Gossip Centre
Homework Pressures
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash's POV:
I know Twilight is a 'teacher's pet', but it went way too far today. I kind of feel sick when I think about it. It all started when I had to submit my English homwork. We could chose our topic, it just had creative, a narrative. I wanted to do a romance story, and who better to do so then Twilight and Timber, 'T and T' as our whole school called them. You probably know they have something sessions at lunch every two days, and everyone knew it, even though it's strictly against school rules.
I walked up to Twilight, back when we were friends, and I asked Twilight how she felt about Timber, and she blushed and looked away. But fortunetly, her friends from science club told me everything, as I wrote in my journal.
Let me clear up one thing. Gossip is a drug. It's addictive and harms you. I have spread exactly 200 pieces of news or gossip. I'm famous for being a gossiper, I always have the scoop. And the whole grade knew my 'minions' as everyone said, were Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. They didn't mind, because they were becoming popular in their grade for being friends with a senior.
Anyway, I questioned other guys and Timber, about how they felt about certain girls. And I couldn't resist the opportunity to ask the grade loser how he felt when he got rejected by Rarity. Now, that's nkt mean. People come to him and say worse stuff. So I was going easy on him.
So I recorded all this news for my story, and began to write. My creative juices flowed amazingly, as I just wrote like I've ever written. But of course, things went south. Very south. My parents, somehow, got a copy of my homework, and realised what I was writing. They didn't aknowledge how good it was though.
They got mad. Very mad. But parents forgive, but they banned my phone. What they don't realise, is that I'm not a five year old anymore. They expect boys and girls to skip around hand in hand, stupid but innocent. But that's not how life works. Eventually, relashionships become complicated.
I was a gossip centre, and my parents had know idea. But then the day came. Today. I had told on Twilight for her over affair with Timber at school, right? I didn't realise how vindictive the girl was, until today.
She went and told on me! For what? Writing down people's feelings in a diary. I laughed. Seriously? The teacher was going to just brush it off. It was obvious she was getting me back for telling on her. If it jad been left up to Principal Celestia, it would have been all sunshine and rainbows. But it wasn't.
"Rainbow Dash. If I understand, you wrote down people's feelings in a diary?" asked Vice-Principal Luna, when I entered her room.
"Yes madam" There was no point denying it. Who cares? My diary!
"Can you please explain why you thought this was appropriate?" asked Luna.
No point wasting time. I just told her I needed to write a report and used them. Simple! Just don't mention other gossip.
"I don't think this is too serious. Perhaps you should bring in your journal"
If I could go back in time, I'd stop my idiot self from saying-"Sure. Thank you"
Later, I showed my diary, and Luna called out Twilight and the others involved. I swear Twilight had a tiny smirk on her face. Buck you girl!
And I am crying writing this. That girl put on such a peformance, dabbing tears. She said,"I felt soo embarrassed" And everyone else in my class, turned there backs on me. Even girls who were my 'friends' They lied to get on Luna's good side. No one defended me. It hurt. A lot. My friends and classmates, turned and betrayed me, to just get on the teacher's good side. I acted cool, like none of this mattered to me. And then when Luna sent everyone inside, I cried. I cried like I've ever cried, sobbing hysterically.
It wasn't that I was going to be kicked out. My parents, my friends, my respect. Everythibg went out the window as Luna yelled at me. I didn't mention it, I feel worse because I blamed the CMC's. For everything. I said, "They gossiped, not me"
But it was all me. Watching their expression as I turned on them, I wanted to die. Everyone turned on me, and I was acting stupid. The CMC's said they helped, but it was me. Luna thanked them, and told them to go. This was before I cried.
"I'm surprised you showed no emotion before. I would have long before" saud Luna, as I choked in my tears, "Go to the bathroom and wash up"
I looked at my tear streaked face in the bathroom. I couldn't go back to class. I just couldn't. So I hid in the bathrooms. They cubicle next door was occupied for three minutes straight. "Which creep would it be" I thought. The door opened. It was my old friend, Crystal Shards. She was the only one who defended me a little, being my BFF, and partner in crime. I dropped my bag and hugged her tightly, crying into her shoulder.
"Hey, where's the tough Dashie I know?" she asked playfully.
"She's gone" I sobbed.
"Oh well. This one is cute too"
I laughed into my tears. The one girl who still cared was right here.
"I can't go to class" I said, wiping my tears.
"Come on Dash, you have to. But if you don't want to, it's okay" said Crystal.
"Thanks Crystal. See ya later?"
"I'll tell the class the truth. Twilight will pay for messing with my BFF" snarled Crystal.
"Calm down. Whatever, ignore her" Usually I was the one who needed calming down.
"If you say so Dash" Crystal said, leaving.
I sat down. I needed to do something. The teachers would wonder where I was. So I just walked around school. The same old hallways, doors. I walked to one class in paricular.
"Um, excuse me, could I please see Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle?" I asked a short curly green haired teacher.
"Sure. Girls, someome needs to see you" called the teacher.
Three familiar face came outside, and warmed my heart.
"I'm so sorry girls. Can you ever forgive me? I was stupid and fool, any bad word, just please forgive me" I pleaded.
The CMC's looked at each other, and burst out laughing
"Of course. It nay have hurt a little, but we deserved it" said Applebloom
"I didn't expect you to apologise Dash. You're not that type" giggled Sweetie Belle.
"Don't you dare. You'll ruin my rep" I said coolly, as the gurls chuckled.
"But we need to chat with someone first" said Scootaloo
Author's Note
This was the hardest chapter. You may think, "Such a baby" But seriously, I feels heart wrenching. I wrote it in Rainbow's POV, because, it was too long otherwise, and it's easier to connect.
