Darkness Falls (1)

Skittle Aradito has a hard life. She has no friends, is hated by everyone and, worst of all, she is bullied by Casper Arterton, the most popular boy in school. Casper thinks he is all that, and tries to make Skittle's life a misery in every way possible, to make her tragic life even more tragic. When she goes to high school, she meets her English teacher, Mr Winter, who helps her through her tragic life. But when changes come to Skittle's life, things take a turn for the worse, and she has to find a way to get through.

Chapter 1 - The New Boy

Chapter 1 - The New Boy Skittle Aradito sat at her group's table, picking at a bit of glue that was stuck to the table and sighing heavily. She turned to her best friend, Tara, and said, "I'm so bored,"
"Me too," groaned Tara, slouching in her chair.

"Class! May I have your attention, please?" the teacher shouted, clapping her hands.
The two eight-year-old girls' conversation was interrupted. There was a boy at the front of the class who neither of them had seen before. He had floppy blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin.
"He looks evil!" Skittle said in a creepy voice.
"No, he looks friendly!" Tara said.
"Class, this is Casper Arterton. He is a new student here at our school, and we must all do our very best to make him feel welcome." the teacher announced.
Casper grinned at the class, and then he spoke.
"Hello! Yes, I'm Casper, and I am cool and I love to do athletics and I'm super fast!" he said.
The teacher looked a bit taken aback, but then she smiled at the young athlete and said,
"Wow, that must be interesting."
Casper nodded.
"Uh huh! It is!"
"Well, Casper, we'd better find you a place to sit." the teacher said.
Skittle prayed in her head.
"Pleasepleaseplease don't let him sit on this table!" she thought to herself, crossing her fingers under the table and screwing her eyes shut.
"How about over there, on that table with Skittle and Tara?"
Skittle's face looked as if someone had just made her eat broccoli or something.

This story made me cry, but it was good. I feel bad for Skittle. And if your life is like that, I feel bad for you. T.T I think Skittle haunts the school now.

This is the scariest and most terrifying story I ever read, the 2 main reasons are that they involved;
school with out friend and with bullies, and cauze it's not fiction so in real life
It's also a awesome story and hope you'll make more stories but with a bit more fiction.
5 stars though ^-^

I can now say that I have written an award-winning story, because Darkness Falls won the story writing competition today and I got a trophy and a trip to meet famous authors.

@PrincessToast

But I don't think you've seen the wall post about what happened on the trip. It was absolutely horrible. The teacher brought 20 other people on the trip who hadn't done anything at all. On the way there in the coach, I was forced to sit in a spare seat in a cramped area next to the door, and everyone else got proper seats, even though I was the See More

I just finished. At least someone cared for Skittle!
reply
Yeah, Skittle is a representation of me and Mr Winter is a representation of my favourite teacher. This story was a true story up until the part where Skittle starts visiting him at breaktime. And glad you enjoyed it! :D
