The Dark Secrets of Sweetie Belle

by Huskyfan

Just a little cut...

One week later...

"Good morning, students! I hope you all have studied well, because we're gonna write the test now!" said Cherilee while she was handing out the tests.

Alright, Sweetie Belle! You can do this! You've studied so hard, but all that hard work is finally going to pay off!

But...what if I fail again? Rarity was so upset after I failed the last test. If I fail this test too, I ... NO! I can do this! I've studied and I will pass for sure. There is no way that I will fail...I hope...

My whole body was shaking when Cherilee handed me the test. What is this? Why can't I remember the answers? I studied so hard, and now this? What is wrong with me? Why can't I concentrate?

After fifteen minutes, we had to hand in the tests. I tried to concentrate, but I could only answer two questions out of ten.

Why can't I do just one thing right? I studied over a week for this test, and I still failed. I'm such a failure...

"Hey Sweetie Belle, are you okay?" asked my friend Scootaloo.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm just sad that I failed this test too."

"You failed again? Why did you fail?"

"I don't know, but I-"

"You know, you should probably have studied harder. This test was super easy."

Without saying a word, I got up from my chair and ran out of the classroom.

Even Scootaloo thinks I'm a failure...

I felt horrible, my stomach hurted and I felt dizzy.

Maybe I should get home, I am not feeling well. I hope that Miss Cherilee allows me to go home.

"Sweetie Belle, are you alright?" said Cherilee to me. She must have sneaked up behind me, because I didn't hear her walking towards me.

"No, I don't feel good. I feel dizzy and my stomach hurts. Can I please go home?"

"I'm sorry to hear that, of course you can go home. I hope you'll get well soon!"

"Alright, thanks Miss Cherilee!"

I hope Rarity doesn't ask about the test. I can't tell her that I failed again...

When I arrived at home, I quietly opened the front door to see my sister Rarity sitting in the living room. She was obviously confused.

"Sweetie Belle, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

"I wasn't feeling so well, so I asked Miss Cherilee if I could go home."

"Do you really feel ill or did you just wanted to skip the test?"

"I really feel ill and I already took the test, don't worry."

"And? How did it go?"

Oh no! What should I tell her? I can't tell her that I failed, she would flip out again.

"Well, it could be better, to be honest."

"It could be better? You studied the whole week, didn't you?"

"Yes, but-"

"I'm really disappointed of you. You better hope that you won't fail."

"I-I'm not sure, I hope it'll be alright..."

"You're not even sure if you will pass?"

Rarity had a look of disappointment and anger on her face, which made me shiver in fear and sadness. I couldn't bring out any answer to her question, but instead I only let out a silent sob.

"Stop crying, you are not a little filly anymore! Now go to your room and study! You're grounded for two weeks!"

I didn't say anything and just ran into my room, and locked the door.

Why is Rarity so mean to me? Why do I mess up all the time? Can't I do just one thing right?

I spent the rest of the day wtih crying and sobbing in my room, thinking what to do about the sadness.

What do other ponies do, when they're sad? I've heard that some ponies go to a therapist about it, but Rarity would probably just say that I'm overreacting again. But...it could be worth a try...I'll just ask her if she can take me to a doctor. She can't refuse to take me to a doctor when I'm not feeling well, right?

I got up from my bed and slowly walked out of my room. Rarity was reading a book, when she saw me walking towards her.

"Sweetie Belle, why aren't you studying? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't feel so well. Can you please take me to a doctor?"

"What's wrong? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"Yes, but I want to go to the doctor because I have another problem."

"And that is?"

"Well...I'm very sad...can you please take me to the doctor?"

Tears were coming up again, but Rarity just shook her head.

"Don't be silly, Sweetie Belle! You're perfectly fine! Now go to your room and study some more!"

I didn't want to argue with her again, so I just turned around and walked to my room again and locked the door.

Rarity will never understand me...nopony can understand me...I'm just a failure...and failures need to be punished!

Without hesitating, I grabbed a pair of scissors from the table with my horn and held it in front of my left foreleg.

I need...to be...punished!

Before I could even realise what was going on, the blade already left a scratch on my foreleg.

What have I done? And why did it feel good? It ain't normal for a pony to enjoy something like that, right?

I closed my eyes as I brought the scissors to my foreleg again. I pressed the blade a little harder this time and slowly led the blade cut through the skin. I let out a sigh of relief and put the scissors back on the table.

Okay, I had enough. But...it did feel good, I don't know why. I hope that Rarity won't notice these scars though...

Now, let's get some studying done!

I took out a book from my saddlebag, when I heard a knock on the door.

"Sweetie Belle, I'm going to buy some groceries, I'll be back in half an hour. Do you need anything?"

"No, I don't need anything. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Sweetie Belle!"

A few seconds later, I heard the front door getting shut.

I'm all alone now...maybe I could...no! This isn't good for me! But...why does it feel so good?

I just need a little cut...

Why is Rarity so mean?!!

[IvanTheRifleman]

It's a good story and all but I'm going to be honest here.
You're rushing this a little bit and Rarity would never act this way towards Sweetie Belle + the grammar in here is a little bad and you space too many sentences.

You really do need a pre-reader for this and fix the personality of Rarity, otherwise this is pretty damn good and it'll hold my thumbs up

She has masochism she relieves emotional pain through physical pain.
