Lost In The Jungle

.069

We were all now going our separate ways. Everyone said their goodbyes and gave their good lucks. No mean looks or mean comments thankfully.

Blue was ahead of us with Drey, Chan and Yuki. Then it was me driving and Ivy next to me. Before we could even leave Drey argued to have shot gun, but Yuki beat him to it. So they began to argue like little kids.

Blue was driving and wanted to ride with the boys for a 'talk', about what? I don't know. He wouldn't even tell me and Ivy. Chan didn't even know. I knew one of the boys would spill so I wasn't to worried.

"So you and Chan"

"Huh?"

"You and Chan" Ivy said again kicking her feet up on the dash and bringing her jacket closer to her.

We were behind them enough to were they couldn't even hear us if we yelled. We we're currently driving down the beach until we got to where Blue wanted to start looking.

"What about you and Travis?" I said back

She smiled at the comment I made not much expecting it. I figured this trip would be good for me and her to get closer together. Even if we were around the boys, we could stay back a few feet and talk some.

"I asked first"

I nodded my head "we're just good friends"

"Yeah right. Have you seen the way you guys look at one another? Now I totally get me and Travis flirt like crazy but, you and Chan? You guys like communicate with your eyes"

I laughed "communicate with our eyes? Did you get that from a movie?"

"Oh please. It's like you guys read one another so well, like a puzzle piece. Relationship are good when two opposite attract" Ivy continued

"You and Travis aren't opposite, if anything you guys could be twins" I replied back

"Hey! Not all relationships work out when you have nothing in common, but you guys are different. I can totally see a future. So? Do you like him?" She wiggled her eyebrows

I laughed at her being silly. I thought back to Travis. Just not to long ago I confessed I had something for him and he confessed to me. Did he even tell her?

Chan was nice guy. Of course I liked him, when I'm around him I only think of us two. It's like he helps me forget about other stuff. I think he reads that off of me and that's why he does it, to help. I can't help but feel a little guilty for liking someone after confessing for someone else.

I looked over at Ivy who was waiting for an answer "I mean, he's a nice guy"

"Oh. My. God. You do!" She squealed "so exciting. We can finally have a double date"

"Double date? As in, you and Travis are dating?" I asked

"Well not yet" she quiet down

"Have you said anything to him?"

"No" she shook her head "I kinda wanted him to make the first move. I don't know why, I don't get nervous around him at all. I can be myself all I want and not care to be embarrassed. I'm just scared he may not feel the same way"

I slowed down seeing Blue had done the same. Blue comping to a full stop, he got out signaling for me to stay in the vehicle.

The boys in front all looked behind and waved to us, Ivy quickly waving back. I brought up my camera and snagged a photo making the boys groan in annoyance. We've barley started and I've had a box full already.

Before I continue Ivy and I's conversation I turned to her and pointed my camera. She quickly did a pose and grabbed the phot and threw it in the box.

Blue moved the fence out the way and got back in the side by side and started to drive. Following behind him I began our conversation we're we left off.

"Don't worry about that. He clearly likes you, if he didn't you would know. I can talk to him if you'd like?"

"You would do that for me?"

"Of course I would. Your my friend"

"Oh gosh Dawn" Ivy said "Chan really is a lucky guy. Want me to talk to him for you?"

"No!" I said a little to quickly, making her burst into a fit of laughter "I-I mean, it's okay. You don't have too"

"I won't. It's our secret girly"

After a couple more minutes Blue stopped. He got out and walked over to us. Drey following behind him and getting in the back of ours.

"We're going to head into the jungle now. You okay?" Blue asked

He had a soft look on his face. It wasn't an annoyed one or and aggravated one, so I'm assuming whatever they talked about went good. Plus, I hoped he was on good terms with me.

"I'm okay. You okay?"

He smiled at my question "I'm good kid. Just stay close to me, if you see anything honk the horn" he tapped the tip of my hat and walked off with a smile

Chan got out and helped Blue get some stuff out the back before going in. Ivy and I looked at one another once we heard crunching sounds over and over again.

We bother turned around to see Drey snacking on some salt and vinegar chips. No care in the world on what's going on. Kicking his feet, looking around like a little kid.

Ivy giggled at his childish actions and grabbed the camera from my neck. I snapped my fingers together and held my hand out towards the back.

Once I felt chips in my hand I carefully brought my arm back up, not wanting to drop any. Not offering Ivy any, I quickly ate the chips and hit the gas to catch up to the boys.

There was a little path way in the beginning like someone had been here. I notice Chan holding up a map so Ivy got our out and was figuring out the area we were at.

Once the pathway ended, we made our own. Driving over tree branches and grass made the ride very bumpy. We all had out seat belts on not wanting an accident to happen like last time.

The trees were so tall the the little light we did have from the clouds, we're almost somewhat gone. We turned the lights on to see better in front.

Since it had been raining, it was foggy throughout the whole forest. You could hear all sorts of things. Luckily nothing sounded like it would be the Lurker. While Ivy had the map, I was driving, Drey decided to take any pictures that he thought would help.

I brought quiet a few packs of Polaroids so I wasn't worried about running out. It wasn't raining at the moment, but the rain drops from the trees were coming down. Luckily the side by sides had a roof to cover us. If it did happen to rain hard, then it would help much.

I zipped up my jacket because it had gotten colder. You could literally see our breath in front of us "here. I got some gloves out of the back" Drey said handed me and Ivy two pairs of black gloves

We thanked him and put them on. I also made sure he had some on too. Of course, he had two pairs on. It was nice out here, peaceful. We passed by a few deer, some bunnies.

There had been a creek and a pond. Even thought it was a little dark and foggy, it kinda looked like something out of a Disney movie. Where the princess is running away and the evil villain is after her.

"Look over there. Do you see that?" Ivy whispered, like she was after to yell in such a quiet place. Both Drey and me looked to where she was pointing.

"Holy shit"
