"I'm sorry, there's been a mistake. You have only booked five tents," the man behind the counter, who was in his fifties said, looking at the computer screen through his glasses with thin rims.
"That's bullshit," Spencer said, but Layla smacked his arm.
"What he meant to say is," she spoke instead of him, walking in front of him, "we booked six tents. For sure."
The man turned the screen towards them, and next to Spencer's name stood 5 tents in bold, red letters.
"Fantastic," Layla said under her breath, then raised her voice, "Spencer! You stupid fucki-"
Melanie covered Layla's mouth before she could make a scene and walked her outside. Spencer sighed, but followed them.
"So what now?" Zoie turned to Tamara.
"No," Tamara said coldly in her raspy voice, "I can't sleep with anyone. I already feel shitty enough and need my sleep, plus I would get the person sick, for sure."
"She's right," Cara nodded.
Kaden watched as something flased in Zoie's eyes, but soon dissapeared and her body tensed, as if she realized something.
"So what other options are there?" Cara asked.
"I mean, I can sleep with Melanie," Zoie popped in, her voice a bit unsure.
"No, no fucking way!" Tamara shouted, her voice breaking, "You're not sleeping with Melanie."
"But I-"
"No," Tamara warned.
Thick tension filled the room, as everybody watched Tamara who looked like she was about to explode and Zoie who seemed defeated.
"But she doesn't have any other options," Cara jumped in, "You have a tent, Melanie has a tent, Spencer and Layla, Landon and I, and... Kaden! She can sleep with Kaden!"
Realization hit him, and he looked at Zoie for confirmation, but she was still looking at Tamara, who looked irritated.
"Fine! Fuck," Tamara threw her hands up, her voice even raspier, "Give us our numbers."
The guy behind the counter who was watching them fight finally took out eight bracelets, most of them with different numbers on them. Landon and Cara went first, and he placed matching yellow bracelets on their wrists, securing them. In the meantime Layla, Spencer and Melanie returned.
"So what's the plan?" Melanie asked.
"Zoie's going with Kaden," Landon answered.
"I can-"
"No, it's fine," Tamara cut her off, "Go you two."
As he lifted his wrist, Kaden realized that Melanie could have just slept with him, leaving her tent for Zoie, but since nobody realized it, he just kept quiet.
"Why are only ours red?" Zoie asked the man, looking at her bracelet and then at the pile of yellow ones.
"Your tent is in a different area - not that far away from the yellow one."
"You have to be kidding me," Tamara and Zoie said at the same time, only Zoie said it under her breath and Tamara almost screamed.
The rest of the group got their bracelets and then went back to the cars to get the luggage. By following the signs they found the yellow zone and their tents.
"Wow, this is huge," Cara commented.
The tents really were pretty big, completely white, light flashing through the thin, soft material they were made of. The queen sized mattresses were placed directly on the soft floor, covered with white covers and nude pillows. There were two night stands with small, elegant bouquets on top of them, a big window and a sofa. Plus, every tent had a small bathroom outside of it, and all the tents were all placed in a line.
