A Random Bet

All this while, Ariel was biting the inside of her lower lip so that she wouldn't open her mouth and start scolding both Damien and Kenneth.

She was awkwardly standing in between those two grown-ups who would turn into toddlers as soon they were in each other's vicinity. They would lose their sense of rationality and then they would fight over anything and everything instead of keeping their mouths shut.

Ariel turned her head towards the direction where Kenneth had come from earlier. And she thought to herself, "Where are the horses? I want to get out of here soon."

The other three, Zach, Niylah, and Ramon, were standing a little further away from Ariel and her open admirers.

Niylah could sense the awkwardness that Ariel was feeling for a while now. So she looked at her brothers and asked, "Shall I go and save Ariel? It doesn't sound like they are having some friendly chat there."
