I couldn't help but worriedly glance at Benny as he was breathing so loud. "Are you okay?" I asked, the sun hitting against our faces.

Benny coughed out of his anxiety as he barely looked at me. "I'm fine. It's just canoeing. Meaning boats, meaning water, meaning seeing fish, oh my god I'm about to pass out." He gagged.

"Benny we don't have to do this if you feel uncomfortable." I replied, gently putting an arm on his shoulder.

"No, no, I'm fine." He quickly shook his head as he wiggled his hands to shake any fear away. "Bad bitches don't get scared, let's go." Just before I could've replied, a womanly voice had finally spoken out loud.

"Morning boys! It's a gorgeous day today!" She cheered, twirling a strand of blonde hair around her fingers as she literally looked like a human Barbie doll. "My name is Natasha and I'll start off by putting you guys in groups of 5! I'm surprised all of you guys decided to participate, the turn out is incredible!" She cheered, waving at some of the boys.

I anxiously chewed my lips as I too was very shocked to see everyone here, hearing Natasha speak again. "Okay so let's look it here." She glanced down at her clip board. "Jesse, Logan, Rama, Sascha, and Keanu, you guys are a group!"

She continued to announce the groups as Benny and I stood close to each other, distant murmurs and whispering quickly emitting around us.

"Ashton, Jhin, Miles, Tristan, and Nikolai, you guys are a group!" She exclaimed every name very bubbly, continuing to speak again. "Dallas, Trevor, Leo, Andrew, and Romeo, you guys are a group!" She smiled, waiting for the boys to huddle up together.

Benny and I let out a sigh of relief as we find out that we're in the same group, hearing the girl speak 1 last time. "The last group is Benny, Micah, Cadence, Posh, and Milan!" She breathed out. "Alright guys, safely get in your boat and make sure to follow the curvy lake. Do not go off track!" She posed, watching everyone scurry off to their large canoes.

Oh my fuck.

The canoes were gigantic. They were all set up next to each other and I couldn't help but examine each 1. "Benny I'm kinda excited. This is gonna be the first time that I'll ever be canoeing. I'm shocked I even wanted to do it because I hate the outdoors."

Benny breathed in and out as if he hated the feeling of water hit against his feet. "I can't relate. You know how dirty this water might be? Fish shit, animal shit, maybe even human shit mixing in together with the soil." He gagged as I rolled my eyes at him.

"We'll be fine." I smiled, my hands touching the canoe to prepare to get on. "Hopefully our other group members don't ruin it for us."

Benny coughed as we carefully got inside the wooden canoe. "Oh you know they will. Sucks ass that we just had to share a canoe with a bunch of brainwashed baboons with IQ's of negative 500." He sighed as I tried to hold in a loud laugh.

The trio's voices began to be heard as they got closer, sitting my self all the way back as Benny sat in front of me.

Cadence devilishly smirked at me as he quickly threw his tank top off. The warm sun defined every inch of his snowy masculine body as he got on the boat, Milan and Posh talking amongst themselves.

"Ew, I don't know how I feel about this." Milan scoffed, his blue eyes glaring at the boat. "If I knew that it would be supes low budget and we would be sharing it with middle class passengers, I would've totally just told my daddy to deliver us a custom bejeweled 1."

Posh rolled his eyes in annoyance as I glanced at the blue flower that was on the side of his ear, his cheeks glowing radiantly with the sun. "Milan only I can say supes, so supes stop trying to be like me." He untied his silky light blue sarong from his waist, exposing really short shorts that defined his glowing tan legs. "Just think of it as community service." He giggled, making his lip gloss shimmer.

Even if Posh lacked kindness in his pool of traits, his style of clothing and his makeup is undeniably always impeccable and never fails to stand out.

Benny looked back to me as he whispered. "His highlighter is so damn bright it might blind an airplane pilot and cause a plane to crash." He snickered.

"He's not carrying highlighter?" I asked, making Benny roll his eyes at my response.

"No, not the highlighter you use to write wi-oh my god of course you don't understand." He looked back as the boat began to rock. "Nevermind."

