Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. I've also just watched Spyfall (yes I know it came out in the UK on Monday but sadly I didn;t get to watch it till today).

Milton POV
I woke up to the sound of waves and laughter. I climbed out of my sleeping bag and saw that Jack and Kim were sitting around a fire. I had noticed that Kim had gone to find Jack last night. I also saw them yesterday morning sitting around the fire chatting about something. I caught the end when they said 'Are we keeping quiet?' which has left me with some questions. I reckon they have just kissed but then again on the first day it looked like they knew each other so then again it might be more. Only time would tell.
"Morning Milton" Kim said to me
"Morning. It's already hot today at this time. What time is it?" I said. I might be smart but out in the outdoors I'm completely useless
"I would say around 8ish so that means that we should receive a basket soon and we would have to wake the other boys up" Jack said looking up at the sky
"Jerry is awake as I saw him getting up when I was coming down" Kim says
"And Eddie was up when I was coming down" I told them
Just then the loud horn sounded and the basket was delivered to us which Kim got. The other boys also appeared at the same time.
"Morning Team Water, Hope you slept well. Today is a water challenge which means that you will need wetsuits. There are 5 included but only the people who are playing will need them. The challenge is called The Great Race and 3 of you will be playing and 2 of those will be Jerry and Milton. You get to choose the other. When the horn sounds go to the games area and today you will NOT need helmets" Kim read out. I began thinking about what would be included in The Great Race as I'm not the best of swimmers. I saw Kim give Jack the basket which I think I saw some fruit.
"We have 5 rolls of bread and a selection of fruit which might not keep in this heat so we all get 1 roll and whatever fruit we would like" Jack told us all. I helped myself to the roll and a pear along with some apple. We had decided that we would keep the remaining fruit in the shade of the forest area to hope that it would keep till tonight.
"Guys who going to be our other swimmer?" Eddie asked
"Just to let you know I'm not the best swimmer" I said
"Doesn't matter Milton as long you give your best we don't care ok" Jack said and I nodded
"Don't put me in. I'm super slow as well and The Great Race sounds like it's either a mega long race or a swimming obstacle race" Eddie said
"Kim you or me? Jack asked
"Don't mind" She replied
"Rock, Paper, Scissors and whoever loses has to do the challenge" Jerry suggested and we all agreed
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" They said and they both picked rock
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" And this time they both went for scissors
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" They both picked rock again
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" Kim went for rock and Jack went for paper
"Jack your swimming" Jerry said.
I went over to the baskets and gave out the wetsuits. They were black and had blue arms and blue down the side of the body and legs. They also had our wave logo on it to the left side with our name underneath. They looked actually really nice.
"Guys I'm saying sorry for letting you down now" I say as I really want them to know I'm not the best and will cause us to come last.
"Milton as I said earlier as long as you do your best. I couldn't give one where you come" Jack tells me again
"Milton Jack's right we all couldn't care if you were last as long as you gave 100%" Eddie says
"If it makes you feel any better I'm not brilliant as swimming either" Jerry said actually making me feel better for once. We have only been here for just under 2 days and he has made me miss home a lot.
After we finished we decided to clean up and Kim wanted to sun bathe and we found a ball which we were playing catch with. It wasn't long after that which the horn sounded and so we all went down to the games area which we were the first there. It was Earth which arrived next. I saw that there wetsuits were the same design as ours just that instead of blue it was green. Just after them it was Wood which arrived just after Earth had the same design also but had brown instead of green or blue. The Island Master then appeared out of nowhere
"Morning." But before the Island Master could continue Fire turned up.
"Sorry were late but Don held us up" A boy named James said. He had done up his wetsuit so we could see his name unlike the rest of us who had our legs in but the upper part wasn't done. James was quite tall and was very built in muscle and I could see him being in competition with Jack for girls and I could also picture him as a player. Many of years hidden in the background has helped me picture. It doesn't always work as I assumed that about Jack but he is nothing like that.
"Well Fire please head to your stand. Jerry, Eddie, James, Emma, Joanna, Charlotte, Felix and Anna will all be playing and 1 other person from each team. It is called The Great Race and it is basically a race. There are 3 sections. The first part will be with the current working with you then with no current and finally swimming against the current. Luckily for you only 1 person will swim each section and you get to chose because were being nice. You will be holding a baton which you will pass on to the others after pulling yourself onto the platform that they are standing on. I'll give you a minute to discuss tactics." The Island Master said then disappearing
"How does he do that?" I heard one of the girls from Wood say
"I reckon Milton, Jerry then Jack" Kim said
"Can't I go first?" Jerry pleaded
"I've seen you in the sea Jerry and your better than Milton so you will be better going second. No offence Milton" Kim told Jerry
"None Taken" I say as I didn't feel offended just having the truth said.
"Ok then times up. I did say I'll give you a minute. Ok everyone now follow me" The Island Master said after appearing out of nowhere. We then began walking down a lane which as we walked further down it got muddier so I knew water was near. We then reached a fork in the road.
