Friendship is forever (Open)

Birdkit sat right outside the nursery, watching the other kits play. He felt bad because he wanted to play, too, but the other kits weren't nice to him because he was clumsy. About 2 moons ago, when he first left the nursery to try fresh-kill, he tore his ear on a stray bramble and everybody laughed at him. Whenever he asked if he could play a game with the other kits, the response was always the same. "You're too clumsy. You 're SO clumsy, you might lose the mossball when you knock it three tail-lengths away!" Birkit sighed.

The little gray tabby she-kit padded up to the older kit. She stopped in front of him and sat down. She looked up expectantly at him. Hi! She mewled loudly. I'm Rainkit. She looked into his eyes with her gray ones. What'cha doing? He looked alone. Why is he alone? There are lots of other kits to play with! She sat there, her tail wrapped round her paws, waiting for an answer.

Birdkit didn't respond, but instead stared right at the other kit with subtle hatred in his eyes. Great, another attack of sarcasm. He thought. He had been tormented like this before; the other kits talked in loud voices about letting him play with them. Then they laughed and walked off.

She was surprised when the older kit looked at her with hatred in his eyes. What did I do? She turned away, tears rolling down her face. I did something wrong and now Birdkit hates me. but what did I do? She sat down a few tail lengths away with a sad look on her face, her eyes closed. She curled up into a ball and thought sadly, why?

Seeing Rainkit curl up into a ball like that made Birdkit feel a stab of sympathy. He inched closer and said "I'm sorry I upset you. The other kits make fun of me because I'm clumsier than them, and I thought you were being sarcastic about wanting to be friends." He looked at her with regret in his eyes. "I mess everything up."
