I Get It

"Fuck, I miss my socials." "Feels strange to say this, but I sort of don't." "Oh, come on. The fans, the haters, the memes. The thirst-traps. It's all happening somewhere, but...without us." Fatin huffed before kicking some water in Eleanor's direction watching the girl smack some back with a smile. "You know what my daddy always says when he thinks I'm looking at my phone too much? He says 'you'll never spot a rainbow if you're looking down." Eleanor shook her head laughing as she peered over to where her sister was sitting with Martha and Leah, the urge to know where she was taking over and soon fading at the sight of her laughing at something one of the others had said.

"Uh, except that people are always posting rainbow pics on Instagram." Fatin laughed, putting out her hand towards Shelby. "Can I get my soap? Time for a quick whore bath." "Excuse me, what is a whore bath?" Eleanor snorted looking down at herself in the water, quickly fixing the bikini top she had on and pulling up a pair of Fatin's shorts that were a near perfect fit. "Just the pits, tits, and slits." Nora smiled before collapsing back in the water. "You take those when you're running out of soap and all of your siblings need to take a shower." Fatin nodded pointing in Eleanor's direction. "Fuck yes. Comes in handy, and damn Nora. You're lowkey very edgy, aren't you?"

"You just look the type to be hiding the dark stuff." Nora laughed pushing hair behind her ear before Shelby spoke again, "Wait, why do I feel like I'm being ganged up on--Oh, what the hell is touching me?" Fatin and Shelby both started screaming, Shelby running up to Nell and grabbing her arm turning around to look at what had been tickling her thigh. "Whoa there, chill its a bag." Nora picked it up without hesitating, her and Eleanor looking at each other laughing at the other two who only scoffed. "Fuego." "See blondie, it's just a bag." Shelby looked at Nell for a moment and then quickly let go of her arm laughing nervously. "Sorry, thought it was a bug or somethin'."

"Takis!" The girls brought the bag to shore throwing them onto the sand as everyone gathered around staring at the bright purple bag with hungry eyes. "I need these in my mouth right now." "Oh, Lord. It's like a miracle." "Those are so much better than Hot Cheetos." "They're mine." Toni and Dot both went to pick them up at the same time making the girls widen their eyes. "All right, I'm not trying to start shit, but I bought those at the airport. I put them in my carry-on." "No way, I bought them at a mini-mart in Richwood along with an orange fucking Gatorade like I always do." "She did, on our way to Fargo to catch our first plane." "Boom! Where's your witness." Diana laughed coming over to her sister's side crossing her arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, how about- how about we just take a step back and get a good clear read on the situation." "The situation is that they're mine, and anybody who tries to take them is a colonizer." Fatin, Nell and Diana all snorted at the same time covering their mouths to hide their smiles. Toni then smirked for a brief moment looking right at Nell who met her eyes before Shelby interrupted causing the smile to fall. "Okay, just listen up for a sec. We're all real sick of eating macadamia nuts, right? And here we have something that everybody wants with no surefire owner. So I say that we look at these Takis as a grand prize and we play for them."
