    “I quit.” I heard the boy say. What does he mean he quits? Surely he isn’t quitting just because of the way the boss talked to us. I thought about stopping to see what else happened, but the other two girls didn’t seem to pay it much attention. Some people may see the three of us as the “queen bees” of this little town.

    Sansa watched the King mull over her words, no doubt unsure of what to make of her offer or of her resolve to see her unexpected plan to the end. She did not begrudge him his uncertainty, would not be surprised if he brushed her off like the inexperienced, sheltered girl that she obviously was.

That was hardly extraordinary, and certainly did not make her a strategist

    Sweats pouring off Jeremy’s body, as he huffs towards the party place. I should’ve waited it out, instead of hiking through these woods like a maniac, he thinks, trying to ignore the sick feeling gnarling in his stomach.
