Chapter 1

"So you six have been chosen to live underground for a period of six months. Lighting, provisions, and clothing will be provided for you. But shelter and other necessities will be your job to find." As the announcer finished his speech, I looked around at the other five contestants who, like me, have been chosen to live underground for five months. They all looked like they wouldn't last a week. I looked at one girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She held a diamond studded purse on her arm. She cleared her throat in and obnoxious way to get the announcers attention.

"Ahem. Will there be maids because I don't do work." She said. Her loud crackly voice stabbing my brain.

Another girl, this one with shoulder length black hair and black clothes, spoke. "What a revelation. Miss Prissy over there is too rich to clean her own -."

The announcer cut her off. "Now it's time for a meet and greet. Everyone follow me to the kitchen so we can eat and get to know each other." He led them through the house to the kitchen. They all sat down and remained silent. A large boy across from me with dirty blond hair and bruises showering his face leaned over and spoke to the announcer. "Ummm. What are we going to eat?"

The prissy girl sighed. "I hope it's low in carbs."

The announcer stood up and clapped his hands together. "Now we will go around the table and you tell us your name and where you are from." He pointed at me "Let's start with you."

I stood up "Hey I'm Blake. I'm from Ney York."

The prissy girl stood up next. "Hi. I'm Michelle and I'm from Beverly Hills." She said. Flipping her hair.

The black haired girl was next. "I'm Jennifer and I'm from Washington."

She took a swift glance at me and sat back down.

The large boy was next. "I'm Tyler and I'm from Texas. Nice to meet ya'll.

Another boy that I didn't notice before stood up. "Uhhh. Hey. I'm Mike and I'm from New Jersey." He had light brown spiky hair and had a necklace with a cross around his neck.

Then a girl stood up. She had dark red hair and she wore a dress. "Hello. My name is Rin. Nice to meet you all. Hope we all can be friends. Oh, and I'm from Alaska." She sat down and the announcer stood up.

"Now that we've got to know each other, it's time we eat."

He clapped his hands together and the food was brought out. Plates of ribs, chicken, rice, peas, steaks, soda and other things I couldn't identify was set in front of us. Almost instantly everyone started eating. Michelle didn't eat anything without observing it first. "Ewwww. There's fat on here." She said throwing away the piece of rib.

Jennifer looked up from her plate. "That's the best part."

I remained quiet until everyone was done. The announcer stood up. "Now that we all are full, I think it's time for bed. So Blake, Tyler, and Mike you are all bunking together, and Michelle, Jennifer, and Rin you are all together."

Jennifer scoffed. "Wow. In the same room as Michelle over there."

Michelle rolled her eyes and flipped her hair. "Ditto."

Rin smiled. "I can't wait to be friends."

The announcer led us to our rooms. He slid the key in the lock and unlocked our rooms.

"Here you go. Get some rest and be up at nine and we'll leave for the cave around eleven. So be ready and go get some sleep."

He turned around and walked away. We got into the room then Mike shut the door. He turned to us. "Well. Are ya'll ready for tomorrow?" He asked us.

I walked over to the bed closest to the wall and sat down. "Kinda. I wonder how it will be."

Tyler took off his shoes. "I'm kind of nervous. It's a reality show, right? So it there's any trouble, we'll have help, right?"

Mike laughed. "Calm down, dude. It'll be okay."

I looked at Tyler. "Yeah. It'll work out just finr."

They both got into their beds and laid down. I could hear Tyler praying as he went to sleep. I turned off the lights eager for tomorrow to come.
