The next morning Wallflower Blush was despairingly trying not to sleep in the class because physics wasn't something she was interested to know, who cares about learning the radio frequency of an atomic bomb? She wasn't going to destroy nature by using a nuclear weapon just to receive an A on physics.
She cursed the moment when she opened her eyes that morning because the last night she had nothing more than many pleasant dreams about the boy who just meet in the garden... Not just to help her out, but his shirtless nature making her blush as she drooled imagining touching his athletic chest.
"Oh my God Wallflower, keep together, just ask him out. You should've been in a panic instead of blushing like a fangirl." Wallflower shook her head as she fought the blush on her face, Trying so much to remain calm and collect fighting the goofy smile on her face but from that goofy smile, she was actually glad by what happened on the day before... it was great news Spike could go to her club and she wouldn't feel pressured to terminate the club because of the lack of members. From the way Principal Celestia said it Wallflower couldn't help but question one question...
"Did she just put Spike on my club?" Wallflower decided to keep drawing on her notebook as she looked uninterested over the class, the professor wearing the brown coat as he talked something but Wallflower couldn't hear because she was focusing in other matters... She just wanted the class would be over...
Wallflower was daydreaming until a loud impact of a book slammed over her desk made her not just waking her up but making her scream in panic from a sudden scare on her table.
"AHHHHHH." Wallflower turned her head as she felt a hand over her shoulder and freezing her and making her even more scared than before... Wallflower Blush, felt her heartbeat up like a metal band drummer as she sweats tremendously. She felt hyperventilating as she suddenly heard a voice.
"Girl, are you okay? Wallflower Blush? Wallflower Blush? I'm sorry to scare you." Wallflower was taking a deep breath as she was trying to calm herself up, as she turned around and found what would be the last person she could imagine talking to her... A worried face of a girl who was now the most popular girl in the class and maybe from the school... the former bully herself... The one who was the daughter of the principal and the sister of the boy who visited her sometimes... Sunset freaking Shimmer. She had a sheepish smile, as she looked concerned and with her backpack, she took of a water bottle. "Here to help you to calm down."
Wallflower hesitantly took the water bottle from her hands and taking deep breathes she swallowed all the water, as her heart was finally starting to calm down until it reached the regular rhythm. After taking a few minutes, Wallflower Blush recovered herself, as she glanced at the person who scared her...
"I'm so sorry... Wallflower Blush right?" Sunset Shimmer looked regretful as she concerned about the girl who was just distracted but from the combo of a slamming book and a hand on her shoulder, Sunset couldn't imagine she was having the girl a panic attack... "I didn't mean to make you feel panic at this moment, I just wanted to talk to you..."
"Hu? Err... Ah, yes..." Wallflower was still having a few seconds to understand what was happening at the moment, but the way the girl looked at her, it seems she did indeed scared her, but what indeed shocked Wallflower Blush was the simple fact of... Someone in her class was talking to her... Never in her years of school, something like that ever happened before... And the person who talked to her was nobody less than Sunset Shimmer... "That's okay... You just surprised me."
"Ah that's great you recovered. Anyway, Professor Time Turner said there will be a new project over the class, and he told us to form pairs... And it seems all the groups are already with their pair, and now it's just you and me..." Sunset smiled sheepishly as Wallflower Blush raised her eyebrow and looked around her...
All the people were walking around the classroom while they are trying to find their pair... Wallflower Blush looked at Sunset Shimmer who smiled happily... It was obviously a lie but still, she lied to make sure Wallflower would make a pair with her...
"She is setting a trap." Wallflower already imagined on her mind she would meet the sister of the boy who kept coming to talk to her after class... could see something was odd at the first moment she looked at Sunset... nobody ever addressed Wallflower, usually, she was just alone on the projects... in all projects... however, today was an exception, since Sunset Shimmer herself wanted to be her partner...
"So..." Sunset smiled as she acts totally oblivious of nothing has happened, however, Wallflower Blush knew she wasn't what she was looking at at the moment... But, she is the sister of Spike and she cannot say no to someone who actually helped her...
