"They don't call it Mako Island for nothing. It's surrounded by sharks. It's a shark breeding ground." Alex said. "Exactly." Eliza said. "Well right now, that's the only place that's safe for us." I said. Just then, something bumped the side of boat...
"Oh my God I'm so nervous. What if we don't get picked?" I asked, worriedly. "Relax Angel. Remember we have to be calm and collected. Be cool about it." Eliza said. "Or we might just go back to that boring school with uniforms." Alex said, nonchalantly. We looked at her. "What? It's true." She said. "Let's just take a walk." Eliza said.
Then she gasped. "Okay I've been know a great place we can go to." She said. "Where?" I asked, curiously. "The forest." She said. "Bitch what?" I said. "Don't worry. My Mom does her morning jog there all the time. I sometimes join. It's so beautiful. I'm telling you. We can go there and relax. Let's just hope we get picked." She said. I looked at Alex.
She shrugged. "I guess it couldn't hurt to see some nature." I said. "Oh God Angel. Don't tell me you're a tree hugger?" Alex said. I frowned at her. "Girl no." I said. She laughed. We followed Eliza through the city and to the park. I looked around. "The woods is so beautiful." I said. "It is my Mom-" Eliza was cut off by something jumping out in front of us. It was a deer.

"Oh my God it's so beautiful." I whispered. I was trying not to startle it. It looked up at us and stared. We froze. It continued to stare before it started munching on leaves. Then it just walked away. "Awww." We said. "Okay when I get my bachelors degree, I'm opening an animal sanctuary." Eliza said.
"Oh my God that would be so cute." I said. "I've always thought I would start a cooking business like Martha Stuart." Alex said. "I thought about becoming a chef. But I wouldn't want Gordon Ramsey review. I mean I respect him but he's hella harsh with his word." I said. They both laughed.
We walked around the woods got an hour before we came back to the park. "Well I gotta get home. My Mama is gonna be worried sick if I don't come back." I said. "Mine too. See y'all tomorrow." Alex said. "Later guys." Eliza said. We each ran off to our cars and got in. As I drove home, I thought about what would happen if I'd id get picked.
The thought of me going to an elite private school. It made me all giddy and happy inside. I pulled up to the house and got out. I looked down the road and saw Eliza's and Alex's cars pull into their driveways. We should've carpooled. I walked up to the door and walked in. "Mama!!" I called. "In here baby." She said. I followed her voice to the kitchen.
