Stranded Survival // Ethan Dolan

Chapter 9: Are you alright?

We were walking for like an hour, and we have seen so many types of colorful animals. Monkeys would jump from tree to tree to follow us, and the birds would fly over our heads. We were all looking at the sky and the animals in amazement. After 2 extra hours of walking, Rachel stopped. "Guys, let's take a break. We're all pretty exhausted." She was right. We needed to drink some water too. Only Ethan wanted to keep going. "Guys, 30 more minutes." "I think we need a break, Ethan. We can't get dehydrated or we'll die," I said, knowing he would stop for me. "Alright, let's take a break then."

We all sat down under some trees and got some coconuts to drink and eat. We were all thirsty and hungry, so we ate them in no-time. While everyone was eating, Grayson walked over to me. "Hey, you alright?" I looked up. "Yeah, why?" He sat next to me. "Well, you have two guys on you while we are fighting for our lives and trying to get home." I sighed. "Well, it's hard for everyone in here, so 2 people fighting over me is not what I'm worried about. I mean, people care about all of us. There must be some people crying right now, thinking that we are dead and won't come back home. But I'm not letting that happen. We are going home, no matter what."

Grayson was just amazed by my pep talk. "Wow, Kayla. That was amazing. You're right, we do need to get out of here. This place may look beautiful, but this isn't our home." Grayson stood up. "Our home is back with our family." He smiled at me. "Let's get going then!" I said in excitement.

We have been walking for a while and it was becoming dark. As we were walking, Mr. Smith stopped us, so we all bumped into each other since we were walking in line. "Bro, what the hell?" Ethan said, angry at him. Mr. Smith turned around. "It's becoming dark, I say we stay here and try to make a fire. "Sure, but I'm not going to next to you," I said, lifting my hands up. Mr. Smith looked pissed which scared me, but wasn't going to change my mind.

Grayson and Mr. Smith were making the fire to keep us warm, while I and the rest were trying to get comfy. I laid next to Ethan and was holding him tight. He made me feel safe like everything was going to be fine.

Zasha's POV

I was in school, not focusing since I have more important things to worry about. "Miss Valentine!" I looked up to see my geography teacher right in front of me. He looked at me angrily and pointed at the board. "Can you explain to me how why it is so hot in Miami and not in New York?" Now I was in trouble. I'm terrible at geography. "U-uh..." He smiled. Now I was sure I got detention. "Hah, you stubborn fool. It is simply because Miami is closer to the equator. He walked over to his desk. I want you to learn all air currents from a week ago in the Pacific Ocean. I felt this anger build up inside me, but I kept it in. "Yes, Mister Johnson." What a dick. But not paying attention in class was only going to cost more time. I needed a plan. But first, I was going to learn all the air currents in the Pacific Ocean.

Sorry for the late and short chapter guys. I got a concussion and need to rest. I still made a chapter so I hope that you're happy!
