βMe? Nervous? Ha! Yeah, nah, Iβm good.β He sent her a beaming smile, βRight as rain.β Malakai inwardly cringed at how sarcastic he sounded. He went to lean forward to look out of the window on the other side of the helicopter, but paused when he noticed a guy with blonde hair sitting there. He couldnβt help but wonder how he hadnβt noticed the other Aussie until now. Malakai came to the realization that his fellow representatives probably didnβt want to be speaking to a stranger or just didnβt talk very much. βOr maybe theyβre too worried about being sent to some mysterious island for a stupid survival game, β he thought to himself. βWhere are you two fromββ he started to ask but was interrupted by the pilot telling them that they were landing.
Malakai didnβt realize how much he had missed being on land until he got out of the helicopter. Kai stretched his arms above his head in an attempt to crack his sore back as the three moved away from the helicopter. He glanced around observing the other people that had arrived before them. Malakai wasnβt sure what to think about the others, but he wondered if any of them had been crazy enough to have volunteered for this insane game. βWell, it looks like everyoneβs making friends already,β he turned to look at the two. βMaybe us Aussies should stick together. Better to have a team than be alone, eh? Oh right, Iβm Malakai by the way.β

Lucas was unusually exhausted today. He had hardly slept last night and got up earlier than usual to head into the forest to try to collect any herbs that he could find. Despite being tired, Lucas had enjoyed his walk through the forest. Over the past few months, the forest became his favorite place on the island. He has spent many hours there collecting herbs and occasionally he would find a nice place to sit and relax. Although it was hard to be relaxed in a place that was so unpredictable, heβs managed fine so far. The island hadnβt been anything like he was expecting when he first arrived, but he became attached to the island quickly.
As Lucas got closer to the cabin area, he heard the sound of sirens and Tokala shouting to the other mentors. Confused, he quickened his pace towards the cabins so he could find out what was happening. Lucas paused when he noticed the helicopters arriving and realized that this was what Tokala had been talking about a few days ago. βGroΓartig. Mehr Leute. (Great. More people.)β Lucasβ grip on the strap of his bag tightened in frustration. When Tokala had told him that he heard the survival game would be happening this year, he didnβt really believe him. He had brushed it off and chose to ignore it while keeping his focus on the task he was doing.
Lucas debated on going inside his home or if he should meet with the others at the landing area. He knew he could ignore the entire situation altogether, but he was a little curious about the group arriving. Thinking it over for a moment, he finally decided that he would go down with the others but he would keep his distance from the newcomers.
