Down the trouble off we go

BB, DAVY AND THE ISLE

"CHARLOTTE" Peter screamed from the other side of the Island as he realized his misfortune of being all alone without his faithful conpanions (lemons and biscuits) because Charlotte had taken all his lemons and biscuits from him while they were entering the spotlight room and kept them in her small spacious bag (which was always kept in her pocket since she was obsessed with having everything useful with her in case of emergency).
Starving and shivering in that dark night in the dark forest in the middle of what he assumed an isle since he could hear the peaceful splashing of waves against giant rocks in the distance, he sat on a rotten log in a small cleared area.

Belladonna was outside the tent when Charlotte said " David listen! This is my oldest school friend... we ... we grew up together. We are like sisters but our journey only lasted for three to 4 years and then BB had to leav-"
" you call 4 years a lifetime" David came quite irritated from this explanation thus glaring at Belladonna who just came back inside the tent.
Ignoring his eye she stood behind Charlotte who said
"Friendship isn't dependent on its duration it depends on its depth."
David did regret saying what he said at that but his growing feelings of jealousy  hid that regret deep in his heart and made him rub his thumb against his index finger again as he decided to leave the place and the awkward atmosphere to go sit near the trees.

It was now when he actually surveyed his surroundings and made sure he amuses himself by them while vigorously unconsciously rubbing his thumb against his finger. He saw they had their tent right on the shore of the isle. The deep blue sea was calm and dangerous both at the same time. In between the place where the reach of the waves ended and the trail of the forest started there was very fine sand evenly distributed throughout the region with a cliff present on his far left. Letting his thoughts run free and giving them direction to focus he stopped rubbing his thumb and his brain travelling on a train of random thoughts made him recall an upside down bed on one side of the tent alongwith rugs to cover the sandy floor. There were long lamps placed inside to light the entire tent and the pier glass was placed beside a dressing table whose contents he didn't notice. Adding further details to the image formed in his head he remembered how a bed was placed exactly in the middle and 2 chairs on the left side with a wooden table. Everything was made of wood along with a small heighted table placed beside the upside down single bed on which a tiny black radio was placed.

Somehow without paying much attention to how he made such a clear image of a tent he had just seen and that too not even closely all this imagery gave him peace... a feeling he could not pretty much himself explain!

That unexplainable satisfaction brought a smile on his face and he felt the soft, fine sand of the isle touching his feet and the freshening, moist, cool, saline wind rush over his face and play with his hairs. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes as he did so he saw the colours of the place showing off their extravaganza after meeting the colors of the sunset made a spectacular view!

He felt at peace with everything going on.

Soon he joined the girls in the tent who were giggling (Charlotte was not though) and talking about something apparently girly while sitting on the upside down single bed which didn't take much space. David came and sat besides Charlotte as he did silence fell again and awkwardness knocked the door. Charlotte looked straight ahead as if saying 'awkwardness go away' while Belladonna amused herself with the leg of that upside down bed when David asked in an attempt to cover up for his previous behaviour
" why are you playing with this upside down bed?"
"It's called a charpai" came Charlotte when Belladonna did not reply back and then after observing some silence added " an upside down charpai."

Silence fell again as all of them looked straight ahead towards the wooden chairs.
David finally asked" who made all this?"
"I did" came Belladonna in a plain tone. Something about it conveyed the message to David that Belladonna was strong and determined but something also said that she was a little unexpressive regarding her true-self and how confident she actually was unlike Charlotte who will recklessly jump into any argument if that person according to her is wrong.

After all this thinking David came again trying to break the ice
" I think you didn't put a good first impression on me."
"Well first impression is the last impression so don't expect me to change it."
Charlotte breaking the tension said in her awkward half laughing voice "okayyy! Guys just shoot whatever it is you want to say."

David started with his misconceptions
"Fine then um.. it's simple i only have 2 friends of which one is missing and it isn't a nice feeling seeing your only other friend becoming friends with someone else."
"I was her friend before you."
" FRIENDS DON'T LEAVE-"
" would you please stop using me as an excuse to fight." Charlotte said after  hearing the heated exchange of words while sitting stiff and straight in between them.
That ended the conversation.
