Nicole raised her eyebrows. “What exactly are we supposedly doing?” she asked again, looking at Amy and ignoring Patricia. “I thought this was just a friendly camping trip.”
Patricia laughed, too loud, and way too long before answering while Amy just sat quietly in her seat, looking uncomfortable and biting her lower lip.
“It’s nothing to be afraid of,” Patricia said when she finally got a hold of herself. “Just a little moonlight hike. A contest, really. The guys like to bet on which girl will win, but they have to bet early just from profiles the other guys hand out, so if they choose the wrong one, they’re usually pretty pissed.” She looked Nicole up and down again. “I’d say Evan must have bet on you, considering how he has you dressed.”
So many things became clear in that moment. Nicole nearly laughed herself, but somehow managed to contain her amusement. No wonder Evan had been upset when he picked her up. He’d probably bet against her…and obviously, she wasn’t going to lose with Amy in heels. Served him right for playing stupid games, though she was still nervous. Patricia was holding something back, and from the smirk on her face, it was a substantial piece of information.
“So what’s the catch?” Nicole asked, watching one of the creepy guys – Davin, she thought – come up behind Amy and rest a hand on her shoulder. The poor girl jumped a foot, but the man just laughed.
“Come on, girls – let’s eat. You’ll need good energy for tonight.”
Amy got up, and Nicole noticed the careful distance she put between her date and herself. Interesting. Patricia stood as Nicole did, and as they walked behind Amy, Patricia leaned closer.
“Three go in, only one comes out,” she whispered.
