Thump...Thump...Thump

"Are you all right CJ?", Margot Sapphire asked her younger sister with a worried expression. CJ's heartbeat raced faster and faster, putting her so lost in her inner thoughts that she didn't even hear her sister speak. She finally snapped out of it and gave her a faint smile, "Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing to worry about Margot". On the contrary, it was definitely obvious that something was indeed bothering her, but she decided to brush it aside.

CJ glanced again at this unfamiliar environment she found herself in. "Canterlot High" she mutters to herself. The atmosphere was evidently something she couldn't ignore, it just seemed so...friendly? Quite contagious, she could even sense it and that almost let her guard down.

Almost.

"Anyways, I'll be off now. Just remember what I told you-", she got cut off.

"Stranger danger?May as well have just left me at home", CJ replied with a cocked eyebrow.

Margot rolled her eyes at her sister's overt sarcasm. "Well yes, there's still that,and I was being serious about it though.Besides, you know that's not what I meant."

CJ's eyes softened as her sister continued," I said it before and I'll still say it again. You need a fresh start, and I'm certain that you're fully aware why... You're the only sister I have, and I just want the best for you", taking a hold of CJ's hand, she doesn't break eye contact and looks at her directly with concern etched in her voice.

"I know the past few years have been rough, but you can't keep to yourself forever you know" She notices her sister feeling uncomfortable with the topic so she continues, "But most importantly, just have fun. Canterlot high might have a whole lot more to offer than you think." She glances at her wristwatch and hurriedly rushes to her car, biding her sister farewell.

Watching as the car disappeared into the void, CJ takes her glance to the school once more. With a deep breath (and a lot of zoning out), she strolled in through the main entrance.

The atmosphere once again exuded it's friendly aura with the students cheerfully chatting away. There was a clear and diverse difference from each and every one of them. This somehow reminded CJ of a scene from a movie she had watched which had the most random musical numbers at random intervals. The characters would constantly bicker over the most irrelevant things, and would then end up as one of those tropes where the main characters start off as rivals but end up as "Best friends". 

She gradually started wondering again what made her think of that in the first place. Just like that, it slipped her mind.

"Typical"CJ murmured.

As she strolled down the hallways observing her surroundings, she notices a tall woman alongside another . Both have similar appearances coupled with wavy but different colored hair. The shorter woman had blueish green eyes and blue flowing hair, while the taller one had light grayish magenta eyes and flowing hair striped with the colours aqua blue,pink, purple and green

" I'm guessing those are the principals", she thought then quickly followed them as they entered their office. CJ reaches for the door and is a bit hesitant to knock but reluctantly does it still. She hears a "come in" from the other side of the door and casually enters.

The two principals glanced at her and smiled warmly, " Good day, CJ sapphire I suppose?", she nodded in response. The principal extends a hand and introduces herself, "I'm principal Celestia, and this is my sister ", she turned to her sister who responded, " Greetings,I'm vice-principal Luna. You're the new student if I'm correct?"

CJ seemed a bit distracted as her gaze went outside to the calming view. She quickly looked back at Luna and answered nonetheless, "Oh, yeah...right. Yes I am." Principal Celestia hands over to her a printed schedule. " That's your class schedule for now. Changes may be added later so for the time being, this will do."

Seemed like she was done here and was about to head out when the principal stopped her. "Hold on, You don't even know the way to your classes." Realisation hit CJ as she sighed deeply with a facepalm ," So now what?"

Celestia thought for a second and remembered," We have a student here named Sunset Shimmer who volunteered to be a school guide for new students. I'm sure she'd be happy to help."

After saying so, Luna went off to look for Sunset Shimmer like she knew exactly where she was. Celestia turned again to CJ , " Since you've gotten all you need, just take them to your locker. The number is 098, hope you'll have no trouble finding it?" asked Celestia to confirm from the girl. CJ thought a little and sighed," Sure, shouldn't be a problem".

Celestia beamed, " Great, go quickly and come back when you're done so Sunset Shimmer can give you the tour." CJ nodded and opened the door to leave as Celestia spoke again,this time looking at her computer screen" Hope you'll enjoy our school, and possibly even make some friends". CJ slightly scoffed, but Celestia didn't hear it.

"Yeah, I wouldn't count on that last part."
