This Weird Thing Called A Crush

Flash

Oh my Luna. I'm partnered up with one of Twilight Sparkle's best friends for an art project about inspiration.

I am royally screwed.

"Damn, Flash, what's up with you? You are usually so chill."

I glance up to find Discord's bright red eyes searching mine. He sits down in the seat next to me.

They remind me of a certain girl athlete's deep magenta ones, which lead me to the final conclusion of dazzling violet eyes, belonging to no other than my biggest crush in all of Equestria.

"You really need to calm down," Discord tells me, weirded out.

I sigh, and only then do I realize how agitated the sound is.

"True."

I flinch. I whirl my head around to find Cheese's bright greens ogling me intensely.

Neverhave I ever been so jumpy because of eyes!

"It seems you're really stressed out," observes by brunette friend. "What's gotten you so spooked?"

Now both of them stare me down from the opposite sides of my seat. This isn't helping.

In a final attempt to get a hold of myself, I take a deep breath. "Hormones, I think," I manage to get out. "I can tell you guys the full story during lunch."

And apparently my timing is perfect, because our Bio teacher, Mister Cranky Doodle Donkey, walks in, looking dull as usual. Half of the class shuts up while the others merely lower their voices slightly.

Cheese pays no real attention to this, since he reaches out his head behind me, whispering, "I bet it's about Twilight." to Discord in a not-so-discreet manner.

Discord in return snickers. "Oh, yes, definitely," he replies quietly. I resist rolling my eyes.

Of course that's what they automatically think. What's pretty unfortunate for me is that they aren't really wrong. Ugh, wait 'till Soarin, Spike and Fancy hear about this. They'll all be hyped.

Whoopee.

"So... I hear you've got more girl problems, huh?" Soarin plops his lunch tray on our table right in front of me, grinning uncontrollably.

I narrow my eyes at him. "Cheese and Discord told you, didn't they?"

He nods happily.

"I heard my name!" Discord's voice rings out from behind me joyously.

"So did I!" adds Cheese in a similar manner. He sits down next to Soar as Discord slips in beside me, nudging me slyly.

"Ooh, we're talking about this predicament of Flash's now, aren't we?" Fancy asks, popping up with a plate of pasta on Soarin's right side. Of course he would've been told as well.

I sigh exasperatedly. "Am I the only one not trying to explode in jubilation because they're euphoric or something?"

"Clearly, that's a yes."

"Pretty much."

"Well, yeah."

"Duh."

I face-plant on the table. When I look up, they all seem sheepish and concerned at the same time.

Fancy tilts his head to the side, pursing his lips. "That bad?"

"Most likely," Soarin answers for me, leaning over a bit.
