Chapter 4

Kiara

"The pond is just over this hill," I tell everyone, pointing ahead. The second we woke up this morning the boys and Cleo were begging to see the pond, so after we ate some breakfast, we started our walk over.

We make our final trek over the small hill and reach the pond.

"Holy shit," John B mutters, ruffling his hands through his hair.

"This is awesome!" JJ yells, "Woohoo!" He strips down to his underwear, sprinting towards the water.

Pope laughs, and soon all of us join JJ in the pond.

We splash around for a while, basking in the warm water. I decided to clean myself again even though I washed pretty well yesterday when Sarah and I were here, but being stranded on an island means horrible cleanliness.

"I can't believe this was here this whole time. You'd think we would've come across it sooner because it's decently close to our camp," Pope says when we're all chilling in the water.

Sarah jumps onto my back. "Luckily Kie and I decided to go exploring or we'd all be stuck dealing with waves and cold water to clean up."

I smile and joke, "You shitheads would be dead without us."

"Yeah, you found a pond, great job," JJ comments sarcastically, a smirk on his face.

"I'm the one that actually knows what's edible around here," Cleo adds. "Without me, you guys would've been poisoned by now."

We laugh, talking a bit more before deciding to head back to our camp.

Once we're back, I drag my cot to a shady area and lay down. I'm exhausted after our walk to and from the pond, which is surprising because I was completely fine after Sarah and I explored yesterday.

"Gonna take a nap!" I announce to everyone so hopefully, no one bothers me.

Before I even hear a response, I'm out like a light.

I feel a tickling on my arm.

I slap it away, thinking it's just a bug, but I feel it again a second later.

I slap it away again, hoping it's just a persistent bug, but I hear a tiny giggle followed by more tickling on my arm.

I squint open my eyes to find JJ hiding a laugh behind his hand and a leaf in the other that I now realize he has been using to tickle me awake.

"Dickhead," I mutter, closing my eyes again. No wonder I'm so tired.

"Come on," he says, laughter in his voice. I feel a nudge on my arm. "You've been sleeping for almost three hours."

I open my eyes again, raising my eyebrows. "Three hours?"

"Yep," he replies. I see humor and a little bit of concern in his eyes. "Figured you wouldn't want to spoil your sleep later tonight."

"Thanks," I mumble, sitting up on the cot and rubbing my eyes. "I never nap that long."

He holds out his hand and I take it so he can help pull me up. "Plus," he starts to say as I'm standing up. "We've been working on a little something that I think you'll like."

I look over at him, confusion written on my face, but I stay silent and follow him a couple of feet away toward where everyone else is.

All four of them are standing in a giant hole in the sand.
