//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Interrogating The Ex-Boyfriend // Story: The Party Girl That Needs Your Love // by Jordanwolfboy //------------------------------// The weekend had passed with everyone going back to school with the usual looks of disappointment whenever their fun time was over. For you though, you were the only one thankful for this, because this was the chance to find Pinkies ex-boyfriend Golden Shine and demand him to tell you why he broke up with her. You looked all over the school during the first passing period to see if he was anywhere, but you weren't able to find him. As you were looking around, you ran into Zephyr Breeze who you really didn't want to see right now. "Anon, there you are! I've been looking all over for you! So, have you changed your mind about helping me?" He asked in his usual hipster tone of voice. You tried to hold in your annoyance to this by speaking politely to him. "Look Zephyr, I'm really not in the mood for your constant begging right now. I'm trying to look for someone and I can't do that I'm while talking to you. So could you please leave me alone for now?" You asked while maintaining your polite façade. He wouldn't listen though as he continued. "But Anon, I seriously need your help here! Rainbow Dash is almost mine, I can feel it, I just need the right kind of advice so I ca-" He couldn't finish his sentence as you had cut him off. "ZEPHYR BREEZE, I AM REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD TO PUT UP WITH YOU RIGHT NOW! I'M ALREADY GOING THROUGH ENOUGH AS IT IS WITHOUT YOU COMING UP TO ME WITH YOUR CREEPY AND PATHETIC FANTASIES ABOUT RAINBOW DASH! SO JUST SHUT UP FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" You screamed at him from the top of your lungs. He stood there with a shocked look while he had backed up a bit. You were heaving and panting while staring at him with angry eyes. He stares at you for a few more seconds before finally speaking. "Well . . . okay then. I can see that you're really upset. So, I'll just be on my way then." He said before slowly walking away while feeling a little bit upset. You realized what you had just done and starting feeling guilty. You just took your anger and frustration out on one of your friends. Sure he was obnoxious at times, but he didn't deserve that kind of treatment. You quickly called out to him before he got out of earshot. "Zephyr wait!" He turned around while you walked up to him. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just . . . it's just that I'm dealing with a lot right now. My best friend is heartbroken and upset, me and my other friends tried all that we could to help cheer her up which resulted in almost nothing happening, and now I'm trying to find her ex-boyfriend but I can't find him anywhere. Things have been so rough lately and I took it all out on you. I'm really sorry." You said while looking down with tears in your eyes. You heard footsteps which at first you assumed was him walking away, but instead they grew closer to you until you felt a hand on your shoulder. You looked up to see Zephyr with an understanding look. "I get it Anon. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have bothered you when you were clearly upset. We're still friends so no need to worry." He said while smiling. You smiled back at him before giving each other a fist bump. "So, I'm guessing your looking for Pinkies ex-boyfriend by any chance?" "How do you know that?" You asked. "Dude, I was there at the party and it's been going around the school for a while." He reminded you. "Oh, right." You said while rubbing the back of your neck. "Have you seen him lately?" You asked before he shook his head. "I'm sorry Anon, I don't really know where he is right now." He answered truthfully. You looked down in disappointment. "But I do know where he likes to hang out after school if that's alright." Your eyes lit up with hope and you looked back at him. "Really?" "Yeah. He likes to hang out around the soccer field behind school while reading a book. I've seen him a few times there while I was . . . well that's not important. You might be able to find him there." You smiled instantly at this and gave Zephyr a bro hug. "Thanks Zephyr! Thank you so much!" You exclaimed before he hugged you back. "It's no problem Anon." You both separated before you both continued on your way to your first period classes. You texted Flash and Bulk to meet you there after school which they said that they would be there. School was done for the day, which was perfect for you as you were immediately on your way to the soccer field. Each step you took was filled with determination. Finally, you made it to the soccer field. You looked around for a bit and sure enough Zephyr was right. He was there, sitting by himself on the bottom seats of the bleachers while reading a book with a somewhat bored look. He was pretty much golden colored from head to toe hence the name Golden Shine. He wore a hoodie and standard jeans and converse. The only part of him that was not golden was his eyes which were green. You threw on a determined look before briskly walking over and standing behind him. "HEY!" You shouted at him but he didn't respond. You looked and saw that he was wearing soundproof headphones. You were a little bit irritated by this but you kept your calm anyway. You then walked in front of him and looked down at him. He still hadn't noticed that you were there so you assumed that he was really focused on his book. You then got the idea of quickly snatching the book out of his hands which is what finally got his attention. "Hey! I was . . . Anon? What are you doing here?" He asked. "Looking for you." You said seriously. "Could you please give me my book back?" He asked while holding out his hand. "Not right now. You and I need to talk." He soon grew a rather unenthusiastic look. "About what?" "Oh don't give me that. You know why I'm here. So why'd you do it huh?" You asked while slowly getting angry. "Do what?" He asked while slightly getting annoyed. "Why did you break up with Pinkie Pie?" You asked him sternly. "That's none of your business why I broke up with Pinkie. So just leave me alone and give me my book back." He commanded. "I won't leave you alone and I won't give your stupid book back until you tell me." You said while crossing your arms. "Well I'm not telling you so