Cadence extended his hand out towards Posh like a gentleman as he carefully got on the boat. As Posh finally sat down, Milan extended his hand out towards Cadence also, but he didn't return it, making it insanely awkward for Milan as everyone just stared at him. "Ugh." He rolled his eyes, quickly getting on the boat by himself.

"Alright boys! Have fun out there!" Natasha waved her hands as boats slowly began to float away from land.

It was a complete struggle since Cadence and I were the only ones rowing, and it didn't help that the canoe was really big.

Posh turned towards me as he pulled out a large bright blue fan that included some purple flower designs on it, opening and fanning himself with it as I looked at him blankly. "You look really hot today Mickey." He complimented as he looked pass Benny to look at me.

Um what? Mickey? Mickey Mouse?

I slightly tilted my head in confusion, trying to process the name he just called me. "T-thanks, it's Micah." I replied, making him turn back around as I couldn't bare the fact that Cadence and I were really the only ones doing anything.

Posh noticed this also, making him speak out. "From the very deepest part of my heart, I would help row, but I just did my acrylics and they're stilettos this time." He fluttered his incredibly sharp light blue nails into the air as I sighed. "Milan, you have no nails and no excuse not to help, so help! Also Benny, not to be insensitive to your weird fear of the water or something but you should help out in rowing the boat as well." He shrugged.

Benny slowly moved his head back as he was shocked for Posh to talk to him like that. "Bitch the only thing insensitive is your eyesight because you clearly can't see how wack those nails look. It's giving very much twigs you picked off the forest. I'll row the boat if I want to, but I don't. If you're ass can sit still look pretty and do nothing just because of your slender man nails, then I think I can choose not to do anything also. Please don't ever tell me what to do again, I will deadass push you over the boat and those nails won't be the only thing that will get ruined, please don't try me." He snapped, making me slightly nervous as I couldn't control my mouth from dropping.

Posh didn't bother looking back at Benny as his high pitched voice began to reply. "I find sitting still looking pretty and admiring my expensive nail acrylics that apparently look like "twigs" is better than doing nothing, but I get what you mean, I guess."

Benny imitated Posh as he rolled his eyes back. That went smoother than I thought it would. I was scared that they would fight and make this canoe tip over or something.

Posh pat Milan on the shoulder. "Here's Cadence's paddle, he's on break." Milan's mouth rapidly widened. "Cadence, I want you to take a cute picture of me, make sure to get the flower in my ear." Posh turned around, beginning to pose as Benny and I watched from Cadence's phone screen.

I stopped rowing since I noticed the canoe began to move on it's own, giving me a chance to look around at my gorgeous surroundings.

I watched as the tall evergreen trees glistened from a distance as the gorgeous sun defined all of them. Taking a deep breath also helped me realize how crystal clear and crisp the air is out here instead of my city.

Milan began to talk. "Oh my gosh, you guys look! There's so many little fishies under the boat!" He quickly moved his head out front to look, catching all of our attentions except Benny.

Benny remained frozen still as he squeaked to himself, making me talk to him about his sudden stiffness. "Benny, look at how much salmon is swimming under our boat right now!" I grinned, trying to move him so he can see.

Benny shook his head. "Nope, nopety nope, hell no." He quietly cried making my mouth drop in amusement.

"Is that why you didn't wanna come at first?" I raised an eyebrow at him, grinning behind him as I couldn't believe Benny's biggest fear is something so simple. "Are you scared of fish?"

"Shut up, I'm not looking down there." He tightly closed his eyes as everyone else looked down at the fish in excitement.

I laughed to myself as everything all of a sudden became quiet.

The amount of fish that began to pass the boat was immense. There was an army of them and I couldn't believe my eyes.

All of us just awkwardly looked at each other as our boat began to move in a faster pace.

Faster..

Faster...

Okay now it's a little too fast..

Posh rapidly yelped out, breaking the silence. "Um, I think the boat is supes going off course!"

My eyes widened as strong currents of water carried us away from where we were supposed to go. Fuck.

