____________________________________
 
>My name is Laine Sunflower.
>For years in my elementary school I have been mistreated, bullied and undernoticed.
>They say I couldn't hurt a fly.
>People say I'm destined for tinier things.
>Others say I'm no less menacing than a spider's egg.
>Well, no more!
>For today in my start at this school.
>At my start and end in this school year.
>I shall be the most feared individual of this school.
>No more shall they call me 'Sunshine' or 'Flowergirl'.
>From here on out, they shall know my name, and they will tremble at it.
>For my name is Laine, and I will set my name and actions in stone!
 
THE NEXT MORNING
 
*BEEEP*BEEEP*BEEEEP*
"AAHK! SHIT!"
>My name is Laine, and I'm freaking late for my first day.
 
>Rushing down the stairs, you grabbed your toothbrush and brushed away while eating breakfast.
>"Laine, dear. That's quite...well... weird."
"Can't talk*nomnomskshksh*"
>Munching up delicious blueberry pancakes mom just made while you brush it all away.
>After breakfast you ran back to the bathroom and showered.
>Man, I can't believe I'm late. Ugh.
 
>Five minutes later, you went in your room, got dressed and got your bag.
>"Oh honey, you want me to drive you to school?"
"No thanks, mom. I'm not a kid anymore."
>"That doesn't mean anything. Your father still took me to work when he was still alive."
"That's because you two are maariiied."
>"My little sunshine is growing up!"
"I'm not a little sunshine! I'm a young adult, and my name is Laine!"
>You then went out and slammed the door on your mother's face.
>"LAINE!"
"What?" you said with an edgy voice.
>"You just fixed the loose screw on the door! Thanks dear!"
"W-what?"
>"Oh  that screw had been an annoyance since the day it happened. How did you know slamming the door would fix it."
>I didn't even know it was even broken.
"I'm gonna be late."
>"Oh right. Come here and let me give you a good luck hug for your first day.
"Mooooom!"
>She hugs you without remorse.
>Her bear-tight embrace is crushing your self-established dignity.
>She finishes and waves goodbye.
>You ran off from your house and on to school.
 
CANTERLOT HIGH
 
>Entering the school, lots of familiar and unfamiliar faces.
>You rushed on to your class, which is history.
>Walking inside the classroom, you see alot of fresh meat.
>A perfect place to start your campaign to have everyone fear you.
>You walk to an area with one nerd.
>Seems easy enough.
"Hey kid."
>"H-huh?"
"You pushed him off his chair and proceeded to look him in the eye as he fell on the floor.
>"Ahh..."
"Whatcha gonna do about it?"
>"Whoa, thanks lady!"
"Tha-...wait what?"
>The nerd points above. A spider was about to drop on him if you hadn't shoved him off.
>"Oh man, that spider could have given me a panic attack. You're a real good classmate, lady!"
"B-but..."
>Before you could retort, the teacher comes in.
>>"Alright, class. Please sit down for our first lesson."
>You sit down beside the nerd.
>Your face now has a permanent annoyed look.
>"Now, as you all know, you're all in history class. We'll be learning all the histories of the different islands for this week."
>Oh joy...
>She pulls down the chart hanging from the side. It's a huge map.
>>"Now, for a quick review, does anyone here know what this island's name is?"
>No one raises their hands.
>>"Ugh, this is going to be a long year" she whispers to herself.
>She decides to randomly call a student.
 
>>"Right, umm, you! Ms. ..."
>She checks her student checklist.
>>"Ah yes, Ms. Sunflower!"
>Crap.
>You stood up, still annoyed.
>>"No pain in trying! Can you tell me the name of this island and its capital?"
>You decide to be a smartass and gave a 'smartass' answer.
"Oh gee, I don't know. Island is 'Teacher' with a capital of 'Faggotry'?"
>>"Laine!"
>Here it comes...
>>"That's correct! I'm glad someone remembered the lesson from last year.
>W-What?
>>"Class, this island here is named 'Teachurch', home of freshly planted 'Church teas', commonly found in 'Pagotreh City'."
>Oh come on!
>>>"Lel, nerd!" whispered another student.
>No. No. NOOOOOOO!
>MY YET TO BE ESTABLISHED NAME FOR MYSELF IS RUINED!
>CURSE ME!
>>"You can sit down, now, Ms. Sunflower."
>GRAAAH. THIS IS SUFFERING. PEOPLE ALREADY THINK I'M A BOOKWORM!
>This is going to be a long day.
 
Lunch Time
>Agh, finally. Out of my morning classes.
>And everyone thinks I'm a goody-two shoes girl.
>Despite my efforts, the one reaction I get is the opposite of what I wanted.
>Goddammit.
>Right, so, cafeteria.
>You cut in line to assert your non-existing authority.
>>"Hey! We were here first!"
"Yeah, well bug off!"
>That's right, I'm sounding badass.
>>"Whoa, you're right! There is a bug in the food!"
>W-What?
>He points to one of Grandmother Smith's showcased meals. The mash potato has been contaminated with house flies.
>>>"Oh my! Thanks for pointing that out, dearie! This could have been embarrassing if I served this to Principal Celestia!"
"B-but..."
>>"Thanks for the warning, miss!
>>>"Here, dearie! Have some complimentary cake. It's the least I can do!"
"T-thanks...?"
 
