Zara tried repeating herself, "I...I saw Rebecca, she was slapped and people were hurting her."
Veronica gave her a bright smile, "Wow really. Dang, I missed it."
Zara rolled her eyes, "I am serious V."
Jake reached both of them and smiled at Zara, "There is nobody here, Z. Maybe it was a trick of the light or you are watching too many sci-fi movies."
Zara tried opening her mouth, apparently puzzled with herself, "But-"
Veronica slapped on her shoulder, "Gosh, I thought you two were making out in the woods."
Zara was so taken aback by her best friend's comment that she momentarily forgot what she was talking about. She stomped on Veronica's foot, her eyes bulging like balloons.
Jake's cheeks too looked flushed and he tried to speak evenly, "Umm..can we go have our picnic now?"
Zara pulled Veronica near her and hissed in her ear, " Why didn't you tell me you had invited Jake too?"
