Dashed Into Trouble

     The next morning, after a long day of hiding in the closet and sleeping in the balcony, I was offered to go to school. Jessica said that ponies need to learn, too, so I might as well try it. It sounds awfully risky, I must admit. She gave my a hoodie and a pair of rainbow colored boots. I didn't know how to hide my wings comfortably, since I had them stuffed in the hooded thing,

    The bus came, as I pulled the hood over my head, and hopped on the bus. Lots of humans climbed on, too. I started wondering.... how long would I last without going totally nuts. Someone sat beside me. He had curly-ish hair, and a purple book-bag. She took out her I pad from the bag, hiding it from anyone who was nosy enough to stick their face in her seat.

"Hey, I've never seen you before. Are you new here?" she asked, turning off the flat object in her hands. I started sweating, my hoodie getting all sticky around my wings. And if you were a pegsus who's destiny is flying, you'd find it really irritating.

"Uhm, I'm uh...." I tried to think of something fast. Nopony- er, nobody would go without being suspicious of the name 'Rainbow Dash', not to mention the voice. I started to sweat again.

'Uh..... I can't tell..." I said quietly. I slapped myself for sounding like Fluttershy. Right on the flank.

"It's fine. So.... if you need to know anything, them I'd be happy to help." she said, going back to her video game. I nodded, but she didn't notice.

"So, what's your old school's name?"

"The Wonderbolt academy," I spilled. I shrunk into my seat, my wings quivering. Please, Celestia, no, don't....

"That's a nice name. Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah... just nervous, that's all," I lied, my tail flicking under my pants. It slid through, a few rainbow hairs left on the seat. I gulped.

"Heh, that's how I was on my first day. Are you sure it's that? Why are you staring at your..."

My head jerked, spinning around to face her, well, if my face wasn't under this hood. My blood went ice cold as the bus stopped, arriving at the school. There was a line of buses, so we couldn't get off until we reached the front. How'd I go outside with a tail?!

   They'd kick me out from school- the neighborhood- no, the whole world! I could barely stand it anymore. My tail hurt from me sitting on it, my wings shaky from being pressed so hard between the seat and my back. It's all over, Dash.
