Hey guys! So the island and myths are fake, just to let ya know. (: (of course you knew that) I will try my best to be more descriptive it's just that I'm stressed about school, school AND SCHOOL! I mean who isn't? Oh, wait...Caleb isn't.
But please tell me how I can improve my descriptions. Please!
Any-who...hope you enjoy!
Four's POV
Uriah, Zeke and Will are on the dock, helping me fill the boats with our bags and supplies. And yes, I said boats. We need two boats because there's to many people.
We have Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Lynn, Marlene, Christina, Will, myself, and all the other crap we need.
"Are you guys done yet?" Christina asks for the hundredth time.
She's standing behind us, wearing her purple galaxy short board shorts, black tank top that says 'Dauntless Pride' in white, sunglasses and a black floppy sun hat. She's holding her black sandals in one hand and her bag in the other. 5 purple bags surround her, probably containing a year worth of make up and clothes. And don't forget about shoes!
"Nope," Uriah says as he lifts the box containing food
"Are you done now?" She asks again.
Will shakes his head, to exhausted to answer her.
I discreetly place the supplies that Tris and I need to scare Uriah, under one of the benches.
"Now?"
"Now?"
"Now?"
"Now?"
"Now?"
This goes on for another 10 minutes.
"Now?"
"Yes! We're done! Take a goddamn seat!" Zeke exclaims. Christina giggles and gets in the boat, taking a seat near the edge.
"We're here!" Marlene stops running, she bends down, puts her hands on her knees and tries to catch her breath.
She's wearing a pinkish, orange halter top with black shorts, black ankle combat boots and her hair is in a messy bun.
Lynn just looks like Lynn. Black hoodie, black skinny jeans, and combat boots.
Shauna is wearing a neon green, loose tank top, white shorts, tan flip flops, and her hair is in a ponytail.
"Okay. Girls put your bags over there." Will says, pointing to the second boat.
They do as said and wait for further instructions.
"Hmm... So Marlene, Uriah and Will, your riding on the boat that Christina is sitting in. Zeke, Shauna, Lynn, your riding with me in boat number 2." I say, chewing on the inside of my cheek.
It takes about ten more minutes to prepare the boats and to make make sure everyone and thing were on the boats.
"Ready?" I ask Will.
"Ready!" He shouts.
I start the engine of the small speed boat before speeding off towards Coral Cove.
About 5 minutes later, in the distance, I see the small green island, with an extinct volcano, covered in green trees and moss. Most of the island is covered in trees except the bay. (Picture Mako Island, just a little bigger... Kay a lot bigger)
PAGE BREAK
When we get there, I'm surprised to see Caleb and Tris standing near their boat.
Tris is wearing a loose grey and black tank top, tattered black shorts, and black converse. Her hair is in a simple braid put to the side with her side swept bangs in her face.
Caleb is wearing simple board shorts and a dark blue muscle tee.
Tris, as expected, keeps a good distance away from the water. She stares at the white sand, making smiley faces with the tip of her shoe.
"Aloha," Will says as he carries the bags down from the boat.
"Hey. Need some help?" Caleb asks Will.
Will nods. Caleb, Tris, the group and I come towards the boat and start unloading.
Once we're done, we start to drag the bags and supplies to our camping spot.
"So... Where are we going?" Caleb asks as he pulls some of his and Chris' bags.
"We're almost there. Hang on." Uriah says.
"Ugh! We better be. The humidity is making my hair frizz." Christina says as she runs her fingers through her hair. Which looks poofier than usual. (Is poofier a word? Sorry if it's not)
"Umm just make a right over here. Then a left. Turn there. Take this dirt path." Will mutters as we take the dirt path.
"And we're here!" Will drops the bags and throws the map he made of the island, into the air.
I look around to see we're in a small clearing. The trees surround us, shrubs, small palm trees, small boulders and rocks.
Uneven patches of grass and dirt are scattered over the clearing.
I could hear birds screeching and insects buzzing.
"Yes! Finally. Will, can you please get me my tent bag thingy. Ya know the bag that has my tent?" Christina asks.
I chuckle at her.
"Sure thing Chris." Will says, blushing. He's obviously flustered because Christina-his crush- chose him to get her bags. It gets annoying at some points.
I roll my eyes.
We start setting up our tents and preparing everything else.
I set up my tent near the edge of the clearing. Next to Christina's bright purple tent and Tris' black dome-like tent.
Once I get my tent set up, I get inside and I try to organize my things.
A few minutes later..
I hear some shuffling in my tent but I ignore it.
"Hey. Do you have the stuff?" Someone asks behind me as I'm moving my bags.
I turn around to see Tris in my tent.
"Huh?"
"The stuff to scare Uri." Tris says.
"Oh... Ohhhh. Yeah I have it right here." I say as I look around my tent. I eventually find it and I pick up the bag.
