TRUCE

"Are you freaking kidding me!" Stephanie's sudden outburst made them all look at her. Excitement was playing in her eyes as she started to pace around the cabin.

"Do you really not realize how much fun this is going to be? We are like the super squad," she spelled out each word.

Amari smiled lightly. Maybe she didn't hate Stephanie as much as she thought. She loved how the girl was taking the situation. Amari turned to spare Diane a quick glance and saw that even her mood had improved.

"That is right D. This is going to be so much fun. Maintaining balance together as a circle. We can do this," Amari said, turning to look at Nathan as she spoke. He smiled lightly when their eyes locked.

The two other boys in the room were indifferent. Nathan and Nick had joined Stephen on the long bench. So it was just the girls standing.

"I like it," Diane suddenly muttered, smiling.

"You like what?" Amari asked, knitting her eyebrows in confusion. Even Stephanie turned to Diane.
