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.

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 2 - Snake Charmer

Chapter 2 - Snake Charmer Skittle started to sulk. She didn't want that new boy Casper in her group. Why couldn't he go in that group over there with all the boys? She sighed.
"Well, class, can you remember what day it is?" the teacher exclaimed.
Skittle slumped down on the desk. She didn't want to know what day it was right now.
"It's zoo day!" the rest of the class yelled.
Skittle sat up straight when she heard that. Of course! It was zoo day! She'd been looking forward to this day for ages. Today was the day that some animal handlers would come into school with their pet animals, and let the children hold them and stroke them! Skittle loved animals.
Just then, a huge white van pulled up outside of the school. The animal handlers stepped out with cages with different animals inside them, and all of the children in the class ran to the window. They banged their fists on the window, and the animal handlers turned round and smiled at them.
Then the animal handlers all came into the classroom with their animals, carrying all sorts of equipment with them. The children ran to their seats and cheered.
"Thank you, children." one of the animal handlers said, pretending to bow and making everyone laugh.
"Now, are we all ready to see the animals?" another one of the handlers said.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered.
"Okay then. Can anyone tell me what this animal is?" the first handler asked, picking a snake up out of a box.
Tara raised her hand.
"Is it a snake?"
"Well done, young lady! It is indeed a snake!" the second handler said, clapping.
"Now who wants to stroke the snake?" the first handler asked. A lot of the children hid under the chairs at the idea of stroking a snake.
"Me!" Casper practically yelled.
"Such a brave young man." the second handler said, and he handed Casper the snake.
Casper held the snake with great delight. But then Skittle noticed some skin starting to come off the snake.
"Um, Tara?" she asked, nervously poking her best friend.
But Tara was ignoring her. Before she knew it, Casper was covered in snake skin. The snake had obviously chosen to shed at a very bad time.
"Agh!" Casper yelled, noticing the snake skin.
The whole class started to laugh, then one of the handlers rushed over and got the snake skin off him. Casper then ran to the toilet in embarrassment.
And Skittle couldn't stop laughing.

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
