So there I was sitting on the plane with the class to Japan for some academic reward thing, I was obseving my fellow classmates and thinking about just how plastic they all are. Accross the asile from me sat Brighitte, she is a little on the gothic side although she was hitting on every guy within talking distance.
Sitting next to her was Kolbi. Kolbi is a goody two shoes Christian girl, or at least has been since she cheated on her boyfriend who almost got her pregnant. Maybe there's not much difference than the two after all.
Diagnal fom me sat Marlee, shes probably the most artistic person I know, and I have always respected her for that, but she has always been so caught up in her drawings that she never bothered to know what was going on around her.
Next to Marlee sat Andrew, he's probably the most screwed up person I know, I couldn't help but to think about how funny its going to be watching him with out any of his drugs, he already seemed as if he was in withdrawal.
Sitting in front of them was Shane, he's really quiet, he reminds me of somebody from the mid-twentys, like Leanardo Decaprio in Titanic. I don't know much about him, just that he's really timid.
Sitting in front of me was James, he's everything a girl wants; smart, funny, caring and sensitive. I had a crush on him since the day I met him, he doesn't want to be with me though. The only down side to James is that hes extremely shallow, and only goes for the hot Christian girls. I guess Kolbi would be perfect for him then, but why he wont go out with her either, I have yet to find out.
Sitting next to James was Josh, he's a lot like James but not as shallow and not as Christian, hes more agnostic. When I first met Josh I thought he was really cool, we went to concerts together, hung out everyday, and just did everything with each other, that was until he got a girlfriend who was really jealous, and Josh and I just kinda drifted away.
Sitting behind me was Daniel, he's your average wanna be gangster, I'm just going to say that I have always hated his guts.
Next to me sat Joey, he's your average nerd who plays "dungeons and dragons" for a living. He annoys the crap out of me, although on the plane I found out that if I'm acting like Im doing work than he will kind of leave me alone, so throughout the entire plane ride I just wrote cheesy poems about how much I hate life.
Last but not least was me. I'm your typical punk like girl who could care less about anthing and everything. A lot of people are afraid of me which is why Im so surprised Joey had the guts to sit next to me. I'm fairly quiet for the most part, unless I have some sarcastic comment on how dumb most people are. There's not much to know about me, I guess.
Somewhere around 2:30 am I was woken up by Brighitte making a big commotion about the storm outside. Hearing her talk naturally made me feel nauseous, So I asked the flight attendent if she had some aspirin to calm the voices in my head. She looked at me like I was some weirdo but I don't really care. I had to sit through another hour of that chick cry and moan about the stupid storm so I finally had it and began to curse her out. She didnt take that too nicely some she punched me in my face, it didn't hurt but it sure did make me furious, so I puched her back, it wasn't long before a fight broke out, but eventually the flight attendent and teacher broke us up.
As I was sitting in my seat, thinking about how much I hated everybody, I whisphered under my breath.1
"God, I wish these people would do the world a favor and just disappear!"2
At that very moment the lights flickered, I couldnt help but feel that this wasnt natural, so I sunk into my seat and tightened my grip on the arm rests. In half a seconed later the planes started to shake like crazy. The piolet than spoke over the PA.3
"Ladies and gentalmen, we are now experianceing..."4
At that moment the power went out, I could feel my stomach drop to the floor. I checked my watch, which said about 3:45. I just played with it to help calm myself down. Than in the next moment I could feel my blood rush to my head as the plane started to decline rapidly, it felt as if my stomach had been ripped out than put into a blender.
