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 8 - Izzy To The Rescue

Chapter 8 - Izzy To The Rescue Skittle didn't know why none of the teachers had noticed she was upset yet, and why nobody had offered her a tissue. She was just sat there crying when she heard a voice.
"Leave her alone, bully!"
She looked up and saw the girl named Izzy yelling at Casper. Skittle looked up gratefully and smiled.
"I can say what I want to her." Casper said, raising his eyebrows.
"Um, no you can't. She never did anything to you, and you're just being mean for the sake of it, so that's bullying." Izzy pointed out.
"It's not. The teachers said in assembly that it's only bullying if it goes on for ages." Casper protested.
"Yes, but you were still upsetting her and making fun of her." Izzy said.
"You can't tell me what to do anyway. You're not the teacher." Casper said.
"Yes, but the teachers hardly ever do anything around here, so I take it upon myself to to sort things out." Izzy replied, then she looked down at Skittle and smiled.
"Thanks for saving me." Skittle said gratefully.
"No problem." replied Izzy, winking.
"Why did you save me anyway? Everyone around here hates me and they think I'm a weird loner girl." Skittle asked.
"Well, I just couldn't stand seeing such a friendly-looking girl like you being picked on by that boy. And I'm pretty sure what they say isn't true." Izzy told her.
"It is true though. I have no friends." Skittle admitted, hanging her head in shame.
"Aww, why?" Izzy wanted to know.
"I did have a best friend, the best friend I could ever ask for, but she moved away because her parents wanted to set up a book shop in the countryside." Skittle said sadly.
"Well, how about I be your new best friend? I'll help you and be just as much of a good friend as your old best friend was." Izzy offered.
"Thank you! I'm so happy to have actually made a friend! And I'm sure you can help me!" Skittle said happily.
"Well, consider me your new best friend." Izzy said, grinning.

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
