Flight 29 Down Chapter 23
Stephan calm down, Eric is just trying to push your buttons. I said.
Well it's working. Stephan gritted.
Stephan glared at Eric.
Oh please don't get into a fight! I begged.
It's a free country. I can say whatever I want. Eric said as they ignored me.
 Not about my girlfriend. Stephan said.
I didn't see that in a constation or whatever. Eric said.
You want me to ingrave it in your face? Stephan asked as he held his fist up.
Eric walk away! I demanded.
I didn't want a fight. I already had two fights with Eric and xe didn't need to kill him.
I stepped between them. Guys stop it. I demanded.
Cassidy, it's mine turn to have fun. Stephan said.
I don't think we should kill....just yet. I said smiling.
Your right Dailey would be mad and there is no where to hide his body. Stephan said.
I can fight. I beat Cassidy's butt once. Eric said.
But she's a girl. Stephan said.
Stephan! That makes no difference!!! I am just as tuff and just as strong as you. I said.
Sorry but your not as strong as me. I work out everyday. Stephan said.
I shook my head as Stephan stuffed his foot into his mouth.
Okay.. Look at it from my point of view for a minute. Look at all the trees I climb, I climb at least 3 everyday. Doyou know how hard it is to climb a tree? I asked.
So I was mad! Just because I ak a girl doesn't meant that I'm not strong.
Stephan just stood there.
I'm leaving find me later, wait, never mind don't. I said.
Cassidy, please don't be mad. Stephan said.
To late. I said.
Smooth. Eric said.
How could Stephan say that? It hurt me, sure I wasn't strong like a body builder but I was strong. Maybe it's all in my head. No it couldn't be, I am strong, look at everything I do. I climb trees to live. I risk my life everyday to get food for these people, people that I don't really like. But I do it put of kindness. Since when did I become so kind?
Cass, wait up. Stephan called out.
A part of me wanted to stop but the other half was wanting to keep walking.
Come on Cassidy. Stephan said.
I kept walking.
Stephan you better be quit before you get your other foot stuck in your mouth. I said.
Cassidy I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking. Stephan said.
I wanted to forgive him but there was something in the back of my mind telling me not. Was that my old self? Was I becoming someone different?
Cassidy please forgive me. Stephan said.
I turned around to face him.
Stephan what you said sort of hurt me but I really like you. I don't want to ruin our relationship over a stupid mistake. I said.
I'm so sorry! I know are strong, you can climb a 20 foot tree in an hour. Stephan said.
We hugged and made our way back to camp.
Before we go back to camp, we need to go get your clothes. Stephan said.
You got my clothes? I asked in disbleif.
I sure did. Stephan said.
We cut through some deep grass.
What are you waiting for? Stephan asked.
I wonder what hides in deep grass. Something that will eat my toes. I said mostly to myself.
There is nothing that will get your toes. It's a deserted island. Stephan said nicely.
Okay whatever you say. I said.
I walked slowly throughthe grass. As I did I thought as a plan. 
Ouch! I half scream.
What's wrong? Stephan asked.
Nothing. Thought it would be funny to scare you. I said laughing.
You and your pranks! Was it funny? Stephan asked.
He held my hand pulled me through the grass.
It was very funny. I said.
How does Jackson live with your pranks? Stephan asked.
Before we came here we didn't talk a lot. I mean we did talk, I rarely played pranks. I was always scared I would get in trouble or something so I didn't pull any. I said.
I see. I never really thought that you was immature buecuase you never pulled any pranks until you got comfortable around everybody. Your like the class clown, almost. Stephan said.
You could call me a clown, I was in a circus. I said.
Yeah your right but I wouldn't because your too cute to be a clown. Stephan said.
Awe thanks. I said.
