God damn school sucked I hated it from the beginning and when kindergarten started and me and my brother walked into the bright red building for registration I knew something was up. I only put up with it for one reason and only that one reason, I'll tell you it later. My dad took a hoof and led me up to the schoolhouse( my mother took my brothers hand.) that's where I saw him. My crush the one pony I'll only ever love and that was true. His name was Blur Light, he was a dark navy blue pegasus, with yellow hair and a streak of neon yellow running through it.
That was it. I knew school was going to be boring, dull, and predictable. And since I wasn't the most normal of ponies it was going to be harder for me seeing how my brother could keep his month close and not burp and he's fine. I on the other hoof have to deal with ponies glaring at my wings and gasping at the sparks that fly out if my mouth when I burp, which is constantly.
When school did start, or hell as I like to call it. I was instendly was taken aback that my crush was sitting right next to me and he would, for the rest of the year. Playing it cool I walk up to him and said hi.
" Hello." He looked up at me and smiled.
I looked at him and took in some of his features. His eyes where hurt with pain and his hind legs and hooves where cover in scratch marks. So was his cheek and part if his left ear was ripped off. I looked at him with a pitiful look and snooped through my school bag looking for something my auntie Twilight had given me. It was a little bottle of pearl white luqid and even though it was small it had healing properties thy could equal phoniex tears. Dabbing the luqid on a rag cloth I hadi reached down to his legs and wiped them with the stuff.
He didnt take notice until I reached up to his cheek." What are you doing!" He cried.
I stared at him blank face." Look at your legs." I indicated to the strongly built legs and he looked down at them gaping at the sight of perfectly healed legs.
" How- how...?" He sputtered.
" It's this." I held up the bottle." It has healing properties of a phoniex's tears. And I'm not normal." I pulled at my semi-sharp teeth, opened my wings, and stuffed the bottle in my bag finally taking a seat beside him.
He just stared at me trying very hard to not "complement" my unique features. It went on like this for a few years up until 3rd grade when we finally became real friends.

It all happened when I got a hairpin from my father, going to school te next day I showed off my hairpin to every pony. Even though it was only a blue clip with a green and red gem craved into it ponies still loved it.
This went on for a few days until a gang of about 4 ponies ganged up on me and chased me around the very small playground screaming at me for my hairpin. They finally chased me into the soccer field where one of them tackled me to the ground and pinned me down, holding my hooves hostage they beat me trying to take the hairpin out of my hair. I squirmed and squeaked calling out for help, I breathed my flames on them but It didnt take much effect. The last thing I could do was lay there and wait for it to be over." Stop it!" Someone cried.
Thinking it was in my head I closed my eyes waiting for more punches, more kicks, more hurt. But it didnt come instead the weights lifted from my wrist and light flooded my closed eyelids. I slowly opened them and looked at the sight of Blur Light standing over me." Are you ok?" He asked. I blushed softly and he helped my up. My left wrist felt wrong and I was covered in scrapes and bruises, the worst one being a gaint gash on my left hind leg. " Do you need the nurse?" he asked helping me steady myself.
I nodded my head no." I have the luqid remember.?"
" Will you need help applying it?"
I blushed harder and nodded my head, I stammered to the school house with him helping me, holding a hoof around my neck incase I fell." Thank you." I said resting my head against his neck.
" No prob we're friends right?" At this I smiled at the thought of being friends with the one pony I loved.
" Course!" I cried lifting my head only to be greeted with a wincing pain in my neck." Ow!" I cried. Blur Light looked at me and smiled.
" You ok?"
" Yes just a little bump." He nodded and we headed up the stairs inside the school house. He went through my bookbag searching for the bottle and found it. Using an old napkin he dabbed the luqid ontoy cuts and it immediately felt better.
" Did they do anything to your wings?" He asked.
I scoffed." I doubt that, dragon wings are really strong it would take a dragon's teeth or claws to even rip the wing. Since teeth and claws are like steel times 100 the least those idiots could do to my wings is punch them." I sighed thinking of my wings. A burden or a curse but they had there purposes.
" That's neat, I only have these limply pegasus wings but ok." I managed a chuckle through the pain and smiled looking at him.
" Friends?" I asked extending a hoof.
He took it into his and shook it." Friends."
------------
So much had changed after that I had someone to speak to, to talk about stuff I only think in my head, to tell him my mind is a dead bolted door that only a jackhammer could open. I could finally sit with some pony at lunch, I wasn't alone and he wasnt going to leave me anytime soon. Nothing changed a lot that is. His hair grew longer in 4th grade which made I'm look even more cute and more and more fillies started to notice him. Course I was jealous! He was mine did they pay attention to him on kindergarten? No.
I never showed it and I never needed to. He always through away love letters and rejected any complement unless it was from me. Like when I told him the new hat he got was amazing. If any other pony said that he would have ignored it. I felt bursting into joy when I found out he had a crush on me and I never said anything until around the middle of sixth grade when we where talking about love.
" Is it true you like me?" I asked taking a bite into my apple then sprinkling ruby powder into my mouth.
" Maybe in 4th and 5th grade yeah but now I like someone else." My heart shattered at the words and tears formed in my eyes making them look as glossy as a china doll's.
" Ok." I poured the rest of the powder I my mouth, stood up and walked away to the ladies bathroom where I could think. Walking into the tiled room I looked around and picked on empty stall on the end of the row of the five stalls. I pushed open the gray door and sat on the toilet holding my arms I softly cried into them, not making any sound or doing anything just crying. I wanted to go home and talk to my mom about guy troubles and how she would understand, for once my father couldn't help me. I needed my mom.
Hearing hoof steps I stop crying and stare at the door listening to the voice." Golden you in here Blur wants you!" Somepony said. Probably one of his fans. I didn't say anything, I didn't move I didn't speak, I sat there completely still not doing anything. The voice sighed and the hoof steps faded away, as I went back to crying softly. Checking my watch a few minutes later I realize they would dismiss us in a minute so I gathered my self up and with ever ounce of courage that I had I step outside the bathroom and walked to my next class witout bumping into Blur.

That lunch wasn't so great it was probably a sucky lunch but he made it up to me in the middle of 7th grade when he asked if I wanted to get icecream. I replied with an excited yes and he room me to get icecream after school." Remeber the linch we had a year ago?" He asked. I felt a jab in my heart but I nodded. " Well... I wanted to make up for it but I didn't know how and since you ignored me for a few months an we never became friends again until the summer it had slipped my mind. So I'm making up for it and I hope you can forgive me." He opened the door for the icecream palor for me and I slipped in.
I honestly don't remember what I got but involved a lot of strawberry and cotton candy, with a massive amount of fudge syrup and fifteen cherries and Oreos to top it off. He got a two scoop chocolate with a cherry and compared to mine it was pathetic." Thank you." I kissed him on the cheek turning him bright red.
" Nothing to it." He said taking his icecream outside where we sat at a table licking our cream. I felt like I was five years old licking my icecream and making a mess of myself while others looked at me in disguise.
" You have something on your face." He roomed me while I licked some cotton candy icecream. Raising a hoof to my face I felt sticky gooey stuff come in contact with it.
" I guess-" I was cut off as he pressed his lips to mine and licked the icecream off my lips. I sat there staring wided eyed at him trying so hard to smile or do something's. Feeling exploded out if me and I scooted closer to him until I could rest my face into his neck.
