Eddie's camp- Aria's POV- Day 1

Right when we got to camp, there was an immediate grouping of sorts. People immediately bonded in alliances. I had mine- everyone else had their's. I personally bonded well with two of my fellow tribe members- Lily and Mia- along with Eddie, the founder of the team. Jessica seemed too germaphobic- she wouldn't even make the shelter with us- and Danny and Ava were hard-working people. They were good for the team, but it was personally hard to bond with them because they always were on the hunt- however, they got things done quickly. I hoped that they would bond soon, though. I'd love for Danny and Ava to be in my alliance.

Ian was hot, which caused my anxiety to flare up. I didn't want him trying to flirt his way into the alliance- but he was definitely hot. I also worried about Eddie. Although he was the captain, I feared he was going to flirt with me. There were definitely good looking guys on our team, and I didn't want any of that interfering with how I played the game. I had to play hard and rough, and not use love and romance as any strategy.

As I was saying, the groupings. We had the "do nothing" people, like Jessica, who didn't do much but cheered others on. Her and Mia were that type, though Mia would occasionally help. Lily, Eddie, and I played the strategic side and immediately named our tribe without the help of the others- it was to be called "Fierté et de Puissance" for "Pride and Power" in french. I had taken French in high school, so I knew what to call it. We wrote it on the green poster and put everyone's name on it. Then there was Danny, Ava, and the occasional Ian, who went to work on the structure. Even as it started pouring, they continued on with the occasional help of everyone else. As soon as we got a well-made structure(for now, anyway), we went off to make alliances.

Eddie called Lily and I into the woods without Mia- and it was surprising what he said.

"I want to take you two to the end."

His smile on his face shows he's not kidding, "Without Mia."

We stare. It was a little early to make plans for the end- but I liked his ideas so I smiled and tried to act all dumb.

"Sure thing."

He smiled back, flirtatiously. Lily nodded, "Sure, I guess."

He nods, not as flirtatiously, to Lily. She smiles a little- a bit crushingly, I may add.

"Keep this a secret, kay? Could I talk to Aria for a minute, Lily?"

Reluctantly, Lily headed out of the woods. Eddie smiled. From watching the show as a fan, I knew he was stupid. Really stupid. Like, "dog kennel in the bar" stupid.

"Um...?"

He kind of looked dumbfounded to be near me- a mutual feeling, seeing as he was a returning player that I had only previously seen in videos.

"I didn't want to tell Lily this, but I'm scared that maybe... Jessica or Lily or even Mia may win?"

Staring, I ruled out Jessica. Jessica was too crazy to get to far. Lily, maybe, and Mia, possibly.

"So?" 

"So, I want to take them all out eventually."

I nod, "Sure thing, babe. Jessica, first, then Mia. And, let's keep Lil. She's sweet. She can come to the end with us."

"Are you sure we should keep the final three choice?"

I nod, and he smiles lightly. I can tell he's flirting, but I don't want to admit it. The cameraman, standing a few feet away, beckons me to come to the rock to talk about my side of the story before Eddie. Eddie heads back to camp. I wave a little before settling down on the rock. We were told to make the show 'reality TV' worthy. I would. I was good at dramatizing things- I acted.
