Locked In The Cupboard (age 3)

It was a new day in the nursery and the children were getting toys and games out of the toy cupboard (closet) for their golden time. Rainbow had gone over to the cupboard to get a game of snap for her and her friends to play. The only thing was Gilda was stood next to the cupboard and rainbow felt really uncomfortable around Gilda as for some reason she didn't like her.


Gilda: what are doing here crash?


Rainbow: *not responding and just walks towards the cupboard door*


Gilda: *blocking the door and shouting in rainbows face* I SAID, WHAT ARE DOING HERE CRASH?!


Rainbow: *stutters* I-I j-just W-want t-to g-go I-in t-the c-cupboard.


Gilda: *teasingly* aww I tell you what then you can go in the cupboard and stay in there!


She pushed rainbow into to cupboard and then locked the door, the lock in high up so she had to use a chair to reach it. Once she did this she left rainbow locked in and went to play with her friends.


*time skip to end of golden time*


Miss feather boa: ok kids come on it's time to start packing away now!


Fluttershy: *worried* miss feather boa?


Miss feather boa: what is it sweetie?


Fluttershy: we can't find rainbow anywhere. She went to get a game out the cupboard and she didn't come back.


Miss feather boa: that's odd maybe she went to the toilet...


Then she heard crying coming from the toy cupboard and rushed over to see what it was. When she opened the door she was horrified to see rainbow sat with her head in her arms crying her eyes out. She was also shaking and sweating as the cupboard was quite small and could become very warm if the door is closed.


Miss Feather boa: *picks rainbow up and speaks angrily to the class* does anyone know who is responsible for this?


*no response*


Miss feather boa: unless I find out who has done this none of you are getting golden time tomorrow.


Fleet foot: *quickly* it was Gilda miss feather boa.


Gilda: *glares* thanks fleet.


Miss feather boa: I should of known it was you Gilda. Right come with to the office please.


Miss feather boa took Gilda and rainbow to the office and also had the school nurse come to check that rainbow was ok. Both girls parents had been called and windy had bought a set of pyjamas to change rainbow into as her clothes had become soaked with sweat and tears.


Miss feather boa: right Mrs whistles, I think rainbow will be ok she's just a little shaken up.


Windy whistles: thank you miss feather boa. Am I alright to take her home now?


Miss feather boa: yeah that's absolutely fine and if you want to keep off school tomorrow that's alright as well.


Windy whistles: thank you.


*time skip to back and rainbows house*


Rainbow and her family were sitting on the sofa watching the and rainbow was still really shook up the cupboard incident. They'd found out from the school that Gilda had been suspended from the nursery for a week and if she did anything else to hurt rainbow ,or any other child for that matter she would be permanently excluded.


Rainbow: *rubs her eyes from tiredness* mummy?


Windy whistles: *strokes rainbows hair* what is sweetie?


Rainbow: why does Gilda not like me?


Windy whistles: *sighs not knowing how to answer* i don't know baby sometimes people just don't like others, but that doesn't mean they should be mean to you.


Rainbow: *crying* it was really scary in the cupboard mummy.


Windy whistles: *puts rainbow on the lap and rocks her gently* shhh I know it was baby but it's over now. Why don't you have a sleep and hopefully you'll feel better after?


Rainbow: ok.


Within minutes rainbow was fast asleep and hopefully the cupboard incident will never happen again.
