Reality Bites:
Chapter One:
First Impressions
"Hello, and welcome to 'I Know What You're Doing This Summer'. I'm your host, Ava Paige, and today 22 teenage contestants will soon arrive at McMahon island off the east coast of America. They'll have to spend a gruelling eight weeks doing the most horrible, most despicable and the most torturing things ever known to human kind."
Ava Paige was walking up and down the docks of 'beautiful' McMahon island carrying her pale blue clipboard.
"Whoever can survive this run-down summer camp the longest receives a grand sum of 1,000,000 dollars, plus a free getaway to an unknown destination." Ava stopped walking and then winked.
"So tune in for the reality show 17% better than 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' and 100% better than the abomination known as 'Jersey Shore'" Ava shuddered in disgust.
Right then, a motor boat appeared into view, dropping two teenage boys carrying suitcases and bags.
"Hey guys!" Ava cheerfully greeted. "How was the trip?"
"Fine, I guess" said one of them with blackish hair. He shrugged.
"You're Clint right?" Ava guessed she pointed her pen at him while she was crossing him off the list. " The one who broke your mother's table in the audition tape?"
The guy nodded, embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject " I thought we were going to an Eminem concert."
"Yeah, me too" the other boy added. He looked around for a moment, and then returned to Ava's gaze. "I'm Zart, by the way"
Ava nodded. " Look's like our next pair of contestants have arrived!"
Another duo of boys arrived at the docks, Ava looked at her clipboard and saw that these two were Frypan and Winston, who both were ecstatic to be on the show.
"Can I say hi to Mom?" Winston asked.
"Okay..."
Winston got close to the camera. "Hi Mom! I love you"
Ava, Clint and Zart all rolled their eyes as the next two people arrived.
Unlike the first two pairs, two girls arrived, in a deathly silence.
"So, Teresa, Brenda. How was the trip?"
"Don't ask, please, just don't" replied Teresa, who was giving a death stare to Brenda.
Ava slowly nodded as both girls picked up the luggage and moved to the other side of the dock while the others were standing.
Next, came fast friends Newt and Alby.
"What is your opinion on the island guys?" asked Ava.
Newt looked at his surroundings for a minute. "Looks like the bloody camp from buggin Friday the 13th"
Alby agreed. "If anyone here sees Jason, you" he poked Ava in the ribs, "owe me $50"
Newt facepalmed.
Two new girls arrived, one of them had dark skin and her hair was shaven to her head, and the other was exactly the opposite. She had pale skin and long strawberry blonde hair. Ava looked at her clipboard and saw that the former was Harriet, and the latter was Sonya.
"Hey guys, nice to have you here" Ava greeted while shaking there hands. "Any thoughts?"
Sonya smiled "Thanks" then paused "hey, wasn't this supposed to be a spa resort or something?"
Harriet looked at her funny "Spa resort?" she said "I thought this was Nitro Circus"
Brenda folded her arms "Nitro what-now"
"Nitro Circus" corrected Alby "They do these awesome and daring stunts and..."
"Good for you" interrupted Ava, silencing Alby. "Here are our next two, Thomas and Minho!"
Minho, who was wearing a t-shirt of the Android guy eating the Apple symbol, was the first to speak. "Why is this not Nitro Circus"
"Welcome to the party bro" Alby remarked.
Minho rolled his eyes as Thomas curiously asked Ava "What is this place?"
Ava shook her head "Not until all of the contestants arrive"
"Contestants?"
"Well, duh. You wanted to audition"
Next came snobbish and nasty Cath and 'tough' chick Beth. Both seemed to hate each other more than Teresa and Brenda.
"Get out of my way! I came here to win not to talk about Beth." retorted Cath after Ava asked her about the trip. She muttered under breath "Idiots"
Everyone rolled their eyes at Cath, while Chuck and Aris arrived on the island.
"Hi everyone!" Chuck cheerfully greeted as he walked over to Sonya and started chatting to her about his lunch.
Aris was significantly more quiet than Chuck. He shook Ava's hand and gave a quick introduction, before going to stand beside a bored-looking Teresa.
After, a talkative and friendly girl named Lavinia arrived with a more quiet and nice girl named Rachel. They both introduced themselves and started whispering and giggling.
"What's up, muchachos"
Jorge and Gally had just reached the island, both with almost no luggage.
Ava smiled. "You must be Jorge, and um Gally"
Jorge nodded. The taller one, Gally told Ava to address him as 'Captain Gally'.
Ava sighed and then turned to the bored contestants. "We'll be starting in a minute, the last contestants will be arriving soo..."
"Hey guys! You must like Hell's Kitchen too!" Ava was interrupted by a girl with dark brown curls carrying a laptop. "Wait a minute..."
"We're stuck on some cruddy island" called out Chuck.
The girl shrugged. "I'm Bernadette, and the girl I arrived with is Ciara." Bernadette pointed to a teenage girl with auburn hair standing behind her.
Ciara managed a small wave at the others.
Ava clasped her hands together. "Welcome to McMahon island, one of the most dangerous islands in the Atlantic."
Minho interrupted "What does this have to do with Nitro Circus?"
Sonya followed "And the spa!"
Bernadette joined in "Where's my Gordon Ramsey?"
Ava sighed. "Don't you get it? We lied"
There was a huge gasp from the contestants.
"Instead you'll be staying 8 weeks on McMahon island, competing for a one million dollar prize. Every three days we'll be hosting a challenge, and the loser team will have to vote off one of their team members." Ava smiled and continued "I'll give you half an hour to find the elimination grounds and I will split you into teams."
Lavinia called out "So basically what you're saying is that this is basically Total Drama Island?"
Ava sighed. It was going to be a long day.
Thanks for reading this. This chapter is basically an introduction chapter. I was inspired by Total Drama Island to finally write this, as I've been thinking of a reality show type story for a while. I had to bring in some OC's to balance the boys/girls and also have enough contestants. Lavinia is from my story (which I haven't updated in a while) Confessions From An Obsessed Fangirl. Bernadette, Cath and Ciara are originally supposed to be from Group B. I would love any feedback on the story and I'll post the next chapter soon (I promise)
