"Last time on total drama island, 23 campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp, then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers."

"It's our first challenge. How hard can it be?"

... "I did not sign up for this." Gwen said to you.

°•°•☆🪼☆•°•°

"Okay. Today's challenge is three-fold. Your first task us to jump off this 1,000 foot-high cliff into the lake." You stopped looking from the cliff as you focused on Chris, listening in to what you'll have to do today.

"Piece of cake." Bridgette said to Tyler, making you look at her shocked. "If you look down, you will see two target areas. The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic... man-eating sharks." Chris finished as he chuckled a bit while explaining the part with sharks. "Inside that area is a safe zone. That's your target area, which, we're pretty sure is shark free." Chris said, making you worried at that where he said 'pretty sure'.

"Excusee me?" Leshawna said, interrupting him. "For each member of your team that jumps, and actually.. survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge... building.. a hot tub. The team with the best one gets to have a wicked! Hot-tub party tonight!" He said, making you slightly hope that your team will win.

"The losers will be sending someone home." He dramatically announced, making everyone nervous about loosing.

"Let's see.. Killer Bass, you're up first." He said, making you relieved you don't have to go first.

"Oh.. wow.. so who wants to go first?" Bridgette said while looking out of the cliff, as she then turned around only to be met with silence from her teammates, the cricket's chirping being heard.

"Hey, don't sweat it guys." Owen said as he turned around to face us. "I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable." Owen said while trying to comfort us.

You then looked at Bridgette who jumped, making you slightly surprised. You wish you had her bravery. The others from their team then started to jump one by one, making you gulp.

"Uh-uh, no way, man. I'm not jumping." D.J. said, before turning around, looking at Chris.

"Scared of heights?" Chris asked curiously. "Yeah, ever since I was a kid." D.J. admitted

"That's okay, big guy." Chris said in a sickeningly sweet voice, before walking up to D.J. "Unfortunately.. that also makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." He said as he putted a chicken hat on his head.

"Aw man, for real?" D.J. asked with a frown. "Bawk bawk bawk!" He made chicken noises to mock him, making you frown now. You couldn't blame that poor dude. You're not sure if you have the guts to even jump yourself. "That means the chicken path down is that-a-way." Chris said as he pointed his thumb behind him, pointing to an escalator making your jaw drop. When did that get there?? You watched D.J. walk towards the escalator while watching his teammates. You felt bad for that poor man.

The next person to jump was Ezekiel, then Harold. You could hear him scream after he jumped down, worried something painful must have happened.

You looked from the cliff to notice Harold landed in a split position, landing on his...

You winced even for him, imagining how painful that much have been. He started to sink into the water, before screaming out again, and sinking fully.

"Ouch.." you mumbled to which Chris and Courtney heard, them being beside you.
"Oh, hate to see that happen." Chris said while placing a hand on your shoulder. You glanced at him, confused at what he's doing.

You walked back up to your team, eventually making his hand slip from your shoulder as you sat down onto the grass.

You then felt a hand on your shoulder, noticing Katie with Sadie behind her.

"Hey [Y/n]! I told Sadie about your idea and she agreed!" "Yeah, but like.. will it work?" Sadie asked you, a bit hesitant.

"I mean.. what if we won't be able to switch teams? Like maybe it's forbidden or something.." Sadie said with Katie nodding along side her.

"I don't know.. I mean, you can try. Maybe it'll be more effective if you two just won't want to take a part in the challenge if Chris won't want to switch you with someone. Force him to have you two on the same teams. I'm not sure if it isn't forbidden, switching contestants to be on the other team.. but I know that Chris has a big ego and he's an unpatient man. Just be the whiniest and annoying as you can be, and you'll get on his nerves, and he'll probably switch you. So, all you need is someone you can switch with." You looked around and spotted Izzy. "Oh, maybe Izzy will switch with you? She seems nice, I bet that she won't mind." You said as you turned your head back to them. "But you should hurry, she seems like she's about to jump." You said.

"OH MY GOSH, THAT'S SO SMART [Y/N]!! YOU'RE A GENIUS!! THANK YOUU!" The girls thanked you in synch and hugged you before running off to Izzy. You watched them as they stopped Izzy from jumping, explaining their plan to her and they all turned to look at you, as you gave them a small wave. You then noticed Izzy nod, as the girls squeeled in joy.

"Wow.. you're so smart. And you're so good at reading people. I totally feel that." You got slightly startled when you noticed Cody talking to you as he sat beside you on the grass. "That's totally my type." Cody mumbled to himself, but you didn't hear him. You chuckled at his comment. "Haha.. thanks.. but what was the last part?" You asked curiously, as you haven't really heard what he said.

