Darkness Falls (1)

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 4 - The Announcement

Chapter 4 - The Announcement The next day, Skittle was sat at her group's table as usual. Casper was throwing pencils at her from across the table.
"Don't do that, Casper. You could seriously hurt someone." Skittle warned him.
"Good." Casper said with an evil grin.
Skittle couldn't believe he had said that. That was just pure evil. But she chose to ignore the pencils bouncing off her black and blonde striped wavy hair. She turned to chat to Tara.
"Tara?" Skittle said, tapping her best friend's arm.
But Tara didn't answer. She was staring at nowhere in particular with a faraway look in her eyes.
"Tara!" Skittle repeated, poking her.
But she still didn't respond. Skittle felt a bit worried. Why wasn't she answering her? Then the teacher stepped up to the front of the class.
"Class, I'm afraid we have some bad news."
Skittle gasped. What could it be? Maybe the school had been burgled last night. Or one of the kids got kidnapped? Or the school was closing down?
"Tara, can you come up to the front, please?" the teacher said.
Skittle's eyes widened. If the teacher was calling Tara up to the front, the bad news must be about her. And the bad news must be why Tara wasn't answering her before.
"Your classmate Tara will be leaving very soon. Her parents have gotten new jobs to run a book shop up in the countryside, so she has to move." the teacher told everyone.

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