Benny quickly stood up, gently rocking the boat which made Milan and Posh's screams echo even around the forest far away from us.

Benny's loud voice quickly captured our attention. "Okay listen, I'm not dying like this and have salmon eat me alive! Everyone better pick up a damn paddle and row our asses outta here!" Posh quickly winced at him as everyone began to get to work except for him.

"Um, but like, salmon won't eat you, they're not piranhas, they're completely harmless." Posh calmly explained, remaining seated as Benny immediately towered over him with his hands up in the air.

Benny rapidly replied as he picked up the paddle with both hands. "Potato tomato, all fish are the same! Now forget about your nails and row bitch!" Posh's eyes widened as he picked up the paddle that Benny dropped on his nimble frame.

All of us worked hard to row, but it didn't matter. It seemed to not even work since the water underneath us only progressively got stronger.

I remained quiet since I was actually dying in the inside from being so terrified, the lake was endless and the boat was just continuing to get carried. Also, none of us had the chance to jump out and just swim to the shore because the currents would've probably just ate us up and drowned us.

Well fuckity fuck, my fucking life is fucked, fuck.

"G-guys.." Posh's face was drowned in fear as he gulped, staring out front.

I sharply breathed in as we watched the intense rapids our boat was about to enter. The rapids were organized in levels, signaling that it was going to be an insanely bumpy water ride.

"Oh my god, we're going to die." Benny turned towards me. "How are you remaining so damn quiet!"

"I-I d-don't know what to say!" I anxiously spoke out, my eyes watching the boat go faster.

"Well, thank god I brought this." Cadence deeply chuckled as he pulled out a lighter, immediately flicking the fire towards a blunt that he had inside his pocket.

Milan began to panic as his face was extremely red. "Cadence are you really lighting up a blunt right now? What is wrong with you!" Cadence quickly threw him a dirty look as he proceeded to smoke.

All of a sudden, chaos and panic ensued on the boat as everything quickly fell apart.

Just before anyone could've spoken again, the boat had already begun to rapidly flow through the rapids, making us let out screams of fear and frustrations.

The boat swung rapidly against the waters with so much force, causing some water to go inside the boat, splashing it on all of us. "Thank god I used setting spray for my makeup today! Jokes on you Mother Nature!" Posh dramatically posed as more water splashed onto the boat.

Milan looked absolutely devastated as he cried out loud, holding on for his dear life. "If I wanted to go on a water ride I would've gone to Six Flags!" He whined loudly. "My gucci flip flops are so soaked!"

Cadence laughed as he shook his head side to side. "Am I the only one not that bothered by this!?" His voice raising in volume as the boat only went deeper into a ditch of forceful rapids.

"We're dead y'all!" Benny exclaimed, pointing out at the small water fall that was without a doubt going to flip the boat over. "This is it!"

"Oh my god we're going to die!" Milan quickly looked back. "You know what!? Before we die I have a lot of confessions to make!" We all looked at Milan as the boat continued to move closer to the water fall.

"I can't believe the last thing I'm going to hear before I die is your supes irritating voice!" Posh's face crinkled in disgust as Milan continued to speak.

"Posh, I never really liked you because you're such a rotten little bitch! I only use you for exposure!" Milan confessed, making all our mouths drop as he continued to speak. "I only wanted to go back with Logan to ruin you! Cadence, I actually have the biggest crush on you but I never made it obvious because smoking is gross! Benny I don't really know you, but Micah! I was the one writing the notes so you can stay away from Logan! I was going to confront you at the bonfire but I couldn't!"

Just before anyone could've responded to him, the boat had already went over the small water fall, flipping us all off as our bodies were forcefully submerged into the cold water.

I couldn't process anything that was going on as my body sunk deeper into the water, sharp jets of water engulfing my entire body as I began to suffocate.

Oh my god, I actually think I'm going to die right now!

I couldn't even have final goodbyes!

I didn't even get to see my mom one last time!

I flailed my hands around the freezing water as I choked, my mouth letting out large bubbles as my eyes slowly closed.

All of a sudden, everything in my body, including my eyes faded to black.
