Glittering sunlight spread on the ocean, crashing crystal clear waves, whistling of birds, and between all of this a tiny boat surfing in the sea all alone.
Kyle slowly opened his eyes, he saw the sun shining bright on his face.
Just after he realized that the place he was in, was unfamiliar.
He screamed, "WHERE THE HELL AM I?"
Clara who was sleeping beside him moved a bit but was too sleepy to wake up.
"Cl-Clara?" he said while gently tapping on her head with his finger.
She slowly opened her eyes,
"WHO ARE YOU? " she screamed
Without a pause, she continued,
"KYLE?! What are you doing in my-
"Wait, WHERE ARE WE??"
"I think in an ocean? All alone?! " He said while looking here and there puzzled.
"Wait! Didn't our ship sink last night, Didn't the captain rescue us? Weren't we on a boat? " he continued
"And we are on the same boat right now, just the difference is others are missing"
"Or maybe we are? " Clara continued with fear in her voice.
Clara had her eyes filled with tears.
Looking at them Kyle said,
"D-Don't You W-worry, I'll try to call my friends"
"No" she whispered.
"NO"
"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, WE CAN'T CALL ANYONE, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN KYLE! "
"Let's try at least?", said Kyle
Clara was weeping, Kyle called one of his friends but failed.
Clara started to cry even harder.
"Stop! Do you think we'll be saved if we cry?" Kyle said with a raised voice.
"I don't wanna die", Clara said in a weak voice.
" You won't die, trust me"
"Are all of these bags yours?" Kyle questioned.
"No, only the black one is mine. Others are of my friends"
"Can you unzip them?" He asked.
Without saying anything she started to unzip them.
"We will try to find food in them that's what we need most in the current situation.
We can also catch fish maybe?" said Kyle.
"But I am vegan, I can't eat fish"
"Oh no!" exclaimed Kyle.
"It's ok, I will have to eat fish when our food stock is over, surviving is better than dying vegan I guess," she said with a sad face.
"I won't eat anything from our stock, that's how you can get more of it," said Kyle.
"How are you gonna survive without food?" she asked.
"Well, I am not vegan I can catch fish", he said while taking out his fishing rod.
"Can I help you?" she asked politely.
"Well I don't have another rod, it's ok", he asserted.
Clara didn't say anything.
She suddenly remembered Casey's sharp words.
She kept thinking about her and tried to recall if she had done anything wrong for which she needed to apologize.
"You look worried, don't worry we will get out of this", said Kyle.
"Umm yeah", she said with a little smile.
