SEVENTH ISLAND

Alive but not well

Aidan awoke to find he was lying on hot sand with the cool ocean washing up against his feet. Slowly he opened his eyes and sat up straight. He turned his head to see some of the other year 7's arguing with one another. He walked up to them and asked them where the teachers and the other kids were. His friend Harry turned around and explained everything, "The teachers were at the front so they hit the ground first so they all died, so that means were here on our own with no adults," he answerd. "What about the rest of us, there it's many here?" Aidan asked. "Well, look around!" John looked around and saw many bodies lying across the ground. "Are they dead?" Aidan asked horrified. "We took a check at all of them, not a single person is dead." To Aidan's relief Harry was serious. Aidan's other friend Finn turned around. "Well, there is one of us that died," he said walking over to them. Aidan's belly sank to his knees. "Who?" He asked. "The one who must not be named," Finn laughed. Aidan suddenly felt happy. The one who must not be named was an idiot, it was as if she had a brain the size of an atom. "How did she die?" Aidan asked. "You missed the show," replied Finn, "you know how she thinks she's good at swimming?" He asked. "Yeah," "she thought she could swim away and find a near by island, guess what?" "What?" "She drowned!" Aidan burst out laughing, he understood it was cruel but if they were to survive on this island they would be better off without her. "So how are we meant to survive?" Asked Harry. "We've decided to split up into groups," Finn replied, "sorry guys but I'm going off on my own." Aidan's heart sank. Finn would be a great help to a team, he knew more about survival than most. "What about you Harry?" Asked Aidan. "I don't know, you wanna be in a team with me?" He asked. "Sure," Aidan whispered, "it'll be our duty to make sure the world turns properly," Aidan laughed. "I don't get it," said Harry blankly. "Let's get Kit and Nathaniel and get out of here!" Yelled Harry. "Oh, and Finn," Finn turned his head in interest p, "truce for now?" Aidan's two friends shook hands. Aidan and Harry found the bodies of Kit and Nat and dragged them into the forest, but before they did anything, Aidan snuck a shard of the broken plane into his pocket. THIS WILL COME IN HANDY! He thought.
