Chapter 1: Her name is Sunset
Five days has been past since my first day in CHS. I got to say that's really a wonderful school. I and White are now very good friends. We both are kind of nerds so it makes sense that how we become friends so fast. I'm more an introvert person so I don't like to talk much. I usually kept myself busy in my studies. On other hand White has to take care of his little sister to make sure that she stays out of trouble. Believe me she's a real trouble maker. She got angry so fast, even I sometime scare of her. *chuckles* anyways White and I wanted to join a group at the school. To my surprise those five girls were the members of the hugest group at the school. They call themselves the Wondercolts. Interesting, but anyways I will like to be a little more to acquainted to this school's climate before becoming a part of such a huge groupe.
Today I talked to that girl and I think she's definitely know something which she don't want to tell. I was just having lunch at cafeteria along with my friends. As always there were I and my two other friends Written Script, White Feather along with White's little sister. Today once again I saw that strange girl. She was looking so lonely and was sitting alone on one table. I don't understand. Why she seems so lonely, why she'd to sit alone there. Why did no one try to ask her the reason and cheer her up? That was it I've to find out the answers of these questions.
"White bro, do you know about that girl?" I asked him pointing towards that girl
"I'm as new here as you my friend. I don't know her either." He simply replied
I shrugged and stood up. I am gonna ask her. I said to myself. I picked up my tray with some remaining fruit salad in it and looked towards her.
"Where are you going Night?" Script asked me
"I just can't see her like this." I replied
Without any further talk I went towards her table. Why am I doing this? I never even know how to deal an upset girl. I gulped at my silliness but keep going towards her. She was so busy revolving her spoon in her bowl that she didn't notice me coming there. I then called her.
"Excuse me!" I said
She abruptly looked towards me. I could see an upset expression on her face. I smiled slyly.
"Can... can I sit beside you?" I asked
"Han!" She gave me a confused look "Do I know you?"
"Well, I'm new here." I told her "My name's Night Mark… nice to meet you." I said
After giving me a look of disbelief for a moment she nodded. I smiled and sat there. She began to revolve her spoon in her remaining soup once again.
"So, may I know your name?" She said
"Ah, yes. My name's Night Mark. And… yours?" I asked nervously
"Sunset, Sunset Shimmer." She whispered
"What was that?" I said
"I said Sunset Shimmer." She said being a little louder
"Oh, that's a very nice name." I said. Her name is Sunset. That's suits her so well.
"Thanks." She said taking a sip on her spoon "By the way your name's also very nice."
"Well, thanks. Sunset can I ask you something?"
She raised an eye towards me. "What?"
"Well, I was watching you sitting here alone for many days." She looked towards me in disbelief "I maybe wrong but you seem to upset by something. Are you?"
"You came here to ask me that?" She said "Now I get it! You've came here to mock me!" She became rude all of sudden "You also want to laugh at my self-made stories."
I was a little stunned by her behavior. "No, no, you're getting it all wrong." I said in my defense "I'm not here to mock you. I hardly know your name. Why would I ever tease somebody I just met?"
She took a sigh and sat there while giving me a suspicious look. "Sorry, I was not thinking straight." She said "Time hasn't been so kind to me for last few weeks."
"Both dweebs are looking good together." Suddenly I heard a voice behind me.
I hate those guys. Those wicked bullies. They were sitting a few tables away from us and were laughing at us loudly. I really hate those bullies. Sunset looked towards me and said
"So they're not your friends?" She said
"I just don't know what's wrong with these guys." I replied her and came back to my original topic once again "So can I know why you were so sad?"
She smiled and took a deep sigh "Well Night, thanks for asking and all, but I don't think there is much you can do to help me. I must think of a way to get out of my problem myself." She stood up "But anyways it was nice to meet somebody so caring." She smiled once again "Thanks once again. Now I should go to my classroom."
I was a little nervous at this but then I replied "N-no pro-problem. It was nice to meet you too."
She went towards her classroom. Everyone was going outside the cafeteria. Realization hit me so hardly, my next class was about to start in few minuets. I stood up from the table and somehow caught up with White once again.
"Hurry up Mark." He said while rushing towards the classroom.
At last we reached in class in time. I was glad for this. But as I was trying to focus on my lecture I was still lost in the thoughts of Sunset. She's a nice girl but then why she was saying that other teases her. Teases her for telling… self-made stories? Whatever was her mean? Now I want to know about her even more.
"MR. MARK!" I heard teacher yelling upon me
"Oh, yes." I said
"I was asking you something… what is so important that's keeping you from paying attention to your lecture." She said loudly
"I'm sorry ma'am. I was a little distracted." That's a lie because I'm so much distracted right now. "This won't happen again."
"Good, now please pay attention." She said
After that I got preoccupied by my lecture. After returning home I was still thinking about her. Why she was so much upset and why she was saying that I can't do much to help her. For some reason I sorta want to help. So I must talk to someone for this.
Maybe it's a good time to talk to Vice Principle Luna.
