This wasn't the girls' first day of school, turns out that they went while I was with Twilight. I talked with them until the teacher came in.
"Alright class, sit down. We have a new student! Every pony say hi to FeatherDash!" The room was silent.
"Why dont you Come up and tell us a little about you."
My eyes shot wide open. I couldn't go up in front of every pony! I shrank back in my seat, not wanting to be noticed. The teacher walked over To me, "Is something wrong?" I spotted the girls trying to motion to her to stop. She backed off and began the lesson for today. She taught us some simple math, then, once she was done, she let us out for lunch and recess.
Every pony else ran towards the door, and I was last to leave. Well, almost leave at least. I was a few feet from the door when I was called back.
"Feather, come here please." I had learned her name a while ago; was her name.
"Yes ?"
"See that map over in the corner?" She pointed, and sure enough, there was a map of Equestria. It was covered in about two dozen pins with paper attached to them. On each paper, there was a name.
"I like to know where every pony is from! Could you go put this up, please?" She set the pin on the desk in front of me. I stared at it, and I hesitantly responded.
"I can't."
"Why not?" She said in surprise.
"Because I don't know. I was adopted." I said quietly.
She apologized about ten times, then asked one more question.
"We all put our latest accomplishments on the board next to the map. Would you like to?" I hadn't noticed the chalkboard next to the map. I'm clueless. I nodded and told her what my latest accomplishment was.
"I earned a scholarship to Wonderbolts Academy for when I'm older!" She wrote it on a piece of paper and taped it up.
"Alright, go join every pony else outside." She said. I grabbed my bag, turned, and walked outside.
I looked around, but couldn't find the girls anywhere, so I went and found a shady spot under a tree. I sat down and started eating my lunch by myself. I was interrupted when two fillies came over to me.
"Hey Silver Spoon, we have a new BLANK FLANK!" She started laughing as the silver filly next to her nodded and did the same.
"Not only that, but did you hear what he said to ? He has no real family, just a pony who was kind enough to pick him up off the street!" The two fillies started laughing hysterically. I couldn't run away, because they had me cornered. I lowered my head as tears began streaking down my face. I sat there and took round after round of verbal abuse from them. I couldn't do anything. I heard a loud thump as somepony stood between me and the fillies.
"Stop it! He didn't do anything to you! He was sitting here, minding his own business! Just because somepony is shy, doesn't mean you get to take advantage of it!" The mysterious pony said. I was still staring at the ground. My face was wet with tears.
"Who made YOU the boss of me?" The pink filly asked.
"I don't need to be the boss Diamond Tiara! nopony deserves to be treated like this!"
"Whatever, lets go Silver Spoon." She started leaving and Silver Spoon followed. I opened my eyes, still looking down. I watched my fallen tears as they ran down blades of grass.
"Are you alright?" I heard the pony say. I was still crying as I looked up into the face of the stranger. He sat down next to me and started to talk to me.
"I'm Star Spike. What's your name again?"
I got scared and responded barely audibly.
"I'm Feather..."
"Are you new? I've never seen you in Ponyville before."
"Uh, no. Thanks for helping me."
He smirked and stood up. I felt a warm feeling around my face, and I reached up to find my tears were dry.
"Come with me, I know somepony I'd like you to meet. She's shy, too."
We walked over to the corner of the schoolhouse, and he told me to stay here. He walked around the corner and started talking to somepony.
"Is he alright?" The voice asked. It was a soft, filly voice.
"He's fine. I brought him over here, because he's a lot like you and I think you guys can be great friends." I heard star tell the filly.
"What?! No, I can't meet new people! You remember what happened last time!"
"Yeah, but he's really upset and I thought you could help him."
"Fine! But I'm staying here."
"Alright."
Star came back around the corner.
"C'mon"
I followed him and he sat me down right in front of a cardboard box. Where is this filly? I thought to myself. A flap of the box started to open, revealing the filly inside
