Hi!
This is not a loan.
Depends on how much of a nitpicker you are you do:
Assets:Schoolfund>Assets:Car Fund and then Assets:Car Fund>Assets:Car
or simply
Assets:Schoolfund>Assets:Car
Then put a yellow Post-It on your computer screen, saying:
"Put the schoolfund money back asap, or either...!"
More seriously, cause you most probably do not pay interest to yourself, 
its easiest to make monthly flat-amount scheduled transactions for 
returning the money.
