Let me know what cha think :)
It was that day again. The dreaded day where you'd get pelted by red rubber balls and nearly killed by the jocks. If you're not so athletic, you're a goner. If you're a nerd, you might as well be dead anyway. But everyone still played.
Dodge ball day.
Rainbow was pumped. She jogged in place, a concentrated look on her face. She was one of the few kids in school who actually liked playing the dreadful game. She was really athletic so it was fun for her. The teen stretched her limbs.
She looked over at her friend Fluttershy.
The girl was chewing on her nails nervously. Fluttershy wad one of the weaker ones in the class and hated the game of pain and humiliation.
"This is gunna be awesome", Rainbow said excitedly.
Fluttershy looked at her friend.
"Awesome??. I'm gunna be killed out there".
Rainbow made pshh sound.
"No you won't. Stop being dramatic".
Fluttershy looled at the floor. Rainbow walked over to her. She sat down in the bleachers beside her.
"Don't worry", she said. "I'll protect you. Just remember to pay attention to your surroundings and keep your hands up so you can try to catch the ball".
Fluttershy bit her lip.
"I-I can try. We're playing with another class. I hope they're nice".
Another class??. That sounded exciting. Suddenly the sound of a door opening grabbed their attention. The girls looked across the gym room to the other side. Another class filed in.
Rainbow's eyes widened. Fluttershy squeaked in fear. Just great.
They saw Dumbbell and his friends walk in. The boys noticed them and smirked. Dumbbell and Rainbow Dash glared at eachother.
Suddenly Rainbow felt her hip bumped. Turning her head, she saw Pinkie Pie. The pink haired teen smiled.
"Don'tworry Dashie", she said. "Someone else is here".
There was a hint of tease in her voice. Rainbow raised an eyebrow. She looked around the large noisy gym, looking for anyone Pinkie might be talking about.
Suddenly she saw her.
Applejack Smith. Her three year major crush. Miss popular. Student body president. The girl who everyone likes or wants to be. Applejack was smart, had good grades, was pretty athletic so she wasn't just a pretty face.
Rainbow couldn't help but like her. She was cute and an amazing person.
All around amazing.
Applejack was with her friends. Rainbow turned back to look at Pinkie, a glare on her face, her cheeks pink.
"Shut up", she growled.
Pinkie giggled. "Applejack is heeere".
Rainbow suddenly felt self-conscious. She adjusted her shirt, tying her hair in a ponytail. She she glanced over at Applejack.
Wait. Why the heck should she care what Applejack thinks of her appearance. The blonde never looked at her as far as she knew. They never had any interaction or ever talked to one another. Applejack probably didn't even know who she was.
Rainbow felt her face fall at the truth of that thought. Applejack was the most popular girl in school. Rainbow was only the sports teams captain. Plus, Fluttershy, Pinkie and her weren't exactly invited to any kind of cool kid parties or ever part of the that crowd. Of coarse people knew them but they weren't speacial.
