Dividing their work for the night, they all spread out. Few were responsible for preparing food while the others were making the tents and making sure they were in good shape.
Henry was fixing the folding chairs. It was more complicated than it seemed. after several times of struggling to set it up, he uttered a groan, "How do you even do this thing!?!"
Blocking his sight, someone stood in front of him. Just the presence of that person ruined his mood, "Why are you here? I thought I told you to stay away from me."
Isla sighs and sat down next to him. picking up one of the chairs, "I went camping with my parents a few times. So I know how to put it together."
"I didnt ask for your help."
"Great, How about I leave you alone and then there will be no place to sit in by the time the food is prepared."
speaking most bitterly of her point of view, she shut him up.
"Whatever." Henry pushed his attention back to the task at hand, but Isla's presence was too distracting. He tried to ignore her but his eyes landed on hers each time he failed.
"That's not how you do it, give it to me." she snatches it from his hand and fixed it quiet effortlessly,
They sat in silence for a while, each with their own thoughts. when it came to an end, Isla spoke out with much regret in her voice.
"You know...I've been meaning to apologize to you...for what happened-" Henry puts the chair down quiet aggressively on the ground. In result, it made a loud noise and startled the other one.
"If you thing just apologizing would fix everything, you're wrong. I didnt ask for your help in the first place, nor did I wanted you to join us in this trip. So dont you dare go around and think that I'll forgive if you apologoze.
I dont need your fake apology, Just leave." with the way things turned out between them, Isla didnt want to stand there and go through anymore Insult. she helplessly walked back to the tent.
As soon as she left, Henry's emotions changed from anger to guilt in the space of a few seconds. "stupid ..." he muttered to himself.

After a lot of trial to make a fire, Issac and Miles finally succeeded.
It took a long time to do it with wood but it was finally worth it.
The cooking would just start but then there were obstacles on the way, "Someone has to cook while we grill the meat, anyone done with their task? we need some help here." Miles shouted to get someone's attention.
"I'll do it." Yiren shouted back. "Do you even know how to cook?" Felix asked her teasingly. He partly said it to look down on her but the question was also apparent on others faces. They were worried that someone inexperienced might ruin things for them.
"I'll just cook the noodles if you have so much objection." Felix followed behind, "Well, you need to do something, not everyone here can be jobless like you or else we'll starve to death."
"You-" just before they could start fighting again, Issac stepped in, "You both, stop it. Fine, I'll hand you the cooking task. and Felix, help her."
"What? why me~" An evil grin came up on Yiren's face. she shoved him to the side and walked away. Felix's face turned red in anger. he couldnt let her take the spotlight anymore.
So the only way he can win was by showing he is a better cooker than her, "Im coming~"
