*twitch* how is that possible for a rat boy... oh yea this is fantasy Fiction, poor little rat kid, i think he is going to get a nice slap to the face when he tries to nibble at the back of her neck
Life's a B*tch, slap it upside the head.

All the kids bully me because of my snout and furry nose. At play-time I roam around sniffing people, hoping that this action will gain me a friend but it doesn't. Sometimes when I am alone with my pet brick, I cry. It's not my fault my mum's a rat and my dad's a human, I'm just the unlucky offspring.

Tommorow I'm going to have a go at winning Jane over, I'm going to nibble the back of her neck like rats do to other rats before they mate. It has to work this time. It's got to.


I edited this for you. Changed a couple of words because I didn't think "score" really works, unless you want to be really slangy. As a piece of comedy, I thought it was pretty funny. The last line was actually really good. I changed the last two clauses to fragments on their own because I think it makes it more powerful. Of course, this is all suggestions.

I'd extend this if I were you, play around with the humour of being a rat/human - you could have some sort of cheese incident, or being chased by a cat?

Very bad descriptions. No reference to where the protagonist is, what he is doing, basic things that are necessary to give readers a picture of what is happening. The few descriptions are unorganized. Slow down next time.
