I finished getting ready, clipping my hair back away from my face.

“We almost match,” Taylor said, and then showed me her boots: black with gray fuzz at the top. “April won’t let me get her more fashionable clothes like this.”

Gabriel usually picked out my clothes and what to wear. I wanted to tell the girls this, to let them know how great he was, but I didn’t know how to say it. I missed him, despite our fight the night before. Now that it was morning, I still wanted to talk to him about breaking my tent, but I also wanted to say I was sorry for not listening when he was trying to keep me safe.

Taylor shuffled her boots against the concrete floor as she walked. “I just hope they won’t get full of sand.”

“I just assume all of our stuff will need to be replaced after this week,” April said and then sighed. “It’s why I said to bring old clothes along. I wish you’d let me shop for you at the Goodwill.”

“They never have anything fashionable or in my size, otherwise I would.”

When we left the latrine, as I’d feared, Kota was gone.

I pressed my lips together. I’d hoped he’d linger. I wrapped my arms around my stomach, squeezing my clothes and kit to my chest as I fell in behind the girls.

Just walk to wherever we are going, I told myself. I’ll be fine.

As we walked to their camp, I paused. “Oh,” I said, looking down at the things in my arms. “I should...take this back to our tent.” It was a good reason to go back to camp, and maybe I’d see one of the guys there.

“Our tent?” April asked and then paused in the road. “Didn’t you have your own tent?”

I grimaced. “Well, it sort of broke last night and I...”

“Oh, well then you can stay with us if you want,” she said. “We’ve got room.”

“No, it’s okay. Kota was going to get another one.”

“He doesn’t need to do that,” April said. “We’ve got more than enough room.”

Taylor smirked. “You know he likes you, right? I asked him and he told me he does.”

My cheeks had already been burning but now felt like they’d lit up in flames. I looked down at the road. “I...” What could I say to that?

What would they say of me if they ever learned about the others? That I’d kissed two of them last night before climbing into Kota’s sleeping bag? They wouldn’t be able to understand.

The fact that I couldn’t say anything about it made me question what we were doing. Were we wrong to try the plan?

“Don’t worry,” April said, waving her hand through the air. “And never mind the crush right now. We’ve got things to do. You’re new and most likely they’ll stick you in a tent with other new girls. But you can stay with us if you prefer.”

My mouth opened. “I don’t...need to.”

“No, it’s okay,” April said. She turned to walk toward their camp again.
