Firekit woke up to a bright morning. His bright flame colored hair, shined in the morning sun. His buddy, Graykit was waking up. His dark gray hair was all crumpled. His amber eyes were glinting. "Ready for kindergarten, Firekit?"

"Of course I'm ready! All I have to do is get dressed!"

Firekit pulled on an orange t-shirt, and orange and green camo shorts. Graykit pulled on a gray tank top, and blue old looking jeans.

They went downstairs to breakfast, and gulped up their cereal. "Cereal has never tasted this good!" Graykit said.

"Of course you think that! All you want to do is eat!" Firekit said teasingly.

"You never actually thoroughly eat your food!" Graykit said in his defense.

"Yes I do! You eat too much! Now finish, the bus is here!" Firekit yelled, as he raced Graykit to the bus.

They got surprised by the other kindergartners in their class, Sandkit, Dustkit, Splashkit, and Ravenkit.

Sandkit was a beauty. She had pale ginger hair and green eyes, Dustkit had dark brown with amber eyes, and Ravenkit had black hair with a white dash through it.

To Firekit's surprise, Dustkit, and Sandkit seemed to hate him already. He plopped down in a seat next to Graykit, and stared out the window.

I hate kindergarten. Am I haven't even started school yet. And kids already hate me.

Firekit looked out the window while his "Best friend" chatted away with the kid with the black and white hair. Why does he already have friends? Firekit thought bitterly. He always had trouble making friends.

Eventually, they arrived at the school, and Firekit saw a couple other kids, that looked too small for kindergarten. Brownkit, Wetkit, and Littlekit.

Hopefully they weren't in his class. They looked like preschoolers!

As kids filtered in, they went to the auditorium. The principals were there. Bluestar, Tallstar, Crookedstar, and Brokenstar.

"Welcome to school! We will be starting a new year, and a new rule! No being grumpy! That includes *cough Mousepaw cough*" Bluestar said into the mike.

"Hurry up! The older graduated students will be teaching you. 'Kits, your name 'kit' means you are an elementary student. If you are a 'paw' you are in middle school. If you have a name, you are in high school and/or college. Got it!" Brokenstar yelled into the sound system.

"Time to go to class, sweetums." Bluestar said.

Firekit ran to homeroom faster than he had ever run before. Graykit caught up to him.

"Finished gossiping with your friend?" Firekit teased.

"Hey! We were not gossiping! He was my friend at daycare for goodness sake!" Graykit said defensively.

"I bet I can beat you to homeroom." Firekit said, and Graykit hurled after him.

He raced around corridors, only to spot his Splashkit talking to the teacher.

Firekit rounded the corner, only to see their teacher. He had dark brown hair, and amber eyes.

"Hurry up." He growled.

"Welcome to class. My name is Tigerclaw."

This teacher is going to be trouble.
