As soon as Daisy finished speaking, Patricia and her friends burst out laughing, all smug and loud.
Fiona and Monica turned bright red, their anger obvious.
Seriously? How could they be so awful?
Lydia didn’t even look at them. She was focused on the marks on the ground, deep in thought. Jules was quietly studying the ground too, not saying a word.
Fiona frowned, confused. “What are you looking at?”
Jules glanced up and answered, “A ladder.”
Fiona stared. “A ladder? I don’t see a ladder.”
Monica glanced around. “Yeah, nothing here even looks like a ladder.”
“They used a ladder,” Lydia said, matter-of-fact.
Fiona and Monica both froze, realization hitting them.
“They cheated?”
Jules’s voice was low. “The rules say no cheating. Someone’s giving them help.”
Fiona looked furious. “That’s so unfair. No wonder they’re acting like they already won. They’ve got someone backing them up.”
Lydia turned to them, calm as ever. “Let’s just get past this barrier. We’ll deal with them later.”
“But… this wall is so high. How are we supposed to get over?”
Jules crouched down. “Climb on my shoulders.”
Lydia looked at Monica and Fiona, who were both hesitating. “Put your bags down and do it. This is all about teamwork.”
