"What are you staring at?" she asked him coldly.
Jeff stood still as if not believing what he had seen. "Were you crying?"
She shook her head. "I was playing with pepper powder and it kind of got in my eye making it sting and the only way to get it off, was to cleanse my eyes by crying." She stopped and internally smacked her head. Was she becoming dumb, what kind of excuse on the whole planet was that? Feeling stupid, she got up and took off, leaving a bewildered Jeff watching after her.
"Pepper powder?" he asked no one softly and then a smile was carved on his face.
