Rejected Memories

Chapter Three - School

Cloudracer has kept me alive. One day, I was outside doing basically nothing and I heard some ponies joking about me. They criticized my glasses and my voice. I told Ms. Cheerilee and she gave them detentions. They spread rumors. They got another detention. They beat the living hell out of me. Another detention. They destroyed everything I had. No detentions. The teacher gave up. The ponies got suspended. Still didn't stop. They had basically convinced everypony I was the biggest jerk ever. Cloudracer tried to tell them otherwise. They didn't listen.

One day, they attacked me with knives. Sliced a chunk out of one of my legs and part of my sanity. I hadn't attacked them before this. I couldn't physically do it for some reason. The next day, they attack Cloud. They crossed a line. My parents marched down to the school with about 20 royal guards and had them basically watch me. The ponies switched from me and Cloud to me Cloud and the 20 royal guards. 16 of the 20 guards commuted suicide. Me and Cloudracer? Nope. I did try once, though Cloud saved me from the rope.

Me and her basically were facing an army of 6000. Two to 6000 isn't very good odds. We lost. My parents couldn't do anything about it any more. The ponies nearly killed Cloud again. Sliced her one wing up really good.  Carved "bitch" and "faggot" into her chest and flank. The ponies tried to make us leave but we couldn't. My family didn't have the bits. We tried to escape the torment, but I figured out a way to do it. I locked myself inside. Never went out. Never had any friends except for Cloudracer. Didn't see a use for them, really.

Over the 4 years of this, I learned to control emotions around people. I learned to not speak around people. I met a mare one day, yellow with a pink mane. She was trying to carry a couple bags of carrots but was struggling. I offered to help her and she accepted. I talked to her while we walked and told her about the ponies she said she would help in any way she can. She taught Cloud "The Stare", which worked for a while. Then, they decided to make line cross number three. They stabbed her in the eye. She is missing her left eye. Nobody that saw this sided with us. They sided with the ponies who did this to her. I hate every one of them. I just remember that someone cares. That keeps me alive.
