Here's the tiếp theo chapter! Enjoy!
I woke up the tiếp theo morning to a beautiful sky. I smiled, still half asleep, and rubbed my eyes. I stretched, heard my back crack, and then went to change. I got my backpack and pulled out a pair of black jeans, black studded belt, a white tee-shirt, black leather jacket, and black combat boots. I walked into the bathroom that wasn't the confessionals, and changed. I walked out with my pajamas draped over my right arm, only to run into Alejandro.
"Oh!" I exclaimed.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"No, it's my fault,"
"I wasn't looking."
"No, I should have been thêm carefu-" I was cut off bởi him putting a hand over my mouth.
"Allow me." He đã đưa ý kiến with a smile. Allow him to what? I thought. "This was my fault Gwen. I am very sorry." He đã đưa ý kiến while he took his hand off my mouth.
"It's fine." I laughed.
"Thank bạn for being so understanding." He đã đưa ý kiến to me. He smiled at me, and then walked into the bathroom. I walked back into first class and put my pajamas back into my backpack, took out my iPod and stuffed it into my pocket, then walked over to Duncan. I sat in my sear across from him. He smiled at me.
"Morning sunshine." He đã đưa ý kiến to me.
"Morning juvie." I đã đưa ý kiến back.
"Brace for landing! We've arrived at our tiếp theo destination: The Amazon!" Chris đã đưa ý kiến over the PA system. "But the runway's a little short." He said. I clicked my seatbelt closed. I knew not to say anything about luck. Whenever a team predicts good luck, they always get bad. Everyone knows that. The tiếp theo thing I knew, I was being tossed around as the plane landed. Chef was a horrible pilot. Then we stopped shaking. I got up and we all walked out into the đàn bà gan dạ, amazon jungle. Chris was standing at the entry to a forest. Oh God. This doesn't look good.
"Welcome to Peru! Birthplace of the mighty đàn bà gan dạ, amazon river." He đã đưa ý kiến while smiling that smile that made me just want to cú đấm him some times. "This challenge is called the Am-AH-aon race!" he said. "Teams must hike along an ancient Inca trail, through the Peruvian jungle, all the way to Machu Pichu. Hidden among the ruins of Machu Pichu, a golden treasure awaits discovery." He said. "Find the treasure to win first class tickets to our tiếp theo destination. Last team to arrive at Machu Pichu will have to send someone out the elimination door. And be warned. The jungle contains many vicious insects." He said. Cody raised his hand and waved it around. Chris rolled his eyes. "Yes Cody, the legal department made me well aware of your deathly allergies and insisted we supply and epipen." He đã đưa ý kiến while he held up the small thing. Cody ran towards him and tried to grab it. "Wouldn't make sense to give it to the person who has the allergies. What if bạn need an injection when you're unconscious?" he asked. Sierra started going crazy asking Chris to let her carry the epipen. But he wouldn't let her.
I was whispering with Duncan, when Cody ran over to me. He went down on his knees and looked at me with pleading eyes. Okay, he looked cute. I'll give him that. No one is allowed to hold that against me later in life! I sighed.
"I'll take it." I sighed. Then Sierra went into a fit and started listing all the things that Cody's allergic to. Chris threw me the epipen, and I caught it. I slid it into my pocket and then we were off. But not before Chris warned us about the Zing Zings. And he wished us "a lack of death". How nice of him.
We were walking through the forest when we came to our first fork in the road. I looked from back and forth from the two paths. I bit my right index finger nail. Until Duncan pulled my hand from my mouth.
"Dude, stop biting your nails." He said, still holding onto my arm.
"Left." I said. No one protested. We just walked. Duncan let go of my arm and stayed back with Cody and Sierra while I was forced to walk with Heather and Courtney. I noticed a crow's nest in the distance. Then Cody ran over to me.
"Hey, thanks for taking my epipen." He said. "You know how to use it, right?"
"Not a clue." I said, not even looking at him.
"I get bit, bạn mứt the needle into my naked butt cheek." He said. Oh HELL no! I pulled the needle out of my pocket and threw it at him.
"Good luck with that." I told him before walking over to Duncan. "I am not carrying that thing." I đã đưa ý kiến to him.
"What do bạn mean babe?" he asked.
"I'm not carrying Cody's epipen." I clarified.
"Ah." He said. Then we came to a ladder. Duncan and I were the last to climb up. Courtney, Heather, Sierra, and Cody all managed to ride along on the t-bar. Duncan looked stumped. I rolled my eyes and started to undo my belt. He looked at me and blushed slightly. "What are bạn doing?" he asked, staring at my hands undoing the latch. But probably at my crotch. I'm just guessing.
"Just shut up and hold onto me." I đã đưa ý kiến while I pulled my thắt lưng, vành đai off and threw one side over the line. I wrapped the ends once around my hands, and Duncan held on tightly to my waist. "On three, we jump." I đã đưa ý kiến to him. He nodded. "Ready? One, two, three!" I đã đưa ý kiến while I pushed myself off the deck. Duncan did the same. "Ariba!" I shouted while we rode down. What? I couldn't help myself. I rolled the r off my tongue. Taking Spanish for five years then taking French for another five, and Latin for one, let's bạn roll r's easily.
"You're crazy!" Duncan shouted.
"But that's why bạn tình yêu me." I đã đưa ý kiến quietly to him. He stayed quiet after that. I smiled. That's means he has nothing to say in return. When we landed, the others were already walking. As Duncan and I walked to catch up, I put my thắt lưng, vành đai back on. When we caught up with them, someone started talking on the walkie-talkie.
