Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara were still being held in their classroom while the rest of class was enjoying their recess. Every once in a while Sweetie would look in Diamond's direction, and in turn she would glare back at her, cause Sweetie to shrink away. Why couldn't they be friends? Why couldn't they put their differences aside and see the good side of each other? Why couldn't they stop fighting after 3 years of the same routine everyday?

"Diamond Tiara...can I ask you something? Without being made fun of?" Sweetie asked her. Diamond turned around and faced her, She glared daggers at Sweetie for a moment, before sighing and softening her features. She moved a seat closer to Sweetie and looked her in the eyes muzzle-to-muzzle. It took some willpower for Sweetie to suppress the heat rising in her cheeks.

"Yes Sweetie Belle...what do you want to ask?" she responded, and she noticed that DT's voice wasn't sassy, arrogant or even flat. For the first time, Sweetie Belle heard Diamond's voice on a normal level, it was sweet and full of compassion.

"Well...why do you hate the Cutie Mark Crusaders so much? We've never done anything wrong to you or Silver Spoon, and i'm tired of always competing with you...Diamond, we've been fighting for 3 years now...it's boring and hurtful." Sweetie concluded by wiping a tear from her eye with one of her fore hooves, she hadn't meant to start crying, but the reality of the truth sunk in and made her emotions rise up. Diamond seemed to be conflicted however, as she made a face that bordered between anger and sadness. She bit her lip for a moment, raised her hoof....and stomped it against one of the desks. Sweetie shrunk back, feeling scared and upset, but DT didn't hit her, in fact she lowered her head for a moment, and when she looked back at Sweetie Belle there were tears in her eyes and a frown on her face.

"The truth....Sweetie is that I always make fun of you girls because I-I'm...I'M JEALOUS!" she wailed, her eyes leaking more heavily.

"I'm jealous...because you 3 have so much fun together, even when things don't seem to go your way or if something turns bad, you still have fun, you still smile. All the times you've proven me wrong, or avoided trouble...I just wish I could be more like you. Your also extremely pretty, gorgeous even...and your adorable! Your giggle is so bubbly, and your smile makes my chest flutter..." Sweetie was in shock, the earlier suppressed blush came back full force and coated her white face.

"Your not saying...what I-I think you are...r-r-right?" Sweetie stuttered, her eyes as wide as dinner plates and her pupils dilated.

"I am...i'm saying I have a crush on you Sweetie Belle....I always have for the last 3 years..."

Author's Note

In the comments people have said that my chapters need to be longer, I will listen to them. The reason this chapter is so short because I have a plan that will help me practice writing longer chapters, so please just bear with me until my chapters can be 10,000 words long lol...
