Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter II: Time for School
Twilight's Library
8:00 a.m.
Twilight and I sat down in a few chairs. Twilight was looking though a few books. I was...Well, I was sleeping. Turns out, Twilight placed me on the chair during the night. And that bed was so comfy.
Eventually, I woke up to find myself on a chair. I looked around for a few moments, And then spotted Twilight looking through some books.
She saw me awaken, And smiled. "Morning, Sleepyhead," She said to me.
I rubbed my eyes, And looked at her. "Morning." I heard my high voice again. "Great, So it WASN'T a dream. Even...Last night."
"Thunder, You don't need to be ashamed of a nightmare. Everypony has one sometimes."
"I know. It's just...What if you can't fix me? What if I end up living forever, While everypony I love dies around me? Pinkie, Dash, Rarity, You... Everyone."
"Don't worry. I'll make sure that doesn't happen," She replied with a smile.
"Thanks, Twilight." I smiled at her, Too, And closed my eyes, So hopefully, I can at least get some more sleep.
"No problem." She then looked at the clock. 8:05 a.m. "Oh my. You need to get to school."
After she said that, My eyes shot open. "Say what now?" I looked at her.
"When you were out cold yesterday, I headed to the school, And told Cheerilee about you. I didn't tell her your name, So you'll have to think of one when you get there."
I sighed, And facehoofed. 'The one thing I hate more than nightmares, Is school. The flying academy was the one I hate the most,' I thought to myself.
"Oh, Come on, It's not that bad." I heard Twilight respond.
I quickly looked up at her. "Did you just hear my thoughts?"
"Yep. Now, Hurry up. You gotta get to school."
I groaned. This is gonna be the worst day ever.
Schoolhouse
8:10 a.m.
After walking all the way across town, I finally reached the schoolhouse. Why didn't Twilight just teleport me? It would be a lot easier than having to walk all the way across Ponyville.
I shrugged it off, And walked into the schoolhouse. I entered the schoolhouse, And saw fillies and colts sitting in seats, And some colts and fillies getting ready to start the day.
"Why, Hello there!" I heard a voice call out to me. I turned to the front of the class to see Cheerilee standing there, A smile on her face. She always has one...
"You must be the new student Twilight Sparkle told me about," She added.
"Uhhh, Y-yeah," I stuttered for a second.
"By the way, She never told me your name. What is it, Hon?" She asked. I have never heard her say 'Hon' to anypony, Ever.
'Cmon, Thunder. Think of a name!' I thought to myself.
"Uhhh...Lightning Breeze?" I said. Good name, Thunder.
"That's a wonderful name, Lightning," She replied with a smile. Yes, I'm in the clear. I then saw Cheerilee look to the class.
"Good Morning, Everypony!" She yelled with delight.
"Good Morning, Ms. Cheerilee!" They all replied. Then they all spotted me, And started staring at me. Creepy...
"We have a new student joining us today, So let's say hello to Lightning Breeze."
I stood there for a moment, Before speaking up. "Uhh...Hello." I waved to everypony.
"So, Lightning, Where are you from?" Cheerilee asked me.
I didn't want to tell them that I grew up without parents, who I never saw again after the parasprite invasion in Canterlot.
"Well...I came from...The west side of Manehattan." I said. Good going. You might get through this day.
But, Just after I said that, The whole class gasped. I then saw an orange filly pegasus, Which must be Scootaloo, Speak up.
"Isn't that the rich part of the city?" She asked.
Oh shit! Great job, Thunder! "Uhh, Yeah. My parents were rich, But sadly, They got sick and passed away." Let's just hope that didn't really happen to them.
"Oh, No. I'm sorry to hear that." Cheerilee said with sadness. "Who are you living with now?"
"I'm living with Twilight. She's a close friend. She and her parents knew my parents very well." It's true. Except for them knowing my parents. They only knew me.
"Well, I'm very sorry for your loss, Lightning," Cheerilee replied.
"Thank you, Miss Cheerilee." To be honest, I never knew my parents much. I wish I knew them more.
Cheerilee smiled at me, And pointed to the class. "Now, There's a free seat right next to Apple Bloom."
"Okay." I began walking over to my empty seat. As I sat down, I completely had flashbacks of School in the past. The rulers...The bruises...The rulers...Oh Celestia.
But, The flashbacks went away when I felt a piece of paper hit me in the face. Cheerilee didn't even see. She had her back to us. I saw the paper land on my desk. I opened it up.
It said:
GO AWAY. NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE.
I looked at whoever threw it at me, And spotted Diamond Tiara, A filly who I heard was trouble, Sitting a row to my left, and two rows down. She glared at me.
She mouthed some words. Watch out, new kid.
I mouthed some words back. Bitch, Try and see what fucking happens.
She just rolled her eyes and paid attention back to the front of the classroom. This was the only time I've been like that to anypony.
I was just about to look to the front of the room, Until I noticed Apple Bloom on my left, Staring at me dreamily.
I just smiled nervously, Then slowly looked back to the front.
4 Hours Later
Outside
Lunchtime
I sat at a table outside. Some fillies and colts were eating their lunch, Others were playing. This day is less scary then when I first went to school.
I just stared at the table, Wondering what I'm going to do. If Twilight can't fix me, I'm gonna have to watch these kids grow up, While I permanently stay like this.
My thoughts were distracted when I saw a filly sit next to me. I looked, And noticed that it was Apple Bloom. "Hai," She said in her cowgirl accent. "Ahm Apple Bloom."
I smiled. "I know who you are."
"Really? Ah've never seen you aroun' here before," She replied in confusion.
I instantly remembered what I just said, And began to get nervous.
"W-Well, I m-mean, Is that...I've heard of your sister...Applejack. And Sweet Apple Acres. I read about how delicious your apples are, And I kinda wanted to visit your farm. But, After my parents died, I haven't really had time. Now that Twilight has been taking care of me, I might visit sometime." Nice save.
I then saw Apple Bloom begin to blush. "Uhh...What's your name?" She asked me.
"I'm Lightning. Remember, Miss Cheerilee introduced me?"
"Oh, Right. Sorry," She replied.
"Eh, No worries."
We continued to talk for a while, Until we heard the bell ring. "Time for class, Everypony!" I heard Cheerilee yell in a sing-song voice that reminded me of Pinkie.
I saw the kids begin to run back to the classroom. "I guess we should go, Now."
"Oh. Okai." Apple Bloom replied.
I began walking back to the classroom.
Apple Bloom's P.O.V.
I watched as Lightning began walking back to the classroom. I stared dreamily at him.
"Ah...Ah'm in love."
Short P.O.V. for Apple Bloom, But whatevs. Here's the second chapter. As I said, It might not be very good, So I might make much changes to it. If you want me to, That is. Man, I sound like Fluttershy.
Chapter III up soon!
