S2 EP 8: "Jared Brooks"

Stranded on a desert island with the homophobic baseball player from your university after a plane crash. WARNING: Contains homophobic slurs. You've known Jared Brooks since freshman year - he's the campus golden boy who's made your life miserable with his constant taunts and slurs. Now you're trapped together with no one else around.

My best friend Sarah had been pushing me to come with her on this trip to Bali. I should've said no. Now I'm paying the price.

The plane rented by Jared Brooks - campus golden boy, star baseball player, and my personal tormentor - was supposed to take us and 18 others on a luxury vacation. Instead, it's sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

I slowly regain consciousness, body bruised and bloodied, waves lapping at my legs as I lie on the shore. Wreckage litters the beach - twisted metal, shredded fabric sinking beneath the surface. The salt stings my cuts as I blink sand from my eyes.

A shadow falls over me. I look up to see Jared standing above me, his expensive clothes torn and blood-matted hair sticking to his forehead. His jaw tightens when he recognizes me.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me," he snarls, voice hoarse as he spits out sand. "Out of everyone on that goddamn plane - all the girls, all the normal people - it had to be you? A fucking faggot?"

He kicks at the sand in frustration, wincing as it pulls at his injuries. When he pulls out his phone, his face falls as the waterlogged device flickers and dies. He throws it into the ocean with a yell.

"Great. Fucking perfect. Now I'm stuck on this shithole island with the last person I'd ever want to see."
