1 STRANDED

I felt the cool breeze brush through my hair as watched the waves go back and forth and the fish swimming was delightful! Breathing in this fresh air was a great refresher. I saw a guy walking around in swimming trunks, he had an eight pack. I blushed hard. “Hey what do you think of the scenery?” He said. He had blonde curls that shone bright in the sun and emerald eyes that looked too real. “It’s great!” I replied enthusiastically. “Hah” he chuckled. His smile looked beautiful. He looked dreamily at the sky as he chuckled. I couldn’t hold back my smile. But quickly composed my self as he looked back.

I ran out of things to say. Then an idea struck me “ You haven’t seen the best part yet!” I said as I smiled. My break was almost over . Night rolled in to quickly I never wanted this moment to end. He waved and said “Adios!” As he walked away his blonde hair swaying in the evening sky. I almost had a heart attack my smile was too hard to hold in and my blush got into a tomato red all over my face. “Mackenzie get over here your breaks over!!” James the lifegaurd yelled. I quickly took off my jacket and tied it around my waist. “Coming!” I yelled. I ran to the pool gasping for breath. “Your late!” James said angrily. His brown hair was dripping wet and his red trunks dripped. When I fist came here I was enchanted by his body but I soon got over it by how bad his attitude was. “I know, but you can’t blame me the night sky is too pretty to take my eyes off.” I replied in an out of breath tone but sweet voice. He sighed. “Fine, But don’t be late next time.” He said with his ears a little bit red. Hah I laughed inside he acts all cold when he’s very sweet. “ Don’t worry I won’t.” I said smiling but sweat dripping off my chin.

James left the pool and I placed my jacket in the life guard chair and walked to stand and blow my whistle in case anyone got hurt. My phone ringed it was James. “Don’t forget if you let anyone get hurt $100 will be deducted fromyour pay.” He texted. “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t let anyone get hurt!😁” Smiley face. This guy was a tsundra and I was loving his reactions. The boat swayed. “Huh?” I said aloud. We were headed for a large rock. My eyes went wide with terror. I ran to my cabin as fast as I could. I grabbed my bag already packed. Why was it already packed? Well I was planing on leaving this “cruise” sooner or later to peruse my dream of being a doctor. I ran into the hallway exhausted. The water was rushing in. It was already at my knees and worst of all I can’t swim. You’re probably wondering why I became a lifeguard, well I became one because we were low on staff and no one else would take the job so I became the Ginny pig for the manager. I waded through the water but I couldn’t go fast enough. The water was at my hips now. Then I noticed something there was something red in the water I saw a body laying face down in the water I got sick to my stomach. Then I saw another one and another a thought struck me “the Captain didn’t eat.” But I pushed that thought to the back of my mind no time to think of that now I thought. I hurried through the winding hallways, to the stairs and on my way I saw many, many bodies. I got to the stairs now the water was up to my chest and the hall ways were almost fully submerged underwater. I climbed my way to the the stairs and pulled my self out of the water shivering now. I rested for a couple of minutes then I heard a small cry for help coming from one of the hallways. A small kid was swimming through the debris covered water. I couldn’t see the kid but I could make out his figure he was wearing trunks with waves and sharks at the bottom. He come swimming toward the stairs and it was Joseph! “Joseph!” I called. He saw me and his eyes lit up “Mackenzie!” He cried. He went under the water and my fear rose but he came back up coughing and sputtering out the water. He quickly swimmer to the stairs and I hugged him tightly. A thought struck me are we Stranded?
