Save Just One Life

Chapter 2

"Oh my god! This is so exciting!" Izzy squeals. She is hurrying into the airport in front of me pulling two massive suitcases. I have one small suitcase and my duffel bag and Paige has just one big bag and her school back pack.

"I know it is, but you're actually going in the wrong direction"

I turn from hurrying after Izzy to see Kelly standing leaning against one of the white pillars a few meters back. Izzy turns as well and ends up tripping over one of her suit cases. Kelly walks over to us, grinning and takes one of the suit cases that Izzy was struggling with.

"Come one, it's this way"

Paige, Izzy and I follow Kelly over to the rest of the group in one of the long lines and wait.

And wait.

And wait.

Eventually we all make it through customs; it turns out Izzy and Paige have seats together on the side of the plane and I am in the middle with Kelly, Amanda and some guy I don't know. I take my seat and plug my head phones into my phone before selecting a playlist of some of my favorite songs and leaning my head back on the seat.

"Hey, you!" Some one shakes me roughly by the shoulder to wake me up and I turn to the guy sitting next to me "Foods here" He grins and I notice how his teeth are all uneven. He has dark hair and freckles and if he hadn't just woken me up from my much needed sleep (I didn't sleep at all last night) I might have thought he was kinda cute.

"Yeah, whatever" I take my plate of food and dig into the meaty part of it. I push my salad aside, I don't need that disgusting greenness.

"Aren't you going to eat that?"

I turn to Kelly who is sitting on my other side.

"No, do you want it?" I ask and She nods.

"Thanks" She takes my plate and transfers the salad on it to her own plate "I'm vegetarian" She smiles her perfect smile and starts eating the salad.

For the rest of the plane ride I eat, sleep and talk a little bit with Kelly, Amanda and the guy next to me who's name is Jack.

I think.

"Storm!" I turn when I hear Izzy yelling my name and make my way through the crowds of people filling the airport, until I get to where they are waiting.

"Did you manage to sleep at all?" Paige asks as soon as I reach them.

"Yup, quite a bit actually" I smile even though I am really tired "You?"

"Not at all" Paige groans.

"How come?"

"Izzy." Paige says with a small smile though I can now see that she does look quite tired.

"I didn't sleep at all and I'm not tired!" I turn to Izzy who is bubbly as always.

"Yeah, well so long as you are awake no one within a ten meter radius has any chance of sleeping" I joke.

"Come on guys!" I hear Vickie's voice and see her gesturing to everyone to follow her out of the baggage collect area. We've given all our luggage to a group of men who are driving it all in one truck to the camp we'll be staying at so it gets there ahead of us.

"It's like going on a school trip" Izzy laughs.

The whole group makes its way to where Vickie is and we follow her over to three big trucks with open backs.

"Everybody in!" Vickie yells and we obey. I end up crammed between Izzy and Paige. The trucks have shade cloth/rain shield over the top but they don't really block the sun, wind or rain. It has started to rain already and it isn't very pleasant.
