Bratz- Love's Unexpected Results

Chapter 2

Survivor Challenge part 1

I awoke the next morning and slowly sat up. I was in a sleeping bag of some sorts. I looked around, I was in someone's house. In sleeping bags nearby were Cloe, Jade, Yasmin and Sasha. They boys must of gone home because of the time. I pulled out my watch and looked at the time, it was 4:00am. Why wasn't I sleepy? I crawled out of my sleeping bag and walked to the kitchen to get a snack. I ate some cereal then walked into the lounge room which was where everyone else was, fast asleep. I then heard some noises.

I froze, thinking I'd woken one of the girls up. But the sound continued but was coming from upstairs. It sounded like people were talking, and they sounded male. My eyes widened and my breath stopped short. I slowly crept up the stairs making sure I didn't make too much noise, and grabbed a pillow from the wall. Why it was there, I have no clue. I silently peered around the corner and sighed just a tiny bit too loud. It was just the boys, Cameron, Dylan and Eitan, sitting in a circle, talking. About what, again I have no clue. And why were they up so early? However they heard my sigh of relief and turned to look at the door. I gasped and hid out of sight. I then turned and silently ran down the stairs. When I was at the final step, I slipped and fell to my knees. I quickly jumped up and hid alongside the stairs as they peered out the door.

I have no idea why I was hiding, these guys were my friends. I guess I was just worried at their reactions. I slipped into the kitchen and hid underneath the main table as they went down the stairs into the lounge room. Suddenly Eitan noticed one sleeping bag was empty.

"Hey guys! Abby's sleeping bag is empty!" he said to the other boys. Cameron and Dylan's faces went to complete shock.

"You don't think she heard what you said, huh Cameron?" asked Dylan. Cameron was still in shock.

"You don't think maybe her uncle escaped and found her, do you?" asked Cameron in complete shock. I scurried out from underneath the table as Cameron's sentence woke everyone else up.

"yo, why'd you wake us up Cameron?" asked Sasha. The boys then pointed to my sleeping bag. The girls then gasped, wondering what had happened to me. I then opened the fridge, which they heard. They all rushed into the kitchen and saw me looking through the fridge. I turned to look at them, smiling.

"Can I interest you in a early morning snack?" I asked them, pretending nothing had happened.

Sasha, Jade, Yasmin, Cameron, Dylan and Eitan sighed in relief while Cloe said, "Oh Abby, we were afraid your uncle had escaped from prison, found you, kidnapped you, beat you up badly then you would have been crippling there with broken bones and they would of healed wrong and you'd have a hunch back for the rest of your life or died right there and then, and, and…"

"Chill Cloe! I'm okay, I've been here the entire time. It's okay, you were worried but I'm fine, so calm down." I said to shut her up.

"Yeah, chill drama mama!" said Sasha.

"sorry, just I was worried." said Cloe. I shut the fridge door and walked to Cloe. I smiled at her and gave her a hug.

"thanks for being worried Cloe." I said to her.

"Actually, now that you're a member of the Bratz, you can call us by our nicknames. Mine's Bunny Boo, Yasmin's is Pretty Princess, Cloe's is Angel and Jade's is Cool Cat!" said Sasha.

"I know, we should come up with one for Abby!" said Cool Cat.

"I know the perfect one!" said Pretty Princess. I pulled away from Angel and turned to look at Pretty Princess.

"Do tell!!" said Angel

"How about Rose! It's Abby's favourite flower and it's exactly like Abby. She's sweet and beautiful like the rose, yet if you get on her wrong side, she'll stab you like the thorns. It's perfect for her!!" said Yasmin. I gasped and clapped my hands together at the nickname.

"Scorchin!" said Sasha.

"Styling!" said Angel.

"Rockin!" said Jade.

"It's perfect!!" I said.

"Awesome nickname Abby!" said Cameron. I smiled at him. He smiled shyly. I then checked my clock to see it was now 5:00am. I turned and headed out of the kitchen and exited the house. Everyone followed me to see what I was doing.

I checked my clock, which also had a built in compass. I made sure I was facing the east. I checked to make sure my friends were facing east as well. I also made sure there were no trees or boulders in the way. Suddenly an orange-yellow glow started rising over the ground. The dark sky was covered in tinges of orange, pink and yellow, with even some touches of purple. I heard gasps behind me and smiled to myself. I sighed as I breathed in the morning air and sat down, watching the beautiful sunrise I watched every morning.

"I remember every time I visited you, every morning we watched the sunrise and we watched every sunset together as well. You loved watching the sun, it was your favourite past time." said Yasmin. I nodded.

After the sunrise I stood and dusted myself off. I turned to see everyone still mesmerised by the sunrise. I started giggling. Suddenly Yasmin's mobile started ringing. She answered it.

"uh huh. Got it! Yep, we'll be happy to do that!" she said to the phone, then said bye and hung up.

