Chapter 2
The bell rang, signifying the end of class and the beginning of lunch period. The students filed out into the halls and went to their lockers or headed to the cafeteria.
Applejack searched the halls with sharp eyes. She spotted her target and marched down the hall against the flow of traffic, barely noticing that her friends were right behind her. This Anon-A-Miss crap needed to be dealt with, and she was determined to clear this up once and for all.
"Sunset!" Applejack called, quickening her pace.
Sunset didn't turn around, but it was obvious that she had heard her, because she started walking faster.
"Sunset, stop!" Applejack shouted, quickly becoming frustrated.
Sunset had all but broke into a run now. Suddenly a blue blur ran past Applejack and tackled Sunset to the floor.
Applejack stopped sprinting and facepalmed as Sunset was dragged into a nearby closet. Dammit, Dash....
Applejack flung the door open to Sunset struggling as Rainbow held her arms behind her back.
"Dash, let 'er go." Applejack demanded, placing her hands on her hips.
"But-"
"Let her go!"
Rainbow released Sunset and walked out of the closet, hands raised in surrender. The others backed up to allow Sunset to leave the closet. Sunset stood in front of the group, but wouldn't look at them, her arms crossed tightly across her chest.
"Look, ya think this is easy fer us?" Applejack asked, her voice tinged with frustrated sadness. "Ya think we enjoy th' idea that one a' our friends stabbed us in the back? We're th' ones whose secrets're gettin' passed around. We're the ones gettin' laughed at! And you stompin' off an' throwin' a hissy fit ain't helpin' things!"
Sunset's arms fell to her sides, but she still wouldn't look at them.
Applejack took a step forward, her arms held out imploringly. "All we want is the truth, Sunset. We just wanna find out what's goin' on."
Sunset raised her head and glared at them, her bloodshot eyes tinged with heartbreak. "Applejack, if you all would just stop and think for just one minute, you would realize that I have literally nothing to gain from this! I went through hell after the Fall Formal, and I was only able to endure it because I had you five. Why, after all the shit I went through, would I choose to go back to being alone? Why, in the hell, after everything we've been through together as friends, after all the work I've done to improve my reputation, would I throw all of that away, just to post some stupid pictures?! I may have been a bitch, AJ, but I'm not stupid!"
Silence fell on the group as they contemplated Sunset's words. Sunset sighed, running a hand through her hair. "It doesn't matter. Like I said, I can't prove I didn't do it."
"But this can." Everyone turned to see Pinkie scrolling through her phone. "Anon-A-Miss just made another post." She held her phone up for the others to see and pointed to the screen. "Look at the time stamp. This was posted fifteen seconds ago!"
This simple sentence sent a ripple effect throughout the group as their eyes widened. Sunset had been standing in front of them in all that time, without a phone or computer in sight. She couldn't have posted that. Anon-A-Miss had finally slipped up.
Rainbow Dash rubbed her arm nervously, her face a mask of guilt. "I...guess you didn't do it after all."
Sunset sent her a glare that all but screamed, No shit, Sherlock!
Rainbow averted her gaze. She knew she deserved it.

About time someone that out, seriuosly, why don't people in the EQ-verse use their heads in dire situations.

I can see it now..Applebloom trying to tell Applejack that Sunset is guilty, and accidentally cluing her sister in that she is the real culprit.
7810196

Yeah, the original Anon-A-Miss story really bothered me. It's like the friendship lesson of trust didn't seem to stick. At least ur version Sunset won't be alone, but she will still feel a bit steamed. Hopefully, it will pass and they can work together to uncover ANON-A-MISS. BTW, as a suggestion, how about they include Flash? Sure, Sunset and Flash had history, but perhaps he could at least have some kind of role? I mean, he was introduced in the first Equestria Girls, but then his role seemed to diminish and he's basically an extra. Just an extra despite having history with Sunset.
7811742 The original comic was pretty likely set before Rainbow Rocks, at which point Sunset's friends only said they trusted her while still treating her like dirt. That they would just walk out on her is perfectly in-character there.
7813099 It apparently was originally before Rainbow Rocks, but the writer used the journal and instead of changing the journal scene, set it post Rainbow Rocks. That's just what I've heard, but he has confirmed it takes place after the movie (and it has to, due to the journal).
7810344 Because they're stupid people and teenagers?
this part reminds me of a comment I posted in a discussion in the Anon-a-Miss group
here is mine and here is the source

Because it's the comics, and with almost every single issue, they always have to compromise the characters for the sake of the story.
that response was perfect!
She makes a great point!
Yes, yes you do

My Sunny girl is waaaay smarter... probably more than the whole CHS combined
I was worried that the low wordcount would lead to breakneck pacing, but this has been rather reasonable so far.
