Lily pulled the stitch tighter, trying her best to not break the wooden needle. Annalise sat beside her, making more needles by whittling them with a rock. Lizzy put two coconut shells in front of them. "Thanks, Lizzy," Lily took one and drank from it, her voice hoarse.
"Mhm."
"I wish something interesting would happen on this island," Annalise sighed, wiping wood pieces off her legs.
"Interesting things do happen, you just don't pay attention," Lily said.
"Where's Ashley?"
"Playing House with Garrett, Simon, and the littleuns."
"Aw heck yeah, I'mma go do that." Annalise said, standing, "You gonna be okay, Lil?"
"Yup, I'll be fine. Go have fun, I'll catch up when I'm done with this." the blonde smiled as the bluenette ran off.
The brunette sat.
"You can go, ya know."
"Nah, you probably want some company. And besides, there's too many people over there."
"Thanks."
"Mhm."
"Stop throwing sand!" Ashley scolded, quickly walking over to the little group of three. Garrett sighed.
"This feels like being a nanny."
"Th's what it is," Simon leaned his back against a tree, shifting to get comfortable, "Just without pay."
"Nannies get paid?"
"Yes? It's a full-time job."
"Did you have a nanny, Simon?"
"No. I nannied a few girls down my road from time to time though. Got paid seven pounds an hour."
"Goodness! That's almost minimum wage!"
Simon nodded. "What did you call nannying in America, Annalise?"
"Babysitting." Annalise didn't miss a beat.
Garrett cocked his head, wiping his glasses on his shorts, "Babysitting? That's an odd term."
"According to English people, we have a lot of weird terms."
"How do you know?"
"My mother's English."
"Really?" the tanner boy hummed, "That's cool."
"What's your last name, Annalise?" Garrett asked.
"Walker," Annalise took her glasses off, setting them beside her.
"That's pretty. What's yours, Simon?"
"Jade."
"That's a cool last name!" Ashley chimed.
"What's yours then, Ashley?"
"Carroll."
"I like that," Simon said, "how about yours, Garrett?"
"Smith," the fat boy sighed, "I've got a common one."
"I still like it," Annalise assured him.
"Do you know Lily or Lizzy's surnames?"
Ashley nodded, "Their first names too."
"First?" Simon looked up at Ashley, "I thought their first names were Lily and Lizzy."
The taller brunette shook her head, "Their both Elizabeths. Lily and Lizzy are nicknames."
"Elizabeth White and Elizabeth Plyler," the smaller girl said from the ground.
