Rd: "Rose.. D-dont this is my fight!" I yelled back after I got back up to my knees.

The brown haired teen didn't listened and continued to yell at the 3 jocks surrounding me, making them laugh at both me and Rose.

She's that one girl in my class who kept on supporting me to be achieve my dreams with my lack of height. But why is she here? Class hours are over..

But she cant be here, Im trying to prove myself that Im not and no longer weak! But whatever I do to defend myself doesn't works! I tried to be tough like Applejack, to fight back like Sunset and to talk back like Pinkie pie..

But why isn't it working? Is it because of my height? Is it because I have a rainbow colored hair? Or is it because Im truly weak?

I can feel body aching in pain as the anger within me started to rage throughout my body. I don't need Applejack nor anybody to save me, Im not weak!

Rd: "Get the f*ck out of here Rose.." I muttered with slight anger in the tone of my voice.

R: "You okay Rainbow?!"

Rd: "What does it looks like to yo- ACK!" I was cut off when Bulk delivered another kick to my stomach which made me groan in pain.

R: "S-stop!"

"Why? What are you gonna do to us?" The boy named Dumb-bell laughed, crossing his arms after.

R: "The girls' volleyball team are on their way jackass!"

Rd: "W-what?"

"So? They're just a bunch or girls-"

"Wait!" Bulk started, covering his friend's mouth with his gloved hand.

"T-that's the cowgirl's sport right?" He continued in slight nervousness.

As the 3 idiots stare at Rose in the distance, I immediately took the chance to strike. So I got back up to my knees and delivered a punch to Bulk's private part, causing him to yell in pain.

"Idiot!" Hoops growled back before grabbing my shirt and throwing me to the wall.

Rd: "ARGH!" I gasped as soon my back hit the wall with huge impact.

But instead of giving up like last time, I immediately stood up and charged at his friends, ignoring the unbearable pain all over my body.

R: "Rainbow don't! T-they're here quick!"

I just ignored Rose as I weakly swung my fist directly at the idiot's face. But his other friend quickly grabbed both my arms afterwards.

"You f*cking shrimp don't give up heh?" Hoops chuckled while placing his hand on the part where I punched him.

"We gotta go man.." Bulk interrupted after getting back up to his feet.

"Why? I thought we're gonna teach this kid a lesson?"

"Hey!" A familiar voice yelled from the distance.

When I looked back, my eyes widened in anger when I saw my team watching us in the distance. They were already in their practice jerseys.. Did they start without me?

Sunset and Pinkie pie were staring at the 3 jocks with their angered look, Twilight and Rarity was still in shock to see me like this, and Applejack is just looking at the other way to ignore me.

Ts: "What's going on here?"

Rd: "Again with the rescuing.. I dont need your help!" I growled back as tears slowly form in my eyes.

Pp: "D-dashie! You okay?"

Rd: "What the hell does it looks like to you Pinkie?"

R: "No need to fight girls!"

As soon those 3 idiotic jocks left in a cowardly way, my team immediately run up to me to check if I was okay.. Except for Fluttershy, Coloratura and Applejack.

Ss: "Kid! Danm what happened?"

I just bowed my head to avoid looking at them without responding to any of their questions. I dont want them to see me like this, It just shows how weak I am.

Ss: "Answer me Dash!"

Ts: "I.. I'll go get the med kit back at the gym." Twilight said before running back to the gym court with Starlight.

Pp; "What happened over here Dashie?"

Rd: "Its none of your business.." I muttered, still looking down at the dirt.

Suddenly, Rose stepped up and spoke up even though I told her multiple times to don't tell anything with my death glare. But that dumbass was too stubborn.

R: "I was just walking by and I heard something so I ran over here! Only to see my classmate was getting beaten up by those assholes!"

Ss: "I see.." Sunset started, looking back at me after. "Do you know them?"

Rd: "Like I said, its none of your f*cking business."

R: "Woah language!"

Fs: "Relax its normal.." Fluttershy chuckled.

After Twilight and Starlight returned with the med kit, they quickly rushed to me and starred to wrap the bruises and scratches all over my arms with a bandage.

As my whole team started to ask me continues questions, I noticed that someone walked up to my right and leaned to the wall, making me slowly look up and see-

Rd: "What the hell do you want Applejack?"

Aj: "You weak bastard.." She replied with a grin which made my eyes widened in complete shock.

