Survival Island

Recruit

Jason's POV:

The hours drove me crazy as I waited for Naomi's arrival back home. Home, what a funny thing to call being stuck on an island with a bunch of high school strangers. I looked around and saw Kole with Mina down at the shore and I could tell she was still crying, I will talk to her later.. I thought before checking out everyone else. Matt kept serious in my case I guess and the side piece he was currently playing with kept trying to get him to kiss her, I think Naomi said the girls' name was Liz.

Tiffany and Pete both seemed very upset, and they both sat together in a daze. I realised that everyone was with someone they could share pain with, and I sat alone on a log with my thoughts. The rest of the kids made a little memorial for Derek and huddled around it. I stiffened when I felt someone sit next to me on my log and looked over. "I'm sorry for your loss, is there any way I can help take your mind off things?" Once she said that, I felt all of the anger rise in me and I tried not to show it.

"What's your name?" I asked, and she smiled before leaning closer to me so that her hand was on my chest and she whispered in my ear.

"Missy, but you can call me anything you feel like."

I nodded my head and looked back at the girl with a fake smile. "You can help me by keeping your legs closed and to stop being a slut." I pushed her away from me and angrily went down to the shore. I heard the girl huff and storm off before looking back out to the sea and remembering the first night that Noami and I sat on the shore. She cared for everyone, and it seemed that I was just a big jerk compared to her. I can't be these people's leader. She is supposed to be their leader, and I was supposed to protect her. Seems like I have been doing a very bad job.

A hand landed on my shoulder, and I looked over to see Ricky staring out to sea with me. "Thought you said that there was nothing between the two of you?" I clenched my fists and kept my cool.

"There isn't."

"I've seen how you look at her, you ignore all other girls but her. You worry about her, care for her, and you try to save her all of the time. So correct me if I'm wrong, but someone who has nothing for someone wouldn't care so much." I knew he was right and that I was a terrible hider of my emotions, but I had to play it off.

"I care for everyone on this island, and she does as well. Call it similar instinct if you will. I am worried because she should have been back by now, and I have a feeling something is up. Last time I had a feeling like that about her, I was right, and I'm not letting it pass as long as I did last time." With that, I attempted to walk away and create my master plan to save Naomi by myself, but I wasn't the only one. By the time I was in the hut, Ricky, Peter, Matt, Kole, and other guards and school guys were with me. "I can't ask you guys to come with me, we don't even know what we're up against and it may even be a suicide mission." they all shook there heads and spoke up.

"Ride or die, we're brothers at heart." Said Matt, and the other guys cheered at that in agreement.

"If Naomi is in trouble, I'm helping get her back!" said Kole, and I shook my head.

"Not this time little man, you stay and watch Mina." I said, and he fought past my hand.

"Tiffany can watch her. I fight for my friends, for my family!" He yelled, and everyone cheered him on. This kid's like thirteen, I can't send him to die, it's inhumane!

"Tiffany's going to have her hands full with Peter, you need to stay and look after Mina."

"I'm not staying. Naomi has helped me many times, and I'm not just going to let her die. Tiffany can watch Mina, and if Kole thinks he's man enough to come then let him. We are on an island, we can't really be picky about our troops." Began Peter, people nodded there heads in agreement with him and I frowned.
