
> Normally, for you this wouldn't mean much more than another end to a pointless school day.
> In fact, normally you'd get quite annoyed at it's irritating high-pitched sound, but today is special.
> Today is the day you've been long-waiting for: the last day of school.
> As you hear the bell, a relaxed feeling passes through your entire body.
> You lean back to your chair, stretch your arms, and take a long, deep sigh.
> Starting today, for a whole two months you won't have to worry about anything.
> No more pesky pesky teachers, tiring classes, and having to listen to the sound of that god damn bell.
> However, perhaps what you're most thankful for is that you won't have to see any classmates for the summer.
 
> Your name is Anon.
> Yes, you're a loner.
> In fact, some might say that you're the strangest kid in school.
> If they knew you existed, that is.
> You're a quiet type of person; always minding your own business, and not really bothered about anyone else.
> Unlike most people your age, you don't try to fit in.
> You're an outcast, but you like it that way.
> You like to take things at your own pace, and you're perfectly happy with yourself for that.
> However, you do sometimes find yourself a bit lonely...
 
> "Can I help you, Anon?" You hear professor Cranky say.
"Wha-" You say as you instinctively sit back up in your chair
> Glancing around the classroom, and realize that you've been daydreaming, and that the entire class has already left.
"Oh, damn, sorry sir!" You follow up in an agitated tone.
> "Kay..." the professor grumbles.
> It doesn't take long for you to pack your bag up, and sling it on one shoulder.
"See ya sir!" You say, heading out the door.
> You don't hear a response, but you could have sworn the professor muttered something along the lines of "kill me now" under his breath.
> Guess things aren't going to well between him and that other teacher...
> Anyhow, you rush over to your locker to pick up whatever books you may have left in there.
> To your convenience, it's not far away, so even though you left class a bit late, you should be able to get to your bus on time.
> It's been quite a school year.
> For the past 10 months, you've found yourself bored out of your mind in every single class that you've been in.
> Whether it's math or business, you've never been in a class that's not either way too easy or way too hard for you.
> You're a bit strange like that.
> But that's fine.
> You arrive at your locker, and open it up.
> There are a few books, which you quickly put into your backpack.
> You don't even bother closing your locker, so you just run downstairs and out the door.
> As you open the door, a strong wave of heat nearly leaves you dead in your tracks.
> This summer is unusually hot, and you find yourself already starting to sweat through your clothes.
> It shouldn't matter much, however, since you'll be at your nice, cool home very soon.
> You arrive at your bus stop, and sure enough, the buses are still there.
> Searching through the all the uniform-looking buses, you manage to find the bus with your number.
> You hop on, and look around for a seat.
> There's only a few seats left, so you decide to take the one closest to where you usually sit.
> Slumping your heavy backpack onto the seat, you lean back into the bus seat, and relax.
> Today is your last day on the bus.
> You've never been a fan of the bus.
> The noisiness, and sheer amount of people on it irritates you.
> Normally, you spend your lunch hours in the library instead of the cafeteria, so your ride on the bus is usually the most crowded part of your day.
> But none of that matters anymore.
> You pull out your phone, and decide to play some random app that you downloaded yesterday.
> However, just before you manage to start the app up, you hear a thump right next to you.
 
> You turn your head, and see Sunset Shimmer, the most popular girl in your school, sitting right next to you.
> She has a worried look on her face, and she keeps on glancing outside the front window.
> "No, no no!" She mumbles.
> Not knowing what to do, you return back to playing your game.
> "Go, go go!"
> You try to block her out, and just focus on your game.
> The bus starts to move.
> "Finally..."
> You immerse yourself entirely into the game.
> As of now, you are no longer Anonymous, but you are Sir. Alpha Male of Hordenstraug.
> You walk around for a bit, and kill some monsters.
> All of a sudden, you find yourself extremely tired.
> You have no energy left, and for whatever reason, demand that crystals are bought so that you can go kill more monsters.
> Nice try, jews.
> You lose interest in the game, and put your phone away into your pocket.
> Instead, you look outside the window.
> The scenery is as always: a bunch of houses and not much else.
> You get bored pretty fast, and so your mind finds itself wondering about Sunset.
> She's still sitting right next to you.
> You can't see her face, but you can still feel her anxiety without seeing her expression.
> Why was she in such a hurry earlier?
> You've never seen her like this.
> Ever since the fall formal, Sunset's been far more calm than this.
> She even made friends with the mane six, and she's now arguably the most popular girl at your school.
> She's also the prettiest.
> You don't pay much attention to girls normally, but Sunset is an exception.
> Most girls at your school wear tons of makeup to look half decent, but Sunset just looks beautiful naturally.
> Apart from just looks, there's something else that you like about Sunset.
> There's something warm about her, almost as if she has a sort of "glowing" aura around her.
> She always turns a bad situation into a good one, and is kind and compassionate to everyone, not just her friends.
> You can feel her presence next to you, but you don't bother to do much more than acknowledge it.
> A few more minutes pass, and Sunset keeps muttering to herself.
 
> Suddenly, the bus begins to slow down before pulling over and coming to a complete halt.
> "Oh crap..."
> The bus is still pretty far away from the first stop, so there was no reason for it to just stop.
> Murmurs spread through the entire bus.
> You hear the bus driver say something over the intercom.
> He waits for a bit, before standing up and turning towards all the students.
> "Alight, bus broke down, everyone get out."
> "What?" Some student asks
> "Oh my god, you can't be serious..." You hear another one say.
> "You heard me, the engine's busted."
> "Ugh..." You hear a few people moan.
> As they stand up and begin to flood out the door, Sunset just sits there, shocked about what's going on.
> "No, no, no..." She softly says after a bit.
> She's sitting on the aisle seat, and so she's blocking your way out.
> "You two, lets go." The bus driver says, pointing at Sunset and you.
"Hey, can you please move?" You ask her.
> "Oh..." She says.
> Her face is pale, and she gently stands up and heads out the front door.
> You follow her out.
> Leaving the bus, you find yourself in the middle of a cozy neighborhood.
> Your house is not far from here, it should be around a 15 minute walk.
> You know which way to go from here, and in fact, you even know a shortcut.
> You turn left onto a sidewalk, and then go down into a forest trail, which leads almost straight to your house.
> The summer weather is intense, and you find yourself unable to move very fast due to it.
> Either way, you can't wait until you get home to your air-conditioning.
