The math class chaos

I wanted to try writing a short Equestria Girls comedy where a math class goes wrong and distractions keep happening by accident. I hope you enjoy! :)

 



 
It was just another ordinary school day at Canterlot High, until the bell rang signaling the start of math class. The class was taught by a teacher called Cranky. He was a middle-aged man who hardly ever smiled.
 
Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer all wandered into the classroom for the math lesson. All seven girls wondered to their desks and took a seat while they waited for Cranky to show up.
 
Pinkie Pie was bouncing in her seat from being so hyper due to eating 3 cupcakes, 2 cookies, and a chocolate bar for breakfast. "I hope the lesson goes well."
 
Other students soon poured into the room.
 
Soon enough Cranky arrived and turned on the projector screen as he started his lesson.
 
"Good morning, class! We'll be doing some algebra today in preparantion for the test in three weeks time. It's important, so let's go over some stuff." He changed the projector slide. "This triangle here has measurements that..."
 
He didn’t get to finish because, suddenly, Rarity raised her hand, looking completely serious. The word triangle made her suddenly think of a new project with a very important question to answer.
 
"Yes, Rarity?" Cranky asked, expecting a question about the test.
 
"Mr. Cranky, if we’re talking about triangles," she began, her tone entirely too serious for what she was about to ask next, "what would be the best fabric for making a triangle-shaped dress? I was thinking a lovely chiffon or—"
 
Cranky’s face looked annoyed that Rarity was getting the lesson off-topic. “We are not discussing dresses! We are solving for areas! Geometric areas! Triangles, Rarity, triangles!"
 
The rest of the class started to quietly giggle at how Rarity had asked such an off-topic question. Rarity suddenly looked slightlt embarrassed. "Maybe the new dress ideas can wait till after the lesson," she said quietly looking slight embarrassed.
 
 
"We need to stay focused," Cranky explained to the class. "Today
 
we'll be going over some topics that will appear on the next test in three weeks times. It's a serious test and ain't no fun and games, so...-"
 
Pinkie Pie's hand shot up after hearing the word 'game'. "Oooh, oooh! Cranky! Please can we play a game?"
 
Cranky sighed loudly. "No, Pinkie, you can't play a game. This is math class, not a place to have fun."
 
"We could play an Xbox," Pinkie suggested.  "Or maybe..."
 
"We're not playing any games," Cranky grumbled.
 
"How about a board game instead?" Pinkie suggested, still hoping to play a game.
 
Cranky sighed loudly and decided to ignore Pinkie and try to carry on with the lesson. But he suddenly saw Rainbow Dash texting on her phone.
 
"Is there something going on over there, Dash?" Cranky barked, his tone sharp and frustrated.
 
“Um, nothing, Cranky!” Dash said quickly, trying to hide her phone
.
Cranky then went to the next slide of his presentation about math. "Now I've broke down into percentages what type of marh questions appear on the test. This pie chart here demonstartes."
 
Pinkie Pie suddenly gasped excitedly. "Did you say pie? Will we get to eat pie in the test. Will there be a pie eating contest?" She kept on immediately starting new sentences every time she finished a previous one.  "I love blueberry and cherry pies best. But I also like..."
 
Cranky sighed heavily. "Pinkie," he said, interrupting her. "We’re not discussing pies. We’re doing math. Now, focus."
 
"But you said ‘pie,’ and pies are fun to talk about. So maybe we should figure out how many pies it would take to reach the floor to the ceilong of this room !" Pinkie grinned, and Cranky’s eye twitched.
 
The rest of the class giggled, but Cranky pushed through it, chalking up Pinkie’s antics as just another distraction. "Let’s move on since we're getting off-topic," he said, trying to regain control of the class.
 
But just as he was about to carry on with the lesson, the door swung open, and Flash Sentry, who had been running errands for Principal Celestia, walked in carrying a massive stack of books to put back on the bookshelf. He tripped on a cupcake thay was lying on the floor, sending the entire pile tumbling across the room. Books scattered everywhere, landing on students' heads, desks, and even on the projector.
 
"Whoops, sorry about that," he said as he helped Cranky pick up books.
 
"Why can't things ever just be easy for me?" Cranky moaned to himself whike picking up books.
 
Once he and Flash finished picking uo the books and Flash left the room, he tried to carry on with his lesson. "Getting back to the lesson," he growled. I wanted to go over page 88 in the math book." Students flicked open the books to page 88. "Now I bet some of you are wondering how does this question...
 
"Gasp!" The whole class turned towards where Rarity was sitting, as she had just let out a panicked gasp and had a horrified expression on her face.
 
Cranky was slightly concerned. "Is everything alright, Rarity?" He asked, while the class wondered what on earth was wong with Rarity.
 
Rarity took a deep breath in her usual dramatic behaviour. "I’ve just realised I forgot to paint my nails this morning. How embarrassing that I forgot to paint my nails with my new nail polish. Do you mind if I quickly paint my nails and give myself a proper manicure real quickly?"
 
"You are not getting a manicure in math class, Rarity," Cranky said through gritted teeth, still annoyed his lesson was disturbed again. "And no, I’m not going to let you ignore this lessons for a few minutes."
 
"Oh, but Cranky!" Rarity said, batting her eyelashes. "A lovely shade of pink would just bring out the natural charms of my nails. I want to be the talk of the school!"
 
