Stranded Together

Chapter 1

A.N. Hey, guys. This is my first book, so I don't know if it will be that good. I hope you enjoy!

Cammy rushed into homeroom Monday morning, located her friends, and floped into her desk.

Alex and Sarah, her lifelong best friends, jumped when she sat down. "What's the big hurry?" Alex asked.

Cammy took a deep breath, and looked at her friends. Alex's brown hair was streaked with her lastest colour-blue, and kept getting in front of her face. Even though you could barely see her brown eyes, the blue went perfectly with her teal-green top, and black combat boots. She could beat anyone at gym, and everyone knew it.

Sarah was the complete opposite, with blond hair in a neat bun, and a blue flower dress matched with blue flats and green braclets. She was the most fashionable person in the class, and always knew what went with what, and what didn't. Even though, she was very athlectic, and almost as good as Alex.

Cammy's style went in between her two friends. She had brown hair with natural blond streaks, a purple skirt with a blue shirt, and black slip-on shoes that made it easy for her to run in. She was just as athletic as her friends, and in her spare time, she enjoyed gardening. Her room had many potted plants, and she watered them all twice a day.

"Hello? Are you still with us, Cam?" Sarah waved her hand in front of her friends face, waking Cammy from her daze.

"Sorry." Cammy smiled. "I want you guys to come to an island resort with me. My dad got the tickets, but he can't come, and he's letting me bring who I want. You guys in?"

Alex and Sarah sqealed. "I'll take that as a yes," Cammy said, laughing.

"You're going on a trip?"

The three girls turned around, to see Sam standing right behind them. He was a big guy, and many people in the class hated him. He was probably the only person who could have beaten Alex in a fight, but even then, people didn't know. His sandy hair was like a mop on his head, and his blue eyes would constantly look for ways to embarrass you.

"I would love to join you," he continued, smiling pleasantly, as if they'd begged him to come with them.

"Um, you're not invited, right Cam?" Alex said, looking at her friend for conformation that this bully would NOT be coming on their trip.

Cammy, on the other hand, was caught in a predicament. She didn't want Sam to come, but if she said he couldn't, he would tell everyone in the class her little secret. At the beginning of the school year, their class had had a bunny rabbit named Lola. When it was Cammy's turn to look after it, she had accidentally left the door unlocked. That night, Lola ran away, and Sam was the only person who knew that Cammy had done it. No one in the class thought she was responsible, but Cammy knew that if she didn't let Sam come, he would tell everyone.

"Sure, Sam," said Cammy, much to her friends surprise. "I can get 1 more ticket for you."

"5. 5 more tickets." Said Sam with a smile. "I want to bring some friends, so I'm not lonely."

Alex and Sarah glared at Sam, then looked at Cammy, expecting her to say no. They were both taken aback when she sighed and said "Fine, 5 more tickets. Anything else?"

Sam smiled. "No," he said. "That's all."

After he walked away, Alex and Sarah turned toward Cammy. "Why did you let him come, not to mention bring 4 other people! What's with you, Cam?" Sarah said.

Cammy gulped. Even her two closest friends didn't know she was responsible for letting Lola run away. "I didn't want to fight with him," she shrugged. "Besides, it's not like my dad will actually let me bring 5 more people!"
