Chapter 10 Island

• JESSICA
• I’ve been awake for a very long time, but I pretend not to be awake. For one thing, I’m beyond pissed at this impossible situation in which I find myself. For another, I don’t want to have to talk to Charles. He had saved my life, but then, it was because of him I found myself in this situation in the first place. Hopefully, help will come soon, and immediately it does, I’ll go home as soon as the opportunity presents itself and forget all about this unfortunate adventure.
• Finally, I’m tired of pretending to be unconscious, so I decide to give up the act. Still, it takes a while for Charles to notice that my eyes are open. When he notices, I see the surprise on his face and can tell that I startled him, something that amuses me to no end, but I carefully keep the amusement from my face.