Wallflower Blushed sighed, accepting her fate. She took her notebook and moved her chair a few centimeters away as she looked to Sunset and inclined her head allowing her to sit.
"Alright, just don't make loud conversation..." Wallflower said as Sunset moved her chair to sit next to her, making them look at the Professor watching all the students and all the students still lurking for their partners around the class... Both girls waited for the professor to assign the lecture.
Wallflower Blush still awaited the lecture begins as she used her hand to her head and inclined over the table, she was bored, uninterested to know what will happens in the class... Until the girl beside her started to whisper.
"So..." Wallflower gave a glance on the red-haired with yellow stripes girl who whispered beside her, acting innocent as she in fact wanted to interrogate her since from the beginning. " I heard you and my brother has been passing time together... How long have you met Spike?"
Wallflower knew she was already into an interrogation, she wasn't stupid, as she looked bored Wallflower Blush looked at her nails as she gave her answer... Into another form of a question. Going straight to the point and already finish the absurd already...
"I don't know...How long have you been with a crush on King Sombra?" Wallflower noticed Sunset Shimmer's face look shocked as she nearly jumps from her sit in reflex but her hands were under the desk, making her hit her hands at the desk and yelp into an annoying pain.
"Ouch. How? Did Spike told you that?" She whispered in panic, not believing one of her secrets was being revealed to Wallflower, someone she met in the morning... Receiving a nod from the green girl, made Sunset narrow her eyes as her voice still whispers in panic. "Don't you dare to tell anybody about this?"
"I wouldn't even imagine doing that." Wallflower said as she looked at the professor who seemed to start doing the class... As she glanced at the Sunset who took her notebook and starting to write some notes over the lecture... Wallflower couldn't help but ask... "Is that true that you were expelled from the Gym?"
Sunset's eyes twitched in annoyance as she groaned angrily, showing the facts that it was indeed the truth of the rumor.
"I can't believe he told you that too. Oh, that weasel. It just happened twice, it's not my fault they look like Adonis." Sunset Shimmer blushed lightly while Wallflower Blush couldn't help but giggle agreeing with her.
"Yeah, I know. How do you think they could have achieved great muscles like that?" Wallflower asked while Sunset just shrugged off.
"Who knows? Maybe many months exercising with good equipment," Sunset said while she looked at the professor Time Turner as he proceeded to draw a sketch of a rocket over the chalkboard...
Sunset looked at Wallflower Blush who seemed uninterested in the class but remained watching the class. Taking a look at her appearance, Sunset couldn't help but admire the beauty of the girl beside her. Until the girl beside her looked to her side making Sunset caught in surprise as she nervously looked away as scratched the back of her head...
Sunset then something crossed on her mind, as she looked down on her own notebook...
"Hey, Wallflower..." Sunset said as weakly, as the girl on her side gave another glance at her. "My mom told me you helped Spike to cheer up after what happened a few days ago... Thank you, it was difficult to make him open himself after what happened a few days ago... Seriously, I cannot be more thankful than that."
Wallflower heard the sincerity in Sunset's voice, as she couldn't help but smile as something she never thought she would have... Recognition, but she actually didn't do anything important... actually what happened was Spike who has saved her first.
"Well, to be honest... Spike helped me first... It was great to have someone to talk... and If wasn't for him my club would have been terminated." Wallflower couldn't help but smile gently at Sunset who seemed to understand her. "Well, I'm even surprised that you are actually talking to me now."
"Really? Because maybe it was because you appeared now... I mean, I just discovered you are in my class because my mom told me you were the one who was talking to Spike after class... So, nobody ever talked to you? Tell me, when you joined Canterlot High? A few weeks ago? " Sunset asked while Wallflower shook her head in negation.
"Nah, I'm here since 3 years ago." At the moment Wallflower said that Sunset's eyes went wide open as she couldn't help but shout it out in surprise.
"3 YEARS?" Sunset Shimmer let out a shout so loud that even the students turned their heads to see Sunset Shimmer looking sheepishly at them. "Sorry guys."
While all the students decided to shrug off and come back to the routine, the teacher Time Turner glared at Sunset who seemed to look even more nervous than before.
