Emmalee watched as the overdramatic Jaime threw a little tantrum. Don't get her wrong, she was definitely glad that she was going to get to be with Jack. But she could still gather some plants. She was now worried that because he was pouting, he would grab some bad plants and not be careful with what they looked like. She tried to speak up, to tell him that she would still harvest, but he stormed off before she could. She rolled her eyes. Their "great new leader" was a whiny little kid. No doubt he was just mad because both of the girls wanted to be with Jack.

And then there was Maddy. She was kind of a freak. The way that she attacked Jack, practically raping him, was kind of scary. To think that if she found out that Emmalee liked Jack was terrifying, because then Maddy would rage. And that wouldn't be pretty for Emma. She considered not going, to stay behind and talk to Jaime about future plants and plant gathering, but there was Jack, waving to her to join him. She blushed, hiding her face in her bangs. Was he picking her over Maddy? She hesitated before glancing at the crazy, love-struck girl before cautiously moving to catch up with Jack.

"What about Maddy and Jaime? We can't just leave them. I mean, won't Maddy get upset if I'm alone...with you...in the forest...where anything could happen?" Emmalee swallowed and facepalmed herself mentally, angry at herself for being so awkward and allowing dirty thoughts to get in her mind. Again. Jack did that to her a lot. "I mean, we could get attacked by a bear or something, and I'm not much help." She smiled at him shyly.
