"Come on Ravana, don't be mad at me," said Seth. Ravana just stared at him from her lounge chair with her arm crossed.
"Why shouldn't I be? You were allies with Griffin, and you know how much of a bully he is."
"We were allies, but not anymore. I made a mistake."
"Yeah, and look at where that mistake got you."
"I know, it cost me a million buck and got me eliminated, but at least I get to see you again." Ravana just pouted at him.
"Come on baby don't be like that. You know that you're worth more than a million bucks to me," said Seth. Ravana's pout turned into a mile and she jumped out of her chair.
"Oh you know I can't stay mad at you Sethie," she said dreamily before pulling him into a kiss.
"Awe, how come we never kiss like that Stryker?" Asked Rachel.
"Because we aren't dating," stated Stryker flatly.
"But we should be! We'd be a great couple!" She said excitedly.
"Ok Rachel, this is getting old. We've been doing this for weeks and I've had enough of it! I'm not your boyfriend, I'm not your soulmate, I'm not your anything! So just leave me alone!" Immediately after saying this, Rachel burst into tears and started wailing like a siren.
Anthony, who had been spending his day sitting in a chair in the corner painting, took a minute to look away from his artwork. "Dude, that was a little harsh," he said before returning to his painting.
Stryker rubbed the back of his head, unsure of what to do. "Just ignore it Cody, she'll calm down eventually," he muttered to himself. He started to walk away, but she just cried louder. He looked back at her, which he immediately regretted. He saw that she was now on her knees, holding her head in her hands, still crying and heartbroken. Seth and Ravana even broke their seemingly endless kiss to see what was happening.
"Stryker, what did you do man?!" Asked Seth, having to scream to be heard above Rachel.
"I was just being honest!" He answered.
"You can't be honest with girls man, that's suicide!"
"Excuse me?!" Said Ravana, shooting him a glare.
"Um… I meant with girls other than you babe."
"That's what I thought.". Stryker sighed then walked back over to Rachel.
"Rachel, please stop crying," he said, but this just caused her to cry louder. Stryker frowned, knowing what he had to do.
"Rachel, if you stop crying, I'll…..go out….with you." Rachel immediately stopped crying and looked up at him, revealing her smeared eyeliner.
"You… you will?"
Stryker hesitated before answering. "Yeah, I will." Rachel got up and wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh Stryker, you've made me so happy!"
"That makes one of us."
"Finally, you got her to stop freakin' crying," said Skyler who was sitting at the mini-bar in the pool.
"Yeah, Stryker had to take some "drastic measures," said Ravana.
"Whatever, I'm just glad she stopped.
"You and me both. So Sky, how've you been holding up, you know with the weird way you got eliminated and being without Ben and all that?"
Skyler sighed. "It's been pretty sad, especially because almost everyone on my team voted for me to leave!" She exclaimed staring directly at Seth.
"For the last time, I didn't vote for you," defended Seth,
"Don't lie to me Seth!"
"Skyler calm down, I believe him," said Ravana.
Skyler rolled her eyes. "Whatever, of course you do. And I will not calm down! You guys voted me off because you thought I was psycho! So you want me to be psycho, I'll show you psycho!" Yelled Skyler before running off and laughing maniacally.
"What was that about?" Asked Adelle, who approached the group, to which everyone shrugged.
"Well if you guys don't mind, we have a little catching up to do," Ravana said before kissing Seth once again.
"You guys are like Geoff and Bridgette," said Anthony from his chair.
They stopped. "Hey at least we know when to come up for air," said Seth.
"Yeah, c'mon Sethie, let's go somewhere a little more private," she said seductively before walking away. Seth flashed a quick smile back to the other guys before following her.
Adelle walked over to Anthony and smiled at him. "What'cha painting Anthony?" She asked curiously. Anthony proudly showed her the painting, which was of a pink unicorn posing underneath a rainbow. Adelle saw this and squealed with excitement.
"Oh my god that is the greatest painting ever!" She exclaimed.
Anthony gave a small chuckle. "So you like it then?"
"I love it!"
"Good, I made it for you."
"Awe really?"
"Yeah, you just seem so alone around here and I thought I'd do something nice for you."
"That's so sweet Anthony, thank you," she said, her smile widening.
"No problem, hey I'm gonna go get a soda, you want anything?"
"No thanks, I'm good."
"Alright." Said Anthony before finally getting out of his chair and heading towards the mini-bar. Adelle watched him go and looked at him dreamily. "He's actually kinda cute, in his own way." She sighed after saying that. "Too bad he's gay. Oh well, a girl can dream."
Anthony walked past Rachel and Stryker, and noticed that Rachel had her head on Stryker's shoulder while hugging him, occasionally planting kisses on his cheek. This sight caused him to chuckle. "Hang in there buddy."
Meanwhile, Benjamin was busy with his own problem. "Now Lexie, we can talk about this like civilized human beings," said Benjamin who was being forced back by Lexie. He had just arrived not too long ago with Seth, but he was immediately stopped by Lexie.
"Oh no, you lost the opportunity to be civilized with me after you got me eliminated," she said glaring at him with balled fists.
Benjamin decided to switch tactics. "You know, you look very pretty when you're angry."
"Shut up Ben, you know I have a boyfriend."
"You mean Aleks?"
"No, I'm dating Johnny Depp. Yes I mean Aleks!"
"No offense, but he isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. The guy completely trusted me even after what I did."
"Yeah, and look where that got you," Lexie replied before cracking her knuckles, making Benjamin flinch. Despite her appearance, Benjamin was actually very intimidated by Lexie. The fact that she was taller than Benjamin and her angry glare made her look an intimidating mix of pretty and frightening. Benjamin tried to back away, but realized that he was close to the edge of the hot tub. Lexie closed the gap between the two, and Benjamin gulped.
"Is it too late to say I'm sorry?" Lexie replied by slapping him across the face. "That was for the elimination!" She then kicked him full force right in the groin. "That was for insulting Aleks!" She finished off her barrage by pushing Benjamin backwards, sending him flailing into the hot tub. "And that was just because I don't like you!" She then turned around and left, smiling the whole time, but decided to say one last comment to the now soaked Frenchman.
"Thanks Ben, I needed that."
Prime example of the phrase, "karma is a bit**." Anyway guys, I will be posting the new challenge chapter sometime this weekend, but I will give you a heads-up.
