Stranded (The Wilds)

five

Madison and the boys excluding Raf sat around Josh's suitcase, all having the same anxious thought that they were running out of food. "Starvation is a notoriously horrific way to die." Henry spoke causing Madison to once again roll her eyes at his sunshine words that continued "Right up there with radiation poisoning," Right as Madison was going to speak up to tell him to shut up for the millionth time, Kirin beat her to it.

"Jesus, could you not?" He said, "No one's fuckin' starving to death." Kirin reassured, which really didn't reassure anybody.

Madison looked at the food and then back at Kirin, "Really? Look at whats left." She pointed out waving towards the limited food supply.

The blonde boy took a look at the food, he spoke as he begin to crouch down, "This can't be all that's left, can it?" he asked looking through the food, "That seems impossible."

"Well apparently it isn't impossible." Madison said under breath while picking at her nails, Kirin threw her a glare but didn't bite back.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." Ivan begin, causing Madison to instantly put her head in her heads knowing a rant was going to follow, "I just, uh...it can't end like this for me. I mean, my mom doesn't even know where to look for my novella, so how am I Supposed to be published posthumously, hmm?." Madison lifted her head with frowned her eyebrows at "posthumously" while saying it under her breath with a confused look as Ivan continued, "It's on my Google Drive, Mother. Just click on the second folder marked 'Novella W-I-P.'"

Kirin cut him off yelling, "Shut up, Taylor!" he continued lowering his tone a bit, "We'll be fine. We just need to slow down on the food since obviously, rescue's not..." He trailed off looking at everybody concerned looks, deciding to change his wording he said "..since they're taking longer than we thought." Madison scoffed at that, it's been 12 days, she started losing hope on day 3.

Deciding to not focus on the negative she changed the subject.

She looked up at Kirin, tilting her head a little, "Can we just acknowledge that you said to 'slow down on food' while eating." She asked with a small smirk.

"You shut up to." Kirin told her pointing a finger at her making her chuckle a bit.

"We can play a game, like, as a distraction." Josh suggested, "I always play my Xbox when I want to stop snacking on refined sugars. My nutritionist encourages it." Madison gave him a smile.

"Not a bad call." Seth said, "
Any suggestions?" he asked.

instantly a bunch of suggestions were threw, with Scotty saying, "hell no."

"Okay, awesome." Josh spoke up interrupting everybody, "How about
two truths and a lie?" He suggested.

"Sounds cool." A new voice said, Madison looked up to see Raf coming up to them, "
I'll play." He said, causing Madison to smile seeing as the boy was obviously socially awkward and this is probably the most words he has spoken to the group.

Josh clapped with a smile on his face, "Yes Rafe all day." He said excited.

"Take a seat" Seth told him waving from him to sit down, before turning to point at Josh, "It Raf." He corrected. Madison had picked up on the fact that his name had been getting pronounced wrong on day two when she heard Seth talking to him.
