Kristina got bullied- story by Sneha

It was a nice autumn morning and Kristina was cycling towards her school on her bike. “It’s so beautiful out here!”, she said to herself.

“Whoosh!” somebody ran by so fast.

“Hey! What was that weird noise?”, wondered Kristina. Suddenly, a raspy voice said. “Give me all your lunch money!” Kristina was shocked. She had been taking this route for the past 3 years, since 2^nd grade. And this voice sounded a bit familiar...

Kristina then remembered that voice. It was the voice of Cassidy, her best friend who had been expelled from school last month because Kristina had set off the fire alarm in school accidentally, in the presence of Cassidy's arch-nemesis, Natalie. Natalie had told to our principal, Mr. Brown that Cassidy had pulled off the alarm. Cassidy got expelled and before she left the school, she said angrily “Why did you have to set off that alarm? It’s now all your fault that I’m getting expelled!

I’ll never, ever be friends with you again!” and with that, she stormed off. Kristina ran after Cassidy shouting, “Cassidy, wait! I’m very sorry about doing this!” But Cassidy turned a deaf ear towards her plea and marched out of the school.

Kristina’s reminiscence of that bitter memory brought her back to the loud voice. She asked “Cassidy? Is that you?” That raspy voice answered again. “ Yes, it’s me. From now onwards, every day, you must give me all your lunch money and starve during lunchtime.”

Kristina agreed sadly, and gave her the lunch money. This happened for a month. Every day, Kristina would give Cassidy her lunch money. Kristina’s mother and father started to notice that Kristina was becoming weaker and thinner. One day, she collapsed after lunch during her Science period. She went home with her mother. Her mother asked her, “Have you been eating lunch lately at school properly?” Kristina cried and told her mother how Cassidy bullied her into giving up her lunch money.

That night, Kristina’s mother told Kristina’s father about how Kristina was being bullied by Cassidy. Kristina’s father decided to arrange a meeting with Mr. Brown in the morning. In the meeting, Kristina’s father persuaded Mr. Brown to let Cassidy back into the school. After a long discussion, Mr. Brown finally gave in to Kristina’s father and they sent a letter of admission to Cassidy.

Soon, Cassidy stopped bullying Kristina and at school, they were best friends again. After a few days, Natalie came over to both of them and said, “Cassidy and Kristina, I’m very sorry about the way I used to behave with you. If you forgive me, can I also be your friend?”

After much thought, both Cassidy and Kristina agreed that Natalie could be their friend. From then onwards, Natalie, Cassidy, and Kristina became,

Best Friends Forever!
