Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

I held my head in my hand and groaned quietly to myself. No offense to Derpy but her dad could talk for hours. I didn’t understand a word that came out of his mouth in this class. Based on the confused expressions of Rainbow sitting next to me and the other students, they were in the same boat. Well everyone except Sunset of course. She clearly understood everything he said. I felt a finger tapping me on the shoulder and I glanced over at Rainbows sheepish smile.

“Hey Cloud?” She whispered. I brushed of my blonde hair out of my eyes and smiled back. We had known each other for years.

“Yeah?” I asked.

“You hung out with Sunset and the other of the weather club this week. Did she uh mention me at all?” She asked hopefully.

“Sorry Dash,” I shook my head and her face fell. “She never mentioned you or the other girls at all. I did hear a rumor about her and Applejack talking out their issues but I’m not entirely sure how true it is. You how know how highschool is. People start rumors and then everyone runs with it.”

Rainbow sighed and slammed her head on the desk. I looked around to make sure the teacher wasn’t watching and leaned over, patting my rainbow haired friend on the back.

“She will come around. Just give it time,” I reassured her. “She was nice when she hung out with us. Distant, but nice.”

“I don’t know about that Kicker. She probably hates me.”

“Sunset doesn’t really have it in her to hate anyone I don’t think. Not anymore at least. She’s sitting up front. Maybe you could give her a note,” I suggested. Rainbow shrugged and stole a pencil off my desk. “Hey! I needed that.”

“I was going to return it,” Rainbow scoffed. “So uptight. Aren’t you the one who’s telling others to loosen up?” I rolled my eyes as she kept writing and tossed the pencil on my desk before folding it up.

“Thanks.” I put the pencil back in the groove on my desk as Rainbow pulled out a rubber band from her pocket. “What are you doing?”

She shoved two of her pencils into the holes of her notebook and placed the rubber band around then.

“If you had your own pencil, why did you use mine?” I asked in slight frustration.

“I forgot I had them,” Rainbow admitted sheepishly. She placed the note on the rubber band as I took a sip of my water sitting on the desk. Raindrops and Blossomforth were on the opposite side of the room watching curiously as she pulled the rubber band back, sending the note flying at high speeds through the air. My eyes widened and I choked a bit on my water as the note slammed into the back of Sunset’s head.

“You absolute manic,” I coughed after forcing the water down my throat. Sunset jumped and rubbed the back of her head.

“I didn’t mean to hit her!” Rainbow hissed. “That was an accident. It was supposed to arc over her head and land in front of her. Fucking rubber bands. They’re so unpredictable.”

Blossomforth had her hand pressed over her mouth in shock while Raindrops rolled her eyes, biting her lip. Either to stop herself from laughing or yelling at Dash, I don’t know. Probably a bit of both.

“It’s not hard to control a rubber band Dash. Just don’t shoot it as fast as you did and you’re good.”

Sunset picked up the note and looked around with narrowed eyes and I gulped a bit. Maybe giving Dash the idea of a note might have been a bad idea. I think she was more mad about being shot in the back of the head at almost point blank range.

She unfolded the note and started reading before crushing it in her hand and letting it drop the floor. Rainbow sighed and slumped further down in her chair.

“Well that didn’t work,” I commented.

“No shit Cloudkicker.”

Sunset gave Rainbow a look before she turned around and started writing. I had kinda hoped she would shoot a note back into Dashs face. As much as she is my friend, I’d die laughing on the ground right here right now.

“Did you know she was going to shoot Sunset in the head with it?” Raindrops asked as she leaned against a locker next to mine. I set my school books neatly in the top row before glancing at her.

“Of course not! I expected her to pass the note up, not use the express delivery way.”

“It seems like something Dash would do,” Blossomforth commented. She tossed a small bean bag into the air and caught it before setting it in my locker.

“Doing what? Shooting someone in the head with a note or passing notes in general?” I asked as I tossed the bean bag into my backpack.

“Both really.”

“Move. You’re on my locker,” I glanced up at a grey girl standing in front of Raindrops.

“Say it nicely and I will,” Raindrops shot back.

“Move bitch,” the girl grumbled as she shoved Raindrops into me. We both stumbled against the lockers as Blossomforth gasped, stopping us from falling.

“Thanks Blossomforth,” I sighed before giving the girl a dirty look who had just shoved us. Granted, she only shoved Rainy but still minor detail. “Was that seriously necessary? All you had to do was ask her to move and she would have.”

“Because I don’t care,” she answered as she started tossing her books in her messy locker carelessly. “You were on my locker. I needed in my locker. I moved you so I could get into my locker.”

“That’s it,” Raindrops grumbled before punching the girl in the jaw.

“Raindrops!” I exclaimed and gave her a dirty look. “Seriously?” The girl picked herself off the floor and rubbed her chin.

“Bitch,” she grunted as she wiped some blood off her chin. She swung and hit Raindrops in the jaw herself and Raindrops stumbled backwards.

“Alright enough!” I knocked the other girls legs out from under her and she fell backwards. I shoved Raindrops towards the exit. “Get out of here. Drop it. Let’s go. Now. My house.”

Raindrops wiped her mouth off and glared at the girl behind me as I kept pushing her gently.

“Fine.”
