>You trudge through the school hallways going from class to class with as much spring in your step as the average corpse.
>Today’s been horrible.
>Your alarm didn’t go off this morning and almost made you late for class.
>You got your chemistry test back with a big red D on top.
>And worst of all, Fluttershy won’t talk to you anymore.
>You don’t even know why.
>Things were going really well yesterday.
>At least, you think things were going well.
>Fluttershy did really well in yesterday’s presentation.
>She smiled at you afterward.
>She smiled like she trusted you.
>Why couldn’t you just ask her out?
>You had no reason not to.
>The words just got caught in your throat when you two were out in the hall.
>Then she got away.
>After Norman’s talking-to, you were ready to ask her out today.
>But… something changed.
>She started acting so strange around you.
>She’ll stare at you, but she won’t maintain eye contact.
>You try to make casual conversation, but she talks to you like she’s never met you before.
>And then you really tried.
>You tried asking her out after class, but she wouldn’t answer you.
>She seemed so uncomfortable.
>Like she didn’t want to be near you.
>Then the bell rang, and she vanished.
>Leaving you alone and faintly humiliated.
>You’ve been rejected by girls before.
>Plenty of times.
>But… this one really hurt.
>Because it felt like, for a little bit, you had a real chance with Fluttershy.
>Norman said you’re the only guy she talks to.
>She really warmed up to you during your time studying together.
>Seeing her smile at you for the first time made your heart skip a beat.
>She’s the kindest, prettiest, most wonderful girl at school.
>But then something changed her.
>Or changed how she saw you.
>When you regain enough situational awareness to remember you take up physical space, you find yourself in the guy’s bathroom.
>You’re surrounded by faded, sterile white tiling and standing atop faintly sticky bathroom tiling.
>The only sounds your ears can discern are the faint reverberations of your own breathing echoing off the walls.
>At least nobody else is in here for once.
>As eerie as the bathroom can be when it’s empty, you’d much rather it be empty than have Snails and Snips messing around with the sinks.
>They’re not worth thinking about right now.
>Fluttershy is.
>What could have changed between you and her?
>You carefully review the events of yesterday to see if you made any mistakes.
>Could it have been how you made that comment about Rainbow Dash?
>She’s her oldest and closest friend, after all.
>Unlikely, she responded positively to that little remark.
>Was it how you volunteered her to go first for presentations?
>You should’ve known that she doesn’t do well in front of a crowd.
>You doubt it, she was grateful at the end that she got the presentation out of the way.
