"I thought that our activity was canyoneering?" Jez let out a scream. He had expressed an interest in participating in that activity previously, which is why he came along with us even though the sun was scorching. I completely understand why he's expressing dissatisfaction.
"We can't go due to an accident. Instead, there is a river nearby where we can go fishing." Yuan explained in a calm voice.
"For my part, I'm going to go ahead and do it. We'd already walked a long distance, so we might as well just do that. Am I right, ladies?" Sasha said as she was taking her top off, leaving her with only a sport bra.
She was, without a doubt, the most attractive of the group. This woman's body is eerily similar to that of a model. Perhaps her physique is as it is because she is a physically active person.
"Yes, I completely agree! I'm going to go for it. Fishing is also a fun experience." Vanna seconded the motion.
"Yes, we're also interested in participating. Kaoree and I are together!" Melissa said while raising her hand like an elementary school student who had just been called to take attendance.
Despite the fact that Yuan received positive feedback from some of us, one woman was opposed to Yuan's suggestion. Wearing long sleeves, leggings, and spikey shoes, she looked stylish. She had a pout on her lips while she was speaking with T. H.
"Alright, I'm also okay with it. It was my baby's suggestions -- I mean Yuan's suggestion." Jez said while looking Yuan with a gleam in his eyes. Surely if someone else had suggested that, he would have objected in the same way that Rosella did.
After about fifteen minutes, T. H was finally able to persuade Rosella to change her mind. And what is it that makes him think she brought this brat girl here in the first place? This lady truly believes that she is one of a kind and that she is extremely special. Brat.
We took a seat in a chair to relax. There are no stores in this area, we had to unload everything we had brought individuall. Before we came here, Jez purchased chicken lechon for us to eat as a meal. He said that he is willing to put his healthy diet at risk in order to eat this for lunch. He also purchased tomatoes and an egg. Yuan requested permission for the people present to get a banana leaf, which will be used as a plate for the meal.
For their meal, T. H. was bringing crab and squash, among other things. Melissa had a big smile on her face because she was eating one of her favorite foods. Her parents enjoyed cooking, and that particular dish was one of the dishes they prepared, so she was pleased.
"Oh my goodness! I believe my diet would be completely ruined!" Sasha giggled in the corner. Because of what she said, everyone burst out laughing.
"Anyway, what exactly is this for? Is it really true that we're using leaves as a plate? This is a disgusting concept that you have, in my opinion." She spoke candidly in front of Yuan, who was at the time preparing the food.
Jez was about to engage in fight with Rosella in order to defend Yuan when I intervened.
"I really should start pulling that girl's hair even before she starts talking so she knows when to stop."
When I was a kid, Jez told me that Apple and Rosella were childhood friends. He had a strong dislike for that girl, and as a result, they did not become friends when they were young.
"Calm down."
"This is something you will enjoy, girl. If not, you're free to leave, no one is stopping you." Sasha said with her brows raised. My lips parted. Rosella gave him a stern look, but Sasha didn't even flinch.
"Oh, come on! Stop pretending. I'm well aware that you're also a brat girl who doesn't appreciate situations like this. Especially when it comes to these things..." Rosella responded by pointing to the banana leaves on the table.
"Which of the two do you think will come out on top? Sasha is the one I'm rooting for!" Marcus, Vanna, Drianne, and Melissa, who were standing behind me, heard Latrelle say this. I got closer to him before lightly smacking his head.
"Latrelle, stop that nonsense."
"Killjoy. Just let me know who you think will win." He asked, clearly anticipating my response. I turned away and rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not like you. I'm not as phony as your best friend —- Wanwan. Oops, the truth slipped on my mouth."
"Let's just sit down and eat, shall we? I'll take the lead in the prayer." They were in the middle of an argument when Wyn interjected, effectively ending it.
While praying, I can't help but catch a glimpse of Latrelle, who is sneakily devouring the chicken. Jez attempted to stop him, but the jerk only giggled and responded that he was extremely hungry.
Later on, he came to a halt and closed his eyes in prayer. I also closed my eyes, but I was aware that someone was looking at me, so I opened my eyes. Wyn was looking at me intently while everyone else was praying.
After the prayer, everyone was eager to get their meals on the table as soon as possible. Perhaps as a result of our hunger, none of us felt embarrassed or shy about asking for more food. We continued walking towards the river after we had finished eating for an hour.
"You know what, guys, you can go swimming there. It isn't particularly sunny, you won't get sunburned." Yuan said while doing an excellent job as our tour guide. Jez was extremely attentive while listening to him. If only he had the ability to listen in on Yuan's breathing as well, he would.
I tripped because I was looking at Jez the entire time I was walking. My ankle was hurting so badly that I couldn't help but scream out loud.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, Melissa turned around to face me, her worried voice catching everyone's attention. "Kaoree, your ankle is sprained!" she exclaimed.
I was looking at T. H to see what he would do when someone stepped in front of me. He bowed his head so that he could be on the same level as me. The first aid kit and a bottle of cold water were in his hands. He gently ran the cold water over the soles of my feet.
"Thank you so much, Wyn." I made a quick statement.
I forced myself to stand up, but I lost my balance, causing Wyn to grab my waist and pull it closer to him. He scooped me up from behind and supported my back. Our gazes locked, but he quickly averted his gaze and allowed me to sit comfortably.
"You're unable to walk," he said in hushed tones.
"It's not that I can't do it; it's just that I lost my balance." Regardless of the fact that I'm unsure, I responded. I'm not sure if I'm shy or if I'm just not sure. My gaze was drawn to T. H., whose eyes were already on fire while looking at us. I couldn't think of anything to say or do, so I just walked away.
"I'll take care of you." Wyn said it with finality, as if I shouldn't raise my voice in opposition to it.
"No, I am capable of dealing with myself!" "I said, feeling embarrassed." Wyn wasn't buying what I was saying, so he had already moved in front of me and motioned for me to hold him.
"I'll take care of you. You can't walk, Kaoree."
I was a little shy as I rode on his back. I also noticed T. H. looking away as we continued walking. He didn't even bother to look at me until we got to the river.
"How are you feeling?" Wyn mused. He tied a piece of cloth around my sprained foot and put it on.
"If you don't want to get hurt, stay there, Kaoree," he advised before he and our friends left.
My understanding is that he said that because he wants me to stay here so that I won't get harmed by my feet, but it could have had another meaning as well. Perhaps it has a double meaning because I witnessed Roselle kissing T. H. when she was successful in catching a fish.
I plastered a forced smile on my face to hide the pain I was feeling.
"Me too, Kaoree! You're not going to kiss me? I was also successful in catching a fish!" Latrelle cracked a joke while displaying the fish he had caught.
"Latrelle, keep your mouth shut! Please, no more jokes." I was irritated and let out a snarl of frustration.
Instead of walking away from me, he broke out grinning.
