Once upon a time there lived a young boy not 

in the lands of kings and queens, but near our 

modern times where he ruled his own 

kingdom. This trouble some boy's kingdom 

was well... a playground. His name was 

Gabriel or "King Gabe" as he liked to be called 

by his friends.

Gabriel was not so popular in school. As he 

would always bully other students by sealing 

their lunch money and food. Worst of all he 

controlled the only fun place that the kids 

liked to hang out at, which was the 

playground. Since Gabriel was a scary kid 

nobody would dare disobey him, not even his 

friends. 

So when it was time to go to the playground 

Gabriel was the one who decided what games 

to play. Not only that, but if somebody wanted 

to play on the swings, sides, or any other 

equipment they need to ask for his permission.

Gabriel had some friends, they did not like the 

way he acted especially Riley. His friends were 

James, Max, and of course Riley. 

One day Riley decided to go on the swings 

without asking for Gabriel's permission. As 

soon a he saw her, Gabe was furious. Even 

though Riley was one of his best friends, no 

one was allowed to disobey his rules. He 

feared that if one of his closest friends did not 

listen to him then why should every one else. 

Gabe needed to punish her in some way. 

"Hey Riley! What do you think you're doing?" 

shouted gabriel as he walked up to her.

"I'm playing on the swing" replied Riley.

"Did you forget the rules? You need to ask me 

if you are allowed to swing first," said Gabriel.

"Why should I? You're not the boss!" Riley said 

in an angry tone.

Now frustrated, Gabriel didn't want to look bad 

in front of the other kids. 

Then Gabriel said with a grin, " Fine then, 

you're not allowed to play on the playground 

for the rest of the month!"

" Oh yeah? Just you wait and see, I'm telling 

the principal!" Riley shouted and ran off, 

James and max following behind.

Principal Clarkson was an old short man, who 

rarely smiled. Gabriel was sent to his office 

many times in the past and he wasn't afraid to 

go again. They both naturally hated each other 

and Mr. Clarkson can't stand Gabriel. When 

Gabriel finally saw the principal about the 

playground incident, he was given a lunch 

detention.  

That was Riley's plan after all. She wanted to 

have a meeting with the other kids at the 

playground, during lunch time at which Gabriel 

would not be there. She wanted to find a way 

to stop him from controlling them.

"Does anybody have an idea of how we can 

stop Gabriel?" asked Riley.

Then James excitedly said, "Ooh! We should 

start ignoring him and not play at the 

playground until he realizes he made a 

mistake."

"That's a good idea but i don't think it   would 

be enough" said Riley.

"Then how we make him sign rules that he 

must follow?" suggested Max.

"That's a great idea!"said Riley.

The next day when Gabriel went to play he 

noticed that the playground was empty and 

there was no one to talk to. When he finally 

found his friends they would not speak to him 

and just kept ignoring him. They finally left 

and Gabriel was alone and had nothing to do, 

but sit alone in an empty playground.