When the air masks came down I was too paralyzed with fear to put mine on, the fall lasted a lifetime, so all I thought about was what would happen If I died. Would I be missed, would people even notice, how long would it be before they know we're missing. Than I though about what I mumbled right before everything went wrong.Did I do something to make this happen? Maybe God thought it was a prayer or something and finally answered it. No if God was going to listen to me whine, he would have done it a long time ago. I than said as loud as I could, which wasn't that loud considering the screams of everybody else, plus the sound of a plane falling to our death. I yelled out,5
"Please, I dont want to die right now."6
Than in an instant later I heard the bottom of the plane being hit by trees I think. Than my vision blurred and I saw some type of light. As much as I tried to keep my eyes open they atomatically closed.7

I was woken up by Shane shaking me like a rag doll. I screamed,10
"STOP! I have the worst freakin headache."11
Shane smiled and hollared,12
"hey everybody shes alive."13
I sat up to look at the disappointed look on everybody's face, seeing that most of them had that look, I merely chuckled and got up. I tried to seem somewhat sympathetic as I asked,14
"Is everybody ok?"15
Andrew answered back,16
"Th-the piolet, the teacher, and the attendent lady are de-dead"17
I could tell that the only reason he was sad was because he wanted to get high. I than walked over to the cock pit to examine the piolets mangled body.18
"So.... Is anybody gonna bury them?"19
Everybody stepped back after I said this. James than said,20
"well why don't you do it if you want them buried so bad?"21
"Ugh, fine you %$@$% pansey!"22
So I did the deed, and all ten of us were at their funeral. Josh at least helped me a little bit, he made headstones out of sticks and vines. Than after the funeral Marlee and Kolbi made a fire which we all sat around to talk about what we're going to do. They decided to put me in charge of wrtting everything down everyday, they said it was because I write alot anyway, but Im pretty sure it was because they all hate me.23
Day one:24
Today is the day I get to start my journal. Right now I'm gonna guess its around six o'clock pm. Everybody started to build their own shelter, mine is a little more in land than everybody elses, they all wanted to be on the beach for some odd reason. My shelter is pretty nice looking, kinda small but thats just perfect for me. I didnt pack much but of what I did pack is nice and organized around the inside of my hut. My hut is standing right in between two trees, the four walls are made from some sort of reed I found and sun dried mud. I used many palm tree leaves for my roof and at this moment I beleive its pretty steady. I combined some of the seats on the plane to make myself a bed. After I was satisfied with my housing, I went down to the beach to sit by the fire. Brighitte came up to me and sat next to me.25
"hey I'm sorry about what happened on the plane."26
I was taken aback so I thought to myself for a bit and finally said,27
"Yeah, you were kinda female dogish"28
She chuckled a little bit and said,29
"you know I'm just trying to be nice here."30
I got up and started back toward my hut.31
"I think im gonna hit the hay now, good night."32
"night"33
All that night I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking about what my family was doing. I finally got restless to the point where I needed to take a walk. Lucky for me it was a full moon tonight so I could see as if it were daylight. I went to a cliff and watched the blackness of the ocean crash agaisnt the rocks below, hearing this made everything seem so peaceful. For the first time in my life I felt as if I were acctually worth something. Pondering about this I drifted into sleep.34
Day two:35
I was woken up early in the morning by a slight drizzle. As I walked back to my hut I noticed how clear the sky was, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. When I got to my hut I sat on the plane chair and drifted back to sleep.
Later Andrew came knocking on my door,36
"What do you want!?"37
"To know if you want food, I caught some fish and some crab. Daniel got some coconuts and we're about to eat."38
"I'm not hungry!"39
"Do you at least wanna hang out?"40
"NO! now go away!"41
Later I decided to at least observe them.
Brighitte was on the beach in her bikini tanning herself, Kolbi was reading her Bible under a palm tree, Andrew was experimenting with herbs, Shane was walking along the beach collecting shells, James was listening to his ipod with Josh, Daniel was trying to make a surf board or something, Joey was trying to convince Andrew not to get high, but was failing miserbly, and I was observing them and writing more crap that doesnt matter down.
A few hours of watching them waste time away Joey started to make a sun dial, so we can know what time it is. Around six I bagan to make a fire, Shane had caught some more crab and fish and began to make dinner which I didnt feel like joining, instead I grabbed a flashlight from the plane and went back to my hut with some fish, I took one bite from the fish and spat it out.42
"I'm sick of seafood." I mumbled.43
I than curled up in one of my seats and began to ponder about what my family may be doing at this moment. Do they know I'm missing? or would they even care if I was?
I laid there for what seemed like hours, and decided to take a walk. I grabbed they flashlight and headed toward the beach. I looked out to the ememse blanket of blackness covering the horizon.
As I was letting the tide gently coress my feet, I heard someone crying. I walked across the bank to see who it was.
Sitting behind some boudlers was Brighette crying like a five year old who had just recently lost their mother.
The only reason this was surprising was because, I've never seen her cry before, not when her first boyfriend cheated on her or ever when she broke her arm.
I always hated her not only because she goes out with any and every guy, but also because she always seemed too happy, but now that she was finally crying over something, I felt bad for her, I thought to myself, I should have been nicer to her, I never knew what she went through or why she did the things we did.
I slipped down beside her and put my arm over her shoulders.44
"Brighitte it will be ok, somebody will find us someday, we just have to make the best of this and eventually we will be saved."45
"I know."46
We sat there a while, than evantually got up and went back to our huts.47