you're just wasting your time." He said. "Oh no I'm not. I don't have anything else better to do so you may as well tell me." You said. This is when you were really starting to get on his nerves as he stood up and looked you in the eye. "Look, I don't have the interest to deal with this. Why don't you just beat it before you get yourself hurt." He said in a somewhat threatening tone. You back talked him. "I'm not going anywhere, not until I get what I want. So you'd better tell me." He got closer to you while glaring at you. "Or what?" He said trying to intimidate you but it wasn't working. "Or I'll just follow and pester you until you tell me your reason. You won't believe how stubborn I can be." You answered. He got even closer as his face was almost touching yours. "And what's to stop me from beating you into a pulp to get you to stop?" He threatened. Right as he said that, two hands placed themselves on his shoulders causing him to turn around and saw both Flash Sentry and Bulk Biceps standing there with serious expressions. "Because then you'll have to deal with us." Flash said. "Yeah." Bulk added in a serious tone. Golden got a little scared at the fact that he was outnumbered in this situation before he took a deep breath to quench his anger. He turned away and looked back at you. "I really don't want it to resort to this Golden Shine, I'm not trying to threaten you with violence or anything, but if you try to hurt me in any way, they'll just have to deal with you." You said matter-of-factly. He looked down realizing that there was no way out of this before he looked back at you. "If I tell you, will you leave me alone?" He asked. You pretended to think for a moment before giving your answer. "Maybe." He looked a little disappointed by the answer before sighing and taking a seat on the bleachers. "Alright, you really wanna know? You absolutely wanna know?" He asked to which you nodded to. He took a deep breath before blurting it out loudly. "SHE'S ANNOYING ALRIGHT?!" You stood there shocked by what he said. He broke up with Pinkie because he thought she was annoying? You honestly couldn't believe it. They seemed so incredibly happy with each other when they dated but he somehow found her annoying? This was so unbelievable to you that you had to press on. "Annoying? You think she's annoying?" You asked. "I do! Everyday while we were dating each other, she wouldn't stop being so clingy with me AND she also wouldn't shut up for the life of her! When we were first dating I did find it a little bit cute, but now it was just irritating! So you know what I did?! I ended it with her! Because I can't stand her anymore! There I said it!" He finished with a huff before crossing his arms and staring at you. You stood there staring at him with a baffled look on your face. On the outside you looked shocked, but on the inside a tiny little flame within the dark reaches of your body was soon growing into a raging inferno. You tried to keep it together as best as you could before speaking again. "If you had such a problem with that . . . then why didn't you say anything about it to her?" You asked in a whisper like tone to keep yourself from exploding on him. "Because I knew that my words wouldn't have gotten through that thick stupid skull of hers! She's an idiot anyways so I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have understood them!" He responded back while yelling. You then began to shake with rage as you dropped his book on the ground. How dare him. How dare he had the nerve to break Pinkies heart over something that could have been easily fixed just by talking to her. Those thoughts were raging through your psyche. Flash and Bulk took notice of your condition and they had to act fast before you did something drastic. "Bulk, hold him back!" Flash commanded which he responded to by quickly holding onto your body as you were thrashing about. Flash was in front of you to keep you from running at him in case you got out. "HOW DARE YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU HURT PINKIE LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF TALKING TO HER!! YOU'RE THE BIGGEST IDIOT THAT I'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF KNOWING!!! You screamed as you were trying to get out of Bulks grasp. Thankfully, he was strong enough to hold you in place as you continued to struggle. Golden backed up a bit with his hands up in defense. He then looked at you and realized why you were acting this way. "Wait, are you in love with her?" He asked in a surprised voice. "WHAT'S IT TO YOU, YOU JERK?!" You screamed at him. He then shook his head in disbelief. "Wow. You ARE in love with her. So you're seriously telling me that you're willing to put up with someone as annoying and idiotic as Pinkie Pie you moron?" He asked. This got you even more angry and you continued to struggle while Bulk held you back. "I'M A MORON?! NO, YOU'RE THE MORON!! I NEVER PUT UP WITH PINKIE PIE!! SHE'S ALWAYS FUN TO BE AROUND AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING HER CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL FACE!! YOU'RE THE IDIOT FOR BREAKING A SWEET GIRLS HEART WITHOUT EVEN TALKING TO HER ABOUT IT!! "Whatever man! Good luck with you and your clingy, idiotic, pestering girlfriend!" He yelled before retrieving his book off the ground and walking away. "GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU INCONSIDERATE JERK!!" You screamed. "ANON, CALM DOWN!!" Flash commanded you. "YEAH MAN, HE'S NOT WORTH IT!" Bulk added. You slowly but surely started calming down as you slowly sunk to the ground. Flash and Bulk comforted you by patting and rubbing your back gently. You eventually calmed down and looked at the guys. "I . . . I'm good. Thanks you guys." You said while taking deep breaths. "It's fine Anon. The last thing we want is for you to end up in detention for starting a fight or worse." Flash said. Bulk nodded in agreement. You stood back up and looked at both of them as they stood on either side of you. "I'm gonna go see Pinkie right now. I'll see you guys later. Thanks for the help." You said before giving them both a fist bump and a bro hug and walked away while they stared at you with worried looks. You started making your way towards Pinkies house but not before letting your parents know that you were going there. They said okay before you started your journey.
