My backwards world

I wait till everybody leaves the room to leave, but then, right before Jacob leaves, he notices me still in my desk.

  "Hey what's up with the clothes today?" he smirks. I just get up and walk past him. "Whats the matter babe? Did I do something wrong?" He holds his arms out in the air.

  "Just leave me alone please, I'm not in the mood." He walks up to me and matches my speed. We are behind everyone else luckily.

  "Hey. What's the matter?"

  "I just...want to be...left alone....please." He rolls his eyes. When we finally get to the gym I see his friend waiting. Alex Strong. Ugh I hate that kid. I walk to the other side of Jacob to avoid him.

  We walk into the gym from the dim hallway, and I'm blinded by the light coming from the big windows and ceiling lights. We walk out onto the center of the gym and head to the bleachers past the freshman bleachers.

  "What's up with you?" I hear Alex ask from behind. "And whats up with the cruddy clothes?" He walks to the side of me.

  "Leave me alone Alex." I growl. "Now is not the time."

  We walk just past the principle, then Alex does the worst thing he could have ever done to me. He pulls down my hood, revealing my secret to the whole school. I spin around and see him frozen in place. He looks me in the eye, then falls unconscious, to the floor, which attracts everyone's attention. I hear gasps, and screams, erupt all around me, and I can feel the stare of a-thousand eyes.

  "M-Marie?" Jacob stutters, taking a step towards me about five feet away. "I-is that you?" Like before I look down, close my eyes, and sigh.

  "Yeah. It's me." He looks at me in disbelief, and confusion.

  I can hear chitter chatter coming from others, and I know they are talking about me, but it's not loud. It's actually quiet. I look at him and he reaches out to touch me face.

  "Are you a..." He pauses. I know he wants me to finish it, so might as well get it over and done with.

  "A pony? Yeah sadly. A pegasus to be exact, so I have wings. I guess." He just stands there gawking at me, and I can see people in the bleachers taking pics and videos with their phones and what not.

  "I-I understand if you want to break up with me." I tell him cause who's gonna want to date a pony?"

  "What? Why would I want to break up with you?" He manages to say.

  "Look at me! People are gonna think you only like animals!"

  He glares at me then walks over to the principle, and takes the microphone. Don't do what I think your gonna do. He walks back over to me.

  "Testing"

  He says into the microphone, and it echos all about the gymnasium.

  "What are you doing?!" I ask. He just smiles.

  "My name is Jacob Jackson as most of you know." He says into the microphone.

  "I am taken by the love of my life, Marie Sanderson, and believe it or not. This is her." He puts a hand on my shoulder as more gasps and stuff like that are let out.

  "We have been dating for three months as of last week. Now I was planning to ask her something very important today, and I figured now would be the best time."

  I don't know what he is thinking or what he is going to do, I'm lost at a sea of questions and worries that seems to never end. Then he turns to me getting about six inches from my face.

  "Will you, Marie Sanderson, let me take you to homecoming this friday?"

  Suddenly I feel a knot forming in my chest. Did he just ask me to homecoming? Like this? He lifts my chin with a hand so I can look him in the eye, and he smiles the sweetest smile I've seen. I feel myself begin to hyperventilate again. I take a deep breath, and let it out. I smile back at him with tears in my eyes. I take the microphone.

  "Yes Jacob. Yes I will." I say as a tear falls from my cheek.

  The people in the bleachers roar out clapping and stuff like that, and I see some of my other friends run down to us from the bleachers.  I see Alyza, and Jaccinda. They are smiling, yet I can see behind those smiles are confused teens. Jaccinda talks to Jacob, and Alyza comes to me.

  "Hey." I say looking down nervously.

  "Hey." She replies.

  "What's up?" She asks.

  "Well...I'm not sure if homecoming is gonna happen."

  "You just said yes to him!"

  "Yeah, but do you think my parents are gonna let me? Like this?"

  "Well I'm not sure but if they do, you are NOT wearing those." She says gesturing to my clothes.

  "Well yeah. I look like a homeless person." We both share a little chuckle.

  "Hey Marie?" Jacob asks.

  "Yeah?" I step over to him. He pulls me close and hugs me.

  "I love you Marie"

  "I love you too I say hugging him back."

  Then the principle walks over to us.

"You guys need to take your seats in the bleachers." He tells us.

"Okay" Me and Jacob say, and I hold on to him as we head for the bleachers with Alyza, and Jaccinda right behind us.

  We ascend the bleachers to the top, as many kids still stare and take pics and what not. We sit down by the stairs and I lean against Jacob. Right now I don't care what people think. I just want to cuddle with my boyfriend. Then the principle goes on with the assembly about what was supposed to happen.

  "I love you too Jacob. I want to hold on to you, but I don't have fingers anymore." We both laugh. I kiss him on the cheek, and he rubs my hair, er, mane.

  "Love the hair." He tells me. "I kinda like it too. I'm tired." I say yawning. I rest my head on his chest, and before I know it, I'm fast asleep.
