The truth

If your confused about the title then you'll need to read till the end if this chapter.

-Sunset Shimmer POV-

I sat with the rest of my friends and to my surprise, saw Soarin Skys sitting next to Rainbow Dash on the end. I had to tease them a bit, “Well, looks like you two are going swimmingly.”

“He doesn't leave my side.” Rainbow hissed at me.

Soarin just looked at her then said, “Is there something wrong with wanting to know my new Business Partner?”

“BUSINESS PARTNER!!!” we all shouted.

I looked at Rainbow who was blushing. “What do you mean by Business Partner!?”

Soarin smiled and nudged Rainbow, “Well, it's not official yet, but this beauty is gonna be a model. We'll be doing photo shoots together every once in awhile.”

Rainbow was blushing even harder as we all gaped at her, except Rarity who said, “It's about time!”

Now we were all staring at her, especially Rainbow. Rarity continued, “I have been trying to get her to model my designs for years but she always refused. How on earth did you get her to do it?”

“She was in the park where I was doing my photoshoot. I was doing it for a long time and was getting bored. Then the photographer asked Rainbow to join in. Father saw all the pictures she was in and decided to make her a model with me.”

“They also didn't give me a choice.” I could hear the glare in her voice and knew that she was not happy with this new job.

I saw Soarin smile smugly at Rarity before he continued. “You know, we still need to find Rainbow a designer to make the clothes that she'll be wearing. That person will need to know how to follow a pattern and have a good eye for fashion. We might let them throw in some of his or her own designs as well. Know anyone who'll be interested?”

We all pointed at Rarity and she eagerly raised her hand. A smug look of victory came on Soarin's face, “Well then Rarity, I'll see what I can do to get you the job.”

Rarity squealed and Soarin laughed. I smiled as I took a bite of the fruit salad. I think that this guy is gonna be fun to hang around with.

-Time Skip-

Nothing interesting happened for the rest of the day. We continued our unit in health and learned why they did this stuff to themselves. Evidently yesterday was just an overview.

According to the teacher, they don't start cutting themselves for quite awhile after they are being bullied. They don't do it till they begin to believe the things that they're being told. Once they do, they feel like they need to in order to do themselves justice. It's the only way they can find to cope with the pain. Tomorrow we’re learning about the different stages that they go through.

During the whole class, I snuck glances at Rainbow to find her just staring at the table and had the slightest hint of fear in her eyes. What was going on?

After class, Soarin caught up with me and pulled me aside. “Oh. Hey Soarin. What's up?”

He looked at me straight in the eye with a very serious expression on his face, “I need to talk to you. As soon as possible.  Somewhere private. Meet me at Sugarcube Corner at 5:30 tonight. It's important.”

I was really confused, but nodded in response and he walked away. What could he. Want to talk about anyway? I looked at my watch and saw it was 3:02. I should have enough time to get to my apartment and work on homework for a bit more than an hour till I'd need to leave to meet him. So that's what I did.
