The Forgotten |DONE|

Mary kneeled by the water, looking at the shallow bit. Nothing would be there. She sighed, and took her shoes off, wading into the water. It was warm, but still cold. She waited quietly, then grasped a fish in her hands. She screamed at the feeling, then ran out of the water, dropping the fish.

DJ snorted, trying to hold in his laugh. He laughed and stopped himself. He then caught sight of another boy.

"What's so funny?" Daniel asked, and saw the girl, who was screaming. "Are you okay?" He asked and took a step closer to her.

DJ snorted again and was rewarded with another sharp punch in the arm from Sara.

Mary wiped her hands on her already wet pants and bit her lip. "Yeah, just, really.. grossed out." She sighed, biting her lip.She glanced back at DJ, blushing hard, hearing his laugh.

DJ closed his mouth and waved innocently. "How's it goin'?"

Daniel rolled his eyes. "Leave her alone," he said defensivly.

Mary crossed her arms across her chest, her cheeks burning. She looked down, and rubbed her arms carefully, then started walking. She didn't dare look back, not once.

"Wait up!" DJ said, and ran after Mary. He put his arm on her shoulder.

Daniel watched carefully, astonished at DJ's reaction.

Mary looked at DJ then walked faster, trying to get rid of him. "Just do me a favour. As long as we're here, I'd rather not be bothered by your laughter." She said, biting her lip, and heading towards the forest.

DJ ran after her and walked in front of her, blocking her way. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was just kidding. Do you forgive me?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Mary responded, pushing past him. She bit her lip even more, then sat on a small rock, pulling her knees to her chest.

"Come on," DJ sat down on the side of her, on a different rock. "I really am. I don't know what happened back there. I was being stupid."

"Okay, okay!" Mary replied, then stood up again. "I have to get along with everyone here anyways," She mutted, then started walking again, wishing he would leave her alone. She was irritated, cold, hungry, and no doubt grumpy.

"Where're you going now?" DJ asked, and started to follow her. He stopped in his tracks and shrugged. SHe seemed mad. If she wanted to be, then she could. As he walked back in the clearing, Daniel ran out, after Mary, no doubt.

Daniel watched Mary leave. "Wait up!" He yelled and ran after her. "What is your name?" He asked her curiously. "My name is Daniel."

"Mary-Anne, but I go by Mary," She replied quietly, glancing up at Daniel. He seemed nice, but she didn't want to seem grumpy. She sighed, and looked down.

"Mary," Daniel echoed. "What's wrong?" He asked and looked down at her.

"Hungry, cold, and sorta agitated. If you've noticed, we don't have much." Mary responded, stepping on something. She winced, remembering she didn't have her shoes with her. She sighed, and shrugged it off.

"I know where some food and water is," Daniel offered and beckoned for her to follow as he started to walk back to where he had found the papayas and other fruits.

Mary hurried after him, following at his side. She glanced at the fruit, then smiled at him. "Thank you," She murmered, then kneeled beside it carefully.

"And water," he said, disappearing into his cave. "I have this." He handed her a canteen full of water and smiled.

Slowly Mary accepted it, but held it in her hands. "You might need it later though," she replied softly, then reached out and took a piece of papaya and ate it.

Daniel shook his head. "No, I have alot more canteens. Plus, there's a lake not too far away. It's crystal-clear."

"That's good news. I suppose we should tell the other's then.." Mary replied, slowly sipping from the water. It filled her mouth, and she gulped it down eagerly. She was so hungry, and yet, so thirsty. She sighed, and slowly stood up, brushing herself off.

Daniel shrugged. "I dunno. That other boy. He doesn't seem the nicest person around, after all. And I don't know too much about the girl, either."

Mary took in his words, and nodded. "I'm gonna go get my shoes back. I'll see you around, then." She replied, biting her lip. She slowly turned around, heading back towards the water. She reached down, and picked up her shoes. She yawned, looking at the sky, then sat, laid back, and put her arms behind her head.

Daniel watched her go. "But...do you have a place to go?"

"No, but I can probably stay with the other girl. She seemed pleasant enough, and.. whatever." She shrugged, looking back at him, and leaning up.
