Every Lie Counts

Taking a Step Back

Sunset face palmed. "RARITY!"

"Okay, someone tell me who this Evie freak is!" Adagio demanded.

"How dare you!" Rarity hissed. "I am not a freak!"

Blair gasped. "If she's Evie, does that mean you know who A is?"

Rarity sighed. "I remember a few things about my time with H. It was dark. She tried to kill me everyday, but still I held on. There are things that I'm trying to remember, but I think Applejack did something to me. Like when a dentist uses that freak spray to make you tolerant to the pain."

Josi stared out the window. "I'm going to trust all of you with a big secret. Last night, I was with Radiance Angel, and- well, she told me that she and that teacher Discord are having an affair."

Sunset glared at nothing. "I knew he had sex with other girls. Didn't he learn not to date students after he got Fluttershy pregnant?"

Blair rose her hand like she was in school. "For a short time, I was having an affair with Sylvie."

That gave Sunset someone to glare at. "YOU SICK FREAK!"

"Oh my gosh, Sunset!" Blair snapped. "She forced me to!"

"But she's old! Like, 100 years old," Rarity said, sounding like Pinkie Pie.

Josi face palmed. "Idiot. She's twenty eight."

Sunset picked up her phone, and screamed. She quickly calmed down. "Sorry, my phone just died on me. Now I can't check Facebook."

Adagio died laughing. "You still use Facebook? Why don't you use Twitter or Instagram. Or Snapchat?"

"Because Snapchat makes me want to hurl myself off a cliff, Twitter hates me, and Instagram...I don't know how to use it. And don't ask me to get to Tumblr. If I wanted an account of any of them, which I don't, I would just make one. But I'm not goinhg to, because I already had to delete my old Facebooks." She paused for a second. "Okay, I had to delete three."

"Why?" Blair asked.

"My first one was what I used when I tore up the student body of CHS. On my second one, people kept tagging me in pictures of the Fall Formal, when I turned into a she-demon. Then the third had people posting to my feed on how sorry they were for what happened after we had to see our friends murdered."

Rarity pursed her lips. She slowly blew out a small puff of breath. "They shouldn't do that. They have no idea what it was like. We don't need or want their pity."

Adagio stood up. "I think we should go. Blair, Josi, do you want to tell the others, or do you want us to?"

Blair nodded. "I want to tell them."

"If she's going, so am I," Josi said. "Where are we going? I really don't want strangers to hear about this."

"We'll go to my apartment," Sunset said, wheezing a little.

Lilac twisted her purple hair into a braid. "I don't understand why you're so worried. Sunset and I are on love." She smiled. "I wish you had seen her face when we were singing together, she loved it. And so did I."

Her 'friend' sighed. "I knew you would. She is nice. But I just wish you learned how to control yourself."

"I don't need permission from you. Now get out of my house." A small sigh escaped her lips. "My mother will be home soon. You know she hates you."
