Bette woke when Tina slammed the door shut in anger. “Hey we’re sleeping here” Tina didn’t respond she changed for bed in silence “Are you ok?” Bette asked sitting up. “I’m fine, it’s nothing” Nothing else was said they just went to sleep.

They were told to dress in outdoor clothing with enclosed shoes as they would be walking around the woods and in tight places. None of them knew what they would be doing but left to head for the woods. Bette walked with Alice like usual chatting away until they came across a notice board that told them what their next tasks as a team would be. It read ‘Find the clues to reach the end. Hopefully you have a strong team mate’

“What does that mean?” Dana frowned. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see” Alice replied, walking into the woods.

The ground was completely shaded from the sun making the forest cold and dark but peaceful. “I like it in here, it’s nice” Bette smiled looking up at the extra long trees. “Yeah it’s picturesque” Bette blinked at Tina; those were not the words she thought would come out of her mouth. They came across their first clue. ‘Find the tree marked X and walk north of it until you reach a hill’ Alice sighed at the mentioning of a hill. Tina found the tree that was marked X and the group followed.

“Hey Tina, wait up” She waited for Bette to catch up as the others walked on. “What happened last night?” Bette asked worried with Tina’s mood since the night before. “Josh was just being a dick as usual”
“Why are you with him then?”
“He loves me, nothings perfect all the time” Tina kept her head down.
“He’s an asshole 90% of the time Tina, why would you want to be with someone like that”
“Stop talking to me like you know my life…anyway you don’t know him like I do” Tina stormed off.
Alice and Dana were waiting at the top of the hill they looked to be in a heated argument.

“Heyyy” Tina stopped them from fighting.
“What’s going on here” Bette caught up to them.
“Alice just made a pass at me” Dana pointed at the stunned blonde.
“I did not!”
“You didn’t need to touch me, I could have opened it myself and you were totally looking at me all funny” Tina took the envelope from Dana’s hands.
“Tina I didn’t mean to offend you” Bette whispered.
“Everyone just drop it, the sooner we finish this stupid task, the sooner we can get away from each other” Tina threw the piece of paper that explained their task on the floor.
