//------------------------------// // Cinch: Frustration and Fury // Story: Contest of Rivals // by Moon-Lite //------------------------------// Cinch: Frustration and Fury       Those imbeciles! How could they embarrass Crystal Prep Academy like that? How could they embarrass her like that!? Cinch was fuming as she stalked down the halls of Canterlot High School, slowly making her way to the field that had been renovated for the Tri-Cross Relay. Cadence was ahead of her, talking to Principal Celestia and  Vice Principal Luna, whispering something about how to deal with the attitudes of the students at CHS. Something about them being like this ever since ‘that’ happened, whatever they meant by that.       The conversation continued as they exited the school, the four judges heading off to the side as the students filed out, shocked by what stood before them. Pathetic was her only way to describe how the students were acting, the teens gawking in awe at the field before them. Instead of wasting her time with them she made her way over to the other three women, their backs turned to her.       She overheard the three of them talking about something, anonymous? What were they discussing? Oh, apparently the students were all bitter with one another because of this Anonymous thing. Something about personal secrets being shared online? Why did that matter? Maybe the faculty should be more strict about what they allow to be accessed on the school network.       Her ears perked at what she heard next. Some students were still blaming Sunset Shimmer, even though she had been proven innocent. So that was the actual reason Sunset transferred to Crystal Prep Academy, to avoid being assaulted by students. It was already a nice screw to turn, Sunset transferring to Crystal Prep, but to hear that there was still resentment was just icing on the cake.       Now Cadence was talking about how well Sunset was doing at Crystal Prep, how she was making some good friends. Cinch grimaced, more talk about that infection. Why did it matter so much to these plebeians? She remembered two girls in the past promising they were all friends, only to throw her to the sharks when everything went wrong.       Why did she have to deal with all this? Students were meant to study, to prepare for their lives of contributing to society, why did they need friends? If they were unable to handle something as simple as school work on their own, what good would they be in the rest of life?       Cadence started talking again about what to do to fix the attitudes of the students. Would she ever shut up? Her annoying babbling and preaching was grating at the best of times, and she was solely responsible for the current slide of quality from the students. Always coddling them and telling them everything will be fine, bah.       She heard Celestia and Luna ask about her, if she was still being mistreated. How dare they! She had half a mind to confront them, only to have Cadence say something about Cinch being no different than normal. That little, sniveling- That was it! They had mentioned some students that were… aggressive. She shall seek them out and see if they were inclined to accept her… employment.
