Sour Sweet woke up on her bare floor and sighed heavily. "Here we go again with another day." She said.
Okay, I know yesterday was rough, but today couldn't possibly- Sour Side was cut off.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence, Sour Side. I swear to god." Sour Sweet said, gritting her teeth.
Fine. I get it. Don't tempt fate. Thought Sour Side.
"Thank you. Now then, let's move on." Sour Sweet said as she got dressed. "Ready to take on the day?" She asked.
As I'll ever be. Thought Sour Side.
"Then let's get this over with." Said Sour Sweet.
---------------------------------------------
Sour Sweet arrived at Crystal Prep and decided to roam the halls since she had plenty of free time. She'd been here for quite some time, but there were halls she was unfamiliar with. It was a nice change of pace to see something she hadn't before. She thought she heard voices off in the distance. "Please tell me there aren't any extra personalities in there with you, Sour Side..." Sour Sweet said.
Nope. Thought Sour Side. Just me, and me alone. So to speak.
Sour Sweet released a breath she didn't realize she was holding. She came closer, and could make out the voices.
"Twilight...you don't have to-" Said a familiar voice before it was cut off.
"I'm going to fucking tell you, Lemon Zest! I've gone too damn far for nothing, do you hear me?!" shouted Twilight.
Sour Sweet's eyes widened. She had never heard Twilight Sparkle shout before, let alone swear. She never seemed the type to do so.
"Okay...I understand." Said Lemon Zest.
Sour Sweet decided not look through the window, lest she be discovered. Whatever was about to happen sounded grave. Why are they even in there? Thought Sour Sweet.
"I'm going to need this." Twilight said. "I feel so terrible, divulging people's secrets like this, but if it helps you defend yourself, I'll do it. No matter how painful it may be."
Sour Sweet gasped and put a hand to her mouth. Oh, god. What's going to happen in there? Should I stay? Should I intervene? She nearly jumped out of her skin when Twilight shrieked. Sour Sweet risked a peek inside and saw Twilight and Lemon Zest holding hands. They were too preoccupied with each other to notice her, but she immediately ducked away just to be sure.
Twilight's relinquishing of secrets and screaming had caused Sour Sweet to freeze in place. She told her body to move, then commanded it to move. As the screaming in the room continued, Sour Sweet stopped commanding her body and went straight to begging. "I don't want to hear any more...I just want to move." Sour Sweet whispered.
Feeling the dedication and kinship between Twilight and Lemon reminded her of the friendship she broke off with Lemon the day before. Tears started to stream down her cheeks. Why did Lemon have to tell Twilight? Yes, she apologized...but why did it hurt so much? Sour Sweet was brought out of her thoughts by Lemon's voice.
"Twilight...are you sure of all of those things?" Lemon Zest said in a tone of awe.
Yes..." Twilight said. "I had to double and even triple check...but yes. There's no doubt about any of them." She sounded as though she wasn't quite finished crying.
"Twilight...I don't know what to say..." said Lemon.
"Lemon...before we leave this room, I want to make something abundantly clear." said Twilight.
"Yes?" said Lemon.
"This will be between you and me, and we will both carry this to our graves if we can help it." said Twilight.
"I agree." Lemon said. "I can't believe you went to all that trouble just for me..."
"Hey." said Twilight, her voice quavering. "What are friends for?"
That had been the straw that broke the camel's back. Sour Sweet finally found the will to get up and leave. She ran through the halls, not caring if she ran into someone. She just had to get away! Unable to contain her emotions, she let a sniffle slip through, then a sob. By the time she was running at full speed, she had broken. Before she knew it, she bumped into someone.
She looked up and saw Sunny Flare. In the amount of time it took for Sunny to blink, a tidal wave of emotions swept through Sour Sweet. Initially, she was sad. Then sadness gave way to embarrassment. Embarrassment gave way to anger, and she lashed out. "I don't want to hear a goddamn word out of your mouth or so help me I'll turn your entire fucking skin black and red to go along with your shade of blue!" she shouted, then continued to run off. The warning bell for first period had rang, and she stopped in her tracks. She took a deep breath, then exhaled, finally regaining control of herself. She sighed heavily as she entered her first period class.
