The Challenge

The jungle

I woke up to Kenny throwing a pillow at my face promptly at 9:30 AM; but he then fixed it by offering to make me breakfast as an apology for the harsh wake up call.

When I decided what I was wearing was fine I met Kenny in the kitchen and he handed me burnt eggs and toast. I thanked him for the effort. "Thanks my little chef" I patted his right cheek as I walked towards the table. He walked behind me with his own plate.

The people that currently occupied seats would be Wes, Ct, Mandi and now Kenny and I. I noticed Ct and Mandi sad close together and my spare fist clenched at the sight. "Think it'll be something aggressive?" Kenny asked as he set down his plate and took a seat.

"Even if it is some sort of puzzle, I mean come on".

"Yeah what are you gonna do at this point?"

"Yeah what are we gonna do at this point I mean I can solve a puzzle man" Wes said slightly louder as Kenny walked away. "His stupidity is gonna be the anchor on my team" Mandi giggled at that. I just rolled my eyes, anything to impress.

"Kenny's unintelligent". Mandi said quietly. Of course Wes laughed at that, he's been crushing on her for forever but too much of a fucking pussy to make a move.

"Mandi shut up". She looked at me gobsmacked. "Kenny is one of the smartest people I've met he might say some questionable things but that's doesn't make him unintelligent" "does it?" "I mean hell have you seen yourself you talk all sorts of nonsense".

"You bitch" she gasped.

"Yeah and what are you going to do?" "Hide behind Wes and Ct?" She stood up as if she was going to smack me before someone came up behind me and pulled me away.

"Kate don't start stuff over me" Kenny said as he hugged. "But I do appreciate you sticking up for me". I hugged him back.

"Of course you're like my favorite person".

"Don't worry you're mine too". I gently smiled before hugging him back.

That afternoon I was met with Mandi avoiding me completely and I was glad for it I didn't really wanna see or talk to her and now I can see why Jenn hated her so much.

I sat with Kenny as he packed his stuff "I really hope you don't go home".

"Yeah I hope that too".

"Plus Tyrie is a straight douche I don't want him here" "god I wish you weren't on the same team as Wes or I would send his ass in god".

"Trust I would too".

"I'm glad I got paired with someone good, Laurel and I never really had anything it's was just cause we were going back and fourth in the challenges it started a rivalry". Kenny picked up his extra jersey and was about to fold it when I asked "want me to wear it?"

"You wanna wear it?"

"Yeah it's extra support for you".

"Alright then" he threw his jersey towards me and it hit me right in the face.

"Rude" I mumbled, as I took off my shirt and replaced what was once my orange tank top for Kenny's yellow jersey.

I was comfortable with Kenny he was like my older brother even if he was only older by like 3 months, if that. He likes to poke fun because I'm younger than him but I don't know to be honest laurels like a year and a year younger than me same with other people.

Soon enough we all had to get prepared mentally and physically for what's about to happen and I just really hoped Kenny and Wes could pull this out. We got on the busses and I sat with Laurel like every else who sat with their partners.

All the girls parted from the boys as we went to our separate bridges.

"Alright everybody, welcome to the elimination round this is the jungle" "and to you girls enjoy the seat". "Tonight I need to see Kenny and Wes, and Tyrie and Davis".

"Let's go Kenny" I cheered.

"Tonight we're playing blast off". "To begin each player is gonna be connected to their partner facing their opponents". "When I say go you're gonna try and ram your opponents out of the circle at any means necessary". "First Team to get their opponent out of the circle three times gets to go back and continue to compete for the money and the loosing team gets a straight plane ride home". "You gotta explain to mom and dad why your home early".

"Alright good luck boys". The boys got into position and to be honest and I didn't know who would win I'm betting on Kenny and Wes only because their both strong and Davis isn't but I don't know.

Each of the guys were huddling and explaining their game plan and I'm just exited to see how this goes down.

"Alright boys come in" they got into position and then Tj blowed his air horn "GO" you could just hear the collision.

"Go Kenny you got this". Kenny and Wes managed to push the team out of the circle but they also fell, luckily they got the point.

The second round was much quicker and Kenny and Wes scored again.

The third round was even quicker allowing Kenny and Wes to score again. To say I was happy Kenny was coming back is not a stretch im also so happy that Tyrie is leaving that man is so gross and just makes me want to throw up just thinking about him.

Everyone was cheering as you could tell almost everyone much liked Kenny and Wes rather than Tyrie I have nothing against Davis I actually rather like him but still I don't really care towards him.

I just know this boosted Wes's ego way too much he's going to go around thinking he's the best team yet.

"Okay guys that was a good jungle Kenny, Wes you guys won go ahead and rejoin the group". "Davis, Tyrie this is your time is Costa Rica you guys lost tonight but good effort".

"You can see anything happens right here in the jungle I'll see you guys next challenge take care". Tj dismissed us and I walked up to Kenny and hugged him.

"Good job out there you did great".

"Thanks Kay".

After we got home I split with Kenny and went in sat down, Ct joined after a little bit. "Mind if i join?"

"Nope go for it". "What'd you think about tonight?"

"Little disappointed but whatever".

"It's cause of the pose right?" I joked.

"Bullseye". "In this challenge you have to perform if you want to win".
"You can't just be best friends with everybody".

"I'm aware?" I said with a questioning look.

"There's me and everyone's revolving around it and everyone's thinking 'what the hell are we gonna do about this guy?'" "What people need to understand is they need to stop worrying about me and start worrying about themselves".

"Now you're just being cocky" I laughed at him.

"I'm being completely serious they are all after me but they end up fucking up because they are so focused on how I'm doing".

"Yeah I definitely agree with that". "Like how bad Wes and Kenny fucked up the last challenge".

We talked for about 5 more minutes before I went to go and get some rest.
