Recap: He spun to start to reprimand the taller but was cut off by none other than Jerome.

"Hey Biggums, can we talk?"

You chose to Talk to Jerome later

"Yeah, just, can you wait a few minutes?" Mitch asked, sounding exasperated.

"Sure, can I help you out here?" Jerome said, slightly hurt but completely understanding the situation. Mitch turned to Lachlan as if saying Care to explain?.

"Preston said something that pissed me off and I started retaliating." Lachlan said, glaring at the Texan as he said his name.

"Was it any worse than what you recently called him? Or was that just the escalated product?" Jerome asked Preston, who wasn't completely sure how to respond.

"I- don't know?" Preston said. Lachlan shrugged his shoulders as well. 

"You mean to tell me you were at each other's throats all this time and you don't even remember why?" Vikk butted in, sounding slightly irritated. Both boys lit up pink.

"Well- umm.."

"When you put it that way..." 

Stutters flew out of the two embarrassed boys mouths. All the sudden they were cut off by Rob bursting out laughing. Rob just sat there laughing for a good 3 minutes before he could breath and say "Only these two could forget what pissed them off to begin with." Lachlan and Preston lit up a little brighter as the other three got it and began laughing. Preston pushed past Rob on his way to their tent while Lachlan lightly shoved Vikk before heading to their own. Eventually the four who were laughing calmed down enough to head to their respective tents. 

"So Jerome, now that that's taken care of. You wanted to talk Biggums?"

"Yeah G. Um, it's something that's been bothering me recently." Jerome said as he slightly tugged with his sleeve. Mitch slung his arm around his waist and pulled him closer, gaining a squeak out of Jerome. Mitch chuckled and held the flap open for his friend. 

Congratulations, you have made it through Section 1. Jerome is slightly flustered and is not quite as tense as he was earlier. He's still slightly sad that you chose the others over him, but he understands why. If you paid close attention, you might know what is bothering Jerome. Now proceed to 2
