Hey, people! I am going to try this again. I tried writing a different story about the book Lord of the Flies, but I didn't like how it was going. It got to where I was going too quickly. This story is different, but I don't want to tell you why because I don't want to give anything away! This it taken place in present time. Please review to tell me how you like it! Thanks! -Zoe :)

"Oh, my goodness! Sam, this is not a good idea! I changed my mind, I want to go home, please ,please, please!" Karly cried as she tugged on her best friend's sleeve, trying to get away from the horrible place that she was about to enter.

Sam rolled her eyes, and resisted the urge to punch Karly in the face as she said for the millionth time, "Karly. It will be fine. I have been on this trip a bazillion times, and each time, I arrived at England in one piece. The plane has never exploded, no wings ever fell off, and we only crashed in the water once." She paused, and glanced over at Karly, whose eyes were as big as saucers. She had stopped tugging on Sam's sleeve. "Kidding." Sam said with a smirk.

"GOD, Sam! That was SO not funny. Not even close." Karly said angrily, and smacked Sam on the arm.

"Okay. Sorry." Karly said, and continued, "Bad joke." She gave Karly a half smile. "I swear to you, we will not crash. And you have to get over this fear of planes sometime, so why not now? Please, Karly? I really want to go on this trip with you. You are my best friend..." Samantha looked at Karly with puppy dog eyes, and Karly gave in.

"Fine. But-"

"Oh! Shoot! We gotta go, Karly, or we're gonna miss our flight! We only have an hour and a half to get on the plane!" She smiled at Karly, who mumbled under her breath, "Yeah, only a freakin' hour and a half," before pulling her suitcase through the big doors at the entrance of the air port. With a heavy sigh, Karly followed, taking one last look out at her safe home of sunny California.

"Well, we still have a half hour! We made really good time." Samantha chirped, as she plopped down into a chair next to their boarding gate with a sigh. "Sit down! Relax before we get on the plane. It's going to be a long plane ride."

"Thanks for reminding me." Karly mumbled as she sat down next to Sam, laying down her luggage on the floor in-front of her. She then leaned over, and picked up her carry on luggage to find the book that she was currently reading. Survival Skills for Dummies. Okay, so maybe she was a little paranoid. But it might come in handy, right? Right? Her thoughts were lost as she read about how to make a weapon using a rock, vines and a stick.

About a half hour later, a women's bored sounding monotone voice came on the overhead speaker. "Flight 25A, please begin boarding." In one second, Karly snapped her head up and stuffed her book in her bad. Her heart rate began to accelerate rapidly. "Sam, are you sure this is a good idea?" She worriedly asked, trying to keep up with Sam's long stride. Being only 5'2, keeping up with a 5'9 girl had it's disadvantages. But what Karly lacked in size, she had in beauty. Even though she was short, she had long beautiful auburn hair, and light green eyes. From dance, she had a flat stomach and strong, lean legs.

Of course, Karly thought that Samantha was pretty too, but Sam thought other wise. "I'm too tall, too skinny. I look like a stork" she would whine, and Karly would just roll her eyes. She hated it when she said that, because she knew that guys were interested in her... that fact that they weren't that datable wasn't the point. Sam had pretty brown hair, and brown eyes, but her hair was streaked, naturally (which Karly was really jealous of) and her eyes weren't boring. They had speckles of gold in them, and...well... you get the point.

Karly gave the attendant her ticket, and then she walked through a long corridor, feeling claustrophobic. Finally, she walked into the plane, and noticed that she and Sam were the last ones to board the plane. As she looked up and down the isle, she noticed that it was all... boys! Well this isn't so bad!She though happily to herself, and began looking forwards to the long plane ride. She likes guys! Sam, on the other hand, wasn't looking forward to all of these boys drooling over Karly and acting like she wasn't even there. Karly said that she wanted the isle seat, so Sam sat down with a sigh, looking out at the window, not looking forward to the long plane ride. Karly, on the other hand...
