Chapter 1

Crunch by crunch, the Teen Wilderness Group explored the forest for the first time. All teens, from ages 14-17, were excited for their first meeting. Amongst those teens were two friends, Winn and Adina. Their parents were good friends, but Winn and Adina really didn't know each other. He had his friends, and she had no one. She was not the only girl, but all the other girls don't like her. Why? She doesn't know.

The big group of teens, with their leaders, trailed through the forest on foot. They all had their backpacks with their necessities- water, tent, toilet paper, snacks, first aid kit, that stuff you clean water with- and some other things. But enough about all that, lets check with Adina, shall we?

~Adina Crosswell~

"Small walk on the edge of the forest my butt," she thought, "This is no small walk, this is a freaking jungle journey."

Adina's frustration was annoying enough to disturb China. She doesn't know why her parents wanted her to take this course, it's definitely not because she will learn anything, mostly because she hasn't. Their first meeting is a long hike through a huge forest, what's that going to teach her? Nothing.

The group all stopped walking to look at some bird in its nest. "I have to pee," she looked around her, "Maybe if I sneak around a bush real quick, they won't notice." She quietly tiptoed her way to a big bush about thirty feet back. She was afraid someone would see her, but she was a ways back, so she didn't think anymore of it. She finished her business and was ready to go back to the group about five minutes later. She grabbed her backpack off the ground, and made her way back to them. "Wait," she thought, "Where are they?" She looked around but there was no one in her sight. "Hello?" She called out. No one answered, it was just her, the trees, and the birds.

*Smack*

And the mosquitoes.

"Oh my gosh," she said out loud. "No, no, no, no." She shook her head, still turning and looking around, taking a few steps forward and a few steps back. "No!" She screamed, tears pricking her eyes. She was on her own, their was no one. She slumped on the ground and began to cry. "How will I get back home?" she wondered, "How will I ever see my family again? I don't know how to survive in a forest."

"Hello?" She raises her head. "That's a voice!"

"Is anyone out there?" The voice yells again.

"Hello!" She screams, "Hello?" She looks around all of the trees and bushes. 

"Hello?" The voice roars again. She looks to her right to see a boy come out behind a tree. "Adina?" He says, looking at her. "Why is he here?" She narrows her eyebrows. "Maybe he knows where everybody else is." 

"Where is everybody?" She asks him as he raises an eyebrow.

"No hello? Love you too, Adina," he folds his arms. "And I don't know, I was hoping you were everybody."

"Well, i'm not," she folds her own arms.

"How did you get out here, anyway?" He asks her.

"I just had to.." she trails off. She doesn't want him to know she had to pee. "I just was getting some fresh air."
