"Okay, Rainbow. Remember the plan," Blitz said. She smiled, giving him a nod. She gave her a thumbs up and walked away.
Rainbow walked the other direction towards Soarin's locker, where she was certain he would be. His locker was open, meaning that he was still getting his books together for next class. She put a big smile on her face, walking over with no confidence at all. She stood in front of his locker, waiting for him to slam. Once he did, he jumped at her presence.
"Dashie! Didn't see ya there," Soarin' said, scratching his head nervously.
Rainbow, who was trying to keep a straight face, said,"Yeah, I just sneaked up on you like that. Scared ya didn't I?"
"Tsk, no. I'm a man, and no sneaking up would scare me," Soarin said confidently."So, what are you doing at my locker?"
"Just wanted to know what you were doing this weekend," Rainbow said casually.
"Oh, this weekend? You mean like THIS weekend?" Soarin' said nervously.
"If you're doing something, that's fine," Rainbow said, looking down then back up at him with the magenta puppy eyes she knew he couldn't resist.
"Must…resist…cuteness," he said as if he was being attacked. The look was all it took for Soarin' to drop everything for her. But he knew he couldn't.
"Uh…gotta go!" He finally said. He ran to the opposite direction of an wide mouthed Rainbow, who was shocked of the response she had gotten. She closed her mouth and walked to her locker.
"Lunch time...I got him at lunch time," she said to herself, searching for her algebra book.
"And so, then I was like, 'You have to kick the ball, Cory!' He didn't even know how to kick it!" Spitfire chuckled as she told the story about teching her little brother how to play soccer."It was hilarious!" The whole table burst with laughter along with her.
"Hey guys," Rainbow said as she sat down next to Soarin' with her lunch tray. The laughter died down as everyone had confused looks on their faces.
"Dash? What are you doing here? You never sit with us," Spitfire said with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh, I just, ya know, wanted to hang out with my other group of friends," Rainbow said. She looked back at her brother, who was sitting behind them across the cafeteria. He gave her a thumbs up. She turned back around, gave a quick glance at Soarin', then back at Spitfire.
Spitfire got the message eventually."Uh huh."
"So, what were you guys talking about?" she asked, grabbing an apple and biting into it.
"Well, Spitfire was telling the funniest story about her brother!" Fleetfoot giggled."You've gotta tell her."
"Oh, I think she already knows," she said, winking at Rainbow.
"Right! Yeah, totally. Know all about it," Rainbow agreed, swallowing the bits of apple in her mouth."So I heard that someone at this table has a date on Saturday."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. None of them had heard about one of their teammates having a date. Soarin' bit his lip and blushed.
"Is it you?" Thunderlane asked her. Rainbow shook her head. She glanced at Soarin' one last time and smiled. Her and Blitz' plan was working out perfectly.
"Dude! Congratulations man! She's a lucky lady," Thunderlane said, giving Soarin' a fist bump. He didn't respond to it. He just stared into space.
"Yo, Earth to Soarin'..." Rainbow said, waving her hand in his face. He shook his head violently and said,"Ha! I don't have a date! C'mon guys. You know me!"
"Apparently not enough," Spitfire mumbled and smiled."So, who is she?"
"Yes, do tell!" a voice said. Everyone jumped as they glanced at an excited Rarity getting ready to tell the details to their fellow classmates. She was holding her phone in her hand and leaning in on the conversation.
"Rarity!" Rainbow said. She gave her a gesture that read 'What the heck?'
"Oops! Sorry! I just cannot resist juicy romances!" Rarity said. She walked over to Thunderlane's side and out her head on his shoulder."Aren't they just simply divine?"
"Uh.." Thunderlane mumbled, slightly blushing.
"RARITY," Rainbow said, gritting her teeth.
"Okay, fine! I'll leave!" Rarity said, sashaying away back to her table. She winked at Thunderlane before sitting down.
"Okay, what is up with all of these romances? This is getting weird!" Fleetfoot said.
"Ya know, I would like to hear about that myself," Rainbow said. She looked up at Soarin' and smiled, resting her head on her fist.
"I-I don't have a date!" Soarin' said.
"But Dash just said that you had one, or at least implied it," Spitfire said, sipping her tea.
"Then she's lying about it," Soarin' replied, crossing his arms.
"Then what was that talk all about with you and Clear Skies?" Rainbow asked, starting to get irritated.
"It was about-nothing!" He answered. He got up and walked away from the table. Everyone looked at each other again.
"Um Dash...maybe we should stop talking about this," Spitfire said.
"Yeah, we should," she said, disappointment in her voice.
Now he's lying to me? What is going on with that boy? Rainbow thought as she finished her meal. The schoolbell rang, and all of the students threw their remaining lunches away and came out of the cafeteria door.
