Honestly

>It was a peaceful day at Echo Creek High
>Classes were boring but productive
>Everyone listlessly coasting through the week to blessed Friday
>Or so it seemed
>For like all Highschools; ECH is a simmering hotbed of emotions
>Love
>Such as Chantelle's forbidden crush on Ferguson O'durguson
>A taboo union between Cheerleader and Mascot
>Betrayal!
>Oskarr Greeson's denouncement of the accord between himself and his mother
>Giving up on his grades exempting the ones he needs to attend community college
>...and living in the school parking lot
>All these feelings
>As hot
>Hormonally potent...and all consuming as they may be
>No teenage conviction
>Is stronger
>More OMNIPRESENT
>Than Hate
>Hate
>A: "HAAAAAATE!"
>Such is the warcry of Anonymous McMoot
>Yes
>That's his real name
>A boy of 14, long suffered by his fellows in ECH
>He is impetuous
>Swarthy
>Rebellious
>Liked by few
>Feared by many
>Ignored and misunderstood by most
>He stands in the center of Echo Creek High's cafeteria
>Pizza Pasta Lasagna splattered across his lap
>Chocolate Milk stains and sticks his black T-shirt to his scrawny chest
>His eyes are wild
>Alight even
>He screams at none other than...
>S: "WHY!? Why do you hate me so much! All I did was bump you! It was an accident you Grumpy-Wumpus!"
>Star Butterfly
>Finally crying out herself
>Demanding a cause for her long-standing enmity
>For you see
>Star Butterfly is a princess
>Future ruler of another dimension
>Friends with most
>Adored by many
>Hated
>By only one
>M: "Anonymous! Back off."
>A: "YOU back off you sunny-side-up simpleton! Or I'll summon your dead grandparents and make them SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH!"
>A light blooms out into the lunch room
>An intense
>Flutterous
>Magical light
>Coming from the scepter that makes Star Butterfly so powerful
>Other than her iron-chiseled alien physique of course
>The Wand
>She levels it at Anonymous
>As a warning
>A: "Do it."
>He snarls
>Boney snaps ring out like the first sputters of a derelict engine
>His right arm, a product of his own magical touch has begun to awake
>She stands
>Stalwart
>Steeled
>He widens his feet
>His arm becomes barbed now with black hooks
>It bulges with warped musculature
>A large, fearsome part of his otherwise underdeveloped physique
>A: "Give me an excuse."
>M: "Star. No."
>S: "I -won't- let him hurt you, Marco."
>M: "He can't."
>A: "Psh."
>S: "Just like -you- can't get in another fight at school or YOU'LL be the one paying for it."
>Marco takes her hand
>M: "I won't let you get sent to St. Olga's."
>Star, lip trembling lowers her tool of devastation
>S: "I guess you're off the hook."
>She begins to walk away
>A: "One day your handler isn't gonna keep you from getting your -ass- kicked, Princess."
>Star whirls around
>S: "THAT'S IT!"
>Anon is pleased
>Of all the twisted things he enjoys
>Guro
>Dank memes
>Tableposting
>There is not a single act that gratifies his personality more
>Than the rustling of Jimmies
>S: "I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PROBLEM IS! IT'S PRETTY CLEAR YOU'RE A SPATHSTOLOGICAL JERK!"
>M: "Actually it's pa-"
>A: "BEING HONEST AND MEAN IS BETTER THAN ALWAYS TRYING TO SUCK EVERYONE'S ASS FOR AFFECTION!"
>S: "You're so GROSS too! You scream all this horrible stuff all the time! It doesn't make you look tough! It keeps anyone from getting near you! Just like your SMELL!"
>The crowd gasps
>A: "I know for a FACT everyone I can trust is a REAL friend! You're surrounded by fucking groupies that follow you so they can get a little taste of the 'Fairy Princess magic' you have. You think anyone -actually- likes you? You're obnoxiously cheerful. Wear RIDICULOUS clothes! Only ONE guy really knows you and LOOK! He treats you like a child. Because you are one. A deluded. Spoiled. Child."
>S: "Marco's my best friend."
>A: "Because you were -assigned- to him."
>S: "You BULLY everyone into liking you! What, is it better to have friends you took by force!? I trust people. You're so SENSITIVE and ANGRY you won't even let people be nice to you! You have to see if they'll take your nasty attitude first!"
>A: "I PROTECT my friends! Unlike you! How many fucked up adventures have you dragged Marco on? Huh? How often does he nearly DIE? I may not be a ray of sunshine but at least I know enough about the real world to keep my loved ones safe!"
>S: You'd just rather die alone than swallow your pride enough to let somebody help you!"
>A: "I don't NEED help! THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU ME!"
>S: "The fact that you THINK that is why you're NEVER gonna have any friends!"
>A: "I'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN LET SOMEONE DIE FOR ME! Or does the concept of giving something up for someone ELSE make THAT LITTLE SENSE TO YOU!?"
>S: "I give all the time! I give out hugs! Smiles! Adventures! I help people! I save people!"
>A: "From YOUR COCK-UPS!"
>S: "SO WHAT DO YOU DO!? Leave them all alone while you just take-take-take for yourself!?"
>A: "I need to be strong! I don't have fancy a title and wand that make me important!"
>S: "I'M IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF WHAT I DO! NOT WHO I AM!"
>A: "You couldn't -do- what you -do- without Daddy's Kingly money you royal CUNT!"
>S: "I NEVER rub where I come from in people's face! It's my MOM'S money...and I NEVER ASKED to be a Princess!"
>A: "Yet you still make it everyone else's problem..."

>They glare
>In silence
>Their fury palpable
>Milk still drips from Anonymous' chin
>Light still sparkles in Star Butterfly's eyes
>Neither can change who or what they are
>Neither has any grey in the way they see the world
>They are diametric forces
>A pillar of Golden Purity
>A monument of Black Defiance
>The Lunch Bell rings
>People begin to shuffle from their tables
>Marco gets Star to come with him to Home Ec
>Anon stays there
>Alone
>Skipping his Science class
>So he can finally get his pizza-pasta-lasagna
