Kirin in the school of friendship

When I got back to the main room, everyone was still there, I couldn’t see Gallus in the crowd though.

Then, suddenly, a voice spoke up. “Welcome everycreature, this, for the most of you, will be your third year here, but we do have one new student. WinterStream could you please come up here.” Twilight spoke to the crowd.

Oh no, no, no no no. I CAN’T go up there and talk to everyone!

I nervously step forward and walk slowly up onto the little stage Twilight was standing on. Heart pounding, I said “H-hello M-Miss Twilight...” very nervously, I was in the presence of a PRINCESS.

Twilight moved away from the microphone. “Would you like to say something to everyone?” Twilight asked. “N-no thanks, I-I’m a little nervous...” I responded.

“It’s ok if you don’t want to, talking in front of crowds can be pretty hard at first.” Twilight said sympathetically, then went back to the mic.

“Just like the last two years, you will be getting your class schedule from Starlight” said Twilight pointing to a light purple mare with a big stack of paper.

“Anyways, that is all I have to say, please get to your classes as soon as you get your schedule.” Twilight said then moving away from the mic.

I turned away to start walking towards who I assumed was Starlight, but Twilight stopped me.

“WinterStream, I actually have your schedule, and I’m going to walk you to your first class.” Twilight said.

“O-ok” I said, then followed her down the hall, into the garden, and to a little building. When we got inside there were already other students there, including Gallus, a pony, a changling, a hippogriff, a dragon, and a yak. They were all talking with each other, the way close friends would.

“Here’s your schedule” Twilight said while a piece of paper surrounded by magic floated towards me. “T-thank you, h-have a nice day...” I stuttered at the princess.

“You too, just wait in class, Fluttershy should be here soon.” Twilight said then walking away.

I walked into the room. “H-hello?” I asked, but no one heard me, so I started walking towards one of the desks at the back. But suddenly, Gallus noticed me.

“Oh hey! WinterStream! Come meet my friends!” Said Gallus. “O-ok” I said and nervously walked over to the group and sat next to Gallus. Gallus looked over at the orange dragon. “Hey Smolder!” Gallus said.

“Ya?” Smolder said. “This is WinterStream” Gallus said to Smolder.

Smolder walked up to me. “Hey I’m Smolder, your a Kirin, right? Or was it Nirik?” Smolder asked.

“Oh, uh, I’m a Kirin, but when Kirin get mad we turn into Nirik’s.” I replied. “Cool, so, what do ya do for fun?” Smolder asked. “M-me? W-well, I like r-reading, a-and well t-there isn’t much else to d-do at home.” I stuttered.

Smolder was about to say something, but she was interrupted by a little blue changeling. “Oh, hello, I’m Ocellus, what’s your name?” She said.

“I-I’m WinterStream...” I said. “Nice to meet you! If you need any help with this class, just ask me, this is my favourite class.” She told me. “O-ok! Will do!” I told her.

I turned around, Gallus was talking to a green pony. “H-hello” I said. The green pony looked at me. “Oh, hey! I’m Sandbar!” He said cheerfully. “I-I’m WinterStream.” I said. “Cool, you’re friends with Gallus right?” He asked me. “Oh, uh, yeah, I guess, I m-mean, we just met, a-and I don’t r-really know if a-anyone here really l-likes me. I-I mean I don’t really h-have many friends b-back home...” I stuttered. Gallus looked at me. “Ya, we’re definitely friends.” That made me blush quite a bit. “T-thanks...”

A yellow pony walked in. “I am so sorry for being late, I had to take Angel to the vet. I hope you’re all ok with that, anyways, um, since it’s the first day, we won’t be doing any work, but instead we’ll be going into the garden with some of my animal friends.” She said, which everyone seemed happy about.

That’s when she saw me. “Oh, uh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were going to be in my first class of the day, we aren’t doing much today, just spending time with animals. I’m Fluttershy by the way.” She said to me.

“Ok!” I said. Fluttershy lead us too a door, it was at the back left side of the room, but the door that I came into the classroom from was at the front right side of the room.

When I walked out the door I saw a garden, with some animals there. There was two cats, a dog, a red bird, and a few squirrels and mice. I immediately walked to the up to the cat and started petting it.

Now that I was closer I saw that it was really small, a kitten. The kitten had one orange eye, and the other blue, and it’s fur was completely white.

“Miss Fluttershy?” I tried to get the teachers attention. “Yes WinterStream?” She replied. “Aren’t cats not supposed to have blue eyes?” I asked. “Yes, that is true for most species of cats, but Khao Manee cats, which are a very rare cat breed, most of the time have one blue eye, most commonly blue and orange, they always have two coloured eyes, the eyes could also be green or yellow. And their fur is most commonly white.” Fluttershy explained.

“Woah. T-that was a lot, d-do you think you could say that again when I have my n-notebook?” I asked. “Of course I can! My job is to teach you about animals and kindness.” She said. “Thanks Miss Fluttershy!” I said. “I’m just happy to help!” Fluttershy said.

For the most of class I played with the little Khao Manee, until Gallus came up to me. “Hey, class is almost over, want me to show you to your next class after this?” He asked me. “Oh, um, but, won’t you be late f-for class?” I asked nervously.

“Nah, I’m pretty quick.” He said. “O-ok.” I said. Then the bell rang.
