Hello, ladies and gents. This is an almost completely new chapter that was re-written. I've read the chapters, and felt like I could do better. So, hopefully these revamped chapters will be better than the previous, though I doubt it for reasons. Enjoy!

New high school means new friends, and… 'sigh' possibly new enemies.

I stood outside Canterlot High School as the sun was rising into the crisp, cold air. My name is Zachary, or Zach for short. I have long dark hair, chestnut brown eyes, and tanned. I'm 16, and I'm starting my Sophomore year. My attire consists of a gray shirt, with dark blue jeans and pure black sneakers. I moved here just recently during summer break, and seeing as how I had to leave my friends behind was indeed a bummer. But I still talk to them via texting.

I pulled out my phone. 7:08AM. And school doesn't start until 8:00AM. I sighed, remembering my habit of always leaving too early in the morning to go to school, even though there's no point in doing so. The reason is to just go to the library, and play on the computers or go and chat with the teachers, which was out of the question. Now, I don't see a point now going to the library, seeing as I now have my own laptop sitting in the car.

A few minutes passed by, and… nothing. The principle's cars parked not too far away and a few other vehicles, although I'm sure they arrive much earlier than I would think. Waking up at 6:00 in the morning to arrive at school, only to deal with the annoying freshmen and the lazy seniors isn't really the greatest thing for them, I would imagine. After what was only a few minutes, I went into the building, but I didn't bother to greet myself. It's 7:20AM, and students are now appearing around the front entrance. While there were some who were chatting among each other, probably talking about how there summer break went and the gossip, I just went inside and waited for class to inevitably start, which was going to be awhile.

I started to roam the vast empty hallways aimlessly, lockers lined up on both sides and doors to the classrooms as well. Some were open and even had the administrators or students talking with each other. If only a friend or two was with me, time would just fly by as if nothing had happen. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Instead, I passed by every classroom, while saying 'hello' to the people I would pass. The first thing I should do is to find the administrator's office, as any new student would do and not wait until later. Unless if I enjoyed standing around, to which I would rather not do.

I finally found the office, which was strangely almost dead center in the middle of the school. Luckily, not alot of students were at the door. I got into the line and played with my phone.

"Can you believe the new rules they have for this school?" I heard a couple of students get behind me as they got in line.

"Nah, man. I highly doubt it would be any better than last year. I mean, just when you thought school couldn't have felt more like prison."

I turned around and asked about the new rule. If it's something they're talking about, it must be not only bothering them, but the rest of the students as well.

"Oh man, you're not going to believe this. They've announced a new policy a week before the start of school, saying that now students must have their ID's on them at all times, or else they won't be able to do anything! Not even get any food!" He said. "I know, I bet Celestia or Luna doesn't approve. But they only have to enforce it, not create it."

"Yeah." I said, agreeing with him. "I mean, it was a thing at my last high school I went to, before I was transferred here. And while they weren't strict on it, they still expected us to still have us type in our ID number."

"Wait, you're new here?" The other one asked. I nodded. "Pssh, no wonder you haven't heard about it, especially since everyone is in a huge fit over it. Well, unless you like to talk to strangers I'm Alexis, and this is Brandon. What's your name?" Alexis said.

Alex looks like he was 5'4, a little shorter than Brandon, who looks like 5'7. Alex had black, curly hair, dark brown eyes, and a goatee. He was wearing a plain gray T-shirt with white sleeves, simple blue jeans, pure gray sneakers and was wearing an Oakland Raiders hat. Brandon also had black hair, blue eyes, and was also sporting a goatee like Alexis. He looked more relaxed with his style of clothing, which consisted of a plaid shirt, blue athletic shorts with the school's logo on the left leg, and red high-tops.

"I'm Zachary. I moved here over summer break." I greeted myself.

"That's great. Well, I'm not sitting in this line for a half an hour. I'm going." Alex said, before leaving while Brandon followed. They offered for me to come, but I said I would meet them there to get this over with. I sighed.

'Well, hope my year will go well.' I thought as I stand, waiting for my year to start.

This is the end of the first chapter. Hope the new version of it is at least better than the previous. Or maybe it's worst than the previous, to which I can't come up with anything better. Please, make sure to leave a review, favorite, and follow. The chapters will be updated as the weeks go by.
