Rarity Pov

The halls in the school building were a daunting color. Maybe off, Purple even? Heading to the lunch room I saw all of the girls' eyes gazing upon me. Both Rainbow and Sunset were in great aggravation. The rest were in slight worry. Maybe disgust. Did I do something wrong?

"Well ain't you ashamed to show your face?" Applejack said with great odium. "Lying to all of your friends..." She then walked up to me. "Lying to me!" she then yelled. "How dare you tell me you love me just to run away?!" her tone then became slightly ominous. "Pft I'd spit in your eye." she finished as her eyes narrowed.

"That is kinda messed up Rarity." Rainbow Dash followed. "Not only what you've done to Applejack, but what you didn't tell us. Aren't we your friends." Rainbow finished while crossing her arms.

"Guess Adagio is her new best friend." Twilight said while adjusting her glasses.

"Out of all of her choices?" Fluttershy said while flipping her hair.

"Pathetic actually." Pinkie blew a bubble.

"I told them everything. Think you can get away with being silent? Guess what darling."she said in a mocking temperament. "I see more than what you think I do." She said while walking up from the table, right towards me.

"So what are you going to do about it?' She said as she pushed me.

Vigorously sweating, i was shaken from my deep sleep. Sweating a bit. My vision was slightly blurred. Yet there was familiarity all around. As my vision became more transpicuous. I saw the dully colored purple walls.

I was in the comfort of my bed. My eyes slowly traveled over to the side. Just to see my mother placing her hand over my head.

"Mom?" I said weekly.

"You're awake? Oh thanks heavens!" she said while taking a deep breath. "Once the weather clears up, we will be able to get you to the hospital." she said with a compassionate smile.

"You look worried. Everything alright?" she said while holding a glass of water with white pills with red writing written on them. Not the normal ones I take for weight loss. Actually I should probably be taking them about now.

"Here sweetie take this. This should curve that that fever of yours." she said while placing her hand on my cheek.

She then helped me sit up. Tossing the pills in my mouth, I swallowed the pills. Yet some tears slipped from my eyes.

"Rare?" My mother said in worry slitting on the side of the bed, next to me. "Everything okay?"

"Yes.."i whispered with a scrunched facial expression. Even more Glassy droplets slipping from her eyes.

"Mother knows her daughter too well. Now what's wrong?" she said as she looked over at my face now dripping with water.

"I lied to all of my friends. I don't know how to talk to my girlfri.......pft..well i." pausing for a moment. I never knew until pretty much now that i'm not straight. What will my mother think? She looked rather curious. Not in a good way.  Shifting the tone, I continued.

"They think everything is going just so swell. But its not!...I only told one of my..f-friends...But she doesn't know all the itsy bitsy details. " I sniffled.

"Why didn't you tell me?" My mother questioned. "Rarity what's going on?"

"Mom, its just some difficulties in my company. I'm not skinny enough! I'm not pretty enough! I can never be SKINNY Enough!" i practically yelled.
