Chapters The first day of school, was always the worst for me. No matter what school i went to, it always sucked. Each new face, a new begining, but sometimes, i end up getting beat up. Why? Well, for one, im not your typical student. Im an alicorn. I know what your thinking, pretty great, right? Well, not in my case. Heres the story of my school life.
I woke up that morning, pretty much the same way as anyother mare my age; by my mom. "Aurora! Time for school, wake up!" She pounded on my door, trying desperatly to wake me, but i just shut her out. Placeing the pillows over my head. "Come on, young mare. Wake up." She would leave eventually, it always was a waiting game with us. I stayed in bed until last minute, she would get frustrated and let me win. Didnt matter to me, i did pretty well in school anyway.
"Fine, stay in there for all i care, but your gonna miss your sister!" That woke me up. My sister only was home for a few weekss before going back to collage, and today, i go back to school. "C-coming mom!" I raced to get my stuff together, trying to grab all i needed, stuffing my bag and heading out the door with a brush in my magic. Quickly brushing my mane, i sat at the kitchen table and started eating. "Whoa, slow down there little sis." I nearly choked on my juice. I turned to the door and smiled wide. "Amythyst!" I hopped off my chair and hugged her.
She chuckled and huged me back. Funny, she and i are almost the same height, yet ponies think im the older one. She kissed my cheek and smiles warmly at me, that smile i get when shes happy. "Wow, sis... your first day of high school." I blush a little and nod. "Y-yeah... i think im ready for it this time..." she smilez reasuringly. "Youll be fine; and if anyone gives you trouble, just tell 'em your big sis is the captian of the hoofball team."
I nod and hug her again. "Alright you two, lets get going." Mom nudges us to the door, our saddle bags put on our backs. "And remember, no one messes with a windcloud." She smiles at us and closes the door. She giggles a bit and turns to me. "Hey, youll be fine. I promise. Dont let those other kids get to you." With that, she hugs me once again before taking off.
School. I always hated it. It sucked no matter where i went. Most of the time, it would start out great, then go down south for me. Each school had the same problems; bullies, class and girls. Bullies i had no real problem with, but sometimes they got annoying. Most bullying stick around for a while, others leave me be after they see im not worth it.
Class is another issue. I hate staying still for thirty to forty minutes. Its so, demeaning to me and isnt quite... nessacery to me. I can learn pretty well and pass, but its sitting that gets me. And the teachers, they look like their bored and want out as much as the students do. But, oh well. Lastly;girls.
Not so much the gosipers, or the snobs. No, im talking about the pretty girls that distract me sometimes. Some are drop dead gorgeous, others... too hot to handle. I cant seem to get enough courage to ask one out or even talk to them. Its hard, ya know? Guys are so good at talking to girls, but i get no luck with any of them.
Trotting up to the steps of the high school, i brace myself for yet another, long year at school.
Sometimes, i think life wants me gone. Sometimes i think its screwing with me for a reason. And sometimes, i think im better off dead. Heres why.
After i found a place to sit, i started to much on the gems i got, idly watching the ponies that come and go. No real comotion, no real drama so far. I was thinking life had finally given me a break for once. And then i saw her.
Zena Aldorous. She was gorgeous. And i mean gorgeous. She had emerald green scales that shown in the sunlight as she walked towards me. Her beautiful red eyes where locked on my, a gentle tenderness about them. Her smile was warm and welcoming as she came to me, her head high with pride.
My jaw went slack as i watched her. I couldnt beleive it. Zena Aldorous was coming over to speak to me. Best day of my life!
Quickly standing i smiled and tried to keep from squeeling like a schoolgirl. She giggled and sat down in front of me, still smiling. She shifted a little to get comfortable and bit her lip. I sat down and we simply stared at each other for a long while before i snapped out of my stuppur and offered a hoof.
"Its nice to meet you." She giggled and took my hoof in her hand and shook it gently. Angel sent from heaven... perfect. after that handshake, i offered her some gems and she gladly took some.