She grins. Which makes me smile. Wait. Makes me smile?
"So do you want to go over the plan?" She asks, raising her eyebrows.
"Sure," I say.
She nods and bites her lip.
She looks cute.
"Thanks number boy. You look... Cute too. I guess."
My eyes widen. I. Said. That. Out. Loud!
Tris smiles a little. But it's obvious she trying to hide the blush.
"Umm. I.. I uhh... We should go over the plan." I stutter as I scratch the back of my neck.
"Yeah..." Tris says awkwardly.
"Kay so..." We go over the plan over and over again until we finally got it.
PAGE BREAK
"Hey guys! We're starting the bonfire!" Zeke yells as he 'knocks' on the tent.
"Mm-kay!" Tris says.
She grabs the materials she needs and unzips the tent.
Before she heads out, she turns to me, smiles and winks.
I feel a strange twinge in my chest.
What the-?
I push the feeling away and I give her a small smile.
I set up a small lantern and my sleeping bag before I head out.
Once I'm out of the stuffy tent, I take a deep breath. I look around to see the sky turning darker shades of blue. Mixing with orange, pink and purple. But that's all I see because of the trees blocking the view.
The group, Caleb and Tris are sitting on foldable camping chairs and some logs.
"Scary story time and s'mores! Then tomorrow, we're gonna explore some parts of the island to show Caleb and Tris around. Eeee! This is gonna be exciting!" Shauna squeals.
Tris chuckles. "Sure sounds like fun,"
Caleb nods in agreement.
Zeke starts the fire and we all grab our marshmallows, crackers and chocolate. And sticks.
"Kay. Who wants to go first?" Christina asks.
"I will! Okay. So... Ummm.. Oh!" Uriah says.
"It's was a dark and eerie night. Two little boys were playing around Coral Cove. They played and played-" Uriah is cut off by Zeke's laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Uriah asks.
"Haha... Because... Y-you said... P-p-play!" Zeke laughs harder, clutching his stomach.
"Dude, you think wrong!" Will says as he throw a marshmallow at him.
"What the freak dude!" Uriah shouts as he points both arms towards the marshmallow.
"You just wasted a perfect marshmallow!" He says. I look at the marshmallow to see it's by Tris.
"5 second rule. Durh!" Tris says as she picks up the marshmallow, checks it and pops it into her mouth.
I laugh along with her brother.
"Eewwwww! Tris! That's not very lady-like!" Christina scolds. Marlene and Shauna nod, wrinkling their nose in disgust.
Tris shrugs, still chewing the marshmallow.
"Our ancestors drank from the same cup and they ate on the dirty table and I think floor. Why can't I do that?" Tris asks.
"Because it's dirty. Durh!" I say to Tris. Zeke, Will, Caleb and Uriah nod in agreement.
She laughs. "Oh my God. You guys can't be serious. God, I'm hanging out with a bunch of Pansycakes."
"Uh! I am not a Pansycake!" Uriah says as he puts a hand over his chest.
"Hey! I do the 5 second rule too! Who said I was was with them?" Lynn says as she stands up and walks over to Tris. She sits next to Tris and analyzes her.
"I like her. We should keep her." Lynn says after awhile.
"So you wanna keep her because she does the 5 second rule?" Shauna asks.
Lynn nods as if it we're the most obvious thing in the world.
"Because I'm tired of hanging out with a bunch of girly girls and guys who act like girls." Lynn says.
"I don't act like a girl!" I shout.
"Keep telling yourself that." Lynn says.
I open my mouth to say something else but Tris beats me to it.
"Are we gonna continue the scary stories or what?" Tris asks.
"Okay, okay. Soo... Where was I?... Oh! Kay, so. The kids played and played, non stop. When their parents said it was time to leave the island, they said no. The parents, obviously tired, said alright. The kids continued playing until their parents noticed something strange about them. They decided ignore their gut feeling and to drag the kids with them back to Maui.
"When the kids found out, something snapped. Their eyes turned blood red, their teeth pointy and sharp. Their nails were as long as an eagle's talons.
"The parents became scared of their own children. Together, they ran towards the boat, hoping to escape the nightmare. But as soon as they started the boat, the engine shut down. In the distance, they saw the children walking towards them with pointy sticks, rocks and somehow knives.
"They children caught their parents, and took them to Coral Cove's volcano. The children tied their parents to a wooden stake. They beat their parents with rocks, sticks and slashed them with their knives. The parents were badly bruised and beat. And when they thought the children would stop, the children had a mischievous glint in their eyes and wicked smiles.
"The children ended up burning their parents and throwing their remains into the volcano. Once they did what they did, the children turned back into children. Once they realized what they have done, they cried and cried. They ended up committing suicide by throwing themselves into the volcano to forever be with their parents.
"Rumor has it that you could still here the parents cries as they we're torched and the evil laughter of the demon possessed children. Hope you have a good time sleeping!" Uriah says with a smile.
