Lost At Sea

Chapter One //

  1 week before the incident...
--------------------------------------------

  "Did you hear" says my Best Friend coming to sit beside me.

"Hear what?" I say

"Oh come on Kri, you know! Greg Jones is going on the summer trip as well!!"

  So I guess this is when I tell you my best friend, Emily Candle is obsessed with gossip. She just loves it. Everything about it. The summer trip she is talking about just happens to be a school thing. It's supposed to look good on college applications, which I'm applying for in the upcoming fall since i'll finally be a senior. Basically, 10 of us go off to somewhere and offer help. This year we are going to the Caribbean. I'm supppperrr excited. Can't you tell?

"I know, but I don't care. He is a complete asshole, you know this already" I say emotionless.

"Kri, yeah but HE'S HOT!"

I just laugh at her because I know how crazy she is.

We are currently walking home from out last day of school. Normally we would ride in my car but unfortunately it broke down last week. My poor baby.

"Em, you do know we're leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah kri, I'm not blind... wait... SHIT I didn't finish packing! Uggh I'll meet you at your house later. Bye!" She says and then takes off running.

Gotta love her.

I get home, unlocking the door and greeted by well no one. My parents tend to work a lot. My mom is a world known designer so I don't get to see her often. My dad is who knows, I think he does accounting at his work place but I don't know. Since they have wonderful jobs, we're pretty rich. I live in a 3 story house but the entire 3rd floor is just me. Which is great.

I walk into the kitchen and see a note.

Dear kristen,

I am so sorry I haven't been home lately. I stopped by today to grab a few things because I'm leaving for France tonight at 8. Your father is coming with me and we won't be home until the end of the summer. I know you won't either because of your trip but I just wish to tell you to have fun! I'll see you when you get back. We've already left for the airport so I won't be seeing you before you leave.

Love,
    Mom

I sigh in frustration. I love my parents I really do and they have done what they can for me. I just really wish I would see them more often. It gets extremely lonely here and since the incident I can't sleep here without being scared out of my mind. That's why I agreed on the summer trip.

I walk upstairs and finish my packing and call for some pizza to be delivered because well, a girls gotta eat am I right?

The door bell rings and I walk over to answer facing the one and only, Zak Moore. He's Greg's best friend and also another asshole/player.

"14.35 and make it quick" he says smirking.

"Wow, nice to see you too Zak" I say handing him the money.

"Yeah, yeah Kristen. I still have work to do and packing for tomorrow." He says

"Wait you're going too?!" I say shocked

He just smirks and walks away handing me my pizza first. I've never liked him, don't get me wrong, he's hot but still.

Em walks up behind Zak with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"That was Zak aka the hottest guy in school" she whispers a little too loudly which causes him to turn around and wave before he gets in his car and leaves.

"I thought Greg was the hottest?" I roll my eyes laughing

"They're a tie" she says pushing me out of the way taking the pizza and squeeling.

I laugh as I take a seat beside her.

We end up watching a movie which eventually causes us to fall asleep.

Tomorrow is the big day. I guess..
