I am sitting in bed trying to decide what Clothes I should wear on our camping trip. Mack, Sarah, Darby, Bethany, and I are going to a island to go camping for 3 days. We all live in Hawaii and are best friends for life. We are 16.
I hear my phone ring. My ring tone is my favorite song , Good Girl, by Carrie Underwood. I answer the phone. It is Sarah.
" Hey Sarah what's up?"
"Nothing much just packing. I am going to get on a group call with all of us ok?"
"K." I wait a few moments until everyone answers.
" Is everyone here? Talyn?"
"Present"
"Ok, Mack"
"Here"
"Great, Bethany and Darby?"
"Here," they say in unison.
" Great, I am all packed is everyone else done?" Asked Sarah.
" Yes" everyone says.
" Uh no... I still have to pack clothes...," I say.
" Talyn! We have had a week!" Said Darby.
" I know." I say embarrassed. "Can everyone come over and help me?"
" Ok" they all say.
Five minutes later they come in my room while I am playing on Instagram. "Talyn focus!" Said Mack.
"Ok ,ok, sorry." I get distracted easily.
We finish in 10 minutes and pack everything into Sarah's car. She is a, well, how do I put this, a control freak. She will not let anyone of us drive when she is in there after I crashed us into a tree last month.We drove 36 miles to Mack's boat. Sarah left her yellow jeep in Mack's Garage. Mack lives the farthest away from us. Everyone lives in my neighborhood except her.
We grab our stuff and get on the boat. We sing to Taylor swift on the way there. The good thing about being in a boat and in the middle of nowhere is that you can sing loud as you want and no one will know. We are all bad singers except Darby. She is the only one in choir.
We tie our boat to a palm tree on the beach. There are no people on the island. There is the beach and the rest is all forest with a volcano in the middle. It is dormant though. We are going to try to climb to the top tomorrow.
MAfter we put up a tent and start a fire, we decided to go on a walk. We went in the woods. We walked for around a hour.
We saw birds, poisonous spiders(which we all thought was cool, except Sarah and Darby, who have arachnophobia), snakes, and lizards.
"Hey, do y'all hear that?" Asked Bethany. She is from Texas. She moved here 2 years ago and still has a slight southern accent.
" I think I hear it too," said Darby.
" What is it?" Sarah and I ask.
" It's a river," said Mack.
" I did not know there was a river here," I said. "Let's go check it out"
"ok" everyone else said. We started to walk towards the river.
" Did you know there was a river here Sarah?" I asked.
"No, didn't did you Mack?"
"No".
" There it is!" Said Bethany.
" Let's walk on the rocks and cool off in the river," I said.
" No are you crazy!" yelled Sarah. "There could be snakes, the water looks dirty, and we could slip and fall in the rocks!"
"Haha calm down Sarah I will go first" said Mack. Mack is the athletic one. Mack jumped to the first rock."They are about 2 feet apart and 3 feet wide," Sarah told me. She is the one that is good at math and loves theater arts. Darby loves reading and Bethany loves theater arts too and is a good drawer.
I could see Sarah getting nervous as Mack jumped to the second one. The third one was a bit farther away, but Mack did not care. She jumped to it easily. She jumped to the last rock. Which was in the middle of the river. It was a big rock so we could all be on it and have room to walk around.
I volunteered to go next. I almost slipped on the jump to the third rock but I held on. I jumped to the last one and then Bethany started to go.
Darby was right behind her. "Sarah come on," said Mack.
"FINE!" she said. She jumped across as fast as she could and almost slipped but Mack caught her.
Darby was looking at something. "What are you looking at Darby?" I said.
"look at this big hole!" Said Darby."Really! Come on guys lets look!" Said Sarah.
"Wow that is huge," I told Darby. Sarah leaned in real close.
"Be careful Sarah, you don't have the best balance," warned Bethany.
" I am fine Bethany. I know what I am doiiiiiiioiinnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg!!! Ahhhhahahahahhahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" "Sarah!!!" We all yelled at once as she fell down the pitch black hole.
"Sarah! SARAH!! SARAHHH!!!! ARE YOU OK?? WHERE ARE YOU???" I yelled. There was no response. We all looked at each other worried.
