HI again my little ponies! just a quick word about this story. It's about Cinder Gold as a young filly and her friends during her school days.

So. Here. We. Go.

Hawthorn brewed in his seat. With a pencil he carved something into his classroom desk. "I'm not doing this anymore," snorted the tan unicorn, gritting his teeth.

"Uh?… then why are you doing that bro?" said Bramble, a dark brown pegasus, looking over at Hawthorn through his long mane that covered his eyes.

"Shut up stupid. I'm not doing THIS anymore! Detention!" he hissed.

"Hawthorn! Please be quiet. There is no talking in detention," Miss Sweet Pea, their teacher, said sternly.

Once Miss Sweet Pea returned to grading papers on her desk. Bramble looked back to his pal, whom was still cutting into the desk with his pencil. "Then, I guess we're going to stop getting into trouble, right bro?"

"No Bramble. I'm not changing. Not for anyone," he shot a menacing look to him, "I'm done following their rules. I'm done with trying to do better for others…. For now on I'm doing things my way Bramble."

Miss Sweet Pea looked up. "For the last time Hawthorn, no talking in class!"

The two colts sat silently at the back of the classroom till their teacher continued with her paperwork. Bramble leaned across his desk and whispered, "Then what are you going to do bro?"

"I said already," he growled, narrowing his eyes, "…My way," he finished the carving on his deck. It was an image of a frowning pony with a giant X slicing over it and a name under the picture that read: CINDER GOLD. Hawthorn sneered at his handy work, "Starting with this one!" quickly thrusting his pencil into the deck, the pencil sticking straight into the head of the frowning pony picture.

"That's it! You just earned yourself one week of detention Hawthorn!"

"AHHH!"

Thanks for reading. If you have any ideas, thoughts or concerns I would love to hear them.

Side Note: I was going to write this as a regular story with the rest of Cinder Gold's stories but because it kept getting bigger and longer I had to make it a stand alone story.
