Rotxo's Pov:

"Rotxo can I talk to you?" Kiri asked making me feel confused. "Uh yeah?"

I stood up, following Kiri as she stayed silent. What does she want to talk about? I wondered nervously.

"What happened?" Kiri asked me, making me feel completely confused. "Huh?"

"To your face" Kiri said, pointing at my eye. "Oh um... I just fell on some rocks" I lied.

"They were slippery and I slipped and fell"

Kiri let out a sigh, turning away from me.

"Tsireya told me" Kiri muttered. "About those boys that pick on you" she looked over at me and she looked sad. "Did they do that to you?" Kiri asked.

She reached out to touch my face and I flinched back. "No, it's fine Kiri" I said, forcing a smile. "I just... fell"

"Your lying, I know you are!" Kiri frowned. "At least tell somebody about it"

"There isn't anything to tell" I frowned. "nothing happened"

Kiri frowned, looking down at the sand. "If you keep lying about it you won't be able to move on past it" she muttered.

"Nothing happened I promise" I told Kiri and she sighed. "fine" she muttered.

"I want to go see what tsireya is doing" Kiri said beckoning me to follow her. "Uh...okay" I muttered. I wondered if tsireya was still mad.

Kiri grabbed my hand, beginning to walk to tsireya's den.

I felt my face heat up. She's holding my hand! I couldn't help but have a small smile on my face.

"Tsireya!" Kiri shouted once we had gotten to the den. Kiri dropped my hand walking into the den and I missed the touch.

Tsireya appear shortly after, a bunch of baskets in her hands.

"Oh hey Kiri" tsireya greeted kindly. "What you up to?" She asked, shifting the baskets over.

"Nothing much just me and rotxo visiting" Kiri smiled and tsireya gave her a confused look before looking over at me standing in the den entrance.

"What are you doing?" Kiri asked, pointing at the baskets.

"Oh!" Tsireya smiled. "there's a celebration tonight for one of our newer warriors" tsireya said happily. "We're throwing an after party and my mom let me help her plan it!" She said excitedly.

A party?

Maybe I should ask Kiri to go.

I thought but quickly decided against it. That would be weird.

Ask her I dare you 😡
