“Good run” “You too,” she replied with a smile. She indulged in her water for a moment and climbed to her feet in time to see Zack bolt off in some other direction. She waved a hand dismissively about it, having no energy to call out or even ask what the rush was that looked life threatening but she was surprised to see only Jasper setting up camp. “Where are the others, babe?” she asked with furrowed brows walking the grounds for different angles until she spotted Nikki.
“Winner!” She announced throwing her arm up in the air half-heartedly. “Where are all your friends Nikki?” she teased.
Tessa was surprised in the truth applied in the question because they shouldn’t have been that far behind and they weren’t the kind to ditch people, especially in the forest. And why ditch Nikki of all people? Was she too sweet or something?
She looked to Jasper then Nikki and couldn’t help but be ruled momentarily by the thought of the two together. Not that they ever gave her reason to but she never quite liked the two as a combination for some reason. It sometimes made Tessa wonder who the third wheel was. But no matter the stupid insecurity she would never convert to the clingy type and she would not let things reach another awkward state.
