The long grass of the field kept moving and they sort of felt like they were being watched...About half an hour passed and the girls kept checking the field for movements. It seemed like a pair of dark eyes were on them. They even considered going inside, but that would mean homework time. So they continued splashing, but with caution now. Their eyes hardly left the field.
