The Unknown
Island
Chapter One
"Bye Mom" I said, hugging her. I made this decision by myself and she hadn't exactly agreed with me. I had to get away from my stepfather. I couldn't stand him. That's why I decided to leave Washington D.C. and live with my grandmother in Australia. Also, I was hoping on meeting some nice Australian men.
"Bailey, remember the rules," she said sternly. Here we go again. "No talking to strangers, no drugs, no alcohol. Just be careful, okay?" she looked at me expectantly, and I nodded, letting go of her hands.
I waved to my stepfather, without making eye contact, and he scowled at me as he placed his arm around my mother and kissed her. I have no idea why he hates me so much, but I know that he wouldn't lay a finger on her.
I boarded the plane and made myself comfortable at a window seat. I placed my bag on the seat next to me so that I could rest without being disturbed by a neighbor. Unfortunately, the plane filled up pretty quickly so I was out of luck. A young guy walked up the aisle and stopped when he noticed the empty seat.
"Would you mind if I sat here?" he asked pleasantly. This guy was hot. He had dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, and tan skin. I also noticed some abs stretching at his gray shirt. I guessed he was a couple inches over six feet.
"I really don't have a choice, huh?" I said jokingly, gesturing to all of the full seats. He smiled and sat down as I moved my bag. "I'm Bailey." I told him, holding out my hand. He shook it gently.
"Lucas Mitchell," he said grinning. "Hey any idea what time it is?" Lucas said, as he rummaged around his pocket for a phone. I quickly pulled mine out and slid it open.
"Uh yeah it's almost 8." I was planning on going asleep as soon as possible, but his good looks were keeping me up. I couldn't stop glancing at him. I told Lucas where I was going and he explained that he was moving to Sydney, Australia for college. I silently swore. He was a year older than me. Figures. Then we talked about our lives back home. Turns out he lived just a few towns away from me. The way I saw it, we were practically childhood friends.
"Well, I'm going to sleep." I told him. He said goodnight, then turned to rest his head too. I leaned against the window and fell asleep.
When I woke up early in the morning, I'm positive I saw him staring right at me.
