Its not that I hate life in general, I just hate MY life. School has NEVER been easy. I was a complete shut in during Elementary school, and since I didnt have a cutie mark throughout middle school, I was never taken seriously and was always being made fun of. Now I'm going into highschool and well, the only thing I can count on is that it will get worse, so this time, im not taking any chances. If some one sees the flank of alicorn without a cutie mark.... no that won't happen. No will know that I'm a blank flank OR an alicorn. My saddle bag will make sure of that. I covers my wings and it goes far back enough to cover my flank so I look like a regular everyday unicorn. The only problem? Now I have to walk to school.
Uuuugh its so tiring! How do ground ponies do this? I mean like yeah I live like a five minute walk from the school but still! I have to climb this huge hill and... whatever. It'll all be worth it when I make some actual friends.
I walk into school and head to my first class. On my way past the office I'm stopped by my cousin, Gol Blitz. He's an earth pony with a red mane and a beige coat, and his cutie mark is a smiling soccerball face. He asked me to tranlsate for him in trying to find what bus he was supposed to take since his parents dropped him off today but he needs to ride a bus. Hes a foreign student from a spanish speaking country, and I know both languages like its nobodys business. (Actually, that was one of the things I tried to get a cutie mark for, it didnt work) Eventually we figure out that he's supposed to go to the library for that kind of issue and while he was in line I started walking away.
"Me vas a dejar aqui!?"(your gonna leave me here?!) He asks
"Voy a estar tarde!"(I'm gonna be late!) I answer, and leave.
I find the room where my first class is and sit down next to another cousin of mine, a unicorn named Data sport. She had a lavender coat and a blue mane. Her cutie mark was a pair of glasses with a field hockey ball.
"Your covering your flank? Come on. It's not that big of a deal." She said, after seeing my saddlebag
"Yeah, it is. Im a blank flank Alicorn in HIGH SCHOOL! I'm pathetic." I wispered so no one could hear.
She sighed in exasperation, knowing it was no use to argue. I was stubborn as a mule.
That class ended after more than an hour and a half, and I headed to my next one, theatre. It was fun and ended too quick in my opinion. It thought, maybe I could get a cutie mark here. Huh. I'd never tried acting before. But then again, everyone said that theres a feeling deep inside that just feels right, and I didnt really feel anything. Oh well. Why did I even expect anything to actually happen?
I had lunch next with two of my other cousins, cyber scene and soccerology. I never bought lunch, I packed it. I went to sit down next to them when I saw that sitting at the same table the were at was a colt I knew from elementry school, joystick. His cutie mark was a gaming console, and he was a unicorn with a dark blue and silver mane and a less dark blue coat, and glasses. He looked up from his phone at me as I sat down and said in a calm voice,
"So how have the last three years been?"
"Heh, so you remember me?" I replied, a bit relieved
"Yeh"
"Cool"
That ended that. I had a conversation with him about hobbies we'd developed over the years, and then I went on to have a conversation with my cousins abot covering my flank, which joystick smiled at. He knew about that problem, but stuff like my blank flankness didnt bother him. He was cool like that.
After lunch, I went on to my next class, which I didnt care much for, but I still did the work. The class after that was quick, easy, and quiet. After it ended I started on my way home since that was my last class. On my walk home, I noticed an... Alicorn? She was levitating a book in front of her, but she was about to fly right into a post!
"Hey, watch out!" I called to her, and she stopped mid fly and looked up. When she saw th e post she scrambled back and floated to the ground. She turned around.
"Uh, thanks.. whats your name?" She asked.
"Uh.." the question caught me off guard. "Hydro shine."
"Right. Thanks. Say, aren't you in my Government class?"
"Huh? Um, yeah I think so, you sit in front of me right?"
"Yeah." She noticed my bag. "Why do you cover your flank? Do you not have a cutie mark?"
"I, uh...." I started panicking. How did she know?
"Hey, it's cool. I don't have one either, see?" She turns on her side and shows my that she really doesn't have a cutie mark!
"I thought I was the only...."
"Alicorn without a cutiemark? Nope. Theres some. Like me. I doesnt really matter though, if your a good pony."
I couldnt believe it. Theres was another blank flank unicorn my age! That was amazing!
"Oh, hey, whats your name by the way? I never asked." I said
"Hm? Oh, my names Omega Ice. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Omega. Hey, what was that book you were reading? I think I've seen it before."
"Its called The Lost Hero, by Rick Riordan."
"Oh, I've read it!"
"Have you read the next one?"
"Uh, no actually, theres more?"
The conversation took off from there. We talked about upcoming books and series, and got to know each other dome more. She was a funny philly, with a dark blue coat, and a brown and red mane. We kept walking, and I'm pretty sure I passed my house, but I didnt care. I finally had a real friend. We got to her place and said "see ya tommorow!". I ran back to my place, barged through the door and stright into my room.
My mother walked in.
"What is wrong with you!?" she asked
"EVERYTHING!?" I said, and felt like flying! And so I did! I zoomed right out the window!
This was officialy the BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
