The next day at school, Skittle was still alone. Nobody would talk to her or want anything to do with her. So she decided to admit to herself that she was indeed a loner. She decided to try and ignore Casper's taunting as best as she could, and just get on with life without friends.
That day at playtime, Skittle sat in silence on one of the swings again. Casper came over to her and started annoying her.
"Hey, Skittle! You're so stupid and weak!" he said.
Skittle ignored him.
"Skittle, are you even alive? You must not have a brain if you're not answering me." Casper said, sniggering.
Then Skittle couldn't take it anymore. Something deep inside her was unleashed as she stood up on the swing and threw herself on top of Casper. She raised her fist high in the air and punched him in the face.
"Ow! Skittle, what are you doing?" he wailed.
Skittle didn't answer. A small amount of satisfaction crept over her. She then grabbed his arm and nipped him as hard as she could. Casper couldn't do anything as she attacked him. His normally confident and smiling face went pale with fear when Skittle suddenly bit his other arm.
"Skittle, why are you hurting me?" Casper said, beginning to cry.
"Oh, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine." Skittle said, finding a new confidence within herself.
Then the bell went, and Skittle ran to get in her class's line. She smiled, pleased with herself. Then Casper appeared behind her. His tears were gone, and he had an evil smirk on his face.
"Not bad, Muscle Woman."