"Well, they are angry with you... Sometimes I'm surprised that being invisible helps me when it comes at cringe moments like this." Wallflower Blush said as she still makes some notations and ignoring that look from her partner beside her.
"What do you mean?" Sunset Shimmer asked surprised by such a statement, Wallflower Blush then raised her eyebrow and decided to show an example...
She went looked at the boy in front of her desk and decided to show an example.
"Hey Dust Strap, can you borrow me a pencil? I forgot mine at home..." Wallflower Blush said in a tone which Sunset Shimmer could hear clearly... but at the next few seconds, the boy in front of her didn't answer... "Dust Strap? Pencil, please..."
Wallflower Blush was poking the back of the Dust Strap as he didn't react like he wasn't hearing anything... Sunset's eyes went wide open as she looked at the girl who seemed to give up and went back to her notebook...
Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but open her mouth.
"Hey Dust Strap?" The moment Sunset said that the boy in front of her turned his back and with a smile answered.
"Oh hey Sunset, didn't know you were behind me, so what do you want?" Dust with all his sweet smile didn't just prove something Sunset wasn't expecting but confirmed something Wallflower Blush was used during all the time.
Sunset Shimmer looked at her partner, who just shrugged indicating Sunset can do whatever she wants...
"Err... nothing, I just want to know how are you?" Sunset decided to give up the idea because looking at Wallflower Blush, she wasn't even interested in proving more her point, but Sunset couldn't help but feel pity at the girl on her side.
Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but feel awkward from knowing that.
"But how? I mean, how nobody ever noticed you?" Sunset Shimmer asked after feeling sympathetic over the girl who just proved her point and now wanted to focus on hearing their teacher.
"Well, that's what means to be invisible... nobody ever noticed me during all these years... Just the principals... And Spike who appeared at the garden looking for an ear to listen to him." Wallflower was looking at the clock over the wall, wanting the class to be over the soon as possible like the Physics class was the most annoying class tied with Math class, but at the moment Wallflower felt a touch on her shoulder... and the determined eyes from the girl on her side.
"How about I introduce you to the girls? We can make sure the school is known about you, and we can help you the club grow better." Sunset asked while she sounded sincere, but Wallflower shook her head without thinking twice, her eyes were fulfilled with determination.
"Sorry Sunset, while I appreciate the idea of having more friends I cannot do that. Spike needs a friend for him, and I don't want to be one of the people who exchange the privilege of calling him by his name to a category named as Sunset's brother like all the girls who you hang out, do..." Wallflower turned down the idea of wanting that change of pace since Spike was so hurt yesterday, and she wanted to be there for him or even help him to find new friends...
At the moment Wallflower Blush said that Sunset Shimmer mouth clinched as she didn't capture the meaning of her words, but after thinking for a few seconds like the way Wallflower Blush said that made Sunset's eyes wide open as her mouth clinched trying to imagine what she meant... but on the next moment, her face frowned deeply as she held the hand of Wallflower Blush...
"Tell me everything..." Sunset demanded as she looked serious at the girl on her side.
And Wallflower didn't refuse. After taking another look at the chalkboard with the deadline wrote over there and the things they have to do together to received a good grade, was enough to make Wallflower Sigh and answer in honesty of what she has in mind.
"I discovered what I want it's not be friends with your friends... Maybe just you, because you are Spike's sister and daughter of the principals, but from what I've heard from Spike... I cannot let the poor boy down... He said he thought he was friend with the girls you hang out with, but that proved to just be a total illusion... and from the girl named Twilight, she became so compromised with your friends that made Spike feel really hurt from not being part of the most important day of his life... He felt that your friends never actually cared about him, so he felt invisible... just like me..." Wallflower gave the resume of what she has been thinking about the story Spike had told her... She told her about everything, from the moment Spike was treating himself, and even looking at the sunset over the garden... But the revelations showed Sunset Shimmer a view she never thought she would have imagined...
How Spike felt invisible after Twilight being around her friends...
"Oh..." Sunset Shimmer said after knowing about how Spike views himself in the situation where he was...
