Write about a time you mocked somebody.
“Come on, Ganymede, you only have two left. What is one more throw, yeah?” Mischievous eyes hide nothing; boasting, braggart-like and inherently over-confident, Eros waits with confidence of victory near at hand. Golden knucklebones is not really his favorite game but winning at anything is almost better than ambrosia and Ganymede always makes it so easy.
“Ahahahaha! You lost!” Yes, he is happy dancing and gloating over a small victory such as this. He is a child, what does one really expect.
Ganymede, sullen and pouty; rightfully so, glares at Eros for a full five seconds before shrugging his shoulders. Yes, what can one really expect? He but a mere mortal, allowed to live among the gods by Zeus’ good favor. Surely, the fates would favor little Eros. Doesn’t mean Ganymede cannot think the cherub nothing short of a spoiled brat as he dances around the courtyard with an armful of golden knucklebones. When the erote is not looking, he sticks out his tongue before eyes widen when a woman approaches.
“Hey Eros, your mother is here.” Yes, that is smirking coming from Ganymede as Eros stiffens, letting his mother cup his chin and chastise him for not playing fair.
found here"[Aphrodite] set out, and after searching up and down Olympos for her boy, found him far away in the fruit-laden orchard of Zeus. With him was Ganymede, whose beauty had so captivated Zeus that he took him up to heaven to live with the immortals. The two lads, who had much in common, were playing with golden knuckle-bones. Eros, the greedy boy, was standing there with a whole handful of them clutched to his breast and a happy flush of mantling his cheeks. Near by sat Ganymede, hunched up, silent and disconsolate with only two left. He threw these for what they were worth in quick succession and was furious when Eros laughed. Of course he lost them both immediately - they joined the rest. So he went off in despair with empty hands and did not notice the goddess’s approach.
Aphrodite came up to her boy, took his chin in her hand and said: ‘Why this triumphant smile, you rascal? I do believe you won the game unfairly be cheating a beginner." - Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.82
