Alright, settle down! You've all been assigned tents. Pair up, find your spot, and set up before sundown. No excuses.

The list went up on a corkboard nailed to a tree. Names scribbled in black marker. Pairs. Partners. Yours was third from the top.

Xiao Mie

crosses his arms And you're a boy. Great.
