Chapter 3
What's Wrong with my Mind

**Minor Self-harm**

Sunset knocked on the door of her second-period class. Trying to prepare herself for all the questions she knew she will receive as soon as she takes her seat. After all, Twilight and Rainbow are in this class.

Taking a deep breath before sunset enters the classroom, she opened the door.

Not even glancing at her peers, Sunset gave her note from the office to the teacher.

Heading to her seat while avoiding eye contact was difficult. Slouching down in her chair Sunset stared straight at the board, apparently, they have a pop quiz. Groaning, as she did what the rest of the class was told, she took out her pencil.

"Oh, Miss Shimmer I forgot to ask you for your homework." Mr. Adams asked.

"No, sir." Sunset felt the eyes of her friends burn into the back of her skull. Since she came in late to class, she really couldn't care less. Her thoughts were drifting somewhere else. Somewhere she didn't want to be.

"Psst...Sunset" She felt a light poke on her back. Turning around slowly, Sunset made eye contact with Rainbow Dash.

"Yes...?" She knew she shouldn't be acting like this, she needs to act normal. They cant get suspic-
"Are you ok?" Too late... Twilight and Rainbow eyed her suspiciously. Suddenly a smooth reply came out of her mouth without hesitation. It was pretty stupid, but it was believable enough.

"My neighbor needed help with her apartment, she doesn't trust the guy down the hall, says he's just trouble. Come to think of it, he goes to school here. But anyway, don't think much of it." I mean it wasn't a lie, the guy next door is trouble according to my neighbor\

Lunch was hell...

Sunset wasn't even in a mood to eat. She couldn't control her thoughts, it all just kept replaying in her head. Over and over...she felt like going mad at this point.

The girls were silent-as to which Sunset didn't notice-Sunset's eyes looked glazed over. Confused Rainbow tried to snap her out of her daze. With no prevail, the girls didn't know what to do. It didn't last long though, Sunset blinked a couple of times then continued her salad.

"Ah sugar-cube ar' ya alright there?" Applejack's voice was the only thing heard at their lunch table.

Sunset heard her friend's question, she was going to reply but an unwelcomed thought crept into her mind.

If she were your friend..why would she have turned on you so fast? Just like the others

She didn't want to believe it. But she just couldn't stop it.

Once the bell rang, Sunset trashed her leftovers and made her way out of the cafeteria. The walk to her locker felt longer. It didn't feel right, this was where she was sobbing, were her friends left her...

"Are you ok? You've just been standing there looking at your locker. I mean its a pretty cool locker but.." She recognized that voice. I mean how could she not. He was the one she hurt the most during her rule before the fall formal.

"I'm ok Flash, just a lot on my mind" Opening her locker, Sunset took out her textbooks.

"Cool, cool.." Ugh, you can just feel the akwardness Sunset mentally slapped herself. I don't need any more problems than I already have right now.

"So where are you heading?" Not that Sunset cared right now, she did..well not really, she really couldn't care less about his classes.

"I've got Mrs. Peppermint for ELA, you?"

"Same"

"Cool"

Slamming her locker Sunset couldn't take it anymore. All her troubles keep piling up, the noise of the hallway made her feel dizzy, the stress made her feel sick, she wanted to cry, she feels regret for ignoring her friends, yet she also doesn't want to speak to them, ex-boyfriends making everything awkward, and last but not least...

The itch... She can still feel it. Only this time it's burning, calling-no begging her to open the box under her sink. She feels like she's losing against it, sooner or later she will find herself huddled against a wall, burying a sharp metal razor into her skin. The image made her itch worse.

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Sunset didn't say anything to Flash as she side-stepped him. She had to find that guy...the one who her neighbor talks about. The one who goes to this school. The one whom she saw slipping a switchblade into his pocket...That switchblade was all she could think of right now...

Ditching her next class, Sunset ran around the building. She knew he likes to skip his classes, she picked that up from a few of her classmates.

Her hands began to sweat, she felt like her arms were burning...

I need that blade...
