I sigh and shrug it off, waltzing around the grass, trying to find so But when I walk around the bush, I find so

Jill Baas is crouched down near a creek outside the pree fluffy red dress that looks handmade

What the hell is she doing there?

I quicklyover my shoulder to ensure no one sees o behind the fenced-off area But I’m not the only one who never listens to the rules

As I approach her, I sneak a peek over her shoulder She’s holding so in her hands, but I can’t make out what it is

“What have you got there?”

“Ah!” She shrieks so loudly that she falls down on her butt “Oh my God, don’t scare me like that!”

I snort “Chicken”

She smashes her fist on my foot, and I jump up and down in pain “Fuck! Why’d you have to do that?!”

“That’s what you get for scaring me,” she retorts “Look at what you did!” She points at so around in the creek

“What is it?” I ask, getting up close

“A bunny It got stuck, and I almost had it pulled out until you scared it away,” she hisses at me

“A bunny?” I say, throwing her a look “That’s why you’re behind the fence? Because of some bunny?”

“It’s not just a bunny” She gets up and puts her hand against her side “And it deserves help”

I shrug “Bunnies can swim”

“Not when their pawsto help me, back off and leave me alone”

Her sudden spunk shuts me up momentarily as she returns her attention back to the bunny She reaches for it with her bare hands, but it’s out of reach The bunny is stuck on a branch a little farther up ahead, squealing for help

I take another glance overbefore I push Jill aside and lean in withthe bunny

“Hey!” Jill yells, trying to push me away too

Right then, the bunny falls into the water, and I hold the stick in front of the water flow until it stops the bunny

“Don’t hurt it!” Jill tugs at my pants, but I shove her away “Asshole”

In a quick e of the creek and lift the bunny fro, and I hold it close to inspect its paw There’s a wire around its paw that kept it fro properly, so I rip it off and check the wound No blood

“There It’s fine,” I say

When I turn to Jill, her eyes are sparkling, and there’s a glossy glow on her face “Thank you”
