Jacob carried a few big branches over one shoulder, walking towards the already growing pile that was to serve as our bonfire.

He tossed them into the pile.

Sam and Billy were talking and kept looking over at me. I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue each time Billy called me stubborn.

Benjamin walked up with a flame on his pointer finger. He smirked at Jacob, and then lifted all fingers except for his thumb, each of them catching fire as well. He then swung his arm and lit the pile of wood, earning a grin from Jacob.

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Jacob said.

Keeping my arms crossed and my eyes trained on the fire.

Someone brought up war stories, and Garrett spoke up.

"The American Revolution." He spoke up, sitting on the log diagonal to us. "I was there. I came this close," He held up his thumb and pointer finger, both only a few centimeters apart, "to biting Custer. The Indians got him first." He said.

"Try being alive during the French Revolution." Someone esle replied, arms crossed. "That's a real revolution."

"If you want to talk about a rebellion," Liam spoke up from across from us, breaking the silence. "Talk about the Eleven Years War. No one does a rebellion like the Irish."

"You lost the Eleven Years War." Garrett pointed out.

"Aye," Liam responded with a grin. "But it was one hell of a rebellion."
