“Tick tock! 

The clock is 

ticking. 

We gotta 

climb down

 or else…… 

Once upon a time,   there was a Dessert School hidden high up in the mountains where no humans could find it. The students there were not humans; they were all desserts. 

Tiramisu was a new student. It was her first day at her new school. She came from another land where she had lots and lots of friends. “I don’t have any friends because I don’t know how to make friends in a school I have never been to before,” Tiramisu sighed as she walked into the school.

“Aha!” I said. 

Aha! Now I know! I can use bullying to help myself fit in!

As they walked to school, enjoying the gentle breeze and looking at the cloudy sky, Jelly suddenly said,  “Such great weather. Such a long road to school, isn’t it, Cookie? I hope our friendship will be longer than this road!”  

    “I heard there is a new student in our class. We should be kind to her and help her adapt to our school,’’ suggested Cookie. 

Yeah! I agree.

Ahh~ Such good weather

When they arrived at school, the teacher introduced the new student, Tiramisu. Jelly and Cookie welcomed her, but Tiramisu rolled her eyes. Jelly and Cookie thought that was very strange, but maybe Tiramisu just did that because she didn’t know them yet.

I don't like them!!!!!

Tiramisu thought that she wanted friends like them, but how? She didn't know what to do, so she decided to be mean. Tiramisu walked up to them in the hallway. “You’re bad at everything and nothing compared to me.” Tiramisu teased Jelly and Cookie. 

    She threw their science books into the trash can, even though she knew they loved science. As Jelly and Cookie were entering the science classroom, Tiramisu showed up again! “You are no good at science, ha, ha, ha!” Tiramisu shouted. 

    Jelly thought Tiramisu must be in a bad mood, so she didn’t feel anything. Cookie felt sad because she was scared of mean people.

so scary!

Jelly and Cookie were watering their lovely plants. 

Suddenly, Tiramisu poured a bottle of chemicals onto the plants. “Why is she so mean; what’s her problem?” thought Jelly.

“Why do you want to grow plants? They look so ugly and gross; no one will ever want them! Stop growing these things!" Tiramisu smirked. 

Jelly and Cookie were too scared, they didn’t dare to stand up for themselves. Instead, they threw the pots of plants outside the school, hoping that doing so would stop Tiramisu from saying nasty things to them. Still scared, they couldn’t focus on what they loved the most, and they could see their grades sliding down. Cookie got away and ran to the bathroom, crying out loud. Jelly was still figuring out how to solve their problem. Together, they didn’t know how to face bullying, but they had to make a plan……

Don't cry, Cookie! We will figure this out!

"Let's make a welcome card for her and ask her why she is acting strange lately," said Jelly to Cookie. 

But then...

"Ok!" said Cookie. But inside her heart she was very scared and worried that she and Jelly would be doomed.