"O-oh nothing really! I was just talking to myself.." He said quickly, while his cheeks turned slightly pink. You nodded suspiciously, oblivious to his pink cheeks.

"Hold on. That's seven jumpers and two chickens. We're missing two." Chris said before turning to face Sadie, Katie and Izzy.

"I'm not jumping without Katie!"

"We have to be on the same team, Chris!"

"Please! Pleaaaseee! Can we? Can we, Chris? Can we, Can we?" They said in synch as they talked quickly as if they were newborn chicks.

"I'll switch places with her." Izzy raised her hand, catching Chris' attention. "All right. Fine! You're both on the killer bass now." He said, clearly annoyed while glaring.

"Izzy, you're on the screaming gophers." He said to her, his tone softening. She only shrugged in response, before joining your team.

"YES!" They both exclaimed in synch, happy.

"That means you're up, girls." Chris said to them, as they held each other's hand and then ran up to the cliff. "We're coming, killer bass!" They exclaimed, jumping off the cliff.

"Okay, so that's nine jumpers and two chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that, we'll throw in a pull cart to put you crates on." Chris announced, looking up from the cliff towards your team.

"Nice. Okay guys, who's up first?" Trent asked, only to be met with silence as no one responded.

You looked away from his gaze, still sitting on the grass. Cody noticed this and looked at you. "Are you scared of jumping?" He asked you, putting his arms behind his back to lean on them, trying to look more 'cool' from your view.

You looked at him a bit embarrassed and nodded. "Yeah.." Cody then noticed your embarrassed tone before sitting up criss-cross across you. "H-hey it's not what- it's okay to be scared of course! I'm pretty sure everyone here is scared anyway. N-not me though.. haha." He said trying to make you feel better but still wanting you to have a good point of view on him.

You chuckled at his attempt of trying to make you feel better. "Thanks Cody."

You two then noticed Heather and Leshawna arguing, as you both stood up and walked up to the rest of the team.

"Oh, you're doing it!" Leshawna said as she leaned closer to Heather, glaring at her. "Says who?" Heather sassily asked. "Says me. I'm not losing this challenge 'cause you got your hair day, you spoiled little daddy's girl." Leshawna said making your eyes widen at much how she ate.

You and Cody walked next to Noah, who seemed to be smirking at the whole drama, clearly enjoying it. Can't say you didn't of course.

"Back off, ghetto-glamour, too-tight-pants-wearing rap-star wannabe." Heather shot back, making everyone's eyes widen. "Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearin', teen-girl-reading, peeking in high school prom queen!" Leshawna shot back at her, making Heather silent for a second, just glaring at her.

"Well, at least I'M popular." Heather finished, as everyone seemed even more interested into the drama, Cody putted a hand over his mouth, Noah smirked even more. And.. then there was Justin.. who pulled out a mirror to look at himself.

Where did he even get that mirror?

"You're jumpin'!"

"Make me!" Leshawna then picked up Heather with ease, putting her in the air and walking with her towards the cliff. She then threw her out of the cliff, making Heather scream.

"Hey! I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I? Now I just hope I can hit it too." Leshawna then jumped after her.

"I thought this was going to be a talent contest..." Lindsay said with a frown towards Chris. "Yeah.. no." He laughed before he stopped. She then jumped, screaming.

After her went Gwen, and then Cody left you, to go jump after her. Then Izzy, and then eventually, Justin, who jumped with grace. You were looking out from the cliff, watching Justin dive into the area with sharks.

The sharks were about to attack him, but stopped, noticing his gorgeous face. They then took him to the shore, making you stare at the scene blankly.

"Pretty privilege.." you mumbled to yourself. You then looked around and noticed only five of you were left, including you.

"I-I can't do it.. I'm too scared.. I'm sorry!" Beth exclaimed as Chris handed her a chicken hat. You gulped, realising that if you'd back out, you would be the cause of your team's loss.

You heard Cody and Leshawna making chicken noises at Beth, making you even more nervous.

"Let's do this." Trent exclaimed with a smirk as he then high-fived Owen, and then walked up to you and gave you a high-five, along side a wink. He then ran to the cliff, and jumped off. Screaming out a 'YEAH!'.

You then kept looking from cliff, not sure if to jump or not.

"Awh, too scared?" You heard a mocking voice say, before they snickered. You turned to face Noah, who was slightly smirking at you. You glared at him before sighing. "You know that you have to jump now or the team will be mad at you, you know. And you'll end up getting eliminated~" He continued to say in a teasing tone, making you sigh.

"Obviously I don't want that! But.. I don't want to get eaten by a man-eating sharks either.." You mumbled out him, making the man pause for a second, before shrugging.
"Well... the escalator is that way. Bawk bawk bawk!" He chuckled and walked away to the end of the cliff, making you angry before you walked towards him and stood next to him.

