For about two minutes, I’m too shocked to do anything apart from stare at the screen in disbelief. Gradually, those few short words sink in.

Instinct is telling me that I’m making a huge mistake and I shouldn’t look any more. But it’s as if I’m hypnotised by the screen. As I click on the link, my stomach starts to churn. There are so many comments. Most of the nastier ones have been posted by the same person . . . Shannon.

Half a page down and still reading, I hear a noise behind me. Alarmed, I spin round. It’s Danny.

‘Want to play my new computer game with me?’ he asks.

‘Go away, Danny.’

‘It’s really good – it’s got giraffes —’

‘No . . . go away!’ I explode.

His little face crumples and I suddenly feel mean. None of this is his fault. ‘Sorry, Danny,’ I mumble.

‘What’s wrong?’ he asks.

‘Nothing. I’m fine.’

I wonder if I should tell Mum or someone, but instantly reject the idea. Instead, I close the page and frantically log off.

‘There,’ I tell Danny a minute later as I get up and offer him my chair. ‘It’s all yours.’
