The rest of the week goes by too quickly. We spend it doing group trust-building exercises, learning about Bohemian culture and history, sightseeing, and swimming. I sneak out of my room every night to stargaze with Ashton, we stay up till five every single day talking about anything, everything. And despite us being completely tired and drained the next day while doing physically strenuous activities, we come back every night.

Aoife and Ashton have yet to utter a word to one another. They completely ignore each other's existence.

"What do you think we're gonna do on our last day?" I ask Aya as I brush my hair.

She shrugs, "Sleep, hopefully. Maybe she'll take us to a party with hot boys!"

I snort as we make our way out of our room to the main meeting point, I slap my face to wake myself up a bit. Eric and Ashton make their way out of their room towards us.

"Hello, ladies," Eric smirks.

"Hi, babe!" Aya greets. My eyes dart between him and Ashton. They're friends, now. I shake my head, "Nope. Still weird."

"Good morning everyone," Ms. Shanice calls out. We turn our attention to her. "Since it's our last day in this beautiful paradise, Aoife wanted to take y'all on a little adventure."

"Hey, guys. Hope you had some rest because we're going hiking today!" Aoife quips.

"She's kidding, right?" Aya mumbles in horror.

"I'm going to take you guys to some ancient temples and exploring through this magical place," she beams. Are we also going to drink unicorn juice?

"Oh, hellllll no. I'm not going hiking! I just got my nails done!" Aya hisses silently, but everyone can hear.

Aoife presses her lips together. "Don't worry. It's not that steep, Aya. You'll be fine. And as a nice going away thing, I'll be taking you all to a Bohemian party tonight," she smiles. Ms. Shanice frowns suspiciously and Aoife turns to her, "Don't worry. No alcohol will be served to minors, and I will watch over them."

Ms. Shanice shrugs. As if she cares in the first place.

"Okay, so go ahead and get some breakfast and stretch or do whatever you need to do. We'll meet back here in an hour so we can get going, alright?" Aoife sends us off.

"I can't believe we're going HIKING!" Aya is furious, "And like sweat... Ew. Can I just sleep?"

Eric, Ashton and I face-palm at her. I drag her off to our room and we change into the most sporty-outfits we brought. I'm a little skeptical about walking around in trainers on the sand, but ugh. It has to be done. I slip on workout shorts and a workout bra, wrapping a sweater around my hips and grabbing my water bottle before going back to the meeting area.

"Oh my God, Aya! We have the same pants!" Kate shrills with a grin.

Aya smiles, "Aw, cute!" then turns to Ashton and I, "UGH! JUST BECAUSE WE SHARED THE SAME GUY DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO SHARE THE SAME CLOTHES! Clem, whose ass looks better in it?" she snaps, "Lie if you have to!"

"Kate's," I shrug.

Ashton bursts into laughter as Aya's jaw drops. I grin at her contorted expression.

"DOES EVERYONE HAVE WATER WITH THEM?" Aoife calls out. We all nod. "Great! Follow me!"

"I'm sweating so much, it's disgusting," Aya pants.

We all make our way inside a temple, it's fucking gorgeous. I say so out loud, and Miss Shanice shoots me a really, bitch? look. I shrug sheepishly.
