PART 13
"The blankets!"
Kripa instantly got up "What! How can you forget the blankets Shiv?" Her voice was loud and angry.
"Now we'll all freeze to death, all thanks to you!" Navi got up and walked away.
Before anyone else got a chance to yell at Shiv he stood up in defense. "Hey it was Angad's job just as much as mine. Why don't you say something to him?"
Kripa looked down at Angad who gave a sorry look. She folded her arms across her chest. "Whatever! So now what are we going to do now?"
"Hey relax Kripa." Aryan put a hand on Kripa's shoulder. This instantly caught Angad's eyes.
"Thanks Aryan," Kripa took Aryan's hand and held it.
Angad got up at this. He just felt like moving them both apart. "So Aryan, any ideas?" This was only a way to get him away from Kripa. "Here come let's discuss." He took put an arm around his shoulder and started to walk away.
"But..." before Kripa could say anything Angad dragged Aryan away. Shiv smirked; he had clearly noticed Angad getting jealous. "Kripa, I think…"
"You know, that's your problem you think too much. How about you leave that job to someone who actually has a brain."
"Yes of course! And the only person with a brain is you." Shiv said as sarcasm dripped out of every word he said.
Kripa gave him a dirty look and turned "Sahil! You know I was thinking that maybe we go get some wood. And then try to put on a fire."
"Ya I guess your right. Hmm…" Sahil thought for a second and then spoke again. "Shiv go and call Angad and Aryan, we'll leave right now."
When all the guys were ready to leave Kripa jogged over to them. "Im coming as well."
"Kripa are you nuts! What the hell are you going to do?" Shiv spoke as it sounded more like yelling to Kripa.
"What do you mean Shiv, by what im going to do there?" Kripa's tone was just as ruff as his but then she cooled down and walked towards Angad and changed her tone to a very sweet one. "I just want to help." She blinked her eyes.
As soon as Angad looked into her eyes he couldn't help but say yes. "Come on Shiv. She just wants to help man."
Shiv frowned and Sahil spoke. "No, Angad I think Shiv is right this time. I mean it might be too dangerous for Kripa."
"DANGEROUS!!" Kripa walked up to Sahil almost ready to attack him. "How can you even say that Sahil I mean…"
"Ok, ok! Fine you can come with us." He backed up defeated by his own sister.
"Now that's like my sweet brother." Kripa patted his head and then walked past Shiv and then stuck her tongue out at him.
It was almost six and they had to get back before it was dark otherwise it would get hard for them to find their way back. Kripa wore blue skirt which fell right above her knees with a white tank top. She was glad she wore what she did because it was getting extremely hot in the forest. "Hey guys lets just stop here."
"Why tired already Ms. Want to help." Shiv spoke mocking her voice from earlier.
"Shut up Shiv, any ways as I was speaking before SOMEONE interrupted me. We should stop here because this tree isn't that big it would be easier to cut down."
Aryan glanced closely at the not so big tree compared to the others. "She's got a point! What say Sahil should we cut it down?"
Sahil finished his last sip of water before putting it away. "I don't see why we shouldn't."
Shiv just rolled his eyes and decided to just step away since he himself was fairly tired "boy was it getting hot!" he thought. Shiv then glanced at his fairly warm sweat shirt that he wore. He took it off and wrapped it around his waist. After he felt a little more cooled Shiv decided to go help cut the tree.
Kripa just wander around playing with a stick she picked up. Shiv glanced over toward her and he nodded his head. "This girl is really is really extremely crazy" he thought. Just then he heard Angad, "Kripa!!! Don't go too far!"
"Hmm… Angad needs to spend more time with Kripa" Shiv thought again as he watched Kripa actually listen to Angad and walk closer towards them. "Maybe one day she'll listen to me too."
