Short story 1984

Elizabeth is a part of the group, but if it wasn't for Celia, she knows that she would be the next in line to get mobbed and teased by the others. That really worries her.
Elizabeth's mother always tells Elizabeth to be nice to Celia and to treat her with respect, but Elizabeth is to stubborn to see that her mother is right.
One day at school a rich girl from Grade 4, who name is Sandra has some
milk-chocolate, which she is giving little pieces of to Elizabeth's classmates. Elizabeth asks if she can have some, but Sandra says that the last bit is for Celia...