"Those who are playing to the left and the others to the right" The Island Master said to us
We said goodbye and walked to the left. It wasn't down the lane we came across a massive river which I could see 2 platforms out. The first leg was a straight leg, 2nd started of straight and then had to turn a corner which was quite wide and then the last person had to finish turning this massive corner and then had 2 smaller ones before the finish.
"I give you 2 minutes to sort out who is going where then we will take you to your platform" The Island Master told us.
"We still on for Milton, Jerry then me" Jack said to us
"Yep. Good luck guys" Jerry said
I then went to the starting platform and saw Jerry and Jack talking to each other while getting into the boat. I then looked around and saw Eddie and Kim on one of the banks of the river. Kim noticed that I saw her and gave me the thumbs up which is what I needed. I then noticed the boat carrying the other players out to their platforms leave.
"Ok are you ready?" The Island Master said and we nodded
"On your marks... Get set... Go!" With that I jumped in and started swimming. The current was giving me the boost I needed but it wasn't long before I fell into last place. I could hear the people shouting and cheering us on. When I arrived at the platform I saw I was really far behind the others and Jerry gave me his hand to help me onto the platform. I then gave him the baton and he jumped off into the water. When I looked out I saw that Earth had pulled out quite far into the lead as they were almost at the next platform then Fire was in 2nd place. They were too far behind Earth for them to catch up but were quite a way in front of Wood which was slowly being caught by Jerry. I looked ahead and Jack gave me thumbs up saying that he knows that I tried my best.
Jerry was almost neck and neck with the swimmer from Wood when they reached the platform. I saw Jack give a hand to Jerry like did to me which meant that Jack got the upper hand. Once Jack set off I saw that Wood adopted the same approach that we did and gave there player a helping hand but it was too late as Jack was too far in front. He was really quick. I then looked to the finish where Earth finished. Jack was catching Fire up but they crossed the line before Jack could catch them. I would say another 20 meters and Jack would have beaten them.
I saw that Earth were all celebrating together. I think they have had a bad run then which means this is good for them. One of the girl's from Fire came and pushed passed me and knocked me to the floor and when she looked back at what she did she just sniggered. She was on leg 1 with me.
Jack ran up to me and helped me up. We then went over to where the others were and began walking back to camp.
"I call first shower" Jerry yells as we get back into camp
"It's your turn anyway" I say to him. As we all walk off to other areas of the camp to sort ourselves out Kim pulls me towards her.
"Milton before you say anything. We all know you're a weak swimmer and we could all see that you tried your best so don't apologise for anything" Kim tells me which actually makes me quite scared of her.
Just as I walk back into to camp I see that Jack and Eddie have got changed into their trunks and were now in the sea. Kim then took off the top and shorts (don't worry she had a bikini on) and ran in to join them. I was going to look at the wildlife around here but then decided it was too hot and went and joined them.
"Did Jerry actually take a shower?" Eddie asked
"Not a hot one. Apparently he got something cold and slimy down his wetsuit and wants to wash himself." Jack said. I noticed that Jack and Jerry had become good friends just like I had with Eddie.
"Do you think we will ever get a break from playing all these activities?" Kim asked
"I doubt it" Eddie says "What! I just don't think the Island Master will be giving out rest days anytime soon" Eddie counteracts after we give he a weird look.
"I dunno. We might get the odd 1 or 2 I reckon" Jack says.
Jerry then chucks a ball at us so we get very wet. We weren't standing out very deep and then Jerry comes and splashes us so Kim jumps on him and holds him under the water
"Not cool Kim not cool" Jerry says when Kim finally lets him up and the Jerry tries jumping at Kim but instead hits the water and gets Jack soaked. Jerry then looks up and sees Jack standing over him and swims away. Jack then swims after him and we all follow him. We all decide to play catch with the ball and we must have stayed in the water till it was about 5ish and Jerry got cold and decided to go and have his shower now. Jack and Kim went and sat by one of the trees talking about something. Whatever Jack was saying was making Kim laugh
"Do you think there is something going on between Jack and Kim?" Eddie asks bringing me out of my thoughts
"Yep. They are so close even after 2 days" I say
"I think they might of met before as on the first day I'm sure they both had a look on their faces which said I know who you are" Eddie tells me
"So it isn't just me who thought that then" And Eddie laughs
"I would say Jerry might of noticed but from what I can tell he is confused and stupid" Eddie say and I nod
"I heard Jack say to Kim something like are we keeping this a secrete and Kim nodded so there must have been something" I tell Eddie but before he could reply Jerry shouts that he is out of the shower.
When I come out I see that a fire has been lit and Jack has been in the other shower. We have 2 but one is coldish water only. One has so much hot water and the other has a bit which was heated by the sun.
"Jack did you take another cold shower?" I ask him
"Yeah why?" He asks
"It because you could have had a warmish shower yet you chose to shower in the ice tank" he laughs at my choice of words
"Milton have you ever taken a cold shower before you came here" I shook my head "That is why I take the what you guys call the cold shower as for it it's warm" Jack said
"Jack I know this is personal but how do you know all this stuff. This is more than a few odd days camping" I asked him
"It's complicated. Maybe another day" He said while still attending the fire.
