Cassandra and her friends were packing. They’re all excited for spring break 2 weeks on the beach, in the sun, no school. That’s  what they’ve been waiting for. It was 4am. Everyone was gathering their things getting ready to leave to the airport.

    “ Is everyone ready?” Cassandra yelled out as she was dragging her suitcase.
    “ I’m ready!’ Ron yelled back.
    “ Me too!” Gabriella chimed in.
    “ Same here,” Kate answered Cassandra as she rushed to brush her teeth.
    “ Coming now!” Drew shouted as he was running down the stairs.
Everyone arrived at the airport, went through security, and waited to get on the plane. They smelled that delicious pizza and wings they serve at the food court. They waited for a bit and finally get on the plane.
    “ This is about to be a long 7 hours,” she sighed.
    “ Yeah I know, but it’s so worth it.” replied Drew.
    “ I guess so..” as she dozed off.
Everyone wakes up in shock. Half the plane was gone, missing somewhere… It seems like the plane crashed after Cassandra and her group all fell asleep. It happened so fast no one knows what to do.
    “ What’s going on!” Kate cried out.
    “ Dude, what just happened?” Ron nervously asking as he’s looking around half the plane.
Before anyone can do anything, you can feel the plane moving downwards in a fast pace. All you can hear is screaming and crying, questions being asked quickly. All of a sudden, the plane crashes.
“ I can’t feel my body” Gabriella screamed.
“ Listen everybody stay calm please!” Kate kept yelling out.
People were hurt, some are dead. The plane crashed in deserted island. There were no signs of anyone, no roads, not even an animal.. just half a plane and several bodies. Now they have to figure out a way to survive and get off the island.
    Cassandra and her friends were looking around for things like wood, and food. Ron went on his own looking for a signal on his phone. But nobody realized Drew was gone.
    “ I found some wood by those dead flowers over there.” Kate tiredly showed Cassandra.
“ I couldn’t get a single bar, I don’t know what to do!” Ron looked depressed telling his friends about the phone.
It was hard. It’s only been 4 ½ hours since they left from Miami to LA. It didn’t go as planned. These were a couple college students getting ready for spring break, wanting to get drunk and have some fun with their friends on the beach.
“ What are we gonna do?” Moaned Gabriella. She was exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep. You can tell by the way she was talking.
“ Listen we’ll get out of here okay, just stay positive.” Cassandra calmly told explained to Gabriella.
There was only 2 other survivors, but they disappeared quickly from the scene. No one really noticed anything, they’re all still in shock of what happened. They wanted to get some rest, but they decided it was better to stay awake and see if anyone would rescue them.
Cassandra told the group it was better to split up and look around for anything helpful. Cassandra went with Kate, and Ron went with Gabriella. But they still haven’t realized that Drew was missing…
An hour passes by and they all gathered some wood to make a bonfire for the night, Ron caught a fish. They were all scared. No shelter, no signals, dead bodies around. It was frightening.
“ I just wanna go home.” Gabriella cried out.
“ We all do Gabriella, but it’s not gonna be that easy.” Ron explained angrily.
“ We shouldn’t have taken this flight, we shouldn’t have left today, why why why!” Gabriella started crying.
Kate walked over to Gabriella, gave her a hug and tried calming her down. 5 hours now gone by, it was starting to get dark out. The group started freaking out because they don’t know what to do. They’ve never been in this position, never planned it to happen either.
“ Listen we’ll be off this island very soon, someone is gonna come find us and help us, just stay calm..” Cassandra explained to Gabriella who was still crying.
It was dark now, everyone huddled up by the bonfire. They were still freezing. They seemed to lose hope, they think no one’s gonna rescue them. But they were in for a surprise.
“ What’s that shadow over there?” Kate exclaimed as she got up and started moving back.
It was Drew, starts walking right out, out of nowhere.
“ Drew! Where were you man?’ Ron screeched.
“ We didn’t notice you were gone!” Cassandra screamed out as she ran to give him a hug.
Drew wasn’t saying anything, he looked mad, very mad. He was just staring at his friends.
“ Drew you okay man?” Ron asked nervously.
“ You were all supposed to be dead.” Drew talked angrily, but had a smirk on his face.
No one said anything, all their eyes were just wide open..
