“Nope I don’t want want to be friends!” I said as I ran from the bathroom and put my head underneath the pillow.
Moments later I peeked out from under the pillow and Cozy Glow was just standing there in ghost like fashion. She flapped her wings and sat on the bed.
“I know you don’t want to be friends but why did you destroy my statue?” said Cozy Glow.
“Because I’m your relative and I get teased for it a lot.” I said.
“Relative?” said Cozy Glow “I don’t remember seeing you at any family gatherings.”
“That’s because I’m your cousin.” I said. “My family never got invited.”
“Oh,” Said Cozy Glow, “why weren’t you invited?”
“We didn’t agree with your family's viewpoint that’s why.” I said.
"Oh…" said Cozy Glow. "But now I'm dead because of it."
"I know," I said, "that was the whole point."
"Why kill me?" said Cozy Glow.
"Because I thought if you were gone, I wouldn't get teased anymore." I said.
Cozy Glow sighed and she was clearly angry with me. All this time I thought the statue was just a tribute to Princess Twilight's battle with Trek, Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. I didn't realize that those were actual ponies and creatures frozen in stone!
Cozy Glow then leaned over to me.
"What's your name?" said Cozy Glow.
"My name is Betty." I said.
"Well that's a weird name!" said Cozy Glow.
"I'm half Human and half Pegasus." I said.
"What's a Human?" said Cozy Glow.
I went to my backpack and pulled out a picture of my mom.
"See this?" I said. "That's my mom, and she's Human."
"Oh, Okay…" said Cozy Glow looking confused. "So now what do we do?"
"I don't know Cozy Glow…" I said. "I don't know…"

Mystic Diamond is my Best Friend. She was always there for me when I needed her. I don't know why I didn't turn to her before I made my suicide attempt.
Now, I did turn to her after I got out of the Hospital. I was in the Hospital for one straight month, under constant surveillance of course. After I got out of the Hospital I called Mystic Diamond.
"Hello." I said.
"Betty," said Mystic Diamond, "is that you?"
"Yes it's me." I said. "I know you tried to visit me in the Hospital, but they wouldn't let any visitors except for family members."
"Oh," said Mystic Diamond, "that's okay, I understand. So how are you feeling? It breaks my heart that you did what you did."
"I know," I said, "I don't know why I didn't turn to you in the first place."
"So why'd you do it?" said Mystic Diamond.
"I can't tell you that over the phone," I said, "can you come over?"
"Sure." said Mystic Diamond.
When I hung up the phone, I sighed. It was a sigh of relief.

Cozy Glow sat on my bed while I paced back and forth in my room.
"What to do? What to do?" I said to myself.
"Can't you tell some pony about me?" asked Cozy Glow.
"I'm getting to that Cozy Glow." I said.
Mom then poked her head into the room and smiled at me.
"Everything okay?" said mom.
"Yes," I said, "everything is fine. I'm just talking to myself before Mystic Diamond arrives."
"Oh good, she's coming over!" said mom. "I'll cook dinner tonight."
"Thanks mom!" I said.
Mom then left the room and closed the door.
"Why can't your mom see me?" said Cozy Glow.
"Well," I said, "I don't know."
'I hope Mystic Diamond can she her,' I thought, 'she has a knack for these things.'
"I hope Mystic Diamond can see me too." said Cozy Glow.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.
"A Ghost can read minds apparently…" said Cozy Glow.
There was a knock at the door and in came Mystic Diamond smiling at me. I flapped my wings and practically jumped over to her. I then gave Mystic Diamond a big hug.
"You feeling better?" asked Mystic Diamond.
Then Mystic Diamond paused and looked horrified.
"What?" I said.
"Who's that sitting on your bed?" said Mystic Diamond.
"Oh," I said, "that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Cozy Glow, meet Mystic Diamond. Mystic Diamond meet Cozy Glow."
* * *
"So Cozy Glow is a ghost now," said Mystic Diamond. "interesting…"
"Well she is dead." I said.
"Did you see this?" said Mystic Diamond.
Mystic Diamond then handed me a newspaper and as I read the article, my stomach dropped. The Article was about how some pony had destroyed just Cozy Glow's statue.
"What are we going to do?" I said to myself.
"Nothing just yet," said Mystic Diamond, "they don't know who destroyed the statue."
"I'm so sorry Cozy Glow," I said, "I was just so tired of being bullied and teased. I thought if I got rid of you, then no more bullying."
"That's called stupid reasoning." said Mystic Diamond.
"Dinner's ready!" called mom from downstairs.
So we went downstairs to eat dinner and figure out what to do next.

The next day at school I got bullied again by Marble Sprint. He would not let up all day and I snapped. We actually got into a fight and were sent to Head Mare Starlight Glimmer's office.
"Marble Sprint," said Starlight Glimmer. "I am sick and tired of this! That's it! You're off the Buck Ball team period!"
Head Mare Starlight Glimmer then turned me, she had a sad look on her face. There were tears in her eyes. She probably heard about my suicide attempt.
"I'm so sorry you got hurt by this." said Starlight Glimmer. "No punishment for you today. You've been through enough already."
"But why doesn't she get in trouble?" growled Marble Sprint. "She started the fight!"
"But you provoked it!" said Starlight Glimmer. "That's enough Marble Sprint! That is enough! You are dismissed!"
As we left the Head Mare's office Marble Sprint cornered me.
"I'll get you for this Betty!" growled Marble. "I get you, just you wait this will come back to bite you in the butt!"
With that Marble Sprint galloped away.
* * *
"Golly," said Cozy Glow. "I didn't realize how bad you had it."
We had finally gotten home that day and I had slammed books angrily on the bed.
"Yeah well," I said, "now you know. And now you know why I was determined to destroy that statue of yours. I didn't know it was real. I'm so sorry Cozy Glow."
"Oh it's okay I think." said Cozy Glow. "Being dead isn't so bad I think?"
Cozy Glow then smiled her evil smile.
"I have an idea on how to get back at him, Marble Sprint I mean." said Cozy Glow.
"What?" I said.
Then Cozy Glow told me of a plan that might get me expelled from the School of Friendship.
