Yet again, my favorite couple! Col and Connie! This is set to the song Invisible by Taylor Swift. This is a new style for me… I never really try song-fics… Anyway, hope you like! The review button loves ya! This is a relatively short fic compared to my others, but I think it's good! This has no real relation to my other stories... It's separate from all of them, a totally different circumstance.
Connie never knew why it annoyed her… Col wasn't forbidden from hanging out with people other than her… girls other than her… But it hurt all the same, especially when Col was enjoying the time and company of all those girls.
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
Connie knew that Gina was a million times prettier than herself. And why wouldn't Col like someone like that, someone like Gina? Connie had noticed Col staring at Gina, sitting next to Connie, several times. At lunch, Col raved about Gina and all the fun that he'd had the day before with her.
And I just wanna show you she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
Nobody knew that Connie liked her best friend. Anneena had come close to guessing, but had only said "Oh, you'd be a cute couple!" Connie didn't WANT anyone to know. If anybody knew, she'd be that much more embarrassed when they all knew that Col was thinking of other girls, of other interests and crushes.
Connie wanted to love Col, wanted him to love her. They would be perfect, they would understand one another, they would be in absolute harmony with each other. Why couldn't he see?
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
'We would be brilliant, together.' Connie thought, ever night before she fell asleep. But all the same, as she thought that wonderful thought of Col loving her, her pillow was covered with teardrops in the morning.
Everyday, she found something more about Col, something that made her love him even more. 'Gina wouldn't think about this,' she thought, 'Gina wouldn't see how wonderful he is.'
And I just wanna show you she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
Connie had been tired that day, very tired. She wasn't thinking straight, either. She nearly shouted at Col at lunch. She settled for just being snappy and very irritable. Anneena looked suspicious. Rat looked puzzled. Col looked wounded, as she lashed out at all of them, time and time again.
Like shadows in a faded light
Oh, we're invisible
I just wanna look in your eyes
And make you realize
Connie tried not to reveal anything to Skylark, who would've immediately Col, she thought. But the smart pegasus guessed, and stayed silent.
'I wish he would realize, too.' Skylark one day mused to a surprised Connie. 'He dreams about girls who he thinks will love him in return. But he slips over you. Because he already thinks you won't love him. Give him time. A universal is hard to forget!'
I just wanna show you she don't even know you
Baby let me love you, let me want you
Looking down at the ground, Connie avoided Col's questioning gaze.
"I could almost swear that you and Skylark were leaving me out of an important conversation." Col stated, shrewdly. Connie gave a weak smile, and muttered an excuse to leave.
'Companion, maybe you should just accept things for what they are…' Skylark said to Col, Connie hearing as well.
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
"Love you, Col," she whispered, and buried her face in her wet, tear filled pillow. "
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile...
Unbeknown to her, a boy, one she knew well, was lowering his face to an equally sopping pillow.
"Connie, why can't I make you see?" Col whispered.
