Chapter ten

At that point, I imagined how Brandon and Senah were enjoying their search. I couldn't blame Brandon for putting us together. He wanted to be with Senah. I then thought to myself that if I wanted to get to know him, I had to speak to him.

"Xavier, how old is Brandon? He seems to be my age mate." I asked him hoping to get an answer.

"If you want to know how old he is, ask him yourself. Don't ask me." He said in his usual tone.

I decided to ask no more questions. It was obvious he didn't want to talk to anyone. He wanted to be quiet. I didn't know why somewhere deep down in my heart, I was hurt that he didn't want to know me.

After about thirty minutes, we found everything excluding the stake. Xavier had suggested we return because on the way, we'd find a lot of them.

When we found it, he told me to pick it up since he had already picked the rest of the items himself. I had no objections and did so.

When we returned, we saw that Brandon and Senah had already returned. They were sitting on a rock and Senah was holding a basket while giggling while Brandon was dancing around her.

Xavier simply scoffed and looked away. He shouted Brandon's name to catch his attention and he and Senah joined us some moments later. We all put our baskets down and decided to find out which group won. When I saw Senah's basket, I was jealous. There were lilies, sunflowers, and roses mixed in the basket. It looked like a bouquet. I was impressed by how their rabbits looked so happy while ours looked like it needed a mental hospital. At the end of the day, Senah and Brandon won because their items looked like wedding gifts. Even though I wasn't happy about Xavier's behavior, I still smiled at my sister and congratulated her.
