How to Fit In

Misty was a Crystal Prep. student. She's been in that school for two years and she made lots of friends there. However, that changed too soon. She was on the phone with her father while she was in her dorm. "Misty" her father started, " I'm so sorry to tell you, but due to the low amount of money, you can no longer attend this school." Misty cried while she listened. Her father continued. "I wish you could remain there, but jobs are lost and mouths at home need to be fed. I'm sending you to Canterlot High, it'll be best for the both of us." Misty wiped her tears and responded. " I understand, father. I'll pack up my things and catch a bus home." She put her father on speaker as she packed. Her father coughed from the other side of the line. "You'll start there tomorrow" he continued, " and thank you for understanding. I'm sure you'll love it there." Misty closed her suitcase. "Okay, dad. See you soon." She hung up and walked out of her dorm.

The next day, Misty was right in front of the WonderColt statue at CHS. She was wearing a blue top and a black skirt. She kept the blue tie on as a reminder of her past at Crystal Prep. She walked through the doors and saw that the hallway was full of students wearing different outfits. This scared Misty, because she was so used to everyone wearing the same outfit back at her old school, so this was a first. She scanned the hallway and looked for her mentor/escort. Without her knowing, a boy walked next to her. He tapped her on the shoulder and said: "Excuse me, are you the exchange student from Crystal Prep?" Misty turned and saw the boy right next to her. He had gray skin, purple hair with a mohawk-like style, magenta eyes, and was wearing a purple shirt, jeans, and a purple bowtie. Misty nodded. "Yes, that's me. Hey, do you know who my escort is?" The boy laughed. "Yeah, it's me. My name is Violet, I'm your mentor. Let me show you around." Violet extended his hand and Misty took it.

They walked down the hallways to get to Violet's classes. How escorts worked in CHS was the mentor needs to go through all of his classes with the new kid and after school, the new kid can see the rest of the school. Misty followed Violet to his Geometry, Spanish, and Gym class. Then they went to lunch. They both sat at an empty table. Misty was then confused. "How come you sit alone" she asked? Violet looked at her and spoke in a sweet voice. He said: "I'm not very good at making friends. Principal Celestia thought if I showed you around, it would help me generate buzz. But, as it turns out, that didn't happen." Misty laughed. "Well, consider me your first official friend. You're a really nice guy to show me around and I can't wait to get started knowing that you're here." They both smiled. 

The day was over and Misty was back home. Her dad smiled at her. "How was your first day, sweetie" he asked? Misty smiled and blushed. "It was terrific. I fit right in."
