Deserted Island
What happens when Alyssa is desperately trying to survive on an island by herself??
ONE
A week ago everything would have been so different if I never agreed to go on a vacation with my family. I should have just stayed home like I was going to and I would have been much happier. I miss everyone because of this horrible decision. I am lonely, tired, hungry, and worst of all I have no idea what today's date is. So you are probably wondering where the hell I am. I am actually stranded on an island. Nobody is here with me. It is somewhere off the coast of Bermuda since that was where I was supposed to be staying until I told my parents I could take the water boat out on my own, got lost, and ended up here. I have no way of communicating with anyone. The boat I took here either sunk or floated away because I had nothing to tie it up with. I should be scared right? Well I am. All I want is for someone to find me. I want to go home and I can't even imagine what my family is going through right now. I must be on every news channel, in every newspaper, and probably even on Oprah or some show like that. I bet they have the best cops and FBI in the world searching for me. I hope they don't think I am dead or something. Oh this is terrible. I probably will die soon from lack of food and water and shelter and everything! By the way my name is Alyssa Field I am only sixteen years old. Yeah now you should feel scared for me. I keep thinking savages or wild animals live on this island and at night it is so scary because there is no light at all except the light coming from the moon but that doesn't even do much. I don't know how I managed to sleep the past three nights. Yes, I have been here for four days and there is still no sign of human life or any kind of life for that matter on this island.
Right now I am sitting on the sand. What else is there to do? I get my food from the little bit of coconuts growing on the trees and my water from the ocean of course but it is so gross I barely even drink it. There is a fountain in the forest but I am too afraid to go in there since I have no idea what could be in there. I am getting weaker and weaker each day. Maybe if I don't want to die my only choice is to face my fears and go into the forest on this island to search for more food and clean refreshing water that won't get me sick. Speaking of being sick, I have had a sore throat since I have been here due to lack of sleep and food and water and most importantly the weather and lack of medicine. I have no idea what I am going to do with myself. I tried screaming and giving signs off that I am here but it's like a dream you have when you scream but no sound comes out and therefore you feel like nobody can hear you. That is how I feel every time I try and call for help. My days are beginning to become numbered. I should have just gone with my gut and never have come on that vacation with my family to Bermuda because now I am over 500,000 miles from home and maybe even more.

Today it was raining for a long time but it cleared up and now it is very sunny. At least I am still in my bathing suit and I can catch a nice tan with no tan lines. It is so hot today. I need a drink of water so badly. So I decide to go into the forest since there may be some shade to keep me cool too. As I am walking I notice a lot of little animals. They aren't scary ones at all. I saw parrots, and different types of birds. I also saw some garden snakes and butterflies and a squirrel or two. So there is animal life on this island but that really doesn't help me that much. All of a sudden I heard a rustle of leaves. It sounded like footsteps walking. I am so scared to see what it is. Then I see what it is....it's a ...a ...person? Oh my gosh it can't be. It looks like a young boy. Probably around my age. I was so tempted to shout something at him but I was afraid he would get scared. So I made my way closer. Thank God someone is here though. As I approach him he sees me and is a little hesitant at first but then meets me.
"Hi I'm Logan" says the boy
"I'm Alyssa"
"Are you really real right now or am I dreaming because last time I checked there was no other humans on this island" he says
"Nope it's real life and then you didn't look hard enough. That's what I thought too but now I am so relieved oh my gosh" I say
"How old are you? How did you wind up here?" he asks
"So many questions..."
"Sorry...one at a time then" he says
"Sixteen. And I was supposed to be in Bermuda with my family on vacation but I decided to take a boat out on my own and wound up here because I got lost and didn't know how to get back" I say
"Hmm. That is some story. Mine is totally different. I am also sixteen however I didn't originally come here on vacation but it does have something to do with a boat. I was on a fishing trip with my community and they all fell asleep one night not too far away from this island actually. So I saw this island and decided to swim to it and so I did but when I was swimming back to the boat it wasn't there anymore and they left without me" he says
'What? Oh my gosh that's horrible. Wait didn't they try to look for you. I mean they didn't try this island?"
"They tried to look but never thought to look here. They are still looking as we speak" he says
"Oh well that's good I guess" I say
"Are you scared?" he asks me
"Yes...very. Are you?" I say
"A little bit. But don't worry because now together we can figure a way to get off this island" he says
"I'd like that a lot"
"I think I know what else you would like....some food. Come on follow me you look like you haven't eaten anything"
"Food! Oh I could really go for some of that stuff. I think I might have forgotten what it is" I say and he laughs
I follow him into this little tent thing he obviously set up himself. He had so much food. He had fruits and plants and fish and mangos and coconuts....and best of all canteens filled with the water from the forest fountain.
"Wow where did you find all of this?"
