The Hero
Team 1: Connie, Fulton, Luis, Charlie, Dwayne, Russ, Goldberg
The sun was starting to go down, they were going nowhere. They were lost. They spread out their blankets, and sat on the floor, reading the map was useless.
"So, what do we do now?" Russ asked
"We may have to spend the night."
"Maybe Julie and them are around here," Charlie hoped.
"I don't think so, they went the opposite direction, and we're just going in circles." Connie said.
"I'm tired." Luis said.
"And hungry," Goldberg added. They sat in silence, till Charlie said,
"I think I have some stuff in my bag," he said reaching for it. Everyone had their hopes up, and their eyes turned wide.
But then Charlie realized
"Oh wait, I took it out cause Coach said we didn't need it."
Their hopeful faces were shattered.
"I got some water," Russ said pulling it out.
They all went for it, scratching each other, pulling hair.
"Ow!" Connie yelled.
Dwayne managed to get it, and unscrewed the cap.
"It's mine, all mine!" he cheered.
Everyone tackled him, and he dropped the bottle.
"Noooooooo!" they all screamed not trying to catch it.
Slow reflexes.
All the water spilled onto the dirt.
"What do we do now..." Goldberg asked pitifully.
Dwayne licked the dirt.
Team 2: Julie, Averman, Portman, Adam, Guy, Jesse, Ken
"I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of. I'm afraid that I'm not sure of,"
"Averman will you just shut it!" Ken said getting annoyed.
"Yea Averman you've been singing non stop, it's really annoying." Julie said.
"I have a beautiful singing voice." he said and continued his song but this time screaming it
"I"m afraid that I'm not sure of! A love there is no cure forrrrr!" his voice cracked as he hit that high note. And as soon as he did that something flew out of the tree.
He jumped into Portman's arms again. "Ahh!" he screamed.
"What the hell was that Averman?" Guy asked.
Team 1: Connie, Fulton, Luis, Charlie, Dwayne, Russ, Goldberg
"What the hell was that?" Luis said jumping up.
It was a horrible screaching noise that could have came from any dying animal.
"I don't know but I'm scared ya'll." Dwayne said.
"Stop being a baby, if anything comes near us we'll light it on fire." Fulton said pulling out his lighter.
They all stood, and stared at him in disbelief at his stupid idea. He dropped the lighter, than dropped to his knees.
"We're all going to die!" he screamed.
"No we're not, we're all going to suffer from starvation, catch a horrible flu from the cold nights, get bitten from a poisonous animal in the deep wilderness, go insane from no contact with the outside world then die." Connie said.
"We're all going to die!" Fulton screamed again, this time a tear falling from his face.
Goldberg stood up, pretending that maybe he should be the hero of the group.
"We are not going to starve to death!" he said "One of us has to go look for food, atleast for tonight. So who's gonna do it?" he said putting his hands on his hips.
Silence..
cricket..cricket..
"Dwayne, you come with me, you have the rope. We'll go rope something up." he said.
"Wow Goldberg you're braver than I thought." Connie said dreamy eyed.
"No thanks Connie, you're not my type." Goldberg said putting a hand to her face.
"Psh! You're not mine either." Connie said trying to play off that she just got rejected...
by Goldberg!(haha cough)
Side Note:
Hmm so the teams aren't as far from each other as they think! Interesting...I think that calls for another chapter hmm?
