1st Day of School

My name is Powder. I am a girl. No, no, no this isn’t a cocaine story. It is a meth story. No, but seriously though if you do either of those stop reading this story and seek mental help. No this a story how a white pony went through life, and how I interacted with others. My parents were dukes of a town named Fuzzlenutts. Yes I know the towns name was awfully ridiculous, but it's fun to say it over and over again. My parents were the richest people in the town. Even though my parents were rich they did not use it as a means to put down people and harm others. They shared their wealth quite frequently in fact. We have dozens of butlers who get paid handsomely for their hard work and dedication to the family. Heck they are practically family. They got their riches from selling weapons.

My parents had me at a young age and apparently I have this condition called albinism. Which means I can get damaged by the sun pretty easily. They loved me so much from what I read about them in the letters they left for me. When I was three, they were both murdered. The police say they never found the culprits who did it. For that my new caretaker, a maid named Ms. Huggs, took me to her hometown Ponyville. We had to move everything to a new mansion on the outskirts of the town. Many ponies did not know who we were they thought we were a parade. Then Ms. Huggs settle all that out with the locals.

I am five now. I am an earth pony. I have no friends sadly. Apparently, there is a legendary group of ponies called the Elements of Harmony. They’re names are Rainbow Blitz, Dusk Shine, Bubble Berry, Applejack (Male), Elusive, and Butterscotch. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get ready for school. I don’t have a cutie mark yet, but I am sure that’ll change. I had to wear a lot of clothing to keep the sun from you know, killing me. I wore a large, yellow sun hat that covered the front half of my body and a long yellow skirt that dragged on the floor. I put on my watch on that my dad bought for me, and my diamond choker that my mother bought for me.

“Powder are you almost ready for school?!” Ms. Huggs asked.

“Yes, Ms. Huggs.” I answered politely. I galloped down the stairs to meet Ms. Huggs. She looked me over to make sure none of my body was exposed. I put on my sunglasses. She walked me to the school house about an earlier than anypony else.

We met with the teacher. His name was Mr. Cherilee. He was just opening the school house when we arrived.

“Hey, why aren’t you early.” said Cherilee enthusiastically.

“Mr. Cherilee, this is Powder she is albinistic.” said Ms. Huggs as I curtsied. Cherilee nodded in response. “She is not allowed to go outside the school house without the hat and the skirt on, or she could end up in the hospital, or worse in a grave.” said Ms. Huggs. Ms. Huggs was always like that she was usually quite blunt and to the point. She was also kind and loving, but do not get on her bad side. She gave me my lunch.

“Understood,” said Mr. Cherilee and with that Ms. Huggs left, “Its Powder right.” I nodded in acknowledgement of my own name. “Cool do you mind if you come and help me set up my class.” said Cherilee. Once we got in the school house I put my hat and skirt in my bag.

I answered with, “No Problem.” Cherilee and I set up the room for the class in the next hour.

Lunchtime…

I still haven’t found a single person to hangout yet. Probably do to the fact that my eyes are a deep shade of red making me look like a demon. Also there’s a rumor that the house that I live in is haunted. Which is stupid because we built the house on private property. Hhhh I don’t need friends that are idiots. I sat at a table by myself in the shade.

Uh oh bullies.

“If ain’t the white hag from the depths of the underworld.” said Diamond Crown.

Without breaking a sweat I replied with, “I wish your dad’s money bought you IQ points instead of that dum Tiara.”

“At least we have parents.” said Silver Spoon that was low.

I retaliated with, “Hey at least my only calling cards are being rich and mean.” It seemed to work they were irritated and leaving, until I noticed that there was a third bully. That was sneaking behind me. His name was Bold Seed. He stole my hat and put it in a sunny area. I was trapped no amount of words could save me. They had beaten me.

I had been staring at my hand for about half the lunch period. That’s when she helped me out of my current predicament. She was tall filly and she had a little blue filly with her. They were both unicorns. They picked up my hat and brought it to me. Then they just left. I need to know their names. I fell asleep during roll call, so I don’t really names that well.

After School…

I wanted to go home, but the bullies weren’t done with me yet. The three of them cut me off in the hallway of the school house. This attracted a large crowd of kids to swarm us. “So, the Hag has jokes.” said Bold Seed.

“And what is it that you do besides steal.” I said pretending that he didn’t exist.

He got physical. He tried to kick me. I ducked in the nick of time. He slipped and fell after his back hooves found nothing. The two bullies charged me at my sides. Another well time duck found them running into them head first. I grabbed my hat from the floor. Left a crowd of kids in aww. A filly kicked three of the toughest kids flanks without breaking a sweat.

“How was your day at school today Powder?” asked Ms. Huggs.

“It was exciting I can’t wait till tomorrow.” I said with a smile on my face.

Smart no. Dumb obviously. Angry yes. Hatred ehh. Bold Seed and Silver Spoon we’re scheming. I caught them out of the corner of my eye.

“Now are you sure you guys aren’t a couple because you hangout an awful lot of time together for just friends.” I said walking towards them. They stuck their tongue out at me. Mature. That’s when I noticed that one of them was missing. “Where’s king doofus at?” I asked them

Almost as a reply a spit ball hit my cheek. The two started laughing historically. I wiped it off. “Ms. Powder can I see you in my room please.” said Mr. Cherilee.

