Ryder 

I'm sitting in between Olli and Nate "Are you trying to make it look like a do-rag?" I ask Ollie who just nods his head "Why is yours wrapped around your leg?" he asks unwrapping it I show a bullet wound that I took to save one of the boys."Holy shit I never noticed that." nodding my head 

"Yeah, a lot of people don't." wrapping it up again looking straight forward I see a boombox corset tape along with a sign saying 'Sophie's playlist' "I'm so confused right now do either of you have a clue?" Nate asked us we just shook our heads 

Kira goes up first putting the tape in and we hear Sophie's monk voice "Order a drive-through meal in a sexy voice." She said  we all began to laugh but Ollie, Nate and I completely lost it when she said daddy

As time goes on we're all sitting and laughing having a great time "Let's go, Ryder!" Ollie shouts "Yes you MILF!" Trent shouts "I told you not to call me that." shaking my head grabbed one of the tapes and put it in waiting for it to play "Do your best sexy salsa dance in 3, 2, 1" As the music plays I began dancing 

Luckily my mum put me in ballroom when I was younger "Go Ryder!" I hear and for the big finish I go in for a handstand shaking my ass before landing in the splits getting mixed reactions  from everyone making me smile "OH MY GOD!" "HOLY SHIT!" "FUCKING HELL!" Ollie runs over helping me up 

"I'm never doing that again," I said "W-Where did you learn that?" Tia asked, "When I was younger Mum put me in ballroom." giving her a thumbs up "If I wasn't straight I'd hook up with you." Savannah said making me laugh "I appreciate it Sav." smiling at her laying my head on Nate's shoulder as Zac went up for the second time 

As he waits for his challenge  what is said next surprises us 'Islanders who's ready for a bomb to go off?' "Well shiznit." i said making the boys look at me "What?" Zac looks at me as if I'm crazy "Mm-hmm. Please welcome Kale." my mouth drops as I watch a handsome young man covered in tattoos walks through the doors

"Like I know he's going to be a major threat to us boys but I genuinely hope he does go for Ryder. She needs someone to help pick up her confidence because if he does go for someone else I know Ryder will leave because we've talked about it and I see her as a sister/ mum and I just want her to be happy." Reece told them 

"When I saw Kale walk through the doors I was like he's very handsome and hopefully he'll choose me but there's a part of me that knows he'll go for someone else. So it's better not to get your hopes up." shrugging my shoulder before leaving the beach hut 


The crew behind the camera looked devastated because they'd been rooting for Ryder since day one to find someone and they hoped it was Kale "I hope he goes for her because I know for a fact she's going to pack her bags and leave." "Yeah, she's been shot down so many times she can only take so much and her confidence is at an all-time low right now."

Kale 

As I open the door there's only one girl I want to get to know and that's Ryder sure she's a single mum buts she's what I'm looking for she's independent and can think for herself and Ryder wont back down from a challenge.

"I need Jesus." I hear Ryder say making me laugh "Yo-Yo-Yo what's going on." not wanting to cringe at what I just said. As I go to greet everyone I make sure Ryder goes last "Hello there." she says "Hi nice to meet you I'm Kale." "Ryder as you know." giving me her cutesy smile as I pull back from the hug 

"So Kale where are you from?" Tia asked, "I'm originally from Perth but I've moved to the Gold Coast." keeping my eyes on Ryder "So we're just doing Sophie's playlist challenge if you want to join." Lucinda said "Absolutely, how's it going?" getting mixed responses while Ryder just gave a thumbs up

"Kale where you from?" Nikia asked I think that's her name if not whoops "I'm from Perth originally but I moved to the Gold Coast "How old are you?" Ryder asked "I'm 25." smiling at her "So what's your normal type?" Kirra asked 

"I don't know. I don't have a specific type, I usually end up with a blonde girl." out of the corner of my eye I noticed Ryder deflate and look down at the ground "But you never know perhaps I might change my tune," I said "Chin up Ry. He said he might change his tune." I hear Reece say and she just rolls her eyes and shakes her head 

"Guys like that never go for me so I'm not even gonna try." That right there broke my heart hearing her say that about herself "You have to." "Nah those girls right there are ten times prettier than me so it's not happening." she shrugged 

"To hear the way Ryder speaks about herself hurts she must have been hurt real bad in the past  for her to say that," Ollie says 

"I heard what she said to Reece but I'm here for her she's got everything I'm looking for She needs to have a rock someone to give her confidence and I need to be that guy for her. No I'm going to be that guy," I said with determination

I go up to the box waiting for the instructions "Kiss three islanders you find the most attractive." Sophie spoke I gave both Nikia and Kirra short kiss before i turn and walk towards Ryder grabbing her hand  pulling  her up to her feet  "Lucky number three." she smiled before pulling her in for a kiss a passionate one at that 

Pulling away from her i see blush rising up her cheeks before walking away from her "He kissed you Ry." Ollie said putting his arm around her "Was it nice?" Reece asked "It was but maybe he was do-" "No Ry no buts he kissed you sure Nikia and Kirra that was small but yours was long." Ollie brings her in for a hug 

As we all go our separate ways after the game i make my way towards Ryder but i'm stopped by Kirra "Hey Kale you wanna go for a chat?" she nodding my head not wanting to be rude "Sure where?" i ask "On the terrace?" nodding my head i'm going to need to talk to Ryder tomorrow.