"I get bored out here" he says
"I can see"
"Come on eat. Help yourself"
"Thanks and nice little house you got here. Why didn't I do any of this" I say
"You could stay here with me. I think we have both been alone long enough" he says
"Yeah...if you don't mind then ok I will" I say
THREE
"So how about a round of 'tell me about yourself'" I say
"Okay um you go first then" he says
"Ok well I am from Minnesota and I grew up on a small farm that my family owned. They still own the farm but I am nowhere near being involved with it. Um, I go to school and I am a junior in high school. I am having the time of my life...well I been but you know um...oh I have an older brother and an older sister. I love them both however my sister can sometimes be a bitch and my brother is sometimes way over protective. And that is the life of Alyssa Field" I say
"Interesting...I am also from a small farm back in Wisconsin. My family owns it and I actually do have to work on it believe it or not lol. I have a little brother and an older brother. I am also a junior in high school and I am so popular. I hate to brag about that but I had to make the conversation interesting" he says
"Oh well good then we have something in common. I am popular too but I hate to brag about it though lol. So are you a playa then?" I ask
"I wouldn't call it that. Are you a slut then?"
"Ah no ...how dare you make that assumption Logan"
"Well we were along the lines of stereotypes so..." he says
"Yeah well I know country boys and they all aren't those nice caring never-cheat-on-my-girlfriend-kind-of-guys so much anymore"
"Some of them are" he says
"So you are then?" I ask
"No. lol I was just making a point I guess" he says
"Oh lol. So Logan, do we have a plan or something? How are you going to be the big hero on the island and save us" I say
'Don't worry I did put some thought into this Alyssa" he says
"Wow that was the first time you actually talked to me by using my name. I thought you might have forgotten it or something" I say sarcastically
"Ha-ha very funny...ALYSSA" he says
I smile at him and he smiles back. I kind of like this kid Logan. He is funny. Maybe we can get along on this island and find a way to get home.

The next morning I woke up under Logan's tent thing and I was lying next to him. I wonder if anything happened last night between us.
"Hey...are you up?" I say as I tap him
"Yeah I have been waiting for you to wake up"
"Sorry I slept so long. That was the first time I actually had a good sleep on this island. I needed that."
"How was that your first good sleep?"
"I guess I felt safe last night" I say and smile
"Um, did anything happen between us?" he asks
"I don't remember either lol. If something did then props to us right?"
"Hell yeah...you're a cool girl"
"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself" I say
"So what are you doing tonight?" he asks
"Shut up! You are so not funny right now" I say
"Lol. Well I wasn't trying to be. I was serious" he says and laughs
"You don't sound too serious" I say
"Seriously, do you want to hang out again?"
"Well who else is there to hang out with so yeah of course" I say
It is nighttime and we are having so much fun right now. During the day we went treasure hunting for fun and Logan actually really found this TV that was washed up. It still worked too. It is battery operated. So we are trying to get to a news channel. Oh finally.
"And still the two teens from two different small town farms are still missing. Logan Johnson and Alyssa Field were last seen seven days ago at around noon. If there is any information on these two kids please call the help hotline, the police, or this news channel" says the reporter on TV
"That's a good picture of you" says Logan
"That's all you have to say to that. They are so worried about us. I just wish someone can see or hear us and our help signs" I say
"Listen Alyssa, don't worry about anything okay. Someone is going to find us really soon but for now we have to do our part and survive out here and maybe have a little fun too" he says
"I need a hug" I say and look at him
"Come here I'll give you a hug" he says and hugs me
He is the best hugger ever lol.
"Let's start the fun now. Skinny dipping anyone?" I say
I run into the water but I don't take off my bathing suit. Logan comes in too and takes off his guinea tee. He has some nice abs.
"I thought we were going to skinny dip" he says
"How about we just dip" I say
He laughs and we swim and splash and have so much fun in the water even though it is nighttime and it is mad dark out. After we went in the water we sat under the tent and tried to fall asleep. Logan had his arm around me the whole time. He tried to make a move on me and I let him. We made out and spent the night together. It was so much fun.
FIVE
In the morning we woke up to the smell of the ocean.
"Hmm. Last night was fun Logan." I say and smile
"It was. I wonder if we can make something of this when we get back and everything" he says
"How far away are Wisconsin and Minnesota?" I ask
"There was something I forgot to tell you Lyss. My family is thinking about moving to Minnesota and buying a farm there." He says
"Are you serious? No way! That's awesome then maybe we can see each other a lot because I really like you Logan. You are such a nice guy and you are so cute and you really know how to take care of a girl" I say
He smiles and says "Hey...I do care about you. I was pretty much forced to since we are the only people here but it's funny how we are both the same age and everything. I don't think that's a coincidence at all. I like you a lot Alyssa"
"Good, good." I say and smile
"So what do you say we try to figure out a way to get off this island" he says
"Please, I want to"
So the next day Logan and I did everything we could to send signals for help and finally a plane saw us and made an emergency landing on the island. We finally went back to our hometowns
"Bye Logan, thank you so much for everything. I would have never survived without you kid" I say as I am saying goodbye to him
"Bye Alyssa, I am glad we met. I will see you in three weeks when we move to Minnesota ok" he says
We hug
I am so happy to be home
