Moonlight Sonata (Thread Died)

"Thank you."
>"You have yourself a nice day, Sonata."
"I'll try my best!"
>As always
>You give a smile to the lunchlady, and walk further down the line
>It's been three months since Aria and Adagio abandoned you here.
>Everyone seems to have forgotten about the sirens...they mostly just ignore you now.
>Your tired of always eating alone. Hmmm..Anon usually sits alone, maybe you should sit with him?
>After you grab your tray, you head over to the table where Anon sits, an empty tray sitting atop the table
>Well...
>Here goes nothing...

>"Hey Anon!"
>You look up, surprised to see Sonata standing in front of you
>You struggle to remember something about her
>She had two friends you saw her with, but you haven't seen them around in forever
>"Mind if I sit here?"
>She flourishes with an adorable smile
>You try your best to act cool
>Don't sweat, your the social alpha here
"Yeah sure, go ahead."
>You motion for her to take a seat
>Nailed It.

"Mind if I sit here?"
>God you hope he says yes
>You hate being lonely
>You force a smile, and his eyes dart around
>He seems unsure of himself
>Pleasepleasepleaseplease
>"Y-you too..."
>Works for you
>You sit down and smile at him

>Sonata places her food on the table and begins to eat silently
>Not much is said between you two for awhile
>The static chattering and clacking of trays and students talking flows through the lunchroom
>The girl in front of you doesn't say anything, but when you look away you can see her glance at you quickly before looking back at her food
>You look at her again, and she just looks at her food, too shy to say much
"Hey, Sonata right?"

>"Hey, Sonata right?"
>You perk up and look at Anon, who is studying you quizzically
>You gulp down the food you had in your mouth
"Y-Yeah. And you're Anonymous."
>"Mhm."
>A couple seconds of idle silence pass
>"So, why sit with me? Nobody else does."
"I usually sit alone anyway, I figured we could just be alone together."
>You give him a bubbly smile to break the ice
>"Weren't you friends with those two other girls though? What ever happened to them?"
>...
>You put your hands in the pockets of your hoody and look away

>You are Anon
>Fuck, that was the wrong thing to say
"I mean, it's not like I don't want you here, I'm just wonderi-"
>"They uh... Moved away."
>Huh?
>That would explain them not showing up lately
>You can see Sonata rub her finger across a red jewel she wears around her neck

>Goddamnit Anon
>This ship is sinking fast
>Think of something, quick
"Nice necklace, wheres it from?"
>She glances up at you again and stops rubbing the jewel
>"Those girls and I all had one, they're... friendship necklaces"
>She looks even more sulky
>Goddamnit Anon
"Hey, it's cool if you don't want to talk about it. Try asking me something instead."
>She looks up at you, a step in the right direction
>"Why do you sit alone?"
"Dunno, I don't really fit in with anyone else, and when I try it just doesn't feel smooth. So I stopped trying."

>You take your hand off of your necklace and lean forward
"So... What do you like to do?"
>Anon shrugs and leans back
>"The usual, video games and music. Not one for sports, I can run and lift but the jocks piss me off."
"I'm a good swimmer, but that one girl Dash kinda made everyone alienate me, so I never bothered signing up."
>You never really did anything to her either, she just kinda made you feel unneeded
>You never held it against her though

>The bell rings and the sound of trays clattering and students grabbing their bags fills the lunchroom
>Anon looks at you and you shrug
>You swallow the last of your food and get up, brushing a few stray crumbs from your hoodie
"Later, Anon."
>You get up, sling your bag over your shoulder and head off

>You are Anon
>As you watch Sonata leave, you let loose a breath you didn't know you were holding
>That was awkward
>But in the good way?
>Something about Sonata just felt... right.
>Even though you both didn't say much, there  was some sort of connection
>Maybe it's because you both know what its like to be alone
>Abandoned
>...
>You decide to shove these thoughts to the side and pack your things up
>As you walk by the trashcan, you reach to your pocket to check your pho-
>Wait...
>Fuck
>Tapping your pockets, you realize you must have left it in your gym locker
>You sigh and head towards the locker room
>Who cares, you didn't like Calculus anyway.

>You are Sonata
>And a couple of thoughts swirl in your head as you walk towards the locker rooms for gym class
>You liked Anon, he was a bit awkward, but you felt comfortable around him
>Like a silent understanding or something
>You dunno, but you would probably sit there tomorrow again
>You hike your bag further up your shoulder as you walk down the hall
>When you reach the door you push it open and you sigh dejectedly
>You hate when you show up at the same time as Dash and Rarity
>They seem to be in some hushed conversation
>You toss up your hood and stick next to the wall, hoping they don't notice you
>You make it to your locker and set down your bag
>Grabbing the bottom of your hoodie, you start to pull it of-
>"Hey! Sonata!"
>Darnit.
>You know the drill
>You turn around and look at the floor
>Hands at the side, armor set
>"What the fuck are you doing talking to Anon?"
>"Rainbow dear, that's no language to use over something trivial."
>Rainbow doesn't break her glare with you
>"Well?"
"I-"
>Rainbow slams her hand on the locker next to you
>"Listen, I know Adagio and that other whore friend of yours are planning something again."
>The words try to dig into you, but you won't let them
>"Is that why they left you here? Huh? To spy? And now you want to make Anon apart of your little group?"
>"Rainbow dear, I think we sh-"
>"Or did they abandon you here? Didn't they like you?"
>You won't let them.
>You won't let...
>"Weren't they your friends?"
>You...
>The tears come first, but your face doesn't change
>Just look at the ground
>"I wouldn't think so, who would ever want to be friends with such a stupid girl like you?"
>...
>You won't let her see you break
>"Darling, I do believe she has had enough, we are going to be late for class."
>Rainbow sizes you up once more, before turning around and walking out
>As the door closes slowly, you fall to your knees
>You can hear something from the door before it closes fully
>"Oh hey Anon, whatsup?"

"Hey Dash, are the locker rooms still unlocked?"
>"Should be."
"Thanks, later."
>"Yeah, later."
>Rainbow walks off chatting with Rarity
>You head past the girls locker rooms and walk towards the boys'
>You push open the door and head to your locker
>Idly putting in your combination, you rummage around in the locker and grab your phone
>You close your locker and head out of the room
>AHGHHHH FUCK!
>You fall to your knees and clutch your ears as hard as you can
>It feels like your brain is being put against a belt sander
>Then, as quickly as it came, the few seconds of agony disappear
>You stay on the ground for a few seconds, breathing in and out
>What the fuck.

>You are Sonata
>And you just bury it all down
>Deep inside of you, where it can't hurt you
>You don't think about Rainbow's words
>How she's right
>How the girls left you
>How you're alone
>Don't think
>Just don't think
>You wish your brain would just turn off and let you go back to being docile
>The pain comes in low sobs first
>Then it turns into quiet moans of grief
>You suddenly let out long wails of anguish, filling the locker room with your sadness
>It pours out of you and rings heavily, before turning into anger
>You grab your necklace and let the pain fuel it
>Letting out all of your frustration, you scream
>The sound resonates with the gem, creating a high pitched whine
>You scream for a few seconds, but it feels like an eternity
>When you feel the anger leave you, you fall to the floor again and cry
>Your not sure how long you stay there, clutching yourself
