Bullied (age 7)

It was a new day at school and rainbow was not looking forward to it. Gilda and her friend Greta who were in the year above had been bullying rainbow for weeks, it started off with name calling and just other verbal abuse, but now it had become physical and rainbow was having to hide the cuts and bruises from her parents.


Windy whistles: dashie? Time for school!


Rainbow was really not in the mood for school today, but she knew she had no choice.


Rainbow: coming!


Windy whistles: have a good day sweetie!


Rainbow: thanks mum, bye!


*time skip to at school*


Rainbow was walking through the corridor when she heard someone about her name.


Greta: hey look Gilda there she is!


Gilda: I see her Greta, let's get her!


They started chasing rainbow down the corridor and eventually they pushed her into a corner where they knew no one would see.


Gilda: so what you doing here crash?


Rainbow: *nervously* uhh I go to school here?


Gilda: *angry* DON'T GET SMART WITH ME,YOU RAINBOW FREAK! Greta I think someone needs to be taught a lesson.


Greta: already a step ahead of you.


After a few minutes they finished beating rainbow up. The places where they had punched and kicked were places that were easily hidden by rainbows clothing. Luckily because rainbow was a year younger than her bullies she didn't have to deal with them during class time.


Miss stargazer: right kids time for PE!


Rainbow had completely forgotten about PE, this meant she had to get changed, which meant everyone would see her bruises, not to mention the fact she was really sore.


Rainbow: uh miss stargazer?


Miss stargazer: yes rainbow dash?


Rainbow: can I skip PE today?


This confused her teacher as rainbow usually loved PE.


Miss stargazer: why sweetie? Are you not feeling very well?


Rainbow: *mumbled* just don't feel like it.


Miss stargazer: well ok then.


Rainbow: thank you.


As the weeks went on the bullying got worse. Gilda and Greta had even got their friends hoops and dumbbell to join in with the name calling. But that wasn't the worst of it, to begin with it was only happening on school grounds but then one day rainbow and her family had gone to the park. Rainbow had kicked the football a little bit too far and when she went to get it... all four of the bullies jumped out of the bushes.


Hoops: hey look it's the rainbow freak!


Dumbbell: you here with mummy and daddy?


Gilda: will you two stop it?! Now rainbow freak, we're going to take this ball and if you say anything about it you will get hurt is that understood?


Rainbow: *nods*


Gilda: good, let's go!


*back to rainbows family*


Windy whistles: sweetie where's the ball?


Rainbow: *scared* I um lost it.


Bow hothoof: never mind kiddo, we'll just get a new one.


*skip to a few weeks later*


The bullying had now gotten so bad that it was making rainbow physically sick. She hadn't told her parents this as she didn't want to bother them. But today she really was not feeling to good.


Rainbow: mummy? I don't feel good, can I stay home?


Windy whistles: *feels rainbows forehead* you're not warm dashie.


Rainbow: *in pain* please my stomach really hurts!


Windy whistles: *sighs* go to school and if your not feeling well later I'll come and get you ok?


Rainbow: ok.


Rainbow and her friends were now in class learning about the water cycle, but all rainbow could think about was trying not to throw up, she'd had a run in with the bullies again and she didn't know how much more she could take. She felt her head spin and her stomach twist.


Rainbow: *raises hand* miss stargazer can I please go to the toilet?


Miss stargazer: in a minute rainbow, let's just finish this then you can go.


Rainbow: ok.


After a few seconds rainbow realised she couldn't wait, but just as she was about to ask again she threw up all over the classroom carpet, this caused some of the other students to laugh. Miss stargazer walked over to rainbow and picked her up (she's not heavy)


Miss stargazer: *to students* ok everyone settle down it's not funny. Sunset can you go and fetch the caretaker to clean up this mess? Everyone else back to work! *to rainbow* come on sweetie, let's go to the nurse and call mummy to come and pick you up.


She took rainbow to the nurse where windy was called to come and pick rainbow up.


Windy whistles: I'm sorry I sent you this morning baby, after you said you weren't feeling well.


Rainbow: it's ok mummy.


They got home and windy decided to ask rainbow some questions.


Windy whistles: sweetie you've been really quiet recently, is it just an upset stomach you've got or something else?


Rainbow: it's nothing else.


Windy whistles: *tucking a piece of rainbows hair behind her ear* cause you know if there is you can tell me don't you?


Just as she said that, the dam broke and rainbow started to bawl into her mother's arms. Windy spent around 20 minutes gently rocking and shushing her until she eventually calmed down.


Windy whistles: there we go, now tell me what's happened.


Rainbow told windy all about the bullying.


Windy whistles: oh sweetie why didn't say something?


Rainbow: *ashamed* I was scared. Sorry mummy!


Windy whistles: hey don't apologise baby, you've got nothing to be sorry for. I promise this will be dealt with.


And it was. Gilda and her gang were suspended for a week and they never bothered rainbow again.


A/N: sorry for the awful ending. Enjoy!
