There is a distinct difference between who you are in front of others and who you are by yourself. And when you're constantly around others those lines can be blurred beyond recognition. All in all, there are three things to be learnt about my story: 1) even in dire situations, teens will continue to be petty, temperamental, and cranky (or is this just Carrie?) 2) this is not a love story (although I'm pretty sure Alex wants it to be) 3) social hierarchy proves to be ineffective when trying to discover ones true self Seven teens. Put in an unbelievable circumstance that forces them to trust each other and put their differences aside. But how will that work when you have so many clashing personalities and hormones raging? Who do you depend on when you feel that you can only trust yourself? How do you expect people from completely different social groups to get along? There is only one answer to all these questions, and that answer can only be found at sea. Turns out that everything changes while you're drifting.
