Let’s See Who Will Have The Last Laugh [Part 1]

The two teenagers had been picking what herbs they could find for the past few hours. Although it was hard, they still managed to get a decent amount of them.

“It’s really hard to see the found herbs in this rain,” Nicole said as she and Ethan wandered deeper into the forest together. “It’s much easier to pick up mushrooms. At least we know which place to look for them.”

“Edible ones?” Ethan asked. “I don’t really know the difference between ones you can eat and ones that could kill you if you eat them.”

Nicole giggled. “Well, you really have to be careful because some can really leave you a nasty aftertaste. Fortunately, the mushroom I had last night tasted very good.”

“You ate mushrooms last night?”

“Yes. A very good one.”

Nicole said these words in a teasing tone, which for some reason, made Ethan’s cheeks feel like they were burning despite the cold heavy rain around them.

He had drunk too much last night, so his memories were hazy.