“Ooooohhhh,” cooed the trio of idiots. I rolled my eyes and walked towards Cherilee. Between me and you the trio give me inspiration.

Cherilee’s Office…..

“Please have a seat.” Said Cherilee. I sat down at a desk across from him. “On the back of your math test this week you wrote a quadratic equation. I am still on basic addition. How on earth did you learn this?” Said Mr. Cherilee.

“I have been taught math for a long time since I was 2 years old.” I said. “Parents never wanted me to be slow when it came to the good old numbers.”

“I have talked with some teachers at the local middle school and they would love to have you because quite frankly your talents here are being wasted.” Said Cherilee. I shrugged in response. A tall stallion walked in with a bow tie. He was much taller than me. Brown hair. White fur. Blue eyes.

“Hello my name is Mr. Hooves. I am the math teacher at the local middle school. On my behalf I would like to personally take you to our middle school and allow you to advance much further.” Said Mr. Hooves.

“I’m in.” I replied. With that I walked with Mr. Hooves out and towards the middle school. While we were walking out the trio were wondering what kind of trouble was in. With one last glance over the top of my sunglasses I waved the trio goodbye.

Middle school…

“Ms. Huggs has already been notified of the change in school, ” Mr. Hooves said, and he put books in my bag and said, “your first class is right here,” he said, handing me a schedule with room numbers and a map.

It was a huge middle school, and according to schedule I was going to be late if I didn’t hurry. “Thanks Mr. Hooves. I Have it from here.” I said moving towards the class. Apparently I have him after lunch.

First Period…

Language Arts. I burst into the class as the bell ringed signaling tardiness. A lot of the kids were staring at me.

“Ahh… Powder is it. I need you to introduce yourself to the class.” She said as I was so close to sitting on the chair. So instead I dropped off my things, and moved to the front of the class.

“My name is powder. I am 5 years old,” I started as the class gasped, “ I have no parents, I have a disease called albinism that makes the pigments of my skin appear very vibrant white, my mane and tail a potent blond, and my eyes red.” I said, taking off my glasses. That was followed by an oh.

“Are you batpony?” Asked a colt in the back of the class. Class laughed.

I did what I did best and I cracked a joke. “You mean a loner in a costume nah. I think myself a little higher on a totem pole about high enough to tell you your I.Q points are higher than looks and that saying something that your I.Q score read zero.” I retaliated with that and the kid fell silent as the class and teacher laughed. That’s when I noticed a slight glow towards my back area, so did everyone else. As my cutie mark started materializing. It was a comedy mask on the front of a shield. The class fell silent. So did I.

“Congrats kid you got your cutie mark” said the Teacher as the class applauded. The kid who made the quip silently said your dead.

‘Ah buck’ I thought as I recognized a similar coloration to Silver spoon, and I realized that Silver Spoon has an older brother. ‘Welcome to the big leagues kid,’ I thought as we went through the rest of class.

Bit Mash

Ms. Huggs walked me home. I had finished my homework before I left school, so I was kind of free to do basically what I wanted to do. Well what I wanted to do in my age group. I asked Ms. Huggs if I could go explore the town. She shrugged her shoulders and responded with “Make sure you stay out of the sun.” So I walked around Ponyville for a while. I walked past a little filly playing some sort of video game. She seemed to notice my presence, or saw the confrontation with the bullies.

“Hey, your that filly that took on the three bullies at the school house.” said the little brown filly she said standing up I looked at her and just shrugged. “My name is Bit Mash. I thought what you said to them back their was pretty funny, but you have just went to war with the three most unforgiven ponies in the town.” said Bit Mash.

“They just haven’t met me, yet. Let them come. They will just end up ruining themselves.” I said. Bit Mash was noticeably distress. “They’re right behind me.” I said. Bit Mash nodded.

“If it isn’t misses die in sunshine.” said Diamond Crown.

“How’s your concussion feeling?” I asked smuggly. Bit Mash snickered. Diamond Crown turned his attention on her. She gulped.

“Something funny dork.” said Diamond Crown. Bit Mash flinched.

“Hey, hey your issue is with me leave her out of this.” I said. It worked his goons and him turned their attention back to me.

“Alright sunshine,” said Diamond Crown he looked at his goons. They outmanned me and took my hat and ran away. I chased them for a while until the shade cut off and they ran off to a high building dead in the middle of the street where the sunlight hits the hardest. Bold seed threw the hat at the top of the building. They had beat me. I was stumped. If I cross the street I could risk a serious skin burn, or even skin cancer. The trio had left the area. I didn't even notice that Bit Mash had followed me.

Bit Mash was out of breath, but she eventually recovered. “I know the people who work there. I can see if I can get your hat.” She walked over to the shop across the street. About ten minutes I saw Bit Mash on the roof. She had retrieved my hat. She climbed down the stairway she came out of the store. She walked over to me and handed me my hat.

“Thank you.” I said putting my hat back on.

“I kinda owe you one for saving my flank back there,” said Bit Mash, “I have to go, so if you see me tomorrow I would like you to meet the others in our little group.” With that Bit Mash and I parted ways.

I walked home. It wasn’t that far. When I reached my home, the smell of food hung on the air. It was dinner time. With that my first day of school was over.
