I walked out of school on Friday that week, grinning like a one hundred ninety-three pound idiot.

"I'm as fit as a fiddle and I'm feeling fine!" I chanted.

"Silver Spoon, can we talk for a sec?" A voice asked.

I looked to my right to see no other than Diamond Tiara.

I stamped my hoof. "What do you want, Diamond Tiara?!" I snapped.

  DT cringed. Even after all she'd done to me, I felt for her. My words were a little harsh. That's when I had realized that Diamond Tiara hadn't come up to me to be mean, sarcastic, or downright evil.

  "Silver Spoon," Diamond Tiara started. "I just wanted to apologize for how rude I've been to you these past couple of weeks. I was furious that you hadn't given me the chair on the first day of school, and stuff. I was also jealous of your good grades, and how pretty you were. I'm so, so sorry I made fun of your being chubby, it was such a terrible thing to do. I want to be friends, Silver Spoon. I would understand if you don't accept after how mean I've been to you, but I at least want you to have this."

  Diamond Tiara reached into her open designer satchel and pulled out the most beautiful pearl necklace I had ever seen in my entire life. The pearls were a rare teal, gleaming rainbow light from every possible angle. She put the necklace around me and smiled. And it wasn't her usual sarcasm-heavy smirk. It was a real, genuine, smile that Diamond Tiara was giving ME. It looked nice on her.

I knew what was the right thing to do.

  "I accept your apology." I sighed. "That was nice of you, Diamond Tiara. And I'm sure we'll be great friends." I smiled at her. "And how did you know I love blue?"

Diamond Tiara's icy blue eyes melted. She hugged me tight. I hugged her back.

"So let me get this straight," Gummy said to me through the pager. "She apologized and extended the hoof of friendship?"

I laughed. "Gummy, this is the twentieth time going over this subject. There isn't really much left to tell."

  "Silvy, this is BIG. You just accepted an apology from the same girl that called you fat and ugly. You continue to impress me. You used to not be able to stand being in the same room as this girl, and you now accepted her offer to be friends with her."

  "That means a lot. You're right, we used to hate each other, but it wasn't worth it after a while. It took up too much energy to keep attacking each other."

"That's why you're my BFF."

  " I hope that me and Diamond Tiara could keep our relationship civil like it's been. Things are crazy enough at school with all the extra drama."

"How's the weight loss thingy been goin'?"

"Awesome. Your bars are good tasting and great for my body, and the workouts are a lot of fun."

  "I'm glad things have been working out for you, Silvy. Look, I gotta run, because it's six o' clock dinnertime, but I'll call you tomorrow, 'kay?"

  "Bye." I hung up and sat on my bed. I looked at my new pearl necklace. That necklace was only the start of what would turn out to be a very beautiful friendship.

The End.                                                                       For now, anyway.                              Sequel coming soon.    OOPS! I almost forgot.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
