Chapter 28: What happened here
"Brittany and Royce up a tree. K.I.S.C.I.N.G" Nancy starts singing in a loud voice while Daniel looked at her with a look of amusement and awe wondering how childish this girl really was.
"It’s K.I.S.S Nancy. There’s no C." Talia sighed as she explained, patting her friend’s hand while Dora just glared at her in irritation. Who doesn’t know how to spell it? She was obviously looking for attention. She saw the way Daniel turned to look at her. He hadn’t even glanced in her direction and was already leaving; with John behind him.
Jephthah was the last to pile his gathering and join the guys back in the forest. He turned to leave and finally locked eyes with Talia.
She smiled at him but he turned crimson red and walked away, not realizing when Talia’s smile fell.
Dora chuckled loudly and Talia turned to her with a frown.
"I can’t believe you’re sucking up to him Tasha. It’s obvious you’re not his type or his twin brother’s."
"It’s Talia and I’m not sucking up to him or anyone."
"Yeah right and butterflies have five toes."
"You’re the one to talk" Talia muttered, looking away to flick a speck of mud off her bright glittering skin.
"What’s that supposed to mean?"
"Oh. Nothing" Talia retorted with a forced smile.
