September 21,

I wonder why I am different, I act like normal kids, talk like them, even dress like them, but alias I never "hang out" with kids my age, except Faria, of course, but why I just don't get what makes me different. Is it the fact that I'm the same coat and mane colors (with a slight difference in highlight color) as Queen Twilight. If so I couldn't live with the fact of me being related to the Queen, now of course being that the other kids decided I was lying, I just thought that I could show them but the fact is, I can't, my mother has no resemblance to me and my father...I never met him, but my mother always says he was a great pony and that I shouldn't let everypony get me down. So I took her advise and stopped listening to them, of course it got worse over the years, I grew to have a temper and that lead to me getting expelled multiple times, I even broke a boy's nose. This made my mother heartbroken, she really hated seeing me upset and the way kids were I had to fight back, I couldn't just take it, my personality wouldn't allow it, but strange as it is I normally take no mercy, while mother and Faria on the other hoof are so relaxed and mild mannered, but then again they don't go through what I go through.

Well, I think this has been enough for one day, till tomorrow journal farewell.

I close my journal to the sound of mom calling me.

"Clearia, time to do the dishes," She yells.

" Okay, one second," I yell. I slide my journal under my pillow, and trot down the stairs.

"There you are, go and help your sister with the dishes," she said.

"Alright, I'm going," I say.

I walk into the kitchen and see Faria standing there with an expression like 'well aren't you going to help' on her face.

"Okay, I'll do the drying and putting away, while you wash. Deal?" I ask.

"Nope, I'm drying and putting away, mom already said I could." She said.

"Fine, but I'm doing it next time." I say.

"Okay, deal," she says, we shake hooves and start to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day happened so fast I hardly remembered it.

I was sitting on the see-saw with Faria, when out of nowhere a colt much larger than me and Faria combined, came and pushed her off, then doing so made me hit the ground.

"Oooof" I said "Hey why did you do-" but before I could finish he pulled the other end down and I went flying off into the bushes headfirst.

"Ha, not only does she act weird, but she flies just as weird." Said a boy, who apparently got the bigger colt to do it. Laughter, ridicule, and hushed murmurs were all I could hear when Faria came to check on me and I was about as embarrassed as I could get.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yes, but my pride is hurt a little." I say.

Then I hear the bell ring and all the other kids file into class, me and Faria both try to get back to class without getting caught.

"STOP RIGHT THERE, Clearia." A loud and demanding voice called out. Then Faria ran off to avoid him.

Great, just what I needed, a verbal lashing from my most least favorite of all the principles Mr. Malkyspet who of course hates me the most over everyone with all his black hole of a heart. I guess because I've got a record and he wants me gone as soon as possible.

"Okay, Mr. Malkispit, but I can explain." I say

"THAT'S MALKYSPET AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, GO HOME AND CLEAN YOURSELF UP OR DON'T COME BACK YOU UNGRACIOUS LITTLE WASTE!" He yells.

"But, today is the day of the project and Faria can't do it with out me." I say.

"Well, I guess you'll let her down because I'm escorting you off the premises imminently and if you come back today I will give you detention for a week." He said "Now move!"

" But can't I at least explain to her-" "GO!" He interrupts me and I walk out with my head bowed.

As I walk out of the school, I see the metal horseless wagon going by and I quickly hop onto the back of the wagon to catch a ride back to my house.

I see the streets pass as we go by and finally I see mine and I jump off to go home. I stop in front of my house to see its beauty and cute appearance. It was designed by some pony famous, her name was Rarity and I still wonder how mother got her to design it. She being famous and all, its as if she had some kind of connection or something. My mother apparently saw me outside and she hissed at me to get inside.

As I walk inside she explodes "WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME, CLEARIA!!!" She says with venom in her voice.

"It wasn't me, I was the victim. Okay, me and Faria were on the see-saw and some other colt pushed her off and launched me  into the bushes, then before I knew it Malkyspet sent me home." I said in my defense.

"Oh, so I guess that's why you are all dirty. Well I'm going to have to talk to the principle about this. So I guess there is no point in asking if you had a good day." She said.

"Yes, there would be no point because it was the worst day of my life" I say as I slump on the couch.

"Hmmm can I tell you something I haven't told anyone in a long time?" she asked.

My ears perk up "Yeah, what is it?" I ask.

I Remember when I was a kid I was bullied by two girls because I was a blank flank for a long time. I hated these girls for a long time they bullied and verbally abused me all the time. But, I also have to thank them they were the one who helped me find my friends and we formed a group called the-" "Cutie Mark Crusaders and they helped you find your talent of singing, yeah we've heard this story ,but you never said it was you." I said over her.

"Yes, it was me, Scootaloo, and Applebloom and we we're the CMC until we all got our cutie marks and we still hung out just not as much and because we had nothing in common anymore, so we talked less and less until we stoped seeing each other at all." She took in a moment of clarity, but quickly shook it away. "So that's why you shouldn't let anyone break you because you might just find what you're looking for."

She gets up off the couch and walks off into the other room.

I wonder if I still have it. Aha, I pull out a photo of three fillies, a earth pony, a pegasi, and a unicorn they all seem so distant but maybe just maybe she looks closer and remembers the day the first day they met at Diamond Tiara's birthday, we looked so happy together. I wonder if they would still want to hang out. "No" I say, you have a new life you can't risk going back just to see some old ponies that have forgotten about you, but still I wish I knew what they were doing now.