"Guys, that was Byron, he asked me if we wanted to join the survivor contest. I said we would!" she said to us. I smiled and walked over to her. I turned to look at everyone else.

"You did what?!" asked Angel.

"Come on! It'll be fun!!" said Yasmin.

"Yeah, and we could base our next issue of Bratz magazine on how to survive in the wilderness. Come on, some times you've gotta think about others and the magazine instead of yourselves. If you don't want to, I guess Yaz and I'll have to go and do it ourselves. And do the entire magazine too." I said to them.

The girls looked down, kind of ashamed of their behaviour. The boys smiled and walked over to us. They turned to look at the girls.

"Rose is right, if you guys are so selfish to not join in a wilderness activity with us, then you can stay here and wallow in self pity while we publish the next magazine ourselves." said Cameron. I smiled at him, he smiled back.

"Don't trouble yourself, I'll go." said Angel.

"Don't leave me behind!" said Jade.

"Hey, I'm coming too!" said Sasha.

We were in our car, on our way to the wilderness. I couldn't believe we were going to do a survivor tournament in the wild! Of all places!

Once we got to our hotel, we signed in and got our bags unpacked. The boys were in the other room. I walked to the window and looked out at the view. I sighed in peace, then walked down to the main room. I saw a huge pile of pink suitcases. I walked past it, disgusted at the colour. I then walked over to the work out room. I hid behind the wall and saw Cameron, using one of the weights. My mouth nearly hit the floor in awe at the size of the weight he was tackling to lift. His leg then suddenly dangled over the edge. I giggled a bit and had to simply get that picture so the girls could see. I pulled out my camera and took a photo, there was a flash of light. I hid behind the wall.

"Oh no! I forgot to turn the flash off!" I hissed at myself.

"Hey! Who's there?!" yelled Cameron. Suddenly I heard a bang and a huge breath. I turned my head to see the weight had fallen on Cameron and he was trapped to the board. I giggled and walked around the corner.

I gasped and rushed to him asking, "Oh my gosh, Cameron! Are you okay?!" I then grabbed the weight and pulled it off him with hardly any effort at all. Cameron looked at me with complete astonishment.

"Did you see anyone with a camera? If that was Cloe I'm going to kill her!!" he asked me. I walked a bit away from him, and pulled out the photo.

"You mean someone who took a photo of you lifting weights, that wouldn't be this photo would it?" I asked showing him the photo.

"Yes, that photo!! Give it!!" he yelled trying to get the photo away from me. I pulled it out of his reach and ran out of the room.

"Sorry, but I'm showing this to the girls!" I yelled back at him. I ran into the main room that had the pink suit cases.

I stopped and said, "Wait till the girls see!!" I started running again.

Cameron stopped at the door and yelled, "Get back here!! No fair taking pictures in the weight room!!"

I laughed and watched him chase after me till I tumbled into the pink suit cases. Cameron gasped.

I got myself together figuring out what had just happened when I looked up to see a boy, my age, with brown hair and gold coloured eyes with tan skin. I gasped, recognising him.

"James!!" I said. He turned to look at me.

"Abby, did you have a nice trip?" he asked me. My breathing increased and I started shaking slightly.

Cameron suddenly grabbed my arms and helped me up.

"Hey Abs, you okay? Hey, I didn't mean to…" he started saying when he noticed my shaking and me staring at James.

"uh, Abs, who's this?" he asked me. James answered for me.

"James Harrier, Abigail Monroe's ex-boyfriend. From a year ago. It's nice to see you again Abby." he said.

I snapped out of it.

"Yeah right, nice, nice?! This is anything but nice!! How did you find me?! What do you want with me?! Have you come along to humiliate me again?! Torment me again?! Abuseme again!!!" I snapped at him.

"Abby, Abby. You know as well as I do, that we were just having our natural couple fights that would make us closer after we got over them, but you freaked out and thought I was being abusive. I'm not abusive and you know that. If anything, you're the abusive one!" he said to me. I gasped and jumped back.

"That's not true!! I didn't do anything to hurt you, you were always the one fighting, the one starting the arguments, the fights, the everything!!" I snapped at him. Cameron looked ready to scratch this guy to pieces and keep me safe from him.

"uh, who's he?" asked James.

"The name's Cameron, and I'm Abby's friend. And I aim to keep her safe from you." Cameron hissed at James. I looked at Cameron, then to James, then back at Cameron.

James then bent down, picked up the photo, looked at it and said, "Shows your best side I think." he then showed the photo to us. Cameron snatched the photo from him. James then smiled at me, then walked off to go to his room.

"What a jerk!" said Cameron.

"Yeah!" I said, then I snatched the photo from him and said, "Can't keep the girls waiting!" Cameron looked confused then back to angry again.

"Hey, come back here!!" he yelled after me and started chasing me again.
