•YESTERDAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY OMG IM SO EXCITED!!•

Opening my eyes I groaned in annoyance at the bright light. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and sat up in bed. 'Wait. I'm not in a bed?' I thought as I looked around me. I gasped at the sight before me. I was on a sandy beach underneath a palm tree. I had a roof over me made of palm leaves and a blanket below me made out of some sort of animal skin. "Where am I?" I whispered lowly to myself as I stood up to walk around.

Standing I noticed two things. One, I was barefoot, two I was in an animal skin skirt and had a crop top out of palm leaves and some sort of strings holding it around my neck. "What?" I whispered in confusion. I was starting to freak out a bit, I mean I wake up on some island and someone has changed my clothes! Sighing I walk out from my little hit thing and began searching for someone. I'm not stupid. I didn't yell out for someone or make a lot of noise. Instead I walked quietly and quickly threw the wooded area.

"-left over there somewhere, but I'm sure he'll be back soon Skip." I paused as a deep voice was heard somewhere to my right. "Alrighty Hunter. I'll go wait back at camp." A smaller voice said. I could tell he was a young boy. Maybe 11 or 12. I wasn't about to just walk over there and say 'hi'. No I'm not an idiot. I will just stay right here and listen to see if there are any other voices. I thought while crawling my way inside a brush that sat beside a tree.

I knew I was well hidden, I couldn't see anything because of all the leaves so I knew they couldn't see me. Sighing quietly I listened to the boy -Hunter- whistle a tune I didn't know. Sitting very still -like I did back home when mom or dad was talking about me- I focused on making t breathing come out as slow and quiet as possible. "Listen. Do you thinks she's worth it? I mean she is the only lost girl. Like ever!" I heard a new voice say. "Peter says she can be of use. So yes I think she's worth it." Hunter replied.

His voice was distinctive. It had more of a raspy tone to it. Kind of like those chain smokers or old men, but it also help youthfulness to it. It was a strange mix but I liked it. It was comforting to me somehow. Like an older brothers voice to a younger sister. It was calming. I liked it. "Yeah. Peter is always right about these things." said the other voice. His voice was a bit lower then Hunters. He was probably 12-13 where as Hunter sounded 18-19.

Wait, Peter? My Peter? okay wait Payton. Your Peter. Since when? I honestly didn't know how I felt about Peter until that moment. My heart did a little flutter while my stomach did a flip, my palms got clammy, and my mouth became dry. I Payton Thomas was in fact. 100%. Completely and totally. Head over heels in love with Peter Pan. That scared me. It scared me so much that I gasped. With out realizing it I stood up, out of the shelter of the bush and into the eyes of Hunter and the others.
