Shattering Diamonds
Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Lunch Date Ruined?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was Lunchtime and the bell rang. Everypony in the school ran outside and ran to the Lunch area to eat at the tables.
Lickety Split and his friends decided to wait a while until they went up to Sweetie Belle to bother her.
She came out along with her Crusader friends.
"I take it your gonna be with Button today?" Apple Bloom asked, smiling wide.
Sweetie Belle blushed and responded back saying,
"Shut up... He's just my friend! We hangout everyday at Lunch."
"Mhm, sure. Why don't you just ask him out or show him that you like him." Scootaloo laughed.
Sweetie Belle blushed even harder.
"Shush! He's just a friend I swear! I-I don't l-like-like him!" Sweetie Belle replied.
"You have a crush on Button! Awwh! I ship it!" Silver Spoon giggled.
Sweetie Belle sighed and walked her way to Button's table. He always sat alone since he didn't really talk much to anypony. Her friends minded their own business and went to their own table, leaving Sweetie alone.
"Hi Button!" Sweetie Belle happily greeted.
Button Mash looked up from his Joyboy and smiled at her. Greeting back by saying,
"Hey!"
"Watcha playing?" Sweetie Belle asked, sitting next to him.
"I've been trying to beat this boss in Zelda! But I can't beat him!" Button sighed.
"Hm, let me see if I can help! I helped you last time remember?" Sweetie Belle giggled.
"Be quiet! You only beat the first boss for me! I only did it because I wanted to give you a shot at the game!" Button yelled back, blushing.
"Mhm sure! You couldn't beat the first boss so I helped you on it!" Sweetie Belle laughed, giving him a friendly light punch on his shoulder.
After a while, Sweetie kept on playing his game and she eventually beat the boss for him!
"SEE! EASY! You couldn't beat this boss on the easiest difficulty. I beat it on hard!" Sweetie Belle cheered.
Button Mash crossed his Hoofs and rolled his eyes.
"Shut up..." He said.
Sweetie Belle continued to giggle until she noticed Lickety Split walking up to her.
"Uh oh... This isn't good!" She thought.
"Hiya Sweets! Nice couple you two are!" Lickety Split laughed.
"Lickety Split leave us alone!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
"Sweetie Belle it's obvious, we all know you have a crush on him!" Lickety Split teased her.
"Wait WHAT?" Button asked in surprise.
"THAT'S NOT TRUE! I don't like Button that way!" Sweetie Belle screamed at Lickety Split.
"Sweetie Belle and Button! Sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love! Then-" Lickety Split teased her even more and sang, but was cutoff by Sweetie Belle using her magic to shut his mouth up.
"Sweetie Belle? You l-like me?" Button asked, he was hoping she'd say yes because he had a big crush on her too.
Sweetie Belle sighed and blushed hard. She ran away from them and ran back to her friends.
Button Mash looked at Sweetie who was running away from him.
He sighed and looked sad.
"Maybe someday..." Button thought.
Lickety Split and his friends all laughed and then went back to their own table.
"Mission accomplished! Now Sweetie Belle will never have the courage to go up to him ever again!" Lickety Split chuckled to himself.
Sweetie Belle ran back to her friends and they realized that she was crying a bit.
"Sweetie Belle? What's wrong? Why're you crying?" Apple Bloom asked.
"It's just... Lickety Split and his friends ruined it! Now Button will figure out that I have a crush on him!" Sweetie Belle buried her face into her Hoofs blushing hard and crying a bit.
"Aww, it's okay. I'm sure he won't find out. You still got a chance with him." Apple Bloom patted her back, trying to cheer her up.
"Y-yeah hopefully... Lickety Split's a jerk anyways." Sweetie Belle replied.
"Hey girls? Sorry to ruin the moment but where's Diamond Tiara at?" Scootaloo questioned them.
"Don't even mention that name..." Silver Spoon groaned.
"Yeah but... She isn't here today and I found this small envelope on the ground earlier today! See look, maybe she wrote it or something?" Scootaloo explained.
She showed them the envelope with words on it that said,
"To Silver Spoon, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom."
"Well? What're you waiting for! Open it!" Apple Bloom cheered.
Scootaloo immediately did what Apple Bloom had asked, and she took out a small folded piece of paper. She unfolded it and read it out loud.
"Guys, I'm only gonna make this a short note... But... You probably won't even continue reading this since you guys hate me now. Everypony hates me! And I tried my hardest to change into a better Pony. I even made you a scrapbook Silver Spoon of all the things we did together. My mother punishes me for being friends with you guys which upsets me, and Lickety Split and his friends hate me so much that they would do anything just to get me to suicide. And I'll do just that... I don't even deserve to have any friends for bullying you guys in the past and the election. I don't deserve anything anymore... Not even my own life. Goodbye guys..."
Scootaloo finished reading it, and her mouth was wide open, as well as her friends. All four of them looked over to Lickety Split who was laughing with his friends.
They left their Lunch-table and made their way over to Lickety Split.
"Lickety Split! What did you do to Diamond Tiara!" Sweetie Belle shouted at him.
"I don't know what your talking about." Lickety Split lied.
"Then what's up with this suicide note then huh?" Scootaloo showed him the note and he read it carefully.
He sighed and told the truth,
"Fine, I'll tell the truth, we made fun of her... We faked that tape, and we lied the entire time. We were just angry because she bullied us in the past and we decided to get back at her!"
"Lickety Split... You idiot! Who knows where she could be! She could be dead already! We have to find her!" Sweetie Belle yelled.
"She can be dead for all I care! I hate her and I always will. Good luck losers!" Lickety Split laughed evilly.
Sweetie Belle used her magic and she threw a rock at his head. It cut his head open a tiny bit, but he was a tough Colt and he took it well without showing any pain at all.
"Come on guys! We have to go find her!" Sweetie Belle shouted at her friends. Sweetie Belle led them away from the school and her friends followed her.
They stopped at the entrance to the schoolyard and saw a long trail with water marks stained on the ground.
"These were probably her tears! Maybe if we follow them then we'll catch up to her and stop her! Let's hurry though!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
Her friends nodded their heads and kept up with her as she ran and followed the trail of tears.
They hoped that it wouldn't be too late...