The horn then sounds and the basket arrives. I still don't know who delivers it.
"There's less than yesterday but enough to eat a decent meal" Jack said as the others had come.
Jack began working on the meal with Kim helping him with the chopping and Jack was talking to Jerry. Eddie had returned from taking a shower and I began talking to him.
"Are you sporty back home?" I asked him
"Not really. I hate P.E but I have just started to take Karate and swimming lessons to get me fitter" Eddie says
"What belt?" I ask
"Just got my orange belt last week but I haven't been going for too long"
"I've been going to karate as well but that is to stop people from bullying me for taking French Horn lessons but sadly I'm still a yellow belt." I tell him
"French horn so you can read music" I nod
"Guys dinner is served" Jack calls and we walk over and he hands us some pots which have some rice and chicken on top.
"Jack are you sure the chicken is fully cooked?" I asked him
"Milton I assure you its fully cooked and if it isn't well I have the thickest chunks so it would be me who gets ill" Jack said which made me feel a bit better
"Guys what did the note say which came with the basket?" Eddie asked
"Erm let me look" Kim says while getting up to go to the basket
"Team Water. Well done for coming 3rd today in the Great Race. Here is your food for tonight and just a tip to go with it make sure your chicken is fully cooked. Overall you are 2nd with 18 points." Kim reads out
"Is that it?" Jack asks and Kim nods. We then return to eating dinner is silence.
"After dinner we should play some sort of game" Jerry said breaking a silence which had broken out among for most of dinner.
"What game?" Kim said carefully and if I've learnt anything about Jerry over the last few days
"I was thinking because we don't know each other brilliantly well yet we could do this game which you make up 2 truths and a lie and we have to guess which 1 is the lie. You up for it" Jerry said and we all nodded.
"I'll start. I'm half Mexican, I'm supposed to be living with my dad at the minute and I'm currently number 3 in California in Dance. What do you say?"
"1 sec I'm just going to get something" Jack says before climbing up the tree into his room without even taking the safe way up. He then appears not even after a minuite and climbs onto a lower branch before jumping down and landing perfectly.
"Here some paper each so we write down our predictions so we don't cheat" Jacks tells us as he gives out the paper. I write down that the lie is that he is third in California at dance. Eddie agrees with me, Kim went for He's half Mexican and Jack went for living with his dad.
"Jack you are right well done. You go next." Jerry says
"So you're supposed to be living with your mum at this point in time" Kim confirms and Jerry nods
"Ok for mine erm lets see I've never met my mum, I've been to 18 different schools in my life and I'm a second degree black belt" Jack said. I could all see us thinking about it. I went for the 18 different schools as no one can do that.
When we held them up, Jerry was the only 1 who hadn't gone for the schools one and went for that he hadn't met his mum.
"You are all wrong. I'm a 3rd degree black belt" I was shocked
"How have you been to 18 different to schools? That's like every 6 months you move school" I say
"It's complicated. Maybe I'll tell you one day but not yet" Jack said looking down
"Milton your next" Jerry says. I had figured out what I was going to say
"Ok. I have never scored below an A in an exam, I'm dating someone and that I'm supposed to be Mr Greenway's science camp at the current point in time" I said without a fault. The others began to write down there predictions. Jack and Kim went for that I had never scored below an A in an exam, Jerry went for that I'm dating someone and Eddie for science camp.
"It's I've never scored below an A as once just once I scored a B and below you ask Jerry I'm dating a nice girl named Julie." I say feeling quite proud of myself
"Kim you got that right you go next" Jerry said
"Ok then. I've won Seaford Beauty pageant, I've never asked a boy out and I've never dumped someone" I actually know Kim won the beauty pageant as I saw her picture in the California newspaper my dad was reading. I'm sure Kim has had a boyfriend before so I don't know so I went for that she has never asked a boy out. I saw that Jack had put the same as me but Jerry and Eddie went for that she has never dumped someone.
"She's going to say were all wrong now" Eddie says and we all laugh a bit
"Sadly no I'm not Eddie as Jack and Milton got it right. I've never asked a boy out" Kim said
"Seriously you have never asked a boy out" Jerry said almost shocked
"I've been asked out but I've never asked someone out. I believe that the boy should make the first move" Kim says looking in the direction of Jack like she's trying to hint at something.
"Ok then. Eddie your turn" Jerry says
"I work in a cafe, I have dancing lessons and I have broke my arm twice" I decided that since Eddie loves food that he couldn't work in a cafe so went for that. Everyone else had the same idea apart from Jack who put that Eddie was having dancing lessons.
"You are all wrong. I have never broken my arm but have broken my wrist twice" Eddie said.
After we finished that we realised that it had really overcast and it was going to rain so we all went into the tree house. When we got up there it started lashing it down with rain and it began going dark. We all then said goodnight and went our separate ways for the night.