"Chris! We're caught bởi the Zing Zings!" I heard Alejandro say. I rolled my eyes. Karma. Oh man I tình yêu it so much. I ignored the rest of the conversation.
When the sun was setting, we ran into Chris. bởi this time, we were all starving. I had may hands crossed over my stomach because I was now in pain, I was so hungary. I heard Duncan's stomach rumble beside me. Courtney asked Chris if he had food, and a thùng of bananas fell from a tree. Yes! I thought with a huge smile. Courtney took over making a ngọn lửa, chữa cháy because she was a "CIT". That again? Really? I just ignored it and leaned against a cây while taking a bite out of my first bit of thực phẩm in 12 hours. Any nourishment was great bởi now. Duncan sat tiếp theo to me while he peeled his first one. He took a bite, rolling his eyes back in his head at the taste.
"Duncan happy?" I asked him.
"Duncan ecstatic." He replied. The sun had set, and Courtney had finished lighting the fire. I heard a stick crack in the woods behind me. I turned my head and saw someone walking towards our campsite. I scratched at my knee, only to have my nerves eased bởi seeing a wrecked Alejandro crawling towards us. He was fucked. Up. Heather walked over to him and whispered with him for a minute. Then he stood up and sat on my other side.
"Alejandro is staying with us for the night." Heather said. Courtney cast her a questioning glare. "It's too late for him to go anywhere else." Heather said. She pulled Courtney to the side and whispered something to her. Courtney smiled and walked back to the fire. Alejandro reached for a banana. Duncan glared at the Spaniard. I don't understand why the two of them had so much tension between them.
"What happened with the Zing Zings?" I asked Alejandro to ease the tension.
"They caught us. I managed to escape and find help." He said.
"I hope they get rescued." I đã đưa ý kiến to him before I took another bite of my banana. Duncan still glared at Alejandro.
At around 4:47 AM, I was keeping watch while everyone else slept. Duncan had his head in my lap while my fingers ran though his mohawk. I twirled the green hair around my fingers. My eyelids felt heavy. I closed them for a moment, then yanked my head back up, my eyes wide open. I tossed another stick into the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy to keep me warm. I had to stay up for another hour. But I was too tired. I rubbed my eye with my free hand. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Alejandro. He sat tiếp theo to me and smiled. This was when I noticed that he had an eyepatch on his right eye.
"What happened to you?" I asked.
"Owen punched me this morning." He đã đưa ý kiến to me with a small laugh.
"Aw, Pirate Pablo got punched bởi a 200 pound bag of joy." I said. Alejandro laughed.
"I don't know how to respond to that." He đã đưa ý kiến to me.
"Neither do I." I said.
"Gwen, are bạn sure that bạn and Duncan aren't in a relationship?" he asked me. Shit! I thought. Does he know? Okay. Stay as close to the truth as possible.
"We're just close friends." I said. Sort of true.
"Are bạn sure?" he asked once more.
"Yes." I said. I yawned. Alejandro put a hand on my shoulder. Then I noticed Duncan moving slightly. He opened his eyes and glared at Alejandro.
"Don't touch her." He growled to him while he sat up. He looked at me. "Get some sleep. I'll take your shift." He said. I nodded and laid my head on his lap. I felt him drape his arm over my stomach.
"Don't kill each other." I whispered before I fell asleep.
The tiếp theo morning, I was woken up to the scenery moving around me. I looked down, seeing Duncan under me, carrying me on his back. I looked around, noticing that it was just the team and me. No Alejandro. Then I noticed we were walking up steps. Then I saw a ruined city. Machu Pichu. I jumped off Duncan's back and we saw Chris. He told us to start searching for the golden treasure. I remember doing a báo cáo on Peru in 6th grade. My area being Machu Pichu specifically. I ran to the eastern area of the ruined city. I tore through rocks searching for a hint of gold. I knew that it was somewhere around here. Then I noticed a glint of vàng in the rocks. I tore it out. I smiled and ran back to Chris.
"Chris! Chris! I got the treasure!" I shouted. I handed the treasure to Chris. He examined the piece of vàng he held in his hands, then smile approvingly.
"Team đàn bà gan dạ, amazon wins!" he shouted. Then my team ran back. Heather and Courtney were both panting heavily. Duncan hugged me.
"Yes!" he cheered. Then he let got of me. Then Team Victory ran up. And Team CRRRRH was not where to be found.
Later that night, I was in first class. I took a sip of my Dr. Pepper and then something dawned upon me. I choked on my soda. Duncan ran over to me and pounded my back. Then I coughed, spiting my soda out and onto Courtney. Anyways, back to my realization. I just realized Duncan and Alejandro are my only two Những người bạn left on the show! Bridgette was voted off in the Yukon, and LeShawna was voted off in Sweden. No one left. And since Courtney tries to kill me every time Duncan shows affection towards me, and Alejandro is on the other team, I don't really have anyone. I saw Team CRRRRH walking back from the elimination room. Everyone but Owen. There goes another one who sort of liked me.
"Again tonight?" Duncan whispered to me. I sighed.
"Not tonight." I whispered back. Duncan gave me his cún yêu, con chó con dog face. I laughed. "It doesn't work on me." I laughed. It's true. Before I got my lizards, I had a dog who was the master of the cún yêu, con chó con dog face. He would get everything he got from my mom bởi just looking at her.
"Aw." Duncan whined while he slumped into the ghế, chỗ ngồi tiếp theo to me.
"I'm sorry." I đã đưa ý kiến to him. And I really was.
