Orion's POV

Alright, here we come on the school. I pulled into the parking lot of the school, and like before, gained the attention of the other students. I felt the anxiety kick in for that split second, but I fought against it. I knew that I couldn't play that shy kid anymore. I have to fight that horrible pass I've endured. I need to take that darkness, and turn into light. If I do that, then maybe, just maybe... I can change my future and how this will all end.

I parked my motorcycle in onr of the parking spots before turning it off. I placed my arms stretched across the handle bars of my motorcycle as I saw a girl. A familiar girl that I've definitely seen before, "Rainbow..."

"Hey dude, quite an entrance you made. That motorcycle is sick!"

Alright, don't blow it. Don't say something stupid, "Same!" Why the hell would you say that!

"Dude, you're sweating. Something wrong?"

I stood up from my motorcycle, and sighed, "No, just a little nervous, that's all. I'm not really the social type..."

"Then you should probably start out small. I mean, with this motorcycle you rode to school, you'll definitely gain a lot of attention. Name's Rainbow Dash," She held put her hand in front of her, "nice to meet ya'!"

I gripped her hand, and shook it in response. As I grabbed her hand however, I felt all those past memories rush through me. The event that led to her death... it runs rampant through my mine in that split second.

I immediately snap put of my trance, and chuckle nervously, "Uh, yeah, nice to meet you Rainbow. My name is Orion Redheart. I'm new to this school. It's my first day."

"Oh, that's cool. It's always nice to have a new student. I'll take you to Principal Celestia's office. She'll give you your schedule for the school year," I smiled and nodded as I started to follow her through the parking lot and into the school.

Just like my first day, it was extremely lively here. Although, I did get butterflies in my stomach the minute I saw people look at me. They must've recognized me from my motorcycle. I shyly waved as we continued walking, "Don't be so shy dude. I'm sure these first day jitters will go away before you know it."

"I hope so..."

"I know, let's break the ice," I thought we did that already. I then remembered something my friend told me to tell a girl about breaking the ice.

"Actually, I know this funny line about breaking the ice. Uh, Rainbow, how much does a polar bear weigh?"

"I don't know how much?"

I did a dramatic pause before saying, "Enough to break the ice, hi my name is Orion," Rainbow chuckled lightly at my comment as she shook my hand in return. I know it's cheesy, but hey, at least she smiled at it.

"Dude, you should tell my friends that joke. That was a good one. Where'd you learn that?"

"Oh, I learned from some website online. I like looking up really bad puns and such to tell people."

"Won't that get annoying at some point?"

"Well, I've really only told my one friend back at the orphanage..., so I never really tested them on others..."

"Oh, you were an orphan...?" I nodded in response, causing me to look away. Damn it dude, why did I have to bring that up? Wait, that's what I wanted to say. What I mean is it doesn't feel forced. Like I said it through my own mind and body. I guess the goddess was right about giving me full control of my own dialogue. Although, as I was in thought, I felt a hand ferociously slap my shoulder, "Don't worry about that. I promise I won't bring it up to my friends. It can be our secret Orion."

"Really?"

"Of course, what are friends for dude!" I don't know. I just feel as if the girls are still autonomous personalities. Or maybe... this is how they truly are as people. Rainbow, I see her as a person who is loyal to her friends, and will do anything to help them. She may seem boastful for her own abilities, but she's loyal nonetheless.

"Thanks Rainbow. I'm glad I can have you as a friend," We smiled at each other as she brought me through a door before stopping in front of another door with a large receptionist desk outside of it. Weird, I guess I missed that when I would go to her office.

"Welp, here's her office. She'll talk to you about the rest of the school with you. Hey dude, when you go to lunch, you should definitely meet my friends. I think they would like to meet you too."

"Really? I haven't really told you much about myself."

"Which is why I want you to sit with us at lunch. Look, don't sweat the details. Just sit with my friends and I at lunch."

"Alright then, no problem Rainbow," I waved her goodbye as I walked inside Celestia's office, "Principal Celestia?"

"Oh, she's not here at the moment, but whatever you may need you can ask me." This definitely Celestia, "Oh, I don't think I've ever seen you here before. Are you a new student?"

"Uh, yes ma'am. Today is my first day...," If Principal Celestia isn't here, then shouldn't there be a note directing kids to the Vice-Principal's office?

"Oh, then may I know you name first?"

"Orion Redheart ma'am..."

"Well it's nice to meet you Orion. I'm Vice-Principal Luna. I'll be helping you get situated with the school. So let's see...," Vice-Principal Luna went through a file cabinet as she began searching for my file, "Ah, here you are," She began reading it, and I watched her eyes move with the words. I soon saw them slow down before coming to a complete stop, "Orion, may I see this scar?"

"Huh? Why?"

"I need to know if it's noticeable to the naked eye. Your file says it's deep and still fresh. I need to see for myself so that I may notify my sister..."

Oh right, Celestia was her sister. I never really spoke to her in my past life, so I guess I had no reason to at that time. However, I have no authority over her, so I have to show her my scar. To be honest, I forgot all about this scar. I nodded as I brought my shirt up. That same scar I had shown to my mother... it just hasn't changed.

"I see, it does look deep and fresh. Hm, I don't think it would be a good idea for you to ever go shirtless when you're around the other students. Not that you ever should, but just to be on the safe side."

"I agree with you there. I don't know why I would ever need to take off my shirt at any time during my stay here."

"You'd be surprised on why that certain situation would happen. Just trust me on this. I think it's best if the student body doesn't find out about this scar."

"Okay, uh..."

"Problem Orion?"

"No, I'm just nervous is all. First day jitters you know?"

"I understand. This is the first school you've ever attended. I see that you should probably keep that to yourself as well."

"Kind of too late for that," Luna raised an eyebrow at my statement. I chuckled and started explaining, "Well, one of the students guided me here to the office, and I kind of told her that I was an orphan at one point. So at least one student here knows."

"Hm, I know for sure word will get out eventually, but I find it in your best interest to keep it from the rest of the student body."

"I understand. The last thing I want is for others to worry about me and my past," I also don't want my memories of that hellish world before this to cloud my experience here...

"Well, here's a copy of your schedule. If you need any help getting around, I can call a student down to give you a tour."

"Uh, I don't think that'll be necessary. I think I can find my way around. Thank you Vice-Principal Luna."

"Anytime Orion. I'll notify Principal Celestia of your arrival." I waved her off as I walked out the office. I gripped the schedule as I found out that it's the same schedule that I had before. Rarity was in my... first two classes. Oh no...

I felt my heart stop as I came to this realization. I then took a deep breath and smiled, "Maybe we won't be in the same classes as before. Perhaps we'll be in different classes. Let's just hope."

I started to walk to my first class which was geology. As I was walking though, I got flashbacks to everything I did with Rarity. Including the... other stuff. Apart from those frightening experiences she showed me, she only really did it in order to spend more time for me. Yes she's clingy, but she's still... a nice person. I can't let what she did cloud how I feel about her.

Rarity is gorgeous, generous, and a genuinely nice person who was controlled by her jealous and clingy personality. Perhaps if I was to- whoa! As I was walking, I ran into someone else. I instantly fell onto my back, and so did the other individual. I took one look at this individual, and my heart dropped instantly. I couldn't believe it...
