The Journey Begins

Holly P.O.V

This is it. This is the day. The day this journey into the jungle finally begins.

"Are you ready Holly?" The captain of the bright white speed boat asks once I've stepped inside. The rocking of the boat almost makes me fall, so I quickly sit down and spread my arms across the back seat.

"As ready as ever!"

Watching Australia whizz by whilst sat in the back of the boat and the spray of the river floating in the air, I start to feel extremely nervous yet excited. It's so warm and truly magical. But up on the horizon where we head is even prettier.

"Here you are Madam." The captain announces, pulling up in a dock beside a colossal villa over framing the river. Looking up, it is simply gorgeous, platted white with glass interiors and a huge pool out front.

"Wow." I whisper to myself, stepping out of the boat and taking the champagne offered to me. Looking over the villa again and examining every detail, it takes me a little longer than it should have to spot four more people already waiting in the garden.

"Hi." A deep, masculine voice echos friendly first as he walks over to me. Very muscly, stubble on his chin and a large illuinating smile, I give him a warm hug. "I'm Jamie Lomas."

"Holly...Richmond." I smile, scanning my eyes over the mansion and then back to him. "You're an actor right?"

"Yeah." He blushes. "And you are -?"

"Um, this might sound weird, but, I'm a YouTuber." I admit in a quiet giggle. "I basically make YouTube videos for a living."

"Ohh, that sounds cool." He smiles, but I can still tell he seems a little confused.

Next to give me a gentle hug is a long blonde haired model.

"Hello." She announces, coming up to myself and Jamie and giving us both a prolonged hug. "Rebekah."

"Holly." I smile back. "How crazy is this?"

Next to greet me is toned skin, short black hair and a gleaming smile, it's actually somebody I know, giving me some kind of reassurance. From a girl band that I fell in love with when I was younger, the Saturdays, I make it out to be none other than Vanessa White.

"Hi." She smiles. "Lovely to meet you!"

"Hey Vanessa, I'm Holly." I squeal slightly, pulling her into a short prolonged hug. "I literally love you."

"Awh thanks, you're so pretty." She grins back.

A fifth figure makes his way to me, an older man that pays a significant resemblance to someone I recognise.

"Hello young lady, I'm Stanley."

"Oh my god you're so tall." I whisper, giving him a small hug as he lets out a laugh. "And uh, hi. Holly."

"Nice to meet you Holly." He laughs, overlooking the river in front.

After a session of nervous small talk, but with a defying giggle with Vanessa, the main two hosts pull up on their shiny speed boat in style, making their own way up onto the dock.

"Hello celebrities!"

"Hi!" I beam back, a little louder than everyone else.

"How are you all?" Dec asks. "Nervous?"

"Hell Yes." Vanessa says from beside me, pulling me into a small arm hug.