Rarity then took out her nail polish and brush and ignored Cranky's repsonse to her question and started painting her nails.
 
"STOP IT!" Cranky exploded, slamming his papers down on the desk. "This is not a beauty salon!"
 
"Just a minute," Rarity replied, painting her nails a shade of pink. "I'll be done it a second."
 
Cranky was getting so furious at this point. "I will not tolerate any more disruptions!" Cranky yelled, shaking his hand. "This is supposed to be a serious math lesson, not a playground! Seriously, next thing we know there will be a song being sung about this class."
 
Pinkie leapt up from her chair and started waving her hands excited. "Ooooo, oooo, I want to sing a song," She said, waving her hands and all excited, oblivious to the fact that was the last thing Cranky wanted to hear.
 
Before Cranky could respond, she started singing in a loud voice:
 
"We’re stuck in math class, learning about math questions."
 
Cranky’s eyes narrowed. "NO SINGING!”
 
Fluttershy raised a finger cautiously to Pinkie. “Um… I don’t think we should...”
 
Pinkie started tapping a rhythm on her desk with a pen while singing. Pinkie was too into the song to notice anything else "Math's such a bore, let’s make it a show!”
 
By now Cranky was growling in anger. Pinkie suddenly stopped singing once she saw Cranky's face and realised she shouldn't have done that. "Sorry, I just love singing.
 
Twilight noticed this and didn't want to see Pinkie get in trouble, so decided to try
 
Twilight, trying to be helpful, leaned over to Pinkie and said “Maybe we should be quiet. We don’t want to upset him. And it's distracting from the lesson.” But then she accidentally knocked over a pencil cup, sending pencils scattering everywhere. She looked at Cranky with wide, apologetic eyes, her cheeks flushed.
 
Cranky glared at her. "This class is so stressful.
 
Twilight looked embarrassed at her little mistake. "I'm so sorry Cranky. I didn't mean too, really." As she picked up the pencils.
 
However, Pinkie grabbed a few pencils and started juggling them. "Look, look at what I can do, everybody." She shouted enthusiastically.
 
A few students started clapping in response. But Cranky's face went redder.
 
Cranky Doodle exploded. “I’ve had it! ENOUGH! You think you’re funny, huh? You think math is some kind of joke, Pinkie?!”
 
“Well, yeah,” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. “It’s just one big comedy show!”
 
"I swear," Cranky muttered to himself, "if I have to deal with one more…"
 
Boing!
 
The sound echoed through the room as a bouncy ball went bouncing off several walls and the floor. It eventually bounched right out the window.
 
"Who threw that?" Cranky roared. The class went silent as everyone looked around. Rainbow Dash sat there trying to look innocent. She had been bouncing the ball while he hadn't been looking but had thrown it too hard causing it to bounce out of control. She hadn't meant for it to bouncr all over the room.
 
Cranky threw the ball in the bin. "Now in your textbooks..."
 
"Wah!" Suddenly Derpy Hooves had fallen off her chair and onto the floor. She was now lying on a heap in the floor.
 
"What did you do?" Cranky asked her facepalming.
 
"Err, I was just leaning in my chair a bit," Derpy replied, her usual clumsiness showing as she tried pushing herself back up but accidently falling back down again in a heap.
 
Cranky could only mutter under his breath. “Worst. Day. Ever.”
 
Just when Cranky thought things couldn't get worse, a high-pitched beep beep beep, then a strange buzzing sound, followed by an engine revving outside. “Vroom vroom!" It was lawnmower mowing the school's sports fields.
 
Cranky stormed over to the window and
 
"Alright, that’s it!" Cranky shouted, throwing his hands up in frustration. "I give up! Why does every single thing that could possibly go wrong always go wrong when I’m teaching? I’m just trying to get through one lesson!
"
Cranky sighed. "Everyone, feel free to just leave class early. I can't be bothered to deal with this anymore."
 
The class all got up and left. Derpy Hooves ended up tripping on a chair on the way out. The Main 7 once they left the class all started talking.
 
"Well, that was the most entertaining math class I've seen," Rainbow Dash said laughing. "Pinkie and Rarity's accidently causing a few disruptions with off-topic questions and fun was hilarious."
 
Sunset laughed too. "And when Derpy feel off her chair. Classic Derpy being clumsy right there."
 
Twilight was a little embarassed at accidently knocking the pens over. "I do feel so bad for accidently knocking over those pens."
 
"Relax, Twi," Sunset replied. "You're the smartest student in the school.
 
"It's only natural you'll make a clumsy mistake like that every once in a while."
 
"You know, I feel bad for accidently stressing Cranky out, so I've left him a cake on his desk to cheer him up."
 
"And it's best to try and ask only on-topic questions next time," Applejack said looking at Pinkie and Rarity.
 
Meanwhile, in the classroom Cranky was mumbling about how retirement couldn't come soon enough. "Oh well. At least the cafe food and music here is good" He said to himself. "And you know what, maybe it was a little bit funny when the books went flying everywhere and some of the questions that were asked. Suddenly, Cranky did something he rarely did, he had a tiny smile appear on his face from chuckling to himself.

Wow, poor Cranky :( . I suppose, at the very least, he didn't get sued by Stelios (though, it was a bit dangerous of him to say "Why can't things ever just be easy for me?"... he was lucky he didn't get in trouble for that :lol: !)

And at least he was smiling by the end of it :) .
