The Island

Chapter 3

"Ok when do we start... Or where?" I asked. As I put the paper back down. He looked at me with a curved smile then we went back to eating. "We start at dawn tonight." He said. I shook my head ok then we headed for our last class.

We walked together; I grabbed a couple books for the both of us but then a girl came up to me with a nasty attitude like I did something wrong to her. "oh! Thank you for that." She said. With a smile then walked off. I grabbed another book then sat down. "That's Witney." Said Aiden.

I looked at him in confusion. "The girl that took your book... That's Witney, she's liked me ever since Freshmen year." He said again.

After when the bell rang I put our book back then Aiden came around me. He saw Witney standing and waiting for herself to put her book back.

As I was finished Aiden took my hand pulled me close to him then kissed me. My eyes widen then closed I was so in love with him. He let go and I saw Witney walking by giving me a glare.

"What was that for?" I asked. "I don't know I just felt like I needed to do that." He replied. We went to our lockers then I saw Witney come up to me with a nasty popular attitude.

"Who do you think you are?" She asked, "uh... What?" I asked in confusion. "Don't play dumb with me missy. Aiden is mine!" She said in a demanding voice. She walked away during when I was giving her a glare but then I said under my breathe *try not to trip on your way out* then I smiled while walking out of the school.

As I was about to step off school grounds Aiden comes up behind me with his skateboard. On the inside I felt this anger build up now that I see him. I just decided to keep looking straight no matter what. "Hey... You're not talking... Look if this is about Witney then you have the wrong idea. She wants me ok? In fact 2 months into our Freshmen year this girl liked me and I started liking her back. Witney did the same thing." He said

I looked at him with a sorrow expression then looked away. We both made it to my house then did some more research about the island. "We'll need a boat." I said, "my grandpa has one maybe we can borrow it." Replied Aiden.

I looked at him with a smile while the files were printing out. "Ok then where do we start?" I asked. He looked at me then looked at the computer. As he got closer he gave me a peck on the cheek then before he left he told me he was going to get his grandpa's boat.

I stayed in my room waiting for his return but it took hours for him to come back. After a while thoughts were racing in my head wondering what happened to him. He finally got back but it was dark; he hopped through my window when I was in bed falling asleep.

I get up feeling drowsy and tired. "Where the hell have you been?" I asked, "I told you... It took a while to get the boat." He replied. I hop out of bed wearing short shorts and a tanktop; as soon as Aiden comes into my room he keeps staring at me. "Aren't you supposed to be helping me?" I ask. He snaps out of his zone then I get dressed. "Wait... Are we leaving right now?" He asks, "no I just wanted us to get ready." I replied.

We both head down to the boat with our equipment. "Aiden...." I said, "ya?" He replied, "the boat needs a motor." I said once again. We go into his grandpa's garage and we grab a little wagon to set the motor on. We lifted up the motor and gently set it on the wagon then Aiden comes around and takes the wagon then pulls it.

It took us a while to get the wagon where we wanted it to go. After stumbling over sticks and rocks we got it to the dock but it did take a while. When he went to go grab something I hooked the motor onto the boat. It took a few minutes for Aiden's grandpa to find out what was happening.

Aiden's grandpa came back out holding onto Aiden's ear. He throws Aiden at me then I had to catch him. "You mangy little devil children! What would your parents think of this?!" He shouts at both of us; my mom and dad come outside with jackets on and Aiden's mom shows up as well. "What the hell is going on here? It's past midnight!" Aiden's mom says, "tell your son to stay out of my stuff!" Yelled Aiden's grandpa.

Aiden looked at me in a sorrow expression then looked at the parents. "Aiden... What's going on here?" His mom asks, "it was me mom." Aiden said in guilt. I looked at him not knowing he would actually take blame for what we've done.

I felt horrible; we all went home and as soon as I stepped inside my dad had grounded me. I felt like I just got chopped in half. "What?! You can't do this! It's not fair! Mom?!" I yelled in anger, "honey... I can't do anything from this point. You're in high school now you should know better." She said

I was so mad I went upstairs, grabbed my bag, put clothes and stuff in there in a hurry then dashed downstairs then out the door. I didn't think or hesitate or anything. I grabbed my bike then I was gone. It's been a couple days now since I was gone. Aiden came over to my house to see if I was there. "Aiden uh... Hi, aren't you the kid that got in trouble with Anna?" Sureana asks, "uh ya um... Is... Is Anna here?" Aiden asks.

"No she's actually still gone, I haven't seen her since that night." Sureana replies.
