I laid there in the sand resting, it was a beautiful day. The sun was out, the waves were calm, and all was quiet on Destiny Islands, until I got hit in the face with a soccer ball. "Whoa! Hey Will! Sorry! Are you okay!" Nick yelled.
"Ow, that hurt, and I was having a good day too. Thanks Nick." I said as I got up. "Hey, it's not my fault; Richard's the one who hit it not me." Nick said. "Don't even think about pinning this one on me Nick." Richard said. "Hey guys, where's the ball?" Greg asked.
"Maybe Greg ate it." Evan joked.
"Get over here and say that." Greg said.
"Make me." Evan replied. Greg started walking over to Evan and Evan started running.
"Get over here!" Greg yelled chasing after him.
"Those two will never grow up." Tim said as he walked over. "Yeah, makes you wonder if they're even fourteen." I said as I started to walk home. "Who knows, maybe they'll grow up." Richard said as he started following me. "Yeah sure, when we get off this stupid island." Kevin said as he came up behind us.
"Hey Kevin! We haven't seen you all day!" Where have you been?" Nick asked. "Just thinking, what if there's any thing out there instead of this island?" Kevin said. Suddenly we heard a scream. "What was that?" Richard asked. "Look!" Nick yelled. We saw raft being tossed and turned with someone on it. "What happened? It was calm a few minutes ago." Kevin said. "Come on lets go help them." I said as I ran over.
The raft hit the shore and broke apart, when the waves departed, someone was laying there face down. I ran over and kneeled beside them. It got up and started coughing, "Are you okay?" I asked. Then I realized it was a girl. She fainted so Nick picked her up and took her to the club house.
When I got back with some coconut soup, she was sitting up. I put the soup on the table and sat down in a chair behind her. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yes, I think I am. Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Will, who are you?" I asked back.
"I don't know…I can't remember anything." She said grimly
"That's okay you'll probably remember it in a few days." I replied as I got the soup for her.
"Yeah, who knows." She said as she took a sip of the soup. "Blah! What is this?" she asked in disgust.
"It's coconut soup; it's practically the only thing other than wood, water and sand. Although, there are some other fruits here on the other side of the islands." I said. "Sorry if you don't like it, but you'll probably have to get used to it." I apologized, Nick then walked in with half a coconut in his hand.
"Here's some coconut milk mixed with mango and papaya juice." Nick said as he gave here the coconut shell, smiling.
"Thank you…um what's your name?" She asked.
"Nick, hope you like your drink." Nick said blushing.
"I do." she said.
I looked at both of them and decided to leave them alone for a while. "Well, I'll just leave both of you alone so that you two can get to know each other." I said as I went to the door and walked out.
She met everyone and we decided to go exploring to find some food for a party that night. "We'll all split up and meet back here when the sun goes down." I said and everyone agreed. I was searching through the jungle looking for something good, suddenly I heard screams. 'What's going on?' I thought then I saw Evan running past me being chased by Greg.
"Get back here so that I can hurt you!" Greg yelled
"He's after me lucky charms!" Evan yelled
"Idiots." I said to myself as I continued my search.
"I got some coconuts, papayas, and mangoes!" I yelled as I got back to our meeting place. No one was there, "Guess they haven't gotten back yet." I said as I lay down on the ground. "I'll just wait till they come back." Suddenly I heard a noise; I shot up and looked around…nothing. "Guess it was my imagination." I said as I laid back down. I heard it again; I got up and started to look around. I saw something moving in the trees, it had yellow eyes. "Get out here and fight like a…whatever you are." I said as I grabbed a stick. "Hey!" someone yelled behind me. I swung the stick across their head and they fell down. I looked at who it was and saw Richard,
"Richard! Don't do that!" I yelled.
"Ow, sorry, but I wanted to scare you a little, but not get smacked in the face." He said getting up. "It's time for the party, come on." He said heading back home
"Did you see anything while you were here?" I asked as we walked back.
"No, why do you ask?" Richard replied
"It's nothing." I said as we got back home.
"That was a great party." Nick said as we started going to our houses.
"Yeah, let's do it tomorrow." Tim said
"Sure if Greg doesn't eat all the food again." Evan said.
"Shut up!" Greg yelled
"Guys, come on, you've been going at each other all day, give it a rest." I said as I got to my house.
"Yeah, just fight tomorrow." Richard said yawning.
"Well, see you guys tomorrow." I said as I went inside.
I was lying on my bed sleeping when I heard thunder outside. 'What's going on out there?' I thought as I went to the window. "Oh man." I said as I watched a huge tidal wave coming for the islands. I ran outside and tried to warn the others by yelling. No one came out of their huts. 'Maybe they went to higher ground.' I thought. Then I started to run toward the mountain so that maybe I can survive this. I was stopped by these strange shadows and they were surrounding me as if they wanted me. "Get away from me!" I yelled. Unfortunately I had nothing to defend myself with. "What am I going to do?" I asked myself. I tried to make a decision, but it was too late, the tidal wave came crashing down, and I was swept away.