"Your more beautiful then i could ever have imagined." I offered a warm smile, but it must have come out differently becuase she giggled and blushed. She gestured to the pond and dipped a hand in.
"I love coming here... it makes me happy... and its a nice place to come and chst." She swirled the water a bit before simply letting her hand stay in the water. We looked in each others eyes and i could feel my heartbeat with hers. She scooted closer to me, i scooting closer as well. We leaned into each other and kissed lightly.
One inexperienced and eagor, the other wanting to show her effection. But it was a beautiful and passionate, though sloppy. I felt her hand on my hoof as we kissed. A that moment, nothing mattered. No one could bring us apart and i enjoyed every second we were together. Eventually, our lungs protested and we had to break apart to breathe.
She smiled at me as she took a few deep breathes. "Your a great kisser..." nuzzling my neck, she scooted closer and simply enjoyed my presence. Like a child with a blanket, seeking comfort and a gentle hold. She was happy with me and i enjoyed it. Resting a wing on her shoulder, i smiled and nuzzled her neck.
Just when i thought i had finaly broken the curse of no happiness, life stepped in once again.
I felt a large hand grab my neck and pull me by force away from her. She was shocked and watched as i was slammed into the wall, enough to crack it. All breathe was lost, some blood coming up as i struggled to breathe.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Aurora. You know better then to mess with my girl." The colts i saw in class where chuckling and looking at me like i was a carnival clown. He was a dark green pony, his mane like blue fire, his brother no different.
"Aurora! Light, let her go! Im not your girl!"
So far, schools been... nice, actually. No ones said anything, no ones been mean, nothing. I think karma, is being nice today. Either way, its only the first half of the day, and lunch, is around the corner.
Sitting in the third row from the left, i notice something. Or someone. I knew it was luck, or karma being slow, but i have a funny feeling, stuffs going to happen. Without turning my head, i could see two colts and a dragon looking at me. The dragon was a big, bulky looking guy, with a big scar on his left eye. His scale hue, was that of baby blue, maybe skyblue. His eyes, they look to be maroon. Odd.
The two colts, i could tell where brothers. They had the same mane and looked to be around, sixteen? So, either ninth graders or tenth. Either way, they looked at me like i was a peice of meat. You know, the carcases the butcher gets and they have to pound the meat to make it tender? Yeah. I was that, to them. Hopefully, there wont be a fight, but if so. Ill gladly show them their place.
After the bells rings, i exit class and head for my locker. Never thought I'd need one, but since im 'royal', the school insisted. So, i arrive at my locker and open it, a letter falling out. Rolling my eyes with a sigh, i put my bags in and pick up the letter. Surprisingly enough, the hoof writing was elegent and nice.
"Weird... must be from someone else then." See, back at my old school, i would get threat letters, all the time. And it got to a point to where, i dont have to look at the hoof writing to know whos its from. But this letter, was different, somehow. Opeing the letter, slowly, i pull out a paper.
No biggy, right? Wrong. On the paper, is a mares hoofwriting. My heart stopped. A mare? Already? I havent been at this school for two years yet and already? Wow. I must be doing something right. Heres what it said, to a key.
Dear Aurora,
I finally got the courage to write to you. Though, my words mean nothing to you, probably. Sorry, i get self concience and, i get nervous. Anyway, i really would like to meet you face to face at lunch today, by the pond. Please, dont disapoint me and reject. Ive been fond of you for a while. Your admirer, Zena Alborous.
I read through it seven times before i neatly dolded the letter again and put it in my locker, in my bags. After cleaning up a bit, i closed my locker and went to the lunchroom. Looking around, i saw dragons and alicorns chatting and eating. I got a bag of gems and some meat. Yeah, im weird like that, but oh well.
Walking towards the pond, i started to get nervous. What if she didnt find me likable? What if... she found out about my secret?