"It's not your fault... The situation Spike was in was it was clearly an impossible situation, he cannot blame anyone, not even himself for what happened... But I think he may need more support and I think that's why Principal Celestia said he was going to be part of the botanic club. Because he was broken." Wallflower couldn't say more than the truth, on the way Spike looked from the first day, he was someone wanting to vent out his problems, while using a steam inhaler to take a deep breath and try to calm down his mind... "He even has using the machine to clean his lungs."
"So has he been smoking?" Sunset couldn't help but grin from hearing about the machine. "He uses it directly, by God, If wasn't for the fact he has bronchitis I think he just would use it because he was addicted to that."
"He told me you were the one who makes up all the jokes about it." Wallflower looked at Sunset while couldn't help but giggle as she admitted what the boy had confessed to her, while Sunset Shimmer smiled proudly at her deeds...
Both of the girls started to giggle as the antics of the green haired swimmer, who just didn't realize he was being topic between both his sister and the girl he meet days ago.
As they watch the professor explaining what they will do to receive a good grade over the project, Wallflower couldn't help but has something on her mind, and since Sunset was on her side, maybe it was time to talk about it...
"So... Spike won 2 medals in 2 categories on the championship."
"I know right? Not just that, but a trophy with his team," Sunset said excitedly like she was proud of her brother doing such feet. She even took her cellphone as she opened the gallery and showed the picture of Spike holding a trophy with his team... A red skinned boy with orange hair who was smiling like a winner, a dark turquoise boy with dark pink hair with purple eyes who seemed acting like a cool boy who was holding the trophy, and Spike who was on the middle showing 2 medals grinning like an excited boy. "Oh if you have met him before, you could have seen him in action. The fastest over the group, when the first swimmer came to exchange places with Spike. Spike jump straight to the water like a torpedo and made a huge distance of difference between the first place and second place, that's why he is named torpedo fish."
"Torpedo Fish?" Wallflower tried to not laugh at the nickname, which Sunset understood, it was a silly nickname.
"One of his teammates gave this name to him because of a card game he plays. Anyway, Spike the torpedo fish went so fast that the third swimmer could swim peacefully, but the third teammate even went on his full speed, and made them 3 beat the local record." Sunset said like she could remember all the family cheering from such a memorable moment. "Man, Twilight would have been extremely happy if she was there... Sadly that wasn't the case."
After that, the silence paired over the conversation...Both girls couldn't help but feel pity of what happened...
"Yeah... I know... I actually feel sorry for her... Is she still blaming herself for losing Spike competing?" Wallflower Blush gave a look on her side, and she still looked at the girl who was focusing her studies with a girl wearing a Stetson hat, but from the look on her face, the girl wearing glass was with some dark circles around her eyes ... Showing she maybe didn't have a rest in a while...
Sunset looked at her friend who was sitting a few desks away from her, as she shook her head and looked down at her notebook.
"Yeah, but with girls around her, she will start to move on... someday, but I think that was indeed a big impact on her life, knowing the person who needed her most to cheer with him wasn't around when he won..." Sunset sighed as she looked over the clock, as the class was almost over...
"Normally I thought from her absence, Spike would have lost his motivation and he would have lost the competition." Wallflower confessed which she was still writing some physics formulas while Sunset nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, me too... Thankfully Spike is focused on following his dreams..." Sunset smiled which after both agreeing with each other and having a pleasant conversation, the school bell started ringing showing it was time to change the classes. "Well, I may not have said that to you for years, but I will say it now... It was nice to meet you Wallflower. Oh... when can we talk about the project of the class?"
Wallflower Blush stopped her writing, as she thought about a few seconds before replying.
"We can talk after the class at the Garden behind the school, usually is where I stay after school all the time, and since Spike will be there from now on, you can visit us to talk about the project and enjoy Spike working himself up."
"Oh, that looks great, see yah, Wallflower." Sunset said after taking her stuffs and left to meet her friends who were waiting for her at the door...
Leaving Wallflower with a smile on her face, as she took her stuff and decided to leave the class...
"Yeah, it was nice to meet you too Sunset." She whispered to herself as left the classroom, to try to fight another class of math. Hopefully, she would receive an easier subject in class...
