Hey guys! So, what are you thinking of the story so far? Do you like it? Well, since you're reading more of this then I guess you do. ^_^ Anyways, don't forget to comment and vote and yeah. Enjoy!

•••

I couldn't believe it. One of my old best friends. That's so cool. Who would've guessed?!

So after a while of catching up we decided to explore the island and just gather a whole bunch of stuff. Survival skills on point right now.

Haha, not.

I was wandering around in a place with a whole bunch of trees. The crunching of sticks and leaves was becoming a familiar sound. So familiar that it took me a second to realize that what I heard wasn't just me. I looked behind my shoulder.

I saw a guy with dark hair who looked to be my age. He was on the on the ground as if he had fallen.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked coming closer to help him up.

He nodded his head.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Z-Zylen." he stuttered.

"Awe, cute name." I said.

His cheeks flushed a bright red. His eyes averted from me to the ground. What did I say?

"Hm, well, me and Hunter, you'll meet him soon, we were just basically exploring the island and collecting a bunch of crap so yeah. Wanna walk with me?" I said.

"S-sure." Zylen stuttered.

We walked around for a while. We decided that sticks would be useful so we started collecting those. I was trying to think of survival methods and of all the survival shit I've heard. But, what would those people know anyways about survival? Bunch of crap.

"So, uh, I'm guessing you don't talk much?" I asked. He hasn't said a damn word after our little introduction.

He nodded his head in response.

"So, mind saying why?" I asked cheerfully trying to overpower the awkwardness.

"Trust issues." he said.

"We all have them don't we?" I laughed.

"I-I guess." he said.

I sighed. "There's not really much to do. We should probably get some food in the morning too. In fact, let's head back. I'm sure Hunter'll probably be there by now."

A few minutes pass.

"Look, I know I can be annoying and I kinda talk a lot especially in this awkward atmosphere so I'm really sorry if I'm annoying you and stuff. Actually, you know what, you can just tell me to shut up if your just really fucking pissed off at me or whatever and-"

"I-it's fine. Really. A-actually, I-I really...I u-um...I a-admire th-that about you." Zylen stuttered.

We were both blushing a bit now. A small smile formed on his face. As well as mine.

"Thanks." I said sorta quietly.

We finally made it back to where I started when I first arrived here and Hunter was already there.

With....Denton? What the fuck?

"Ah, the otaku." Denton said as we got closer.

"Yeah, so?" I said angrily.

Don't fucking judge me you damn prick. Life's hard enough right now.

"Nothing." he smirked.

I turned my attention to Hunter. "Well, Zylen and I managed to get a load of crap. What about you?" I reported.

"Not much. We managed some food. But only enough for a few days." Hunter said.

"Hey, at least it's something. Besides, its only our first day here." I said trying brighten the mood.

He cupped my cheek in his hand. I felt a slight blush form on my cheeks. He smiled at me. I smiled back and looked at the ground.

Um, weird? And extremely random too might I add.

"Looks like the guys went over there to start a fire. Wanna join'em?" he asked.

"Don't have much of a choice." I joked.

"I guess." he said back.

We walked over to the other guys trying to figure out how to start the fire. Hunter and Denton were bickering back and forth while Zylen was sitting a good two feet from them trying to start the fire. I walked over to Zylen.

"You know how to start a fire?" I asked curiously.

He shrugged his shoulders and blushed.

"So, you're kinda just guessing." I said.

He nodded in response.

"Well, let me help." I said getting down next to him and copying what he was doing. I gave up after a while.

"These goddamn pieces of shit aren't doing anything. Now my arms are like noodles." I complained.

Just as I said that he got the fire started.

"What the actual crap, dude." I said.

He started to laugh a little until they turned into a bunch of giggles.

"What's so funny?" I asked starting to laugh with him.

"You..you..." he started but his laughter took over.

We were laughing so hard that our stomachs started to hurt. My cheeks started to hurt as well. I guess Denton and Hunter finally came to their senses because they ended up coming once we stopped laughing.

"Looks like you got the fire started. What were you guys laughing about?" Denton asked sitting down next to me.

"Oh, nothing." I smiled looking at Zylen.

We all ended up falling asleep with me being last. As usual. Tonight was....fun, I guess.
