Stranded

Chapter 7- Stranded

We were falling rapidly for 3 minutes, and then you heard a crash!

I could feel my nose was bleeding, and my leg was stuck under all of the luggage. When I tried to turn my neck to see Elijah, I couldn't. Something was barricading my peripheral vision and my ability to turn my neck. I struggled to push it away, and then I saw Elijah easily get up.

"Get me up nigga", I said

He picked me up, and that's when I hear Mr. Charles.

"M-My neck.. I think it snapped."

Oh no. Bad case of whiplash.

"Please don't die on us", I say

"I'm going to die, but I have some supplies for you in my backpack", he says, struggling to speak

"But I have something to tell you. I'm not-"

"*Cough* *Cough*, I'm sorry Christine, I'm- im dead", he says as he takes his final breath.

"NOOOOOO! I'm not Christine. I'm diamond", I cry. Tears run down my face.

"He's gone", Elijah says, trying his best to comfort me

"Ok", I sniffle, "let's go find some shelter"

"Well.. It looks like it's all sand...in every direction", he says, as we take Mr. Charles bag and leave his body.

"Let's just keep walking, and then sleep when we get tired or find shelter"

"On what? The sand?", says Elijah

"Duh. It doesn't sound comfortable but oh well.", i say, "it's better than being swallowed by a hurricane"

"Mmk"

Elijah's POV
We walk for about an hour until we finally see some palm trees. We open up Mr. Charles' bag, and luckily see three sleeping bags, three flashlights, and one lighter. I guess the third sleeping bag and flashlight was for Mr. Charles.

We decide to get some rest. Diamond lays her sleeping bag down, and as I'm about to grab mine, she stops me.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting my bag?", I say kind of nonchalantly

"Uh, no boi, it's 39° outside and I'm cold. We need to share."

Diamonds POV

He smirks and puts his bag away. He snuggles into the sleeping and he quickly falls asleep.

Me on the other hand, I just think. How did I end up in this situation? I'm going to be stuck here forever. I'm going to die of starvation or dehydration. The only good thing about this disaster is that my mother doesn't know where I am- if she did she'd kill me! After thinking some more, I finally fall asleep.

Elijah's POV

I wake up to a coconut falling in my head. The first thing that comes to my mind isn't ow but rather.. Food!

I struggle to open it, so I wake diamond up.

"What"she says

"Help me open this coconut, you from Barbados so I know that you'll know how"

She tiredly gets up, takes the coconut, and smashes it against the trunk of the palm tree. She gives me one of the shattered pieces, and falls back to sleep.

I drink the coconut water and it is the most nastiest thing I've ever eaten in my life. I spit it out and I hear a light chuckle come from Diamond.

"What's so funny"

"Nothing"she says

I pour all the water out and scoop out the white part, and it tastes a little better, but it's still nasty. I cough a little from the grossness, and Diamond gets up and busts out laughing.

"What's so funny", I say a little pissed

"I have Hot Cheetos"

"Ok, and?"

"You didn't have to eat that! I just did it for fun!"

"Really😑" "it wasn't even that funny, it wasn't funny at all, that was disgusting."

"Take a joke Elijah" Dkamond says as she hands me the chips.

Diamonds POV

Ok, I know that being stranded on an island all alone is no laughing matter, but I have to make the best of the rest of my life.

When I was thinking last night, I knew for sure that I would be stuck here forever, so it's no point in being sad about it. I only live once, so j have to live life to the fullest!

But, before k do all that fun stuff, I need to build a shelter

Hey y'all sorry j haven't been updating in a while I'm doing other books too and I'm really busy with sports and school and stuff.

Here's a riddle;

What do you call a fake noodle?