"We'll see who's a chicken." You glared at him before grabbing his hand, surprising him, and then jumping and dragging him along side you, as he started to scream. You still held onto his hand as you started to scream as well, and you then clung onto him and hugged him, as he hugged you too before you both fell into the ocean, into the safe zone. When you both dived out, you spit out the water, before cheering and raising your hand into the air, which was still holding onto Noah's hand.

You then smiled at Noah once you let go of his hand. Much to his dissapointment. "See? Told you I'm no chicken." You chuckled at him.

"Says someone who was clinging onto me for their dear life." He chuckles, his cheeks seemed to be red.

"Like you weren't doing the same.." you mumbled out. "Plus you scream like a girl." You gave him a grin, annoying him for your comment.

"Sick jump!" Trent said to both of you while holding out his fists to both of you, making you smile at him and fist bump him.

°• Noah's confessional •°

"See? Thanks to me, they have jumped. It's not like I intended to mock them for their fear, it was understandable why they were scared. They just needed a little... push, to jump. They're probably going to be in my debt now or something, since I basically helped them from getting eliminated. But.. the way they clinged onto me was actually pretty cute.." Noah mumbled to himself the last part, scratching his arm as static appeared.

•° Confessional end •°

"Okay, campers, there's only one person left." You turned your head up as you heard Chris announce this with a megaphone. "You guys need this jump for the win. No pressure dude. Okay, there's pressure."

You then heard everyone from your team who were on the shore shout at him to jump, or encourage him to jump.

"Wooo! You can do it, Owen!" You shouted from the water, looking at him.

°• Owen's confessional •°

"Ohh.. I was pretty darn nervous. See, the thing is.. I'm not that strong a swimmer."

°• Geoff's confessional •°

"I'm looking at this guy and thinking, 'there's no way he's gonna make it.'" Geoff said with a confident look while facing the camera.

°• Gwen's confessional •°

"I actually thought, 'if he jumps this... he's gonna die.'" Gwen said blankly to the camera.

°• Izzy's confessional •°

"Haha I don't really care about if Owen jumps or not, I'm here to talk about how glad I am that Katie asked me to switch teams with her! Like, I'm on a team with [Y/n] now! They're like.. so cool!" Izzy said excitedly.

°• Katie's confessional •°

"I'm so glad that [Y/n] gave me and Sadie the idea about switching teams! Like I mean.. I'm pretty sad that I won't be on the same team as them.. since they were so nice.. but.. sacrifices have to be made if you want to be on the same team as your best friend." Katie said and shrugged

•° Confessional end •°

You, Noah and Trent stared at the cliff curiously, wondering on when Owen is going to jump. You then noticed Owen finally jumping from the cliff, making you all smile. "OH, CRAP!" He shouted as he wore arm floaties for protection.

Your smile faded when you started to realise he's going to fall on the three of you.

When he finally jumped into the water, he sent a wave, along side with you, Trent and Noah, to the shore, splashing everyone. You landed on your face in the sand in a starfish position, having the sand in your mouth.

After few seconds you sat up, spitting the sand out.

"Yes! Yeah! Oh, yeah! Who's the man?!" Owen cheered making you smile.

"Woohoo! You got it!" You cheered, raising both of your arms into the air, before falling on your back laughing.

"The winners, the screaming gophers!" You all cheered.

"That was awesome dude! What's wrong?" Trent cheered before he asked. "I.. think I lost my bathing suit.." Owen voiced out as everyone let out an 'ew'.

"Oh, now I don't wanna see that.."

°•°•☆🪼☆•°•°

IMPORTANT [A/n] Woo! Another chapter! Haha, can u guys tell I love Noah. ( I bet y'all can't /j ) but.. I thought about like... not getting Noah voted off after Dodgeball, but letting him stay for a longer while. I probably ( to be honest ) would lost motivation thanks to it 💔 ( hah.. )

Soo.. would you want me to keep him in the story longer? I even know how to fit him in!! ( in few episodes lmao.. ) and who to vote off instead.

Andd also, you're Trent's and Cody's Gwen 🫶🏻 and Gwen's Trent 😻
Butt, Lindsay+Tyler, Courtney+Duncan, Geoff+Bridgette still have something going on between them, but they also have a crush on you haha

Also, Chris and Chef aren't going to be love interests, but they're going to have a soft spot for you and you'll be their favourite contestant hahahah

Anyways, In order to get every character ( or most of them ) to like you, I'll try to add as much romantic scenes as I can, but I'll try not to make it feel forced or put too much of it. But so far, you can see something already starting to develop!!!

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter!! <33 I'll appreciate every vote and comment! 🫶🏻
