Stranded on Deserted Island

[Jodie]

The blinding light from the sun that leaked through the leaves on the trees took Annalyse from her deep sleep. Annalyse's vision was still foggy from her slumber, but it quickly returned to normal after a short period of time. "Good morning, Joe" she said in a lazy tone. Annalyse slowly stood up; she wasn't much of a morning person. "How'd ya sleep?" she asked, wiping her eyes and yawning.


Annalyse walked over to the water, looking down at her reflection in the water. She could sense her self starting to become a bit grungy. She definitely needed some sort of hygiene routine. "Joe, if you don't mind, I think I'm going to wash up," she said, signalling for him not to watch her. Annalyse knew that, if they were going to be on this island together for a long time, they were going to become comfortable around each other. However, for Annalyse, it was a bit too soon for her to be exposed in front of Joe after only a day of meeting him.

"I slept okay. We have some bananas left so feel free to have one." Joe replied. He hadn't even thought about bathing or hygiene. "Oh yeah of course. I'll just um wait in the shelter." Joe said and went inside the tent, giving Annalyse the privacy she needed. He smelled himself, he was starting to stink himself. "I'll shower later tonight." he thought to himself.


As Joe waited for Annalyse to finish his mind started to wander. Had the news of the plane crash come to light yet? Did his parents know? Was anyone looking for them? Did anyone else survive? Unfortunately time would only be able to answer these questions. He sighed doubting that anyone else survived. Some tears rolled down his face. Majority of his friends had been on the plane with him. This was the first moment he had to sit and process the loss of his friends.

Annalyse stripped herself down to her bare skin, preparing to get in the water. She hoped the clothes they had found at sea had dried over night. She slid into the water, the lack of heat chilling her skin. It was not the most luxury shower, but it was what Annalyse expected from being on a deserted island. She sunk her head under the water before quickly resurfacing to wipe the water from her face.


After washing herself the best she could without a real shower, Annalyse came out of the water and grabbed the red sweatshirt that they had found in the sea and her old pants. She put on the clothes before returning back to the shelter. Annalyse noticed the tears that rolled down his cheeks. "A-are you alright?"

Joe jumped, startled by Annalyse. He quickly thought of an excuse. "Yeah I just had an eyelash in my eye. It really hurt so I had to poke around and my eyes watered. I couldn't help it." Joe explained and wiped the tears away. He knew that lying was the wrong thing to do, but it was easier then expressing his feelings. "Anyways, what did you want to do today? We could explore the island or we could go back to the coast and look around there." Joe suggested.


He realized Annalyse was wearing the sweater. "Aren't you going to get hot in that?" Joe asked. So far it wasn't too hot, but it was going to get hot later on in the day. "I mean it looks great on you, but I just don't want you to over heat and get dehydrated." Joe explained.
