Wanna Be
It was a normal day at the high school for the Clans. What was not so normal, however, was the exchange that went on inside.
"Wannabe! Wannabe! You're just Ivypaw's wannabe!" taunted a ShadowClan she-cat's posse.
Icepaw backed up against the wall. "No!" she denied it. "I am not a wannabe!"
"Oh, right; and it's as if you really expect us to believe you," sighed Ivypaw dramatically, rolling her eyes up towards the ceiling.
"Seriously."
"Well…. Why did you try to tease Owlpaw, then?! You know that only we taunt Owlpaw!"
Icepaw widened her eyes, and feigned innocence. "Me? Why would I do that?" She hid a grin.
"Because," Ivypaw said threateningly, "You wanna be like us! You want to take our place as the head clique of the school, don't you?!"
"N-No!" Icepaw protested.
"Give her a break." Hollypaw had suddenly appeared at her friend's side, her eyes shining. "Listen, I know that you like to taunt her and tease her, and that you think that she wants to take over the school, but you're wrong. I do!" she declared.
The girls tried to smile, but the smiles were frozen on their faces. Then, Ivypaw's hardened into a look of annoyance. "Do you really think that you can do it?!" she hissed menacingly.
"Yes," Hollypaw said, really confident right now. "I'm not just some wannabe, like you are!"
