Well... I started this fe months back.. after reading The Hunger Games and after being inspired by Suzanne Collins and my friend that's mom just died recently... anyway.. this is the first chapter.. I have made 4 full chapters, and Iam in the middle of Chapter 5... just some writers block I have. I uess I needf to start typing and paste the stupid horrible chapter.
Jordyn's mom said somthing to her, making her blush, but I was too caught up in her eyes to notice what her mom, Andrea, was saying.
My girlfirend of two years, Candice Mitchell, and I were at her best friend's house, Jordyn Whitaker's, getting ready to leave for the Florida Keys. Our destination for summer vacation of our freshman year of high school. We had been planing for months and it was finally here. A whole three weeks with the girl of my dreams. Jordyn. She had shiny, long, brown hair, blue eyes, and a good fashion sense. She was very smart too. She had a good personality and was always making me smile. Me on the other hand, had brown hair, green eyes, and a big nose. I was just Proce Andersan. A normal 15 year old boy. I didn't have any good features other than my abs, but rarely anyone ever say them other than me.
I might have a chance with Jordyn if I wasn't so chicken to break up with Candice. I don't really know why I ever asked her to be my girlfriend in the first place. She had tons of red freckles, with black hair that wasn't healthy looking.
My love for Jordyn was bottled up inside, with the bottle being spill proof, but I had to tell her sometime or another so I decided to tell her on the way up to the airport. That's when I would uncap the lid.

We were on our way to the airport. Candice, Jordyn, Andrea, and me. I was in the middle of the backseat of the sky blue Ford Taurus, with Candice on the left of me, holding my hand and looking out of the window. Jordyn was on the right of me and was slouched in her seat with her eyes closed. The stereo was all the way up, and I knew this is when I would tell Jordyn. I would whisper the three words into her ear. Just so she could hear. This is it. While Candice wasn't looking, I leaned over and whispered the three words in to her ear. "I love you."
She opened her eyes and sat correctly in her seat. She looked at me with a confused and happy face. I blushed. I knew my face was as red as a beet. I leaned over again and whispered, "I'll explain later."
She mouthed the words 'okay' and I grabbed her hand and tucked it under my thigh. Keeping it unseen to Andrea and Candice. She looked at me surprised but then she relaxed and she let it sink in.
We rode like that for the rest of the forty-five minute trip.
We had arrived and I didn't want to let go but Jordyn chimed in,
"Well, we're here."
"Yea," Candice and I said in unison.
I let go of her hand and noticed that mine was sweaty. I hope I hadn't grossed her out.
We got our luggage and walked into L.A.X.
Surprisingly, everything was a breeze. Before I knew it, all three of us were on the plane, the six hour journey to the tropical paradise. We flew in first class. That's just an idea of how wealthy Jordyn and her mom were. They are so wealthy that I didn't have to worry about any of the costs. Andrea was going to pay for absolutely EVERYTHING.
Within the first ten minutes, Andrea and Candice were snoring.
I created some small talk with Jordyn trying to get my courage up to explain to her the three words of "I love you' that I had just recently told her when my stomach rose. I tried to scream but I couldn't.
We... were falling.
The fall lasted barely five seconds. At the bottom of the fall was water. You couldn't tell it was water at first from the impact. The impact numbed by legs and made me light headed. As soon as we hit, windows shattered, and after 3 seconds of it, the plane begin to sink, and fast. Water rushed in.
Immediately, Jordyn got up and signaled me to follow her. I obeyed and she led me to an open hatch in the roof. I managed to somehow pull my self throught the three foot wide hatch and I barely was able to pull Jordyn up.
We were on top of the plane now, I was surprised that the plane wasn't submerged by now.
Jordyn pointed to an island that was behind us that was covered with trees and a huge beach. We jumped in, clothes and all, and swam toward the island.
My legs weren't numb now and I could feel how cold the water was. I didn't know how I kept swimming, let alone Jordyn, but we did.
We arrived at the island after 10 minutes of swimming nonstop and I could barely walk. I then remembered that we were supposed to be going on this vacation with two other people but there were no signs of Candice and Andrea.
I guess Jordyn was thinking about it to, since she sat down in the burning hot sand and cried in her hands. I sat down and comforted her while I was also fighting back tears. Partly from how hot the sand was on my tush and because of how much I already missed Candica and Andrea. I wondered where they were or what had happened. I didn't know and I didn't have to think about because just as I looked to my left I saw a plane passenger - dripping wet like Jordyn and I - charging us with a piece of broken glass.
I yanked Jordyn up, she tried to ask questions, but I began to drag her through the jungle.
