A Crush on My Best Friend

by Glitter Brush


Working It Out

"Sure, I'll help you." Flare replied with a smile. The turquoise mare and I walk out the door finding a private spot where the principal won't notice us. Flare points her blue hoof and says, "That seems like a good spot." It was surrounded by fences, it had a bucket of salt that melts ice, and a pathway to someplace in the school. She started the conversation, "So what seems to be the problem?" "I... I... I get this super-excited feeling around Harmony. I think I have feelings for her" I told her. Flare nods with a puzzled look. The two ponies talk to each other about Glitter's "crush on Harmony" problem. "It just seems really odd, since we're both mares" I said. The school bell rings, mares and stallions of ages 10-11 gallop out the door, getting to their special classes. "We'll come here again tomorrow" Flare tells me. My face is a worried face. I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship. After school, I gallop home, trying to figure out how to fix this until Flare texts me on my marePhone. Glitter reads, "Hey, do you want to come over and do homework with me and Starstruck?" I text her back, "Ok, I have to ask first." I get a little excited as I invite Harmony over with me. "Flare won't mind, it's only one more pony after all." I thought. I gallop out the door, levitating my penguin purse (my favorite animal) over my shoulder, and I trot.

Lifting each hoof off the ground to gallop , I think about Harmony. When I was lost in thought, I almost ran into a pegasus. The pony puts a stop to her flying and I make a left turn. Wiping my forehead with my hoof, I exhaled, "I should be more careful next time. Phew!" I continue galloping on the concrete sidewalk, I was lost in thought again but this time, I actually knew where I was going. My gallop turns into a trot to walk up the hill to Harmony's house, I push my white hoof on her doorbell. Harmony opens the door and says, "Hey Glitter, what do you need?" "Do you want to come over to Flare's house with me? We can do our homework there" I ask her. Harmony nods in agreement and tells me she'll be there in a few minutes. I ride to Flare's house, which is about a few houses from Harmony's. I push the brake on my scooter with my left hind leg, appearing in front of Flare's house. I once again, ring the doorbell. Flare opens the door and greets me, "Come on in!" I walk in the house, levitating my backpack with my horn, surrounded by a light blue aura. I find Starstruck, a Pegasus with a neon green coat, a neon orange mane and tail, and neon pink eyes. She was sitting in Flare's kitchen, eating a bag of Fillitos (much likeFritos) and watching EFV (Equestria's Funniest Videos). She waves her bright hoof at me, "Hey Glitter!" I wave my hoof back, finding myself watching EFV. Then a mare with a brown-haired ponytail appears at the door, this time I open the door, trying not to blush. I look at Harmony very closely. "She's really dressed today, perfect for..." I pause my thought as I shake my head. "Hey Harmony!" Starstruck greets her. Harmony waves her hoof back and smiles. I look at Harmony and facehoof myself. Flare pushes the brakes on my train of thought and asks me, "Are you sure you're going to be ok?" I respond to her, "I'm fine Flare, but thanks for asking."

The four fillies walk to the room next to the living room. The zipper on my backpack magically moves, surrounded by my unicorn magic. I levitate the binder into my lap while Harmony physically takes out her binder. Her binder had lots of small puppies on the front. Mine had my 6 best friends on it. We start to focus on our homework until Starstruck plays the piano, badly. I cover my ears with my hooves, getting rid of the annoying sounds Starstruck was playing. Flare puts on some music on her Applebuck Laptop, it was My Little Pony music. Flare gets up from doing her homework, dragging me to the kitchen. "Glitter, are you sure you'll be okay?" Flare asks. I push my hoof away from hers and responded, "I'm fine Flare!" I'm a little stubborn if that's a negative word to describe me. I walk back to the room where Harmony and Starstruck were in. For a few times, me and Flare did the "get out of the room and into the kitchen" thing. "Are you... hiding something Flare?" Starstruck asks. I bite my bottom lip, a little afraid of what Flare would say. "You two have been walking into the kitchen for a while now" Harmony said. My hoof shakes in fear, but I stand up. "We're not. We're just planning something and we..." I pause my sentence, afraid of what I might blurt out. Flare finishes it off, "It's a special birthday party for... Sparkle, since her birthday is tomorrow." The two ponies continue their homework, well, except for Starstruck.

The doorbell rings. "Who else could it be now?" Flare asking while walking over and opening the door. Her turquoise hoof pulls the handle, looking through the door was a rainbow-maned pegasus. "Uh. Hey, Flare. I was just wondering, did you bring home the Social Studies book? I left mine at school and my computer is acting up. Flare turns around, finding a levitating book fly to her. Flare thanks me, "Thanks" I salute my hoof to Flare, proud to do anything for her. Flare puts the book in her mouth, not trying to drop it because of its heavy weight. Rainbow Dash grabs the book and closes the door. Starstruck was still playing the piano. She looks at her watch. "Oh, I have to go! Bye guys!" The rest of us wave our hooves at Starstruck. I smile with a creepy look, a little happy that she left. We get back to work when Flare was about to leave the room. I cry out, "Flare! Don't leave me here alone!" This sentence sounded better in my head. I put my hoof in my mouth, I was feeling a little stupid for saying that in front of Harmony when only Flare was supposed to hear it. "Hey!" Harmony yells out. I didn't want her to get more mad than she already was. So we went back to work, then all of a sudden, Harmony's watch goes off. We wave our hooves to Flare, thanking her for letting us do our homework at her house (even know we didn't finish it). As I walked home, I noticed many thoughts in my head getting all jumbled up. Most of them were about Harmony, some of them were other problems, such as grades and enemies. I gallop home, but since I've packed on some weight, I ran a little slower than usual. I'm not the type of pony that likes to trot often. Finally seeing the plate of my last name, my trot slows down into a walk. I open the door, as always, Eva is there to greet me.
