Mia POV
I feel my eye sight blur as I slowly peek my eyes open. I gaze at the beautiful blue sky. I can feel the piercing of the gravel road below me, I slowly shift my weight, causing even more pain to my damaged skin. I slowly lift my hands and see that they are both grazed from the landing and my left hand is bleeding lightly. I gently push myself into a upright position. I notice Estelle, Brides and Jackson stumbling towards me. I fight the pain that told me to stay lying down and have a slow death, I staggered to my feet wiping the blood that dripped down my forehead. I shuffle towards the trio slowly making sure not to fall and cause further injury.
Estelle POV
I watch as Mia slowly staggers towards us. She looks really badly hurt. Omg I think her head is bleeding. I stumble towards her more urgently. I have to help her. We stand face to face now, Mia's cuts look much worse up close. Oh no even her glasses have snapped in the middle. I start to tend to Mia's wounds whilst Brides and Jackson help Michael and Lana. Soon all six of us are standing face to face all of us examining each others wounds and cuts. When I suddenly remember.
"Hey wait where's Dontae? " I ask. I watch as their faces suddenly turned from painful expressions to a sudden shock and even fear...We all spread out without another word and try searching for our friend.
"This is hopeless, we have been searching for seven minutes and haven't found a thing" exclaims Lana
"Yeah, are you sure he even jumped in the first place?" Asks Mia
"Yes, Dontae jumped before me and Michael" replies Jackson with a surprisingly steady voice for someone who has probably just lost their best friend...forever.
"WAIT LOOK THERE HE IS" yells Michael, pointing in the direction of where he had saw Dontae. We all spin around to where Michael was pointing. It is Dontae! We all rush to him, giving ourselves further injury to our legs. Dontae was staggering up the steep hill, cutting himself on countless bushes, thorns and tree branches. Finally making it to the top of the steep hill we all sit down on a huge nearby rock, not knowing what to do next.
"Guys if we want to survive we are going to have to play to each others strengths, but first we are gonna have to find out what we are good at most" I finally speak up.
"I agree, we aren't gonna stay alive much longer if we dont help each other and play to our strengths" agrees Brides
"Yeah, I agree too I mean we only just survived getting off a bus" says Jackson with a little humour.
"Ok, well what is our strengths?" Asks Dontae
"Well let's start easy I guess" says Lana "Who's the fastest?" I watch to my greatest suprise that all hands pointed to me EVEN Michael's.
"Wait what!" I say shocked
"C'mon Estelle you done better than all of us in the school FunRun" -true fact, in my school FunRun I came 6th out of 150+ yr8 girls making the Cross Country Team- "that makes you faster than us AND you can run the longest distance" finishes Brides.
"Ummm okkk, so who's the strongest?" I glance at the boys who immediately start a arm wrestling match even though all three of them have injured arms. After a few minutes Michael had won both matches.
"I guess Michael's the strongest" says Brides. "Now who's the smartest?" I point to Mia and so does Brides, Lana copies, and the boys not really caring.
"Wait what?" Asks Mia blankly "I'm not the smartest"
"Yes you are" I say kindly and give her a warm smile, she gives me a smile back and just accepts it.
"Well, I know Brides strength" declares Mia
"What, falling in love with Chris Hemsworth" I giggle
"Hey" says Brides in a lovers way, causing me to laugh.
"Ha, your right Estelle but I think Brides strength is Beauty" says Mia I suddenly snap out of my laughing. "You know in that tv show um what is it? Ummm oh yeah 'Survivor' you know Brain vs Brawn vs Beauty, Brides comes under Beauty" explains Mia.
"Ohhhh yeah ok, plus Brides is a true artist when it comes to make up" I agree
"Aww thx girls" says Brides happily.
"Np bestie" I say back
"Well Lana I think that you are really creative and that can help us out, anyways creativity could save our lives" says Jackson suddenly joining the conversation.
"Umm ok" says Lana happily.
"Well Jackson I think you are the bravest in the group" I say honestly
"Well ok I guess I am pretty brave" thanks Jackson.
"Well Im probably the only one who can survive out here food, shelter and water wise so I guess I have the skills to live out here" chirps in Dontae
"Ok" agrees everyone.
