"Lily, why are you always picking on me? I don't even know what I've done wrong to offend you. I'm really sorry and hope we can get along from now on." Kayla initially wanted to snap back, but seeing Jackson still nearby, she held back.
She quickly adopted a meek and pitiful demeanor, trying to play the damsel in distress in front of Jackson, hoping to earn a bit of sympathy from him and drive a wedge between Lily and Jackson.
"Oh, please, just call me by my name, Lily. I'm the only daughter in my family, so I don't have any sisters. Besides, you didn't offend me; I just can't stand you, plain and simple." Lily said bluntly.
After spending so much time in the military, she was used to speaking her mind directly and had no patience for Kayla's manipulative games.
