Cutie marks are the highlight of your fillyhood unless of course there is the absence of one no matter what you attempt. Blank flank, as they call it. This my love, is where the story begins. A blank flank in school.
"There he is!" an unknown filly announced.
"Blank flank! Blank flank!" a chorus of fillies sang to follow up.
'Just ignore them.' I tell myself. 'If they think it doesn't bother me then they will leave me alone.' Suddenly I was hovering above the ground and a hoof was pressed into my throat pinning me to the wall.
"Blank flanks are not welcome here." announced my executioner. My air was ascaping quickly and soon the deed would be done.
Wham! Blood trickled from my foes mouth and onto my hoof. The ground embraced me while I recovered from what had occured.
"What's going on in here?" the teacher trotted in.
"Sombra hit Tay!" a chorus united to blame me.
"Sombra, outside now." spoke the teacher.
Slowly I trudged outside hearing comments behind me of disapproval and revenge aimed at me. The sun attacked upon my exit of the school house. Its rays digging into my dark coat like blades.
"What happened?"
"Tay choked me against the wall. The only way to get her off was to punch her, so I did."
"Hmm... you stay here I will be back in a minute." and off went the teacher into the school.
I waited for a few minutes and she came forth from within the school. "Well most of the other students claim that you hit her for no reason."
"What! It was self defense!"
"Regardless, fighting will not be tolerated here. Your mother will come soon to pick you up."
I didn't know what to say. My first fight had happened. Now I am being sent home. I won't learn today's lesson but I will get an escape from all the other fillies. Good? Bad? I don't know. My mom arrived soon and teleported me home. This reminded me that I was the only unicorn who could not use magic out of my entire class. Surprisingly, mother never said anything about what had happened. She only glared at me in disgust. She left to take care of some eerands leaving me alone and confused.
"What did I do?" I begged for an answer. The only answer that came was a simple yawn. I was tired, very tired. I don't recall how long I was awake after that yawn or even where i fell asleep. I only remember the dream.
The classroom appeared before me complete with students and the teacher. Uncomfortably I slunk along the back wall to my seat beside my only friend.
"So what do you think we are learning today?" he spoke.
"Probably something else about regular ponies." I replied.
"Yeah, I still don't beleive not all ponies are crystal. Maybe one day I will prove them wrong or if they are real I will record their magic ways in a journal."
"I'm sure you will Starswirl, I'm sure you will."
