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 6 - Moving Day

Chapter 6 - Moving Day The next morning, it was Saturday. Skittle Aradito woke up to a loud sound coming from down the road.
"What is that?" she murmured to herself as she sleepily opened the curtains to look at what was going on.
Outside Tara's house, there were lots of white vans with men in suits putting all of her furniture into the vans. It was clear what was going on. It was moving day. Skittle had forgotten that today was the day that Tara would be moving to the countryside. She sighed miserably. She was going to miss her best friend. They were like sisters, they did everything together. Skittle decided to have her last moments with Tara while she was in the country. So she quickly pulled on a jumper and pants over her pyjamas, and she put on her trainers. She rushed down the road to Tara's house, and she could just see her best friend sat on the wall outside her house. She ran over to talk to her.
"Hi, Tara!" Skittle said, breathless from running.
"Oh, hey there, Skittle. What are you doing up so early?" Tara said. She wasn't used to seeing the black-and-blonde haired girl up this early.
"I came down to see you before you leave, you know, so we could have our last moments together before you go." Skittle explained.
"Aww, that's sweet." Tara laughed.
Skittle laughed too.
"I guess. What are you up to?"
"I'm just sat out here, chilling out." Tara said.
Then Tara's mum came out of the house.
"Say goodbye to Skittle now, Tara. We have to go now."
Tara looked at Skittle apologetically.
"I wish I didn't have to leave."
"I wish you didn't have to leave too." Skittle said.
"I'm so sorry. I'll visit you sometime, I promise." Tara said.
Then she got into the car and drove away, waving as she got further and further away. Skittle kept waving back, smiling brightly.
But then Tara was no more than a tiny speck in the distance, and Skittle's smile slowly faded to a frown.

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
