Well, hello again. Sorry, this chapter's really short. Tell you what, I'll make up for it by making an extra long chapter next. I'm going to try to do some review replies now.

Let's start this chapter!
Chapter 2: The New Students
The next sunny morning, every filly and colt had arrived at the schoolhouse. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle arrived and trotted to their seats, sitting, just in time, too. Miss Cheerilee walked inside the room, beaming at her students. "Please settle down, My Little Ponies. We have three new students arriving."
A loud talk filled the room as everypony began whispering excitedly to their neighbor, obviously not paying attention to Cheerilee's order.
"Ooh, I wonder who they'll be!"
"I hope they'll be cute!"
"Yeah!"
"I hope they like skateboarding!"
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, however, sat back in their chairs with a bored look on her faces. "Like, great, just what we need, some more useless dorks filling up this school," Diamond Tiara said, pretending to yawn.
"Yeah," Silver Spoon agreed with her right away, encouraging her stuck-up friend.
Scootaloo glanced at the stuck-up fillies and growled under her breath, frustrated by the ponies' snootiness. She planted her hooves on her desk and thought. Hmm...three new students? Wait, that sounds familiar...three...three...
The pegasus' eyes widened and she gasped loudly, but covered her mouth with her hoof. She looked around, wondering if anyone heard her outburst. Luckily, no one did seem to; they were all too busy talking about who the three new ponies could be. Scootaloo took one last glance around before slowly putting her hooves back on her desk.
No...it couldn't be those three colts. And if they are...who cares? They're just three colts I saw before at the river. Don't be so stupid, Scootaloo.
Scootaloo sighed softly and tried to released all her worries. But somewhere in the back of her mind, she was still thinking about the boys, especially the white colt with the black mane. She tapped her hoof against the desk impatiently, yawning loudly.
Miss Cheerilee kept looking at the doorway, but the three new students weren't there yet. "I guess they'll be arriving a bit late," she told the class, who were still talking among themselves. "Let's wait a little longer. I'm sure they'll be here any minute."
Scootaloo tapped her hoof more rapidly and loud. She could see her fellow Crusaders doing the same, clearly sharing her impatience. Suddenly, three large, looming shadowy figures appeared at the exposed doorway. They were looming closer, their shadows becoming larger and larger. Scootaloo could make out three colts. Everypony stared at the open doorway curiously...except for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who still had those snooty looks on their faces. The three ponies were lumbering closer, until...
Scootaloo could see the exact same colts she had seen at the river.
