Once Skittle heard those words, her whole world was shattered to pieces. Her best friend Tara, her other half, her only friend, was leaving her. If Tara was gone, who would she play with at playtime in the schoolyard? All the other children her age despised her and wouldn't go anywhere near her, and when they did, it was usually to mock her.
Skittle burst into tears and ran out of the classroom, slamming the door behind her.
"Skittle, where are you going?" the teacher called after her, but she took no notice.
She stormed into the girls' bathroom, locked herself in a cubicle and let all her emotions out. She cried quietly, but she had almost used up a whole toilet roll with her tears. Then suddenly Skittle heard a voice.
"Skittle, are you okay in there?"
It was Tara. The teacher had obviously sent her to look for her.
"Go away!" the eight-year-old girl sobbed.
"But, Skittle..." Tara started.
"No! You left me! And now I'm going to have to be on my own for the rest of my life!"
"But, Skittle, you don't understand. I don't want to move to the countryside."
"Yes, but you are doing. And you can't change that."
Skittle then stormed out of the cubicle and back into the classroom.
