Private sits द्वारा himself at the lunch table. He hears the other जानवर laughing and pointing at him.

A monkey comes up to him and looks at him with a smile and his hands behind his back.

Private looks up and smiles back, about to say hello. "Maybe he wants to be my friend" He thought. As he opened his mouth the monkey quickly took out a pie from behind his back and slammed it into the poor penguins face.

"Haha take that tubby!" Someone yelled in the group the monkey came from. The whole cafeteria then started to laugh at Private. Then the monkey went back to the group. "How was that?" the mammal asked.

"That was just the thing to शामिल होइए our group, man आप are gonna fit in just nicely!" कहा a wolf.

The monkey looked back at the पेंगुइन saddly wiping the pie off his face, while the rest of the lunch room was still laughing. The wave of guilt washed over him.

The भेड़िया looked at the monkey and put his arm around him. "Hey, don't worry kid. We make fun of him and he doesn't mind. It makes him feel wanted. Thats what this group does we make the, er, quiet ones feel wanted." He looked at the monkey and continued," if आप want to stay in this group and be somebody, then that is what आप do..... आप don't want to be a nobody, do you?" He eyed him.

The monkey shook his head rapidly, "Oh, no, no I'll do anything to be in this group." Seeing that the भेड़िया was satisfied and turned to the senior members of the group the monkey turned his back to the penguin. "I don't want him dead, या anything...ah maybe he will understand.....

At another तालिका, टेबल a लोमड़ी, फॉक्स watched the whole thing happen द्वारा herself, she felt so helpless to help the पेंगुइन in need....

~Later~

School was out and Private walked द्वारा himself on the sidewalk all the way home. आप could hear

sniffleling from him."Maybe I should just kill myself today, I mean no one wants me at the school. They all make fun of me.....

_____

The अगला दिन at school आप see a पेंगुइन walking toward the field house. Something black hanging from his flippers. "Might as well do it at school. To let them see how much pain they have caused me. They won't spread rumors of what happened to me. या maybe they won't care at all and go on with the day..."

आप could hear a faint whisper calling his name... "Private!" He looked up at the sky. Was that his maker calling him? Was he approving of his choice? It came louder, and louder. No it couldn't be. How could it become louder. No it was a female voice. He quickly turned around. He saw a लोमड़ी, फॉक्स running toward him.

He've seen this लोमड़ी, लोमडी before, he always saw her sitting द्वारा herself either in the lunchroom या out in the courtyard under a tree. He hid the metal object behind his back, as the लोमड़ी, लोमडी caught up.

He waited as the लोमड़ी, फॉक्स caught her breath. "it is Private right?" the पेंगुइन nodded. "Thats a cool name," Shaking her head she continued, "anyways what are आप doing out here? It's almost lunch time and I saw आप in the hallway and I followed you." She quickly paused and continued. " No stalker intended"

Private smiled at her a bit then frowned. "Yeah, so आप found me, and?" He looked over at the bushes. "You've come to make fun of me to शामिल होइए Dodge's group?"

The fox's ears went down and she cast a glance at her paws, " N-no, I would never want to शामिल होइए that group, I saw what they did to you. I don't want any part of that..." She looked Private in his eyes. " I just wanted to know if आप wanted to have lunch with me. आप know maybe talk and stuff. Become फ्रेंड्स आप know..."

The word, that word! Friends... He then took a quick glance at his back. "Not today" He thought. He then

looked back at his future friend. "sure." was all Private could say.

Her ear went back up and her green eyes brightened. "Really!" But that one सेकंड that he looked at his back. That one सेकंड where he went in thought, that one सेकंड his eyes brightened. What was he hiding back there? "If आप don't mind me asking, but what is behind your back?" Questioned the vixen.

Private's grip on the object loosened and he sheepishly took it out of hiding. The look on the fox's face was unbelievable. In the penguins hand was a hand gun.

"Private! आप weren't thinking?..."

He nodded. "No one wants me at the school so I thought that if I killed myself then the pain of the unwanted will be freed and they can go on with feeling the pain that I felt.

The लोमड़ी, फॉक्स shook her head and grabbed the gun, put it on the ground, and started to dig. "Killing yourself is never the answer. Its the worst and selfish thing to do." Seeing the hole big enough she carefully picked up the gun in her mouth and placed it in. Continueing on, and reburring it. "When some one kills themselves they don't ever think of the pain that is caused on their family". Her voice choking she continued."...The pain that the parents won't ever see their child again, the pain that there is not another birthday to celebrate.... The pain of not ever seeing that child graduating high school, or... या seeing what the parents could never be." She looked down at the now burried gun.

Private was speachless. All that pain for many year's for his parents, and his brother. He was only thinking of his own actions. "I promise..." the लोमड़ी, फॉक्स looked up and wiped away tears that escaped. "I promise that I will never think about it again." He hugged the fox. "But now knowing that I have at least people who want me around, and now I can add one और to that list."

The penguin's now new friend hugged him back and pulled away. "Same here." was all she said.

The ring of the school घंटी, बेल sounded.

Smiling the लोमड़ी, फॉक्स turned and looked back at Private. "come on lets go have lunch" She started her way to the building.

Private waddled at her side. "You know I never caught your name."

The लोमड़ी, लोमडी giggled and looked at him. "Name's Cadet."
