"No I'm the leader!"
"Thatz na fair!"
"Everyone knows that an O'Teele couldn't be in charge of no army!" Christy had tried to take Alice's advice presented before heading to Lefty Branch, of letting the students work out their arguments on their own without jumping in, but Christy could tell by their body language this exchange could become much serious than only words.
"Why can't you both be the leader?" She says now standing right in front of them, angry raced through both of their eyes.
"No Miss Christy, an army only has one leader, me!"
"Miss Christy! He always gets to it!" She looks back and forth at the boys, instantally agreeing on the fact Creed did over-power all the activities, pushing and prodding his way to top dog.
"You know what boys I think it's time to head on home, its getting late. Perhaps bright in early next morning we can all play something, without leaders. Alright?" She could see the hurt in Otter Ball O'Teele's eyes, she just wasn't in the mood to deal with Creed throwing a fit if he wasn't picked.
"Yes ma'am."
