It took Twilight a good solid five minutes to make her way back to the cafeteria. She’s run in the opposite direction for starters and even though she had a pretty good grasp on the layout of the school now, she had no idea where she was at the end of that mad sprint. When she did arrive she saw neither Sil nor Die. Trixie however was waiting for her. “Trixie has been waiting for you.” Trixie said.
“Yeah… I kinda had something come up.” she said, still sweating lightly. Though she had caught her breath in that time. “Wait, how’d you know I was going to be here?” Twilight asked then was struck with the obvious. “Did Sil tell you I was going to be here?”
“Correct.” answered Trixie. “She told Trixie to wait for you and then left with Die. Trixie believes she implied they would be at the library but Trixie is unsure.” she said as she crossed her arms and tried not to look pouty about it.
“Well… should we just go there and find out then?” Twilight questioned.
"Very well." Trixie harrumphed as she turned on a heel and began off. Without waiting to see if Twilight was beside he, in fact she actually had her eyes closed and head tilted upwards, she began. "So what took you so long? What came up?"
"Oh, it wasn't really much." she answered but a raised eyebrow form Trixie made it obviously she wasn't buying it. "Fine. Yesterday... I ran into the girl who did that."
"So it happened yesterday? Then why would.... oh. Trixie understands her misunderstanding. Continue." she said with just the slightest hint of worry in her voice.
"It's not bad. In fact, she want to apologise. I didn't know that however so I ran. But she eventually caught me. She said sorry and returned my phone." she said as she pulled her phone from a pocket. "It... may been to be repaired. But at least I got it back."
Having heard what she asked, Trixie figured a change in topic was needed. Sure Twilight wasn't as frightened as Trixie had assumed she'd be after another run in with that girl but it was clear to Trixie, thanks to something her cousin had told her earlier, that Twilight wasn't exactly as comfortable always as she let on. "Silverspoon has informed me that you don't like talking... or something. Trixie can understand that. She too finds it irritating when having to converse with lessers also."
"That's..." was all Twilight responded with.
"Trixie does not mean to insult you Twilight. You are not Trixie's lesser. Your best is equal to Trixie's average and thus Trixie tolerates you. A lesser-equal. Which is far my than can be said about my cousin and her girls friend who ditched Trixie with the job of waiting for you so those two could have some more alone time..." she vented, letting her words get obviously more annoyed towards the end. Whether what she was saying was entirely true was up for debate however.
"Um... well maybe they knew that." Twilight gave her input. "Maybe they knew you don't really like them. But you like me as your... lesser-equal. Which by the way, you know how insulting calling me that is right?"
She just nodded. "Trixie knows."
"Of course. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that you wouldn't you prefer to have a bit of time hanging out with me instead of all of us and get some time away form them before that?" asked Twilight.
Trixie visually pondered on the question for a moment, folding one arm who resting the other on it with it's hand at her chin. "Trixie concurs. While rude and highly unlikely that those two managed to think of something so clever, Trixie will allow herself to believe what you have just said as even should it not be true, as Trixie highly doubts, the result is still the same and as such you are correct. Also, we're here."
"Really... I thought it was further than that?"
"Well we have been walking for three minutes... though Trixie will admit we haven't really said much for that amount of time. Shall we enter. Trixie would much rather us head elsewhere but knows you would like to hang out with those two."
"They're not that bad." Trixie just glared at her. "Well, maybe a little. But, but... I got nothing. Just c'mon, ok?" she said as she lightly pulled Trixie into the library doors. It only took them a few seconds to find the two younger girls sitting in the reading area of the mostly empty library. The only ones in there where the librarian, the four of them, a girl Twilight thought she remembered from her Geology class and some boys clearly using the school computars to play Duty Calls.
“What took you so long?” Sil asked as the two took seats at the table.
“I thought you would’ve figured out the layout of the school by now.” Die joked.
“She ran into the girl from the bathroom yesterday.” Trixie answered for her. “She tried to avoid a confrontation but the brute followed her.”
“Hey now. I wouldn’t call her a brute…” Twilight interjected.
“Yes, but Trixie would and did.”
“You’re defending her?” Die asked.
“Trixie understands why Twilight would say such so she will skip the part where she chased you and tell them about how she gave you back your phone. Though the screen is cracked, the gesture is the main thing. Of course Trixie believes she wasn’t being apologetic, rather just trying to cover her own skin from trouble should you have reported her. In no way did you make Trixie think her words anything less than that.”
“Well… you’re probably right.” Twilight said. She’d pulled out her phone half way through Trixie’s recap to backup the story. “I don’t even know if it still works.” she then turned the phone to her and turned it on. The screen was darker than usual but it probably had more to do with the battery saying 3% on the lock screen. As she slid her finger up across the screen, opening the phone, she was greeted with an unsent message on her conversation with Sil, right below her text for help.
‘I thought you were recording me flipping out. Saw the message. My bad. Had a rough time and was pissed. Was going to so sorry by top up your credit for cracking the screen but you’re on a plan so… anyway, sorry. P.S. let anyone see this and I break your face.’
“Did you just send me a message?” Sil asked as her phone buzzed.
“What? NO!!!” but it was too late. "I'm so dead."
Sil just looked at her phone and read the text. She then furrowed her brow and asked "Did she really write that?" in an accusing tone. "I mean... what did she think was going to happen if she wrote that in the text chat window? She must be really dumb..."
"Why, what does it say?" Die asked as she leant over Sil's shoulder. Sil however, covered her phone and leant away. After that, the four of them continued their little grouped-group meeting. Die and Sil mostly talking to each other while Twilight and Trixie mostly stayed silent, at least compared to the other two who got 'shush'd twice by the Ms. Cheerilee. They also talked between each other and with only a few, which was actually over ten times easily but over the course of twenty minutes seemed very few, asked something to or got asked by the other group.
It was basically the same thing Die had suggested for Twilight and for the first time, she actually felt like she'd enjoyed her time with Trixie. Die had always had a bit of a conflict with Trixie's superiority complex, I mean, what kind of person is so high and mighty? But with her talking with someone she didn't feel the need to constantly remind everyone she was better than, she was actually rather fun to hang around. And if you hadn't guess, Trixie was thinking the EXACT same thing about Diamond Tiara.
Soon enough though, the bell rang and it was the end of lunch. "So what are we doing after school?" one of the boys asked his groups way too loudly for a library before they left. Without any of the group asking it, everyone now was thinking it.
Sil answered first with "I'd hang but I have to do some English homework... bad enough it's with Sweetie Bot, doesn't have to be her nerdy gamer boyfriend that reminded me I can't do stuff today because of it..." she pouted.
"As much as Trixie would love to do something this afternoon with all of you." no one should tell if she was being sincere or sarcastic with that word. "Trixie has obligations already that she must attend to."
Die went next with "I don't have any plans. I just don't want to."
"Me and Die always go to the mall on Saturday mornings. You two want to come?" which was received with a groan from Die. "What?..."
"That's when WE were meant to hang out."
"Uh yeah... that's kinda the point Die.
"Fine. 10 am Saturday. Meet us at the café on the corner of Cube Street and Sugar Lane."
