"Uh-huh...can I get dinner on my way back? Thanks!" Jessica chattered on, phone pressed to her ear. Although she had seen the others up ahead, an unexpected call had caused her to stop at the side of the path for a while. "No, I didn't have practice today, I'm just meeting some friends." For what felt like the twentieth time, she rolled her eyes and managed not to sigh aloud. "Okay. I will." A look of surprise crossed her face seconds before she blurted out, "Moooom! No, not those friends! You know I already--okaaaay. Uh-huh. Bye. Love you too."After she hung up, Jessica stuck out her tongue at the phone's screen, her face twisted into the silliest expression she could think of. "Geez! It's not even that late..."
The instant her focus shifted to the group around the fountain, her entire mood seemed to change for the better. "Hi Nami, Marc, Weiss, Anthem!" One hand waved overhead as she ran to join them. Then she spotted Padma, carried by Weiss this time, and she headed that way. We kinda started off on the wrong foot, I guess? I've gotta do better this time! "Hello again. Are you feeling better?" She dropped into a crouch of sorts to be closer to eye level with him when she spoke. While still cheery, her tone was also much more polite than the last time they spoke.
