I spedwalk down the hallway, making sure to avoid the multiple arguing students. They were arguing over the most petty of things, like crushes being revealed and such. Stupid things really. I had zero interest in gossip but I was interested in finding my target. We had chosen Fluttershy because she was the most gullible of them all along with Pinkie. Typically I’d feel terrible for this but they treated Sunset poorly so all bets were off the table.

I passed Trixie and her two friends, the lavender one wiping away tears because of some embarrassing secret of hers away. Trixie and the other looked furious as they tried comforting her. I didn’t get along well with Trixie. Granted I didn’t know much about her but I did know she was very egotistical like a certain rainbow haired girl I knew. I still felt a pang of sympathy for the magician and her friend.

I saw a flash of pink hair and I grinned. She was alone with made this so much easier. We had planned ahead if she was with any of her friends to try again later. If she was with Pinkie we would try to get her to take the cupcakes instead. She’s gullible too. We also made brownies but I accidentally left them with Lyra. Thankfully our lockers are all in a row so she had left them sitting in my locker.

“Fluttershy dear!” I called out as I finally caught up the girl. The shy girl turned around slowly and stared at me.

“Oh uhm hi Octavia,” she whispered. “What’s up?” I will admit, I always did like her. Not like that of course but you know what I mean. She used to be a walking model of kindness.

“Oh nothing,” I gave a laugh. “I have a gift for you and the Rainbooms. I heard about the secret of yours that got revealed and I felt very sympathetic so me and Vinyl baked you these cupcakes! We also made brownies for the others if that’s more their speed!”

Fluttershy stared at me curiously as she brushed a strand of pink hair out of her eyes.

“Thank you,” she whispered. “I can’t believe Sunset found out about it. I only told Rainbow and the others. Well Rainbow knew because she was the one I kissed.” I resisted the urge to defend Sunset when I thought of a better idea. A way to earn her trust for now.

“It was absolutely awful of her wasn’t it?” I lied as she widened her eyes. “Such a fake friend.”

“Yeah,” Fluttershy shivered. “I will take these to the others. I appreciate it.” She hesitantly took them and I smiled internally. I felt disgusted with what I said about Sunset but it got her to take them so I can apologize later. To Sunset, I mean not Fluttershy or the other members of her band. They deserve everything they got coming. I watched her walk away, with the plastic containers held firmly in a hand. With a smile, I pulled out my phone and dialed a number.

“Hey, Lyra it’s me. She took the container. Yes, both of them. Plans a go. See you at lunch.” I shoved my phone in my pocket after hanging up and ran to class.

I carried my lunch tray with a second one balanced on top. I had offered to get Sunset her lunch today. We all agreed to rotate lunch duties so that way Cheerilee could keep an eye on Sunset just in case anyone tried to attack her. We all also agreed to eat in Cheerilees room from here on out till this thing blew over which hopefully was soon.

“Hey are you really British?” A random kid asked me. I paused and looked at him.

“Uh yes, yes I am. Why?” I asked curiously. He held up his phone for me to see and I grimaced.

Octavia isn’t really British. I read the most recent anon a miss post and I rolled my eyes. That was the stupidest made up secret I ever heard.

“Yes I am British. I was born in Cambridge and emigrated to Canterlot. I left when I was five to attend school here,” I grumbled as I started to walk past him. “Any other questions?”

“Do you smoke cigarettes? All British, smoke right?” He asked curiously. I spun around and glared at him, barely keeping the trays balanced.

“No I don’t smoke cigarettes. Not all British do and I’m offended you would imply that we all do!” I scoffed. He held up a hand and stepped back.

“Jeez I was just asking about your country. Quit being a prick over it.” I turned bright red and growled.

“Why you little bloody bugger!” I fumed. When mad, I sometimes used British insults. I didn’t even bother to hear a response as I stormed out of the the lunch room and into the hallway. I stormed down the hallway as people moved out of my way. I shoved the door to Cheerilees room open with my back and stepped inside. “The nerve of some people!”

All my friends stopped eating and looked at me. Cheerilee paused her writing and glanced over with a raised eyebrow.

“Is this about the anon a miss post about you?” Vinyl asked as she took Sunsets tray and slid it to her. She gave a grateful nod and started eating. I had tried to find the most pony friendly diet I could find.

“Yup. Someone implied I smoke cigarettes!” I growled. “Absolutely revolting!”

“While I would love to go beat his brains out, me and Vinyl have to go to the band room!” Lyra finished inhaling her lunch and grabbed Vinyls hand.

“I do?” Vinyl asked as she spun her empty tray around on one corner. “Why?”

“Because I saw the Rainbooms going there to eat their lunches and I want to watch them eat the brownies and cupcakes! I wanna see their reaction let’s go!” Lyra dragged Vinyl out the room and gave us a wave.

“What is she talking about?” Cheerilee asked us.

“Nothing!” Bon Bon hastily said as the teacher narrowed her eyes at us.

“Alright.”
