After the lame but certainly welcomed outcome from the day before yesterday, everything went back to normal in my lacking social life. I cursed that fashionista and her exaggerated antics; she fainted right in front of me in the boutique while babbling in her dreams about an horror or something like it. And when she wokes up, she nearly choked me with those not-so gently hands of her while calling me a rudish savage. She was strong, and… eeh, perhaps I was at fault for calling her a bitch.
Nevertheless, I confess that she did a great job with my clothes, especially to my loved Tac-shirt that Grandfather gave me long ago. I was skeptical, fearful and paranoid when I bestowed on her the fate of my shirt. I couldn't even sleep that night. But I thank the Truth of the existence for this great result. I still feel worried about the poor Derpy for being assaulted by Rainbow Dash, hope she is okay.
Speaking of Rainbow Dash, since yesterday she has been acting more apathetic around me; unfriendly could be a more accurate word for it. I don't know what’s her problem now. I guess that she didn't like me on the first day after I mentioned that I couldn't care less about winning for the school. At least she was dissimulative about it.
I thought to myself that maybe she was just in a really bad mood and in the flow of the day she would go back to her outgoing personality. Ethics ended and Trigonometry started. Santa Calculus started his class right away and imparted his lesson with his usual efficacy. Everything went fine until my… I don’t know what to call her anymore.
“Mr. Bridge, do you know about the third dimension hypothesis in this algorithmic hypothesis?”
“But of course, Miss Sparkle! Class, pay attention to this if you want to be a math researcher in the future. The theory says-!”
Twilight, shut up. And teacher, nobody wants to be a glorified math proffesor here! Wait… maybe I can use this to my advantage to improve my classmate's bad mood!
“Twilight strikes again with another of her outrageous question, huh?”
I may have whispered, but it was loud enough for Rainbow to hear it. I wasn't worried about Twilight, she never listens to my complaints during classes.
And… Nothing. As a matter of fact, she looked even more pissed than before. So I am the problem, but what did I do to you, exactly? There was no more time for worrying about it, Calculus started to give us work to do and eventually school break came. Lightbulb and Dancer were in the cafeteria with a lot of students in there. They did me the favor of buying lunch for me and we went separate ways. They had team homework with their classmates and I decided to eat in the backyard.
“Finally, a moment of respite.”
This place was nice; nobody came here! The panorama of the nearly reddish leafs of autumn was nearly at hand. The climate was fresh and relaxing, and without a doubt I will have at last a normal break by myself. And now, let’s begin eating before-
“We need to talk.”
…Shit, so much for my dream of being alone at peace. I decided to ignore her for a brief moment.
“Hey!”
She was crouching in front of me now. Her face… she was pissed, really pissed.
“Could it wait for another time, Rainbow Dash?”
“No.”
Your unfriendly but relaxed tone totally made me nervous.
“I don’t know about you but at least let me eat while we talk, want some?”
“No, thanks.”
So Fruits and Salads Wednesday isn't really that popular as I thought… or maybe it was because I was the one who offered it.
“What do you want to talk about?” I said while starting eating my fruits with honey.
“About what you said of me, of my team, of the school practices!” She said defiantly.
“Uh?”
“Don’t play dumb! Do you know how worried Spitfire and the soccer team are now? Some of the students morale suddenly got lower. We are trying our best to make this a challenging and fun experience as possible and you came and started talking on our backs about us being jerks during training. What right do you have to say that? Tell it on my face!”
So this was the problem? What a ridiculous dilemma! On the academy… forget it, I am not there anymore. Even so, was the standard of social peace in this school so low that these kinds of things are incredible touchy? Well, let’s get this over with and move on.
“Alright, I'll tell you in the face; you were complete Jerks during training and the class was a pain in the ass. If this is what you call fun, I don't want any of it.”
There. Simple and clean. Maybe this will do the trick and-
“What is wrong with you? You have been impossible to deal with since day one! The girls and the school may have not noticed but you are unfriendly, uncooperative and a complete jerk with the people who cares about you!”
The line between patient and pissed off was starting to get blurry after all the days I spent here. I better get out of here before I say something I will regret.
“Thanks for sharing this new information to me, Dash.” I repacked my lunch and got up “Now if you excuse me, I will go to finish lunch elsewhere.”
“OH NO, You won't go anywhere! Not until you say that you are sorry and help me clean the mess you caused.”
“Help clean the mess I caused? There wouldn’t even be a mess if you were more empathic with the way you ‘try’ to persuade of us in doing our best! You could say that this was just the first class and it will get better but the people I know don't like it either! Five hundred meters marathons for practice? Two hundred of each of the basic crunches, pushups and other insane stuff you devised? A crazy and loud 'Captain' who call us wimps at every turn? Forgive me if my idea of entertainment and fun is more the old fashioned way instead of yours!” I said as calm as I could.
“You are just complaining about this stuff because you don't have the guts to stand to the challenge and work hard for it.”
“AH! And there is the problem. Have all of you considered that most of us don’t want to be part of the challenge?”
“You don't know anything of our school spirit! Of course they want to improve themselves! You are just an outsider who happens to be studying here. We can ask anyone and everybody will say that they want to win the league.”
“Everybody will say yes to not create a polemic about it, especially if they feel the pressure of you or your team in their backs. I don’t think there is much to say so I'll take my leave.”
I started walking away but I immediately was turned around and we were facing each other. The girls of this school are really strong.
“I told you before; you won’t leave until you say you will apologize.”
“I won’t apologize for something as silly as this. As a matter of fact, you should be angry to the people who spread what I said. I told this only to Twilight in private, PRIVATE! Alone! But the rest of this school of mostly assholes wanted something to talk about because they were bored and made this mess to compensate their sad existences. Is the school really this lame that a simple gossip is big news all of the-”
“SHUT UP! I won’t allow you to keep insulting my school and the people who studies in it.”
“Why? Are you so blindly loyal to the beliefs of this place that you will turn the eye away of its problems? Crystal Prep was a nightmarish place in social terms of acceptance, but at least they respected privacy way more than here. The problem Twilight and I had would be insignificant there, nearly nonexistent to be exact. You know why? Because nobody would even care about us! We were nobodies!”
“That’s because that school is full of selfish and arrogant people, just like you! I don't know why Twilight, Lightbulb and Dancer wants to be friendly with you!”
“Don't dare to talk about those two! You don't have the right to criticize my friendship with them!”
“You don’t have it either with mine or the school’s environment! My friends and I have been through more than you could imagine! Whatever bonds you have with your friends are only as shallow as-“
“Listen you stupid bitch!” My patience was depleting “Don’t ever tell me that my bonds with them are shallow or worthless! You don’t know anything about us during our time on middle school! And since when your friendships are more valuable and better than the rest of us to make comparisons? Just because you are the most popular group of school gives you the right to say that? If all six of you think that your little circle of happy-going friends is more important and amazing than the rest of us, then allow me to give you a message perfectly clear; I Don't Give a Shit about You!”
I must calm down, this is not worth it.
“I didn't mean to say that ours friendships are more important than the others!”
“Now you try to play the apologetic gal? Fuck you, Rainbow Dash. I won't apologize to anyone or hear more of your bullshit. Especially at something that wasn’t my fault to begin with. Blame your school full of idiocy for these childish attitude of yours. I am outta here!”
“Wait, this is important to Spitfire and the third graders! This is their last change!”
I didn’t care; I quickly left the spot and walked aimlessly to anyplace I could find.
“Jerk!”
And so, my break time was ruined. I left my breakfast in the backyard with her back there.
