'I'm going to Bamboo Island,' Kalaya informs me as soon as we're back in the room. She stalks around, picking up all her clothes, all her accessories and make up, shoves them as fast as she can into her bag.

'Really?' I say, sitting down in the chair by the desk. My head hurts and so does my hand - it's still throbbing. I down a whole bottle of water and watch her go to the bathroom for her toothbrush.

'Yes, I'm going to camping party with Justin.' The way she spits his name is nothing short of venomous; towards me, not him. 'Boat leaves at three.' She pulls the flier off the bedside cabinet, slams it up against my chest.

'With Justin?' I say, looking at the flier the hippy guy gave us on the beach. So that's what she was talking to him about. Did they plan this yesterday, while I was looking for Alan with Izzy? 'We're supposed to be getting the last boat back to Phuket,' I say. 'We have to look for Alan some more, then we have to get back for the school...'

'You should not have hit him, he was just joking!' she yells, ignoring me.

I put the flier down on the desk. 'Kalaya, he knows Izzy hates the water, he spent a whole day with us!'

She steps up close to the chair, stands almost between my legs, simmering. 'He saw Izzy swimming.'

'Yes, in the waterfall, not the ocean,' I say. 'It's different.'

'Same,' she says.

'Not to Izzy.'

'SAME,' she hisses, and I bite my cheeks. Why bother arguing? Would it really stop her standing here, looking at me like I'm the worst, most insensitive asshole on the planet? 'Why you don't have sex with me?' she demands now, putting her hands on her hips.

'What?'

'Let's have sex, now!' She goes to straddle me in the chair but I catch her waist, stand up with her legs still around me and put her down.

'No, not now,' I say, walking to the window. I know what's coming.

'You not have sex with me since she got here!' she shouts. 'Why not?'

'Kalaya, keep your voice down.'

'You said you're not a bad man, but you are!' She balls her fists as she walks up to where I'm standing, then raises her hand. I catch it quickly, right before it reaches my face. 'Ben, you're a bad person!'

'No I'm not.'

'Yes you are!' She brings the other hand up and maybe because I'm tired, or maybe because I'm not actually expecting her to do it, but I can't stop her this time. She scratches me right across the cheek hard with her nails. 'I go to Bamboo Island! You think about what you've done.'

She picks up her bag and goes to storm out of the room, but I sprint after her, catch her arm.

'Kalaya, wait.' I put a hand to my stinging face. She looks smug suddenly as I look at the warm wet blood streaking my fingers. Holy shit, she drew blood. She's like a tiger.
