I had to wait for a bus to go to school. The bus, after 5 minutes of waiting, finally came to a halt in front of me. I walked onto the bus, after the bus driver opened the door. I found a good spot, in the back of the bus. It had no one in it, which was perfect.
Well, at least I can't be bothered there… I thought to myself, before walking over to the seat in the back.
I sat down, and the bus started to move once again. I tried my hardest to get my mind off Derpy, but I just couldn't stop thinking about her. I started to sweat a little. I just don't know how I will be able to take care of Derpy, while still paying for power bills, water bills, and buying food for me and her. Then the unwanted happened.
"Hey, are you alright?" Some kid in all black asked me.
I stared at him, shocked. He was wearing all black, with 2 light coats on. He had no one else next to him.
"Uhhh… Yeah, I'm fine…" I told the man in black.
He stared at me in face, almost like he was looking into my soul. He laughed.
"Oh my sweet lord!" He instantly stopped laughing and gave me a friendly punch. "Bro, there's something wrong with you, I know it. Now come on, tell me."
I sighed. "Okay, fine. You really want to know?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I do" The boy said, in a different voice than last time.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" I asked him, in a quiet voice.
"Don't you mean anypony? I would expect you to say that." He said rather loud.
My eyes widened. He knows…
"Whoa, what's wrong with you?" He asked me, tilting his head to the right.
"Y-Y-you…" I stuttered. "You know about me liking my little pony…" I told him, ever so quietly.
He laughed again. This time, however, he couldn't stop himself.
"Before I tell you something that you will flip out about, tell me about what was making you so worried a while back." The bully said, after he stopped laughing.
"Well uhh… Well you see…" I tried to say, but couldn't spit it out. "Look, I found a Pegasus Pony, from the show My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, her name is Derpy Whooves." I finally spit out.
The bully stopped all signs of life in his body. I started to wonder what was going on with him, but as soon as I was about to shake him, but then he started to speak.
"That's odd… I had that same thing happen to me, except I have Rainbow dash. Hey, can I come over to your house to night?" He asked me.
I shook my head no. "Sorry…" I answered "But can I just stay at your place? I don't have a family there anyways, they left me there alone when I got home with Derpy." I asked him.
"Okay… Sure, hopefully my mom will let me have you stay at our house." The newly befriended boy told me.
"Well it was nice meeting you, so will you be picked up?" I asked him.
"Nope, I'll wait for you by the buses," The buses pulled into the school property and began to head over to where they parked to let the kids off the bus. "I'll be waiting over there." He pointed to a door way.
"Okay, and by the way, my names Dan." I told the boy.
"Oh so now were learning names are we? Okay, my names Raymond. Raymond Wachob." Raymond said while we got off the bus and headed into the school. "I'll see you after school!" Raymond then ran off, in a blink of an eye, I couldn't see him anymore.
Maybe things aren't as bad here as I thought… I thought to myself, going into class. I put away my crap in my locker, and sat at my desk.
It was time to go to lunch, so I stepped in line where we are supposed to go. We have to be in line in a certain order. I was at the end, of course.
I got my food and looked around the lunch room for somewhere to sit. I found Raymond, sitting next to some other people talking, and laughing his head off. I didn't get my hopes up that he would have a spot for me to sit next to him, but he did. I walked over to him.
"Hey, kid, get lost! We don't need a loser like you here ruining our lunch!" Some guy said to me when I was about to sit down.
Raymond looked over to me, and acted fast.
"Hey, take it easy bro. Everyone, this is Dan. We met on the bus and he's going to be living with me at my house." Raymond said while I sat down next to him.
"Why is he going to be living with you? Do his parents not love him enough?" Some other person asked Raymond.
I looked down. I felt like crying after what that person just said. Raymond saw me and patted my back.
"…As you can tell, that's a yes… Thanks a lot you trucker." Raymond almost yelled at the person I didn't know.
I looked up, after holding myself together. I didn't start crying which I'm happy about. Raymond said he was sorry about that one guy and said he kicked him out of the group. I talked to him for a bit, and then talked to the rest of the group. I never got their names, which I really should have.
We got to recess and I guess Raymond has nothing to do, or he just wants to know more about Derpy, but he asked me to go over to the swings with him. I did, and we talked about the situation. Neither of us knows how or why we both have a pony.
"Well when I first saw Rainbow dash, I thought 'Oh yeah! Ray Ray is going to have some fun tonight!' But when I looked at her more, I realized that would be wrong. So, I'm just taking care of her as if she was my own." Raymond told me.
"I'm not even going to ask what you meant by 'have some fun tonight'…" I said, hitting my palm on my face. "Why are you so different from everyone else? Why did you actually talk to me?" I questioned Raymond.
"First question you asked me is because I have ADHD. I forgot what the letters mean in it. Second of all, I don't leave any lonely kid out." He answered.
We talked for a little bit longer, and I could tell Raymond was getting bored, so I said 'I would like to be able to do something else, so go away please'. When I said this, he went over to playing 4 square, and I went over to the swings lowest to the ground, and started to swing.
It didn't last long though, because two other kids I've never met before, and some kid that I knew was all talk and no play came up to me.
"Hey you!" one of the 3 called out to me. "Aren't you that kid who lost his parents because they didn't love you?" The kid who was talk and no play said. (We will call him Gilbert.)
"Yeah… What do you want?" I asked them quietly, jumping off the swing.
They started laughing. "Holy shit dude! Your life must suck! I have a much better life than yo-." Gilbert was cut off short because I started choking him.
I gripped his throat tighter after 3 seconds, causing him to start trying to pull my hands off of his throat.
The 2 others stared at me, with horror in their eyes. I was about to kill this son of a botch, but then Raymond saw me, and he punched me right in the kisser. (Meaning the head.)
Gilbert started to breath heavily, I let go of him, because I lost all control over my body, and I blacked out.
"Holy crap… What just happened?" Gilbert asked Raymond, after he caught his breath.
Surprisingly, nobody saw me try to kill Gilbert, Which is good.
Raymond turned to Gilbert and the 2 other guys. "I just saved this guy's life, and unless you want me to take it away, along with the 2 of your lives, I would suggest keeping your mouth SHUT!" Raymond yelled at the three.
All they could do was nod. Raymond then smiled.
"Good! Now you can go!" Raymond told them and turned around and walked off. Then turning around realizing he forgot to pick me up. As soon as he picked me up, the school bell rang, meaning recess is over.
No one said a word about Raymond holding someone up on his shoulder, because this person they did not care about.
