Masquerade

  You see, I used to be BFFs with Diamond Tiara. I was her second-in-command. We ruled the school together with a few other fillies. We had known each other since my first time at the Ponyville Park when I was three years old. Our parents bonded and we played together. We NEVER used to have fights.

  Until one day, I saw Diamond Tiara come to school in a brand-new pair of pony-socks. I asked her why she shopped without me and Diamond Tiara got all mad and said that we didn't have to do EVERYTHING together. I said that I thought that was exactly what we did. She screamed, " REALLY?!?! So if I jumped off a cliff, then you would do it too??? HUH?!?!?!?! Is THAT it, Noi??????!!!!!!!!!!! Or if I accidentally got hit or run over by a cart? Or eaten by a manticore?? Would you want to get hit or run over by a cart, or eaten by a manticore also?!? Get real, Noi!!!!!!! You are NOT my blonde clone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I think it's time for you to GROW UP AND GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  Hot tears stung my eyelids, threatening to break through. I buried my head in my hooves. When I looked up, I saw Diamond Tiara stomping towards the classroom. all that day at school, Diamond Tiara had told the rest of the girls how much of a "baby" I was, and they all laughed at me and ignored me if not laughing. I felt horrible.

But not as horrible as I felt when after school that day I saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

TOGETHER.

  Diamond Tiara wanted to be that fatso's best friend. She even gave the stupid girl the friendship necklace! OUR FRIENDSHIP NECKLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silver Spoon DOES have an enviable pelt, even for Diamond Tiara. But that is NO excuse to drop me!!!!!!

  What is WRONG with Diamond Tiara??!! I hadn't done ANYTHING to her, and she and her new friends are treating me like crap.

  Diamond Tiara's group does seem to like Silver Spoon as a friend. They give her nice compliments here and there and have conversations about fashion but they don't invite her over for sleepovers and stuff. Thank Celestia.

That time when I'd lost Diamond Tiara as a friend was at least nineteen days ago.

And I've been thinking ever since: Silver Spoon is fat. If I was fat too(fat but fashionable) will I gain my popularity back?

Yes.

Friday morning I woke up for school at six and made pancakes, which I drenched in butter, syrup, and powdered sugar.

  I also packed a great big lunch of five triple chocolate cupcakes, melted butter for a drink, a side of ten sticks of butter, and the main course was six buttered cheddar biscuits.

  Throughout the day, blocked out miss Cheerilee's lectures and lessons, and daydreamed about being the fattest and most popular girl in school. And when that happens, no pony would even CARE about Silver Spoon or Diamond Tiara anymore. They'll be too focused watching ME. Fat, fashionable, popular Noi.

Miss C. passed out our math quiz grades today. I had totally forgotten.

C-. That was my grade. But, whatever. No pony's gonna care about my grades when I'm fat and fashionable.

I threw the crap in the trash and when Silver Spoon passed me, I got a sneak at her paper. A-.

  When it was time for lunch, I gulped down my food quicker than anyone else did. I felt more bloated than I ever had in my entire life. I knew this getting-obese thing was going to be hard, but I at least had to try.