Hearing that from her again really makes me feel even more Angry yet so.. Somehow energetic. So as soon Twilight finished wrapping my arms, I immediately stood up and faced Applejack right in her emerald eyes.

Rd: "Im weak.. And what's wrong with that?" I said with ny forced broken smile.

Aj: "There's nothing wrong about it, it's just you cant even defend yourself. But hey, why listen to a backstabber like me?"

Rd: "Its because you're clearly f*cked up dumbass!" I growled back while grabbing her shirt to make her bend down to match my height. "Why am I still weak?!"

Aj: "Huh? It's becau-"

Rd: "Tell me! I tried to be tough like you, I fought back like Sunset and I even talked back like Pinkie pie! But why does everyone thinks Im still weak inside..?"

Aj: "R-rainbow.. You dumbass.." She sighed after gently grabbing my hands to push me away. "Its because you're to blind to see it.."

Rd: "See what?! Spit it out dumbass!"

Ss: "Stop it you two!" Sunset interrupted as she pulled me away from the cowgirl. "The qualifying matches are in next week and we should be practicing right now!"

Pp: "But Sunset.. This is personal for them-"

Ss: "I don't care! They're too young to even have a goddamn relationship! I thought winning Nationals is your dream Rainbow?!"

Rd: "I-its is.."

Ss: "Then man up and prove to me that nothing will stand in your way! This is why I told you that having a relationship is bothering you from achieving your title!"

Ts: "Sunset please stop-"

Ss: "And Applejack!" Sunset started before turning her attention to the cowgirl. "You may have the skills and perfection as a setter, but your Passion is worthless if you keep on putting your focus on Rainbow!"

Aj: 'Not anymore-"

Ss: "Shut up and let me speak cowgirl! You can't fix anything just by making out with Rainbow during our practice. And now your willing to keep Dash's secret from us? Why did you only tell it to Fluttershy!?"

Aj: "I already told I didnt tell anybody! I was gonna keep it a secret because Rainbow was right all along.. We've been underestimating her during training camp!"

Ss: "Underestimating? Ha! She can't even be a team player!"

Rd: "W-what..?" I asked myself as this heavy feeling came up to my chest.

Sunset has been one of my idols since I got here, she told me her technics, showed me her skills, and even told me everyday that I can become the Ace. But now, I learned that she actually hated me as a player..

This team is filled with secrets and drama everyday..Why did coach McIntosh even recommended me to go in this school? I should have enrolled to Cloudsdale instead!

While my team kept screaming at Sunset, I just removed the dust and dirt on my shirt before facing the captain eye to eye.

Ss: "You have something to say Dash?"

Rd: "Yeah.. That I quit this stupid club."

Everybody suddenly gasped in shock as soon they heard me, especially Applejack. They knew how much I love Volleyball, but it isn't as fun like last time..

How can I even achieve my dream of being the Ace if my own team hates me? I think its best to go solo for now. I know Coach McIntosh once told me Volleyball is a team sport, but for me we're not a team..

Spitfire was right, I should have joined her team when I have the chance before she could decline it.

Ss: "W-what..?" Sunset nervously spoke up with a shocked look.

Rd: "I said I quit.."

Ts: "Rainbow don't-"

Rd: "Volleyball used to be a sport where I can belong with a team,  but now its filled with chaos and drama.."

Ss: "R-rainbow.. If this is what I said- I didn't mean it.."

Rd: "Your just saying that captain.. Thanks for your honesty." I replied with a forced smile before walking out of the scene.

But before I could take my first step, I felt someone grabbed my arm, making me look back and saw Applejack.. Her eyes were no longer angered, instead she began to tear up.

Aj: "Please.. Don't go." She begged with a broken voice as tears slowly drip down her face.

Rd: "Why would be I in the same team with you if I cant even trust you anymore?"

Aj: "Rainbow you dumbass! I would never lie to you.. You know that!"

Rd: "W-whatever.." I hissed after pulling me hand back.

R: "But Darling.. Qualifying matches are in next week! You've been waiting for this moment since you applied in this club!"

Rd: "That may be true Rarity but.. You dont need a weak player like me. A team of 6 is stronger when all members are strong.. And Im not one of them, right Applejack?"

Aj: 'D-dumbass! Don't do this please!"

I just sighed and lastly patted the cowgirl's shoulders before I continued walking out of here. But when I made it halfway.. Something in me just.. Snapped.

Rd: "Applejack.."

Aj: "Y-yeah?"

Rd: "Were over.. For now." I cried in tears, running away afterwards.
