Life's great mystery

    "So," Apple Jack said "what you been up to in Vanhoover."

   Caramel looked at his friend as he sat down his suit case on the bed he will be sleeping on for the next few months. "Not much has happened" he said with a hit of saddens .

   "Come on sugar cube" the Orange mare said " I know when you lie to me and it hurts me that you can't trust me."  She looked in to his eyes and caramel saw nothing but someone who cared. Caramel knew he had to tell her, after all she's the only friend he has left

   "I ..." He mumbled.

   Apple Jack looked at him, unable to hear she asked. " what was that sugar cube?"

   "I came out to the school" he said about to burst in to tears " and nothing is okay. I'm getting beat up all the time and the school board refuses to do any thing about it."

   Seeing the sadness in his eyes applejack knew she had to comfort her friend. "Oh Caramel," said the Orange mare, "I'm so sorry that happened to you. When did you come out?"

  Caramel felt some comfort in applejack's actions. "Two months after you left" he said looking down at the wooden floor. He starts crying as he remembers the betrayal he felt when his friends turned on him.

  "I just don't understand why people are against people like you," Apple jack said to cheer up her friend. "I thought people would be more accepting then in granny's time."

  "At least my family accepts me." Said the colt. it was true. Somewhat he thought to himself "my mom does think its a phase though"

  Applejack went form a comforting face to a face of pure disgust. "I can't believe someone said that to you," she said, "especially your mother."

  Just as caramel was about to say something a hardy "soups on everypony" came from down stairs.thank you he thought to himself. It's not that he didn't want to answer applejack it's just that particular subject is very touchy.

  "We'll continue this after dinner" said the mare as they made their way down stairs