"I'll give you a 4." Will says.
"Mmm... a 2." Tris says.
"3!" Christina and Caleb shout.
"Why are you guys giving me low scores!?" Uriah asks.
"Because it was stupid!" Lynn hollers.
"My turn!" Chris shouts.
"Kay so there was a girl shopping at the mall when there's this sale at Forever 21 and-"
"Is this supposed to be a scary story?" Shauna asks.
Christina nods. "Yes. Now shut up."
"So as she was making her way to Forever 21, the power was gone. Just. Like. That." She says as she snaps her fingers with each word.
"She looked around to see if there were any others in the mall. But there was no one. Not a soul. But then, she heard a loud crash and bang. Then BAM! There's a man in front of her, swarms of moths surrounded her. The man had her credit card and said 'Your credit card is declined!' The girl was so frightened, she threw her stilettos into one of her shopping bags, which had this new, cute Michael Khors bag and black pumps and this sleek, blue dress-"
"Chris! Get to the point!"
"Okay, okay. So she took off with her bags. Once she reached the exit, she smashed the door open, and scurried towards her car. She was scarred for life. Her credit card was declined. And she found out that she had left the black pumps back at the mall."
"Your story doesn't make any sense!" Uriah says.
"Yeah! Uriah's story was better than your's!" Zeke says.
"I'll give it a 0.2!" Tris says.
"Ugh! But it was soo scary! I mean her credit card was declined! Plus, there were those stupid moths!" Christina shudders at the thought.
"That's Christina. Tough as cotton balls." Will chuckles.
Christina playfully glares at him.
"Her two biggest fears! Moths and a declined credit card!" Lynn hollers. We all laugh. Christina gives up and joins the laughter.
We continue laughing and goofing around until the gang make their way to their tents, hollering good night. Including Caleb.
But Tris decided that we should stay up awhile before we scare Uriah.
"Ugh! My marshmallow!" Tris cries as her marshmallow which is set on fire.
She shakes the stick around and blows on the marshmallow but only makes the fire spread on her stick. She shakes it one last time before the marshmallow flies off of her stick and onto my face. It's covering my left eye and parts of it made it's way below my lip.
I scrunch my face while Tris laughs. I chuckle a bit.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry Four." She says as she stifles a laugh.
"Its okay." I say as I look around, trying to find a towel or a shirt.
She sets her stick down and she makes her way towards me.
She dabs my my face a little, sticking her tongue out, which I find as cute.
"Let's see... Right here..." She mumbles as her fingers nimbly brush the sticky, burnt marshmallow off of my eye and cheek.
Her fingers find their way to my lips. Lightly brushing my bottom lip.
There's this twinge in my chest again.
What is it?
It can't be...love or longing. I just met her.
But then again, there is something called 'love at first sight'.
But I don't believe in that crap.
But your heart does.
I push the feeling away but it keeps coming back.
I somehow long for her touch. For her lips to be pressed to mine. For her to wrap her arms around me. For her to look at me with love and longing. For her to say 'I love you'.
"Kay, I'm almost done." She mumbles.
I could hear her breath hitch.
Her eyes move between my eyes and my lips.
I gulp.
I've never let a girl come this close to me.
Come to think of it.
I've never kissed a girl.
I've never wrapped my arms around a girl.
I've never kissed a girl's hand, forehead or cheek.
I've never said the words 'I love you'.
And for some strange reason.
I want that girl to be Tris.
Wait. Hold up.
I just met her!
Again, your heart believes in love. It believes you could learn to love somebody, to let someone in.
No. I can't. And it's the smart thing to do. I won't hurt myself or Tris.
It won't take that long until your true feelings start to show.
I push the thoughts away and I focus on Tris.
She finishes up and lightly sucks on her finger.
I swallow thickly.
"Ya know, the marshmallow didn't taste that bad." She says.
"Yeah. I'm sure it did." I say with a chuckle. But for some reason, my voice comes out more gruff and thick.
She chuckles lightly.
"Ya know, I've never heard you giggle." I say curiously.
She chokes. "Me. Giggle? Please, I'd rather go shopping with Christina in a Spongebob costume than giggle."
I laugh.
"It's that bad huh?"
"Yup. You'd have to change me and my feelings to make me giggle.
"I bet you 15 bucks that I can make you giggle. 5 bucks if I make you snort like a pig."
Tris grins. "Deal,"
I give her a toothy grin.
"But first, let's scare Uriah." I say with a mischievous smirk playing on my lips.
She laughs. "Kay. Let's go."
Hope you guys like this chapter. I'm pretty satisfied with it. 2,900+ words! I'm aiming for at least 4,000 words. But I'm not completely satisfied with the way it came out. I feel like I rushed it. Did I? Please tell me.
Anyways, please review, favorite and follow!
