Island Trap

Chapter One

Jianne Ulrich

                         Semester break. These two words are what almost every students wants to hear. Half of the students will head to their vacation spots while half of them will stay at home, probably because they lack at money or just plain lonely.

Summer is almost over and winter is almost there but that didn't stop us from having a camping trip. We've been waiting for too long on this getaway mainly because two of our friends is in France and we barely see them. They are living their lives on their dream hometown while the four of us stayed stuck here in United Kingdom.

Having a camping trip is refreshing and adventurous. Since all of us is in love with the idea of staying in the woods and having a camp fire, we decided to save money up for this trip. It has been well planned and organized.

"Towels, hair ties, sunblock.." I checked, rummaging through my large duffle bag. I didn't bother if my sweat is trickling down my forehead like a waterfall. I'm too much distracted to even care.

As I finished checking up all my things, my small hands reached out for the powder that was placed in my room table and before I can forget I already stuffed it inside my bag.

A familiar ring echoes around my room, it came from my cellphone. Indicating I just received a text. I hurriedly pick up the phone, feeling a bit nervous, what if my dad changed his mind? 

Luckily, it was a text from Mello. One of my bestfriend's who lived two blocks away from my house. She's half korean, which resembles how she get her pale skin.

On our squad, she's always the one who's always been perfect in school attendances. She's never been late, never have given a red card for not completing the assigned tasks. She's smart and industrious. Unlike me.

Mello: changed of plans :/

I furrowed my eyebrows, feeling a bit irritated. What if our trip was cancelled?

Me: Whut now? -_-

As I waited anxiously for her reply, my fingers immedietly finds it way to my mouth making me bite my now ruined polished nails.

I swear if one of them objects, I might kill someone.

Mello: calm down, I meant that Princess and Stef can't come today.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed, typing away quickly, the thing I do when I'm furious.

Me: wat do u mean they caNT COME TODAY?!

Minutes later, I got a reply. My eyes quickly scanning over the screen.

Mello: Chill. They can't come today because their flight got delayed. Surely, they will come with us tommorow. We will meet them at the gas station near the ship station or whatever they call it.

As I read her sented text, I sighed in relief making my shoulders slumped down. I relaxed on my seat and type away calmly.

Me: whew i was bout 2 freak out im so close 2 trwng my cell 2 da wall :) :)

Mello: Your text seriously makes my head hurt. Anyways, do you have any camping tents to use? I forgot to buy.

Wow, it was unlike her to forget things since she's a control freak and so OCD on her things. She's one of those girls whose uptight and always want things to be organized. She's like the low definition of Tessa Young from the book After.

Me: ur ocd count is low u might want 2 catch up on dat

I can picture her scoffing, her cheeks getting red at the little action.

Mello: Hello, I'm Mello and fuck you by the way. :)

Me: aaAAh ur side dat i luv :) do u need  me 2 come wid u ryt now??

Mello: Yes, please.

Me: sure ill be der in a minute

I throw my phone in my bed carelessly and put on my red sweatshirt that say's fuck off. I take a look on myself on the mirror and applied a small amount of foundation on my face and a little bit of eyeliner. Gah, I couldn't live without my eyeliner. As I fixed myself, I started to get ready for Mello's abusive assults.
