Zoe walked over to their whimpering tribemate.
Koby also ran to their side and offered her some facial tissue.
"Have you ever heard of the story of the Providence Petrels?"
She asked Kristie as she stooped down. She was on her knees, bawling her heart out.
Back then, Zoe would have stayed silent. Or pity the bullied at a corner. But now, she had no plans on keeping mum.
"Are you serious? We're already behind, and you're telling a story?"
One of them mocked her.
"It's okay. We already lost anyway."
One of them responded, which made the tribe whine in discouragement.
"Ugh! I don't want to stay here!" Another reacted.
They were all whining when Zoe stood up and put her hands on her waist.
"Do you guys have another option? Or you would just let me do it my way?"
They were dumbstruck at the sudden confidence of Zoe.
She's not the one who would stand up for anyone, and at most at a group.
