My backwards world

I know I'm sleeping but I can still hear everything going on, but suddenly I'm nudged awake by someone, or something. I open my eyes to see everybody walking off the bleachers. I notice a lot of kids staring at me...but why? Then I remember. Oh yeah...I'm a pony. "Hey sleepy head." I hear a voice say. I look up to see Jacob. "Hey." He smiles a me. "Time to go." He tells me. I get up again on my hind legs like before. I stretch and let out a big yawn. I blink a couple times, then we make our way down the bleachers. I notice Alex isn't on the floor anymore. He is waiting by the door to the hall way. I lean on Jacob as we walk.

  We get to the door when we are stopped by Principle Peter. "Marie!" He calls to me. I put my hood back up, as I turn to walk to him. "Y-yeah?" "First off, no hoods up in my school for any reason." He says pulling my hood back down. "Dude, this is so emberassing, so I'm gonna have it up." I say to him. "Look. I know this may be hard for you, so I'm going to email your teachers that if you don't feel right in class you can come down to my office to do your work." "Thanks I guess, but my mom won't like it. She sent me to school anyway so if I don't go to class she might get mad. I tell him. "Well I care about your education, and your safety. Why don't we go to my office to talk." "Okay." "C-can Jacob come? I don't feel safe without him." "Sorry, but he has to go to class." Ugh." I groan. "Bye Marie." Jacob says to me as the principle leads me away.

  "Can I please at least put my hood up till we get to your office? You don't have any clue what goes on in the heads of those immature kids." "Fine." I make a sigh of relief as I put my hood up again. "Thanks." When we get out to the hallway I see kids oing to and fro from every direction again. Some kids notice me anyway by the ugly sweater, even though my hood is up. Ahead I see Alyza giggling at me. She follows as we pass her. "Hey Marie!!" She says nudging me with an elbow. "How does it feel being a pony?" She smirks and walks off. "See?" Thats just a fraction of what could happen!" I say to Mr. Peter. "Why?" "So you don't think nobody is gonna notice that I look like I just came from a little girls cartoon?!" "What one is that? And don't get snooty with me." He snaps. "Well sorry! It's not my fault this happened to me! It's bad enough that I'm this now, so I'm not gonna even mention that retarded show."

  He doesn't respond this time. I see his office just ahead through the crowd of kids. As we step in to it the temperature of the air goes from warm, to cold. I take my hood off as I sit in a chair in front of his desk. I' so angry right now. I haven't been the one to be seen as angry. It's very rare that I get mad, but now I'm just pissed!! Mr. Peter sits in his chair on the other side of the desk, and turns to his computer and begins to type away. "I don't really feel like talking right now just to let you know. I'm very angry so I ask nicely to please leave me be." I tell him. "That's up to you. I'm just going to say that if you don't feel ok in your other classes, to tell your teacher that your going to come here."

  I sigh as I lean back in the chair. "I'm going to let your first hour teacher know that I'm keeping you here, unless you want to go to class."I think I will just go because my mother will be pissed to find out that she sent me to school, yet I didn't go to any classes." "Okay, are you sure?" He asks leaning towards me. "Yeah, I'm sure." I say looking to the floor. "Okay then. I will give you a late pass and you can be on your way." He takes out a pencil from a drawer, and a pink slip of paper. He writes my name date time, class I'm going to and signs his name like usual. He stands up and walks over to me, and hands me the slip. "Hey, I know this must be strange and sudden to you, and I'm not sure what to think of it myself, but you just come here if you want to talk okay? I want you to feel safe." "Okay." I say taking the slip as I leave.

  As I step out into the hall, I notice some kids are still rushing to class even though the bell rang three minutes ago. One girl stares at me as she walks by me. We are walking in the same direction at the same pace. I don't look at her. "What do you want already?" I snap at her. "N-nothing." She stammers. "Then quit staring." I realize I had forgotten to put my hood up when I left. "What your name?" She asks. "Were you not at the assembly?" I say rolling my eyes. "Y-yeah...I was." "Then you should know who I am. I turn my head to look at her, then I realize, she is in my first hour. "Marie Sanderson right?" She asks. "Yup." We continue walking but now we are both silent. We take a right down an all yellow hally which stinks like heck, and turn right into the first classroom. The door was closed, and creeks when opened so most of the kids in there looked up from their desks to see a pony standing before them.
