My Past Is Complicated

With a frustrated sigh, I shoved a pair of arguing students aside so I could get through to my locker.

“Excuse you bitch. Don’t you shove me!” One shouted at me and I slowly turned around, giving him a cold grin.

“I suggest you don’t talk to me like that or things could get ugly for you.” He rolled his eyes and groaned.

“I don’t see your sisters around so they can’t protect you.” That was true, Adagio and Sonata were elsewhere at the moment but I didn’t actually need either of their help in a fight. I can easily hold my own.

“It’s adorable you think I need their assistance in a fight,” I stepped forward and stroked his cheek. “Unfortunately for you, you’re wrong.” I quickly drove my knee into his stomach and he fell to the ground gasping. “Have a good day.”

I kept walking to my locker and smirked as I put the combination in. This whole school was turned upside in a matter of a week. If I knew the chaos this school was capable of, I never would have agreed to attend. I’m only here because Adagio said we needed high school diplomas if we wanted to make it anywhere in this world now. At least Sunset trusted us when the others didn’t.

I grimaced when I thought about her. We had been gone all week trying out our pendants in the mountains where we could be alone. Imagine our surprise, and anger of course, when we found out all this shit had gone down. I wasn’t surprised the Rainbooms had betrayed her so quick. It seemed like something they would do.

For being a group that is all about friendship is magic and other shit, they aren’t the greatest models of displaying it. Especially since they kicked Sunset out within the first day.

“Hey Aria,” I glanced back at a turquoise girl with golden hair standing behind me with her arms crossed.

“Oh hey Lightning. How’s it hanging?” I asked as I started tossing books inside.

“Been better,” Lightning admitted. “I’ve been watching Sunset and her group like you guys asked of me. Pretty torn up about this thing.”

“They abandoned her too? Seriously?” I raised an eyebrow. Lightning quickly held up a hand and shook her head.

“No they are on her side. Same with Trixie and her group I think because they have been sitting with her the past few days. It took me a while to find where they eat lunch at but I quickly found them in Miss Cheerilees room.”

“Makes sense. It’s probably the safest area for them. No one would dare do anything with Cheerilee in the room.” That made sense why the typically cheerful teacher was furious looking around the school. Honestly, even I was nervous seeing that and that should tell you a lot considering I don’t get nervous.

“Especially since Rainbow Dash slapped her in the hallway in front of everyone,” Lightning casually said as she watched a teacher separating a fight. My head whipped over to glare at her.

“She did what?” I snapped. “The nerve of that walking pride flag.”

“Yeah I wanted to do something but I was outnumbered at the time. I’ll beat her skull in with a baseball bat next time,” Lightning announced.

“Be careful who hears you say that,” I warned as I pulled my phone out. “You’re already in anger management for assault. Don’t need you in a jail cell.”

“True. What are you doin?” She leaned over my shoulder as I called my youngest sister.

“Hey Sonata. I got a plan but I need your help with it. Yes I will get you Taco Bell for lunch.” Lightning snorted a laugh.

“Tacos are pretty amazing,” she agreed.

“Thanks sis,” I shoved my phone in my pocket and grinned at Lightning Dust. “Wanna help me get even?”

“How long are we gonna sit in this storage closet?” Adagio hissed. “My dress is getting dirty and it smells!” We were sitting in the janitor closet behind some boxes waiting for our prey. Lightning was tossing a ball up and down.

“Not long,” I promised as I heard yelling. “Sounds like Sonata is keeping her end of the plan up.” I was proud of her not gonna lie. I had told her she could back out if she wanted but she surprisingly refused. The door swung open and Sonata ran in.

“Here she comes,” Sonata winked as she tossed a rainbow backpack on the floor and grabbed the key on a nearby box. The door opened again as Sonata hid near the door.

“I know you’re in here!” Rainbow shouted. “I want my shit now!” I nodded to my friend and sister as we walked out to face.

“Hello Dash,” Adagio smiled coldly. She spun around to face us as Sonata ran out the door. “Nice to see you again.”

“Yeah yeah likewise. Why did Sonata take my backpack?” Rainbow demanded as I held up the bag.

“You mean this one?” I asked curiously. “You won’t be needing it today.” I tossed it aside. Rainbow glared at me as she picked it up and tried to open the door.

“Hey why won’t this door open?” She demanded.

“Because Sonata is standing guard and locked it. You’re stuck here with us three.”

“There’s only two of you?” Rainbow asked in confusion. I gestured for Lightning to come out and she stepped into the light with a cruel grin. “Lightning Dust? What are you doing with them?”

“Hey RD, I'm with my friends after you threw me aside. It’s what you know best after all,” Lightning shrugged. “How is Bitchfire?”

“Spitfire is fine,” Rainbow snapped. “What’s the point of this?”

“You hurt Sunset. You fucked up which means all is fair game now. She’s one of us, she never was one of you. She spent hella time with you too and you threw her to the wolves,” Adagio explained as she balled her fist.

“I’m not afraid of you!” Rainbow exclaimed. I gave a cruel smile of my own. I had to respect the false sense of bravery she was putting on. Unfortunately for her, me and my sister saw through it. I slammed my fist into my open palm as we stepped toward her.

“You will be.”
