Joel Dommett - Jungle Love (I'm A Celebrity Fanfiction)

Phone calls from home

Connie P.O.V

Me, Joel and Jordan leave camp. It's pretty much pitch black. So much for an early night, but if it's for treats for camp, then I'll do anything. Joel laces his warm hand into mine as Jordan walks ahead of the two of us. I look up at him, his messy hair and brown beard making him look rugged and attractive at times like this. But his eyes take my breath away every time I see them.

"We've got this guys." Jordan says as we approach what I assume is our trial. There's a large type of grey shack. Joel lets my hand go as I stand still by Jordan's side. He pushes the door open and walks in. There's a wall with words and sockets in, with 3 different cables. There's 3 chairs, 3 head sets, a red phone, and a timer. I look around as I follow in after Joel. The walls are bleak and dark, dirty and grimy. It stinks like any other trial does. The floor is dirty, covered in massive spiders.

Jordan shuts the door behind him, the room lit up with few LED lights in the ceiling. We all put on a pair of goggles, and I take my seat.

"Oh my god, those spiders." I point out.

"Celebrities. Welcome to the jungle switchboard, where tonight, you will have the chance to play for all of your campmates phone calls from home, including your own. You'll have thirty minutes to connect as many calls as you can. But in able to connect them all, you must complete a series of riddles. To connect the phone cable, you must plug the cable into the socket with the correct answer. If the riddle is correct, the call will be transferred. When you want to end the call, press the end call button. When the thirty minutes is over, the challenge is finished and no more phone calls can be received. Good luck." Joel reads.

We all sit down on our chairs and put on goggles and head sets.

"I'm happy to ditch my phone call for other peoples." Joel says to me and Jordan.

"That is so sweet of you babe." I say, rubbing his knee. "I'll give mine up too." I say. I'll burst into tears and not be able to concentrate if I hear my sisters voice on the end of the phone. "Ok so 6 phone calls, 3o minutes means 5 minutes a call. I guess that is enough time." I say.

The clackson rings and a flap by my head opens. Swarms of flies come into the room, setting the spiders off like crazy. The headset announces that first up is Larry's phone call.

"The riddle is, the more you take, the more you leave behind." The speaker says.

"What is it?" Jordan says frustrated, brushing the flies off of his head.

"Footsteps I think." I say. I've heard most riddles before, as I loved telling them to my parents growing up.

I look for the word footsteps, and plug the cable into the socket once I find it on my switchboard.

"Correct." It says. We watch the timer until it says 25 minutes, and then press end call.

"You are playing for, Connie's phone call." It says. I reach over from my seat and pick the phone up and put it back down straight away.

"That's such a lovely thing to do Con." Joel smiles, as he takes my hand and brushes his thumb over the top.

After a few successful phone calls for Wayne, Martin, Adam and Jordan, Joel's comes up. He puts the phone back down and we get to the last 5 minutes.

"Last phone call guys." I say. I already know who's it is. Everyone has had a phone call except for Sam. I know she misses her boyfriend so much, and she would do anything to talk to him. There is so much pressure on us getting this right.

I brush the flies quickly from my goggles, as the speaker sounds and says that Sam's phone call is next. Please be a riddle I know.

"What goes around the world, but stays in one corner?" It says. A huge smile lights up on my face and I breath a sigh of relief; I know the answer off the top of my head.
