The Principal & The Student

The duo soon arrived at the place Cinch was talking about and to neither of their surprise it was called Zesty Gourmand's.

"It's ending in a few days because it's moving to a new location in the city." Cinch explained, "This is where my parents met up."

"Well that explains that good looking dress." Skull said

"Can I not wear what I want to wear to celebrate 40 years?"

"Good point." Skull said before the duo went inside

Soon the duo found a seat on the outside and ordered themselves some steak.

"I've been meaning to ask. Where did you get that Crystal Prep Uniform?" Cinch asked

"I took it from the laundry." Skull said, "Clean laundry though, clean laundry. It was in a pile labeled unused. Took a long to time to piece it together because of my size and all, but I finally got it together."

"Also, why do you hate your old spying job so much?" Cinch asked

"Because back then I only did it for the money." Skull explained, "Back then I was so depressed, I cared little for anyone and everyone or even myself. I did the whole spying thing because I wanted to know what the lunch menu was early. Then it spiraled out of control when I did it again for a quote friend unquote, who wanted me to know if his girlfriend was cheating on him. Was I successful? Eeyup. And then it all went down hill from there."

"You only did it for the money? Not exactly original." Cinch pointed out

"Well back then I was so depressed I didn't really care for anything." Skull said, "I only managed to get over it because.... well... the reason I'm ashamed of my spying."

"And that is?" Cinch asked

"I... I became addicted to drugs because I was so depressed." Skull said

Almost... almost like my alcohol addiction.... Cinch thought in shock

"I continued until my senior year when I was found out and sent to rehab. I got over my addiction... but the memory remains..." Skull groaned, "I used my part time job as a means to get the key to my eternal life ruiner."

"Oh my god... I... I am so sorry-"

"Don't be. It's what I deserve for taking my life down a path I can never return from." Skull said, "It's one of those moments in my life that's made me into the person I am today though, I couldn't be anymore thankful. It is both a blessing, and a cruse I must wear. Very few know about it, and now you are among those few who know."

"I wish I could've been there to help you."

"You're not the first to tell me that. But there's nothing you could've done. I was too far gone already then to be helped."

His spying lead to him making a choice he can never take back. Is this a sign of what's to come should I continue my drinking habits? Cinch thought

Soon their food arrived and they began to eat. But over the course, Cinch couldn't help but wonder. If he couldn't be saved then, could it be possible for him to be saved before he made another choice like that again? She knew for a fact that rehab never usually works. There's always some kind of catch to being out of rehab, or they're lying that they were cured. To her knowledge, he sounded and looked pretty cured of his addiction. But... there was always the chance he could go back at any time. His body was just a ticking time bomb waiting to go off with drug addiction once again. Maybe there was more to this boy than she thought. More than just another potential ally for Crystal Prep. If she played her cards right... he might just be a lover. She never thought she would admit it, but she was in love with a teenager. And to be honest? She didn't care.

"So. What's your work like?" Cinch asked

"I work at Pony Joe's Coffee Shop. It's not much but it makes ends meet. I'm saving up so me and my two moms can move out of here. There's no reason for us to stick around here." Skull said

Move away?! When she just met him?! Cinch WOULDN'T stand for it. There had to be something she could do to make sure he stayed. But what?

"Moms? Don't you have a father?" Cinch asked

"I never knew him." Skull said, "One of my moms worked as a stripper and ended up getting pregnant after a dude offered her a good night. I never met him. All I know is my two lesbian mothers who don't bother to put any cloths on and just have sex at home while I'm out actually getting money to pay the bills. I just wish those two were like you. You're sophisticated, have higher standards, you run a clean and organized school, you're just everything my moms are not. And I like you for it."

"You... really like me?" Cinch asked

"Yeah, and by that, I mean, like like." Skull said

"You know what? I like like you too." Cinch said

Unknown to the group Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash saw them from a far and were completely in shock.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" The duo said together
