The Goth Girl and her Shadow

chapter 2: The Elimination

As soon as everyone opened their treasure, they were shocked at what Heather got.

"Look at this, an invincibility pass," Heather felt victorious. "Looks like I'm safe tonight."

Gwen narrowed her eyes at the Queen Bee. "For now..."

"All right, everyone, get yer stuff that ye got and put it in your cabins," Chris announced with a laugh. "Arrggh."

Duncan was annoyed by that. "Are you gonna get out of that pirate get-up?"

"Duncan, don't ruin my moment!" Chris glared at him.

As Gwen got ready for the ceremony tonight, she saw red eyes looking at her. When she blinked, it was suddenly gone. She had to wonder if it was really there or if her mind was simply playing tricks on her. 

"That's funny, I thought I saw something..." Gwen said to herself quietly.

"Hey girl," LeShawna looked to the goth. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just thought I saw something." Gwen shrugged it off.

It was then time for the elimination ceremony and the Screaming Gophers went over the old process for the audience at home to catch up to speed with the plate of marshmallows. When their names were called, they would be safe, but Chris would draw out the final person between two just for the drama and suspense. It was then finally revealed who was leaving tonight.

"Trent my man, looks like you're out." Chris told the cool guy of the group.

"But I thought you all liked me," Trent was surprised, then looked to his crush of the whole seasonal team. "Gwen?"

"Trent, I liked you, but you kissed the wrong person!" Gwen sneered at him, full of hate and hurt.

"But, I was told that you never wanted to see me again and that you hated me!"

"Who told you that bull crap?"

"Heather."

Gwen sighed, she should have known, but she didn't want to hear from him anymore. "Trent, I liked you a lot, but I don't think it won't work anymore."

"What're you saying?" Trent looked a little crushed right now.

"I'm saying that you need to find someone else who loves you a lot..."

"I get what you're saying... But... Can we still be friends?"

Gwen quickly cheered up with a laugh. "Of course we can." she then hugged him.

"Trent, the Boat of Losers is waiting for you." Chris said, rather impatiently.

"Well, see you guys later..." Trent said before he left the island for good and could never come back. Ever.

Jamie was hiding in the forest and was watching the campers. More specifically, the loner goth girl he was now friends with.

"The guy leaving must be who Gwen was talking about," Jamie said to himself, he then saw Heather as she was leaving somewhere. "That must be the one who kissed him..." he looked angry. "Well, you little bitch, I'm gonna make your nightmares come true for what you did." he promised, darkly. He may not had known Heather, but that girl hurt Gwen and he was now attached to Gwen and determined to make her feel better, he would attempt to help her forget about her worries and her future problems. Gwen deserved so much better.
