Lucas peeled his eyes off the little girl in front of him and asked the one beside him, “Is that Nica?” “Yes, she wants the ball. She wants the ball. Give it.” Abbey said. Just then, Nica crossed the distance between them and stood in front of Lucas and Abbey, arms crossed. “Abbey, the chaperone said not to talk to strangers. She said not to talk to strangers.” “No Nica. He took the ball.” Abbey said pointing at Lucas who immediately defended himself. “No, you threw the ball at me.” He looked at Nica and said, “I didn’t take her ball.” Lucas’s anger all warded off seeing the two little girls with pigtail hairstyles and overall Jean and turtleneck shirts. Their bickering not only rid off his anger it also melted his heart. “Hear it? You threw the ball at him, Abbey.” Nica continued.
