Sophie P.O.V.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Is what I wake up to at.....5:00 am. Wait... 5:00 AM?!

"WHO JUST WOKE ME UP?!" I shout. Tam shoots up from his sleep. Oops. Keefe is still sleeping. Fitz is...not here anymore. Wait, neither is Linh... okayyyyy. Biana and Marella are talking. Biana looks excited, and Marella looks like she just got up. Dex is in his tent, tinkering with some gadget, completely oblivious to the world around him. 

"Sorry!" Biana apologises, covering her mouth with her hand. Marella and I glare at her, while Tam starts blinking the sleep out of his eyes. Finally he's fully awake.

"WHERE'S LINH?" He asks angrily, getting up. 

"Fitz isn't here either." Marella adds on very helpfully with an evil grin. She receives glares from Biana and I. Tam literally has steam coming out from his nose by now, and Dex finally realises what's going on and backs further into his tent to get away from the drama. I hold back my laugh. 

"He better not do anything to my sister." Tam growls. He storms out of the room to find them. As soon as he's gone, I burst out laughing. The other 3 stare at me, but eventually join in. 

Once everyone is back in the room, we all decide to get dressed. Right before we leave, I see Linh and Fitz look at each other and nod. Linh stops us from leaving. 

"Okay. We have to tell you all something. Tam already knows because....well, we weren't interested in dyin-"

She's cut off by Biana's squeal, then practically chocked from her hug. 

"OMG! WE'RE GOING TO BE SISTERS! I ALWAYS WANTED A SISTER! OMGGGGGGG!" Biana gushes. That's when everyone seems to catch up. Marella does a squeal and a quick hug. I just hug Linh.

"Congrats! You 2 are cute!" I say. Surprisingly, I don't feel a tad bit jealous. Biana sees this. I better hide. A sly smile creeps on to her face. 

Uh-oh.

Biana's P.O.V.

I felt a grin sneak onto my face. I saw that Sophie didn't like Fitz first, and she wasn't jealous yesterday when I was with Keefe. Plus, she definitely doesn't like Dex...therefore..... EEEEEKKKK!
I didn't realise I had squealed out loud until everyone was really silent, and staring at me.

"Sorry! I just had a revelation." I squeak. Everyone looks at me with their "Go on..." expressions. I don't want to expose Sophie.....yet, so I go with the more important thing.

"We have to sign up to get our packets today!" I cheer. Marella gets excited. Keefe just srugs and starts getting all flirty. Tam just snorts. Dex visibly pales. Fitz puts his arm around Linh and smiles at her. She smiles back and kisses him quickly. I end up squealing with Marella. Sophie....

"Wait, where's Sophie?" Dex asks, his colour coming back to his face. 

"WHO WANTS MALLOWMELT?!" She calls from what I assume is the kitchen. I shrug and bolt into the kitchen, Keefe hot on my heels. He trips and we both start laughing. I offer my hand, but instead of getting up, he pulls me down and starts tickling me.

"K-ke-keefeee. HAHAHAHA! S-S-S-STOP IT! HAHAHAHAHA!" Fitz rushes in to find it and he turns pale.

"GET OFF MY SISTER YOU JERK!" He shouts at Keefe. I roll my eyes.

"Fitz chilllllll! We're having a tickle fight. See?" I tickle Keefe for emphasis. Fitz just scowls and walks to the kitchen. As soon as he's gone. Keefe and I start laughing again. He suddenly jumps to his feet, bows, and offers me his hand.
