I'm not going to fall

by kittypurrymeow

Spending everyday on the death trap of a plane, what more could you ask for? Possibly someone to kick Alejandro out, or maybe for Heather too disspear from the game. Too bad none of them were going to go as soon as they hoped for. Or maybe they wanted each other on the show? Alejandro and Heather were tough, and none of them would admit how they felt.

7. Like worms in my stomach

The night of Chris' party had arrived, and the competitors were all walking in, wearing more fancy clothes than usual, it was apparently just a party because of Chris' hometown, where all of his relatives had come, and made a mess of the party. They hardly threw the rubbish away and left food everywhere. Alejandro was no where in sight, while Heather sat at one of the tables with Team Amazon, they were separated into their teams, they got use too sitting with one another, it was like a rule. Alejandro was always one to scheme up a storm, he was good at it, just likes his flirting, it was atrocious how many girls he had tried to get to falling for him, and now, he was trying on Heather, although she knew, it was having some effect, she was slowly going to fall for him, his charm, and get voted off. Heather sat at the bench with her team mates, while DJ sat with Team Chris, she was tapping her finger nails on the table, while leaning on her hand, this "party" was terrible, too her. Courtney and Gwen had become serious best friends, talking about everything, and how it was weird they both thought they saw Duncan, because Gwen and him were "such good friends." I looked around, and saw Alejandro coming out of the cabin where the challenge was, he looked tired, rugged, his clothes were barely on him, and he rubbed his temples slowly, in a circular motion. Heather furrowed her eyebrows, and a slight frown. Everybody by now had moved away into smaller groups, Sierra and Cody nearby to Gwen and Courtney, DJ with his fish, Noah, Owen, Izzy, and Tyler all huddled around a fire. He was walking towards her, expressionless. It was worrying.

"Decided to show up." Heather whispered, still leaning on her hand, but not tapping her fingers, Alejandro sat next to her.

"Yeah." He quietly said, nodding. He didn't look at her at all.

"I know you painted the marks on DJ's fish." Heather said bluntly, she looked at Alejandro for a reaction, he put his hand over her mouth, and his finger to his mouth, saying "shh" He then proceeded to say "What DJ doesn't know won't hurt him. So don't tell him." Alejandro removed his hand. Heather nodded slowly, she was scared of him honestly, Alejandro was scary. "That way, when he goes, we can get further." He whispered into her ear. His warm breaths on her neck, it made her shiver.

"mhhmm." She nodded her head, her eyes were wide and worried. Alejandro got up, and left, going back into the cabins that Chris had arranged us to stay in for the night, since we;d be leaving the next morning. He didn't say goodbye, or wave, he got up and left. Heather could still smell his deodorant lingering around, she felt like this was a dream.

Heather looked over at Gwen and Courtney, who had seen everything. They were giggling, Gwen's hand over her mouth, and Courtney clutching onto her stomach. Heather couldn't help but blush. She wasn't angry, just confused. What lead Alejandro to do that? Her mouth was slightly open, she need water. She needed to think clearly, not about him. Anything but Alejandro. She quickly walked over the drinks table, grabbing one of the cups of water, and sculled it. She couldn't keep going on like this, what was this boy doing to her? He made her feel giddy, like she was going to vomit whenever he was around, like worms were in her stomach, eating each other, rubbing against each other. It was nauseating. She had to go into the cabins, the Amazon's cabin. It was still like this, the teams.

"What is wrong with me?" Alejandro mumbled, sitting on the bed, his hands were on his face, leaning on his knees. He was frustrated, he was telling Heather everything, he didn't know why, he thought it was because she was similar to him, she was tough. He also thought it'd help her trust him, a bad idea.

It was 8 in the morning, and everyone had their suitcases, boarding the plane. There was unhealthy tension between Alejandro and Heather, when Alejandro walked past her, and nudged her out of the way, making her stumble. She knew he was smirking, she could feel it. He was starting to tease her again, and it wasn't how they normally would play. It was more in a joking way now, She didn't know why. She never understood him. And she knew she never really would.
