"Twilight?"

"What?", I snap irately.

"Are you sure you want to go to Canterlot High?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you'd be completely rubbish at making friends"

My face flushes. She is completely right, though. Sunset is only becoming my friend because she has to. Not because she wants to.

"I mean come on, Twilight. You turned into a freaking monster!", sneers Sour Sweet.

"When was the last time you had a shower?!

As I walk home, I start fuming. I will get those nasty girls. I just said nasty. Wow, I really am a dork. No, I'm not, I'm intelligent. And crazy. I talk to myself, apparently.

But Sour Sweet scares me. The way she talks, the way she walks, the way she eats, the way she looks. So cool, so perfect, so likeable. Well, I don't like her. I don't really like my brother that much, either. Since mom and dad left (which I don't blame them for doing, by the way) he's just been so distant. He is is a new relationship with Cadance and he just doesn't have time for me.

I don't really like spending time with him anymore because he doesn't seem to like being with me and ever since he dumped me at the wedding because of Candace's mean twin sister, I get a fluttering feeling that it's going to happen again.

I don't want my parents because they just worry about Shining. They like him better though they try to hide it. But I'm too shrewd, too clever, too observing. They'd never be able to fool me.

"Hey Twilight, good to see ya!"

That's Rainbow Dash. Shes trying to act nice so I'll be kind.

"Hey Rainbow Dash! I forgot you'd be here.", I say, to act nonchalant.

"Well that's about odd, considering we're the whole reason you came"

Maybe not all, though it probably accounts for about 75% of the reason", puts in Sunset Shimmer.

"Yeah!!! Yeah, you see...I'msogladyoucameIwasscaredyoudidn'twanttocomebecauseIhaven'tthrownyoua'Gladyou'rebacktonormal'partybutpleasedon'tbemadatmeandhere'sacookie!" yells Pinkie Pie in the loudest and quickest voice she could manage, sticking a cookie in my face.

The rest of school is a blur. I go home worrying, and when I look up and see a dark creepy alleyway, like the one you see in horror movies. Ah! There they are! The girls are standing in a huddle with Sunset looking worried. They haven't seen me yet, so i bob out of sight.

"I know you mean well, Sunset, but she just seems one bad person", whispers Rainbow Dash.

"Darling, don't take it to heart, but, not everyone is as redeemable as you", says Rarity.

"It's just that she seems so sad. I think she got bullied before", says Sunset Shimmer with a mixed look on her face.

"You think!? It's clear to me that she needs a helping hand, or maybe even twelve," says Pinkie sticking her hands out in front of her.

"Well, she did try to destroy everyone," reasons Fluttershy.

"What I don't get is how you were so forgiving to me yet so unforgiving to her."

"Look, how about we pretend to be her friend but don't invite her over on major parties", tries Rainbow Dash.

"Fine", says Sunset.

I walk away, feeling crushed. They are not my real friends and I don't want to look at them ever again. But I have to. It's the rules.