>You walk out of the line, feeling confused.
>Well, at least you got some cake out of that.
>Wait, I can start a food fight!
>Yeah, and be remembered as the girl who fearlessly started a food fight!
>YES. AGAINST THE AUTHORETEEHH! I SHALL BE REMEMBERED!
 
>You threw the cake at a random guy.
>The cake lands at his eyes, to which he tries to scratch out.
>>"OH MY GOSH!" yelled a nearby woman.
"HEY! FOOD FI-"
>"Hey look! That lady just stopped that thief from stealing my bag!"
>W-what?
>>"Man, we've been victimized by that thief all day!"
>"Lady, you have the eagle eyes of a hero!"
>What what?
>"Hey everyone! Let's  beat that guy with the cake in his face up."
>And they proceed to do so.
>>"We'll never forget this, lady!"
>"A true student role model, that girl is. What was her name?"
>>"I think it was 'Sunflower."
>"Sunflower! A good name for a good lass!"
"DAMMIT, MY NAME IS LAINE!" You yell in protest.
>>"Thanks again, Sunflower!"
"AAARRGH!"
 
>You storm out in protest. No one noticed.
 
>Bah, every attempt to look badass and hardcore has been a complete and utter failure!
>I can't be remembered as a good student! No one remembers those kinds of maggots!
>You walk by the hall. Seeing that nerd from history class again.
>"Oh hey Sunflower!"
"MY NAME IS LAINE!"
>You shoved him inside the locker to show everyone you ain't messing around.
>"Ahh! HEY!"
"GET IN!"
>You then closed the locker door.
>At that moment, a woman with pasta hair comes to the hall.
>She's looking for someone.
>I think her name was...Shimmers? Yes, Sunset shimmers.
>She looks left and right, but alas, her eyes find nothing of interest.
>>"That nerd's missing again and I need to enslave him to do my math homework!" She said.
>She storms off to go to another hall.
>The nerd comes out of his locker.
>"Oh man, thanks again, Sunflower! You just saved me from Shimmer's wrath!"
>The students began to whisper.
>>"Man, is she a bro or what?
>>>"I could depend on her! I'd vote for her as president!"
>>>>"I've never seen someone so nice and heroic!"
>>>>>"Her name is Sunflower? Her name really suits her."
"GRAAAAAAH!"
 
>You ran off to the other end of the hall.
>The only way you'd be able to wipe away this foolish nonsense of you being the opposite of a hardcore badass student is to start a fight with another student.
>Someone who wouldn't find pleasure or heroics in that.
>Yes, its the only way!
>Looking around, you saw this guy with the dark jacket, blue hair and the smell of a generic musical jock.
>He's flirting with a girl.
>Perfect!
>You went in and shouted.
 
"HEY YOU!"
>"Who me?" The guy said.
>With that, you threw the guy a great punch.
>"ACK!"
"You like that? HAVE ANOTHER!"
>You threw in more punches, beating him until he slipped on a banana peel.
>"WHOA! NOT BRADICAL! UGH!"
>He falls to the floor, head spinning and eyes turning.
>You turn to the 'audience', or rather, the people around you.
 
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? HUH? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"
>The people were silent for a moment.
 
>Finally, they cheered.
>"WHOOO!"
>>"YEEAAAH! GO SUNFLOWER!"
>>>"HE JUST BEAT UP THE GIRLFRIEND THIEF!"
>>>>"THAT WILL SHOW HIM FROM HARRASSING WOMEN!"
 
>W-what?
 
>>"THREE CHEERS FOR SUNFLOWER! TRULY A SIGHT TO BEHOLD IN A MONDAY MORNING!"
"MY NAME IS LAI-AAIEEE!"
>They lift you up and tossed you up and down.
>>"HIP HIP?"
>>>"HURRAAAH"
>>>>"HURRAAAH"
>>>>>"HURRAAAH"
"LET ME DOWN, YOU FILTHY VERMINS!"
>They let you down and shook your hand.
>>"Smart, heroic and nice. If you ever need any help, just ask us!" said one of the students.
>>>"Yeah! It's hard to find students like yourself."
"B-but...But I didn't want to-"
>>"Not just a role model. A MODEST role model!"
>>>"We'll always remember this, friend!
"No... No..."
>>"Sunflower!"
"NOO. NOO."
>>>"Pretty sure Sunflower is her first name."
>>"Naw, man, I think it was Sunshine Sunflower."
"NOOOO!"
>"I heard she was trying to be edgy and hardcore!."
>>"You must have heard wrong. She's been doing nice things all day! I doubt we'd forget that."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
 
>All your efforts, all your edge, gone.
>My name is Laine, and everyone thinks I'm the nicest student in Canterlot High.
>I wanted to be badass and edgy, but these bastards won't let me.
>Goddammit.
