Gone - Justin, Ezekiel, Owen, Harold

I wake up to a pillow hitting my face. "Go away." I groan, turning over onto my side. The pillow hits my face again and I sit up. "What?" I snap, turning to face my next victim.

"Wake up sleeping beast." Heather says from her bed. I glare at her, then at Bridgette, who hit me in the face. "That's right, I'm a beast, so don't mess with me." I sneer, getting off the bed.

"You don't scare me." Courtney says, pulling a green shirt over her head. I smirk and turn my back to her, pulling off my shirt. "Is that...a tattoo?!" Gwen asks. I pull a new shirt on and turn back around.

"I'm a juvie child, remember?" I say smugly. I finish getting changed and walk out of the cabin. "Yo, Duncan, man, where you been?" Geoff says, waking out of the other team's cabin.

"Around." Duncan says, smirking at me. I roll my eyes and turn away from him. "Hey, Adria." I turn around and see Cody standing in front of me. "Um..hi, Cody." I say, confused.

Doesn't this kid normally hit on Gwen? "I know we're not on the same team..but since today's a free day...do you want to hang out?" Cody asks, rubbing the back of his neck. "Uh, sure." I say, shrugging.

"Oh ok, I understand." he says, turning away. I stand there confused before he whips back around. "Wait, did you say yes?" he asks. I shrug again.

He coughs and fixes his hair. "I mean, of course you said yes." he says. I chuckle and shake my head. "So, what did you have in mind?" I ask. Cody sighs. "To be honest, I didn't think I'd get this far." he admits.

"Dude, you have got to be more confident. If you're nervous and crap people will walk all over you." I tell him. "It's not so easy after being with the same people for years." Cody groans.

"Take it from me, you can change a lot in a year or so." I tell him. "Help me then." Cody says. I look at him, confused. "You want my help to be more confident?" I ask. Cody nods. "Alright." I agree.

I lead Cody to an opening in the woods and sit down. "Okay, now the first thing about confidence is to know what you want." I tell him. "What do I want?" he asks. I sigh. "You want people to respect you and to treat you like a teammate." I say.

"Ok, got it." Cody says. "And how are you going to get that respect?" I ask him. "By being respectful." He guesses. I groan. "No. You demand respect." I tell him. Cody nods.

"Ok, act like I'm someone from your team. Get me to respect you." I tell him. "The senario is this; it's the middle of a challenge and you have an idea of how to help. Make me listen."

"Um, I have an idea." Cody says weakly. I ignore him, looking at my nails like Lindsay would. "I have an idea." Cody repeats. I glance at him before shrugging and looking away.

"Hey! Listen to me! I have an idea to help your sorry butt." Cody says, annoyed. My head snaps towards Cody and his eyes are wide. "Now that is how you do it!" I tell him.

"But if I did that to Duncan I'd be chopped liver." Cody says nervously. I roll my eyes. "Don't show you're scared and he won't care anymore." I say, shrugging. "Thanks Adria." Cody says.

"It's better than being with my poor excuse of teammates."

I sit on a stump, carving a bow and arrow into a tree. Thoughts run through my head about how to sabotage my team but stay in the game myself.

/confessional/

"How can they be so stupid? I'm a Juvie child. You'd think they'd be smart enough to talk about me after we are on our own." I say to the camera, smirking. "Now they'll have to deal with the storm a bit early."

/end confessional/

I close my knife and put it in my pocket. A twig snaps behind me and I whip around, only to find Duncan. "I thought I told everyone to stay away." I say, crossing my arms. "You and I both know I don't apply with 'everyone' Red." Duncan says, smirking.

I roll my eyes. "How can you be so sure? I'm pretty sure I implied I wanted to be alone. And having you here isn't exactly that, Green." I tell him. Duncan chuckles, leaning against a tree.

"If you want to be alone, why am I still here." Duncan asks, a knowing hint to his smirk. "What are you talking about?" I ask, my eyes narrowing. Duncan pushes himself off the tree and walks closer to me.

"Don't think I haven't heard of you, Adria. You're a legend in juvies anywhere." He tells me. I freeze before glaring at him. "So you know what I did, big deal." I say. "Oh, I think it is. You see, I don't think you want the whole world to know, do you?" Duncan ask.

In seconds I have him pinned to a tree. "If a word slips past those lips of yours or even on paper or any sort of communion, you're dead meat Duncan Micheal John Calliver." I warn him. Duncan glares at me.

"How do you know my name?" He asks venomously. "Oh, you see Green, I have my ways." I tell him. The next thing I know, I'm against the tree. "You think knowing my name is anything?" He asks.

I smirk. "No, but this is." I say. "What-" I cut him off my forcefully kissing him. We pull apart at the sound of clapping. I wipe my mouth and step away from Duncan.

"Do we win the challenge or what?" I ask Chris. "Sure, whatever." He tells us. The team cheers while I walk away.

/confessional/

"I'm going to kill Chris. How dare he make me do that." I say into the camera. I hit the side of the outside out of anger. "Does he think it's funny making me act like that? I'm going to kill him."

/end confessional/

I storm into the cabin, crashing as soon as I hit the pillow.
