On a small vacant island, twenty-two contestants are going to participate in a reality show much like "Survivor" or "Endurance," where they will go head-to-head to win the grand prize of $100,000. These contestants are all teenagers at the age of 16. They will live together on the island like "The Real World" as they participate in dangerous events that are similar to those on "Fear Factor" and "Iron Chef," where one person will be victorious and the other will be kicked off.

Now let the games begin!

"What will happen if they learn my secret? Will they be freaked out? Will they hurt me like all the others? Maybe this wasn't a good idea..."

In a small boat heading to island Wawanakwa sat a lanky brown-haired boy who was really worried about anything and everything that could happen. He was an average teen, though short for his age. He styled his hair with a part in the middle of his bangs and flat around his head. The boy was dressed in a dark violet v-neck shirt, black semi-baggy jeans, black boots, and wore fingerless gloves on each hand.

The boat had arrived at the island, a horn going off somewhere to let everyone know that they had arrived and bringing the lanky boy out of his thoughts.

"I can't believe I'm here. I hope the others don't see them."

All the boy could do was repeat the latter sentence over and over in his head as he picked up his bag and took his first steps onto the docks. As he walked, he kept his head down so that no one could see the worried look he wore at the moment; he heard the host come up and clear his throat before making an announcement.

"Welcome campers, my name is Chris and this is Camp Wawankawa! You have all been selected to participate in a reality show called 'TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND,' and whoever is the last remaining contestant will receive the grand prize of $100,000!"

Chris went on to explain the rules and contests, and mentioned how everyone would be living together.

'Great, the risk of them finding out just increased,' was all the lanky boy could think. He tried to come up with a way to avoid everyone, but before coming up with a plan, Chris started to introduce the contestants, the first being the boy, of course.

"Everyone, this is Cody."

The others just nodded.

"To tell you guys the truth, we don't know very much about him, so Cody, mind giving us a little about yourself?"

Cody looked up at Chris, studying him in case something was amiss, his sixth sense allowing him to do so with relative ease. Chris wore a blue button-up shirt with blue jeans, and his black wavy hair was medium cut that really shined when the sun hit it just right.

"Dude, are you ok?"

"Huh, oh sorry about that. I was just thinking about what to say, hehe."
Cody blushed, rubbing the back of his head nervously before straightening up and facing the other teens, clearing his throat before finally answering.

"All I can really say is..........stay away from me!"

Everyone quirked an eyebrow as they stared at him, except one boy who just took a quick glance up before burying his nose back into his book. This intrigued Cody and piqued his curiosity, but fear kept him from finding out why.

"O-ok. Well, uh, lets continue on then, shall we? Ok, from the far right we have Trent, Gwen, Owen, Geoff, Bridgette, Duncan, Courtney, Justin, Izzy, LeShawna, DJ, Tyler, Harold, Heather, Lindsay, Beth, Eva, Katie and Sadie, Ezekiel, and lastly, Noah."

The contestants nodded as their names were called, except the boy with the book, Noah. Cody examined all of them, quickly determining who he might befriend and who was his enemy -- Heather. She positively reeked of spoiled self-centered jerk who would do anything to win.

As he continued his examination of the teens, he smelt a powerful odor and turned around to find a tall dark man in a chef's hat, holding what looked to be buckets of fish. All poor Cody could do was bite hard enough on his bottom lip to break the skin, but it held back the urge to move his extra appendage and pounce on the man for the food.

"Everyone, this is Chef, and he will be your chef and anything else I want him to be during your time here."

All Chef could do was grunt in response as he waled toward the dock's edge. Two girls, dressed alike, looked at each other before one of them spoke up.

"Um, Chris?"

"Yeah?"

"What is Chef doing with those?"

"Oh, he's going to feed the sharks."

"SHARKS?!"

Everyone gasped at the statement; even Noah showed his surprise, if only for a split second.

"Yeah, anyway, now we're going to set you all up in diff--"

Chris was cut off by a small brown-haired blur that shoved past him and attacked chef from behind, knocking down the fish. Cody couldn't resist it any longer - he could keep his extra appendage hidden, but he couldn't control his hunger, and was soon after the fishes. He pounced off Chef and onto a fish, grasping it firmly before sinking his fangs into it and consuming it ravenously.

While he ate, everyone stared, mouths agape; the sight was apparently weird enough to make Noah stop reading and stare at the scene. After Cody ate the fish, he stood up and stretched releasing a small purr before realizing he did in front of everyone. He slowly turned around, wide eyes meeting his own, and shivered a bit since now he figured he'd lost any chance of making a friend and his secret had been exposed. He racked his brain for an excuse, and after a bit he finally came up with something that might seem passable.

"Sorry about that, it's just that I haven't eaten in days, and the hunger finally got to me. I just had to eat something now, hehehe."

He shifted nervously as he spoke, looking at the other contestants' expressions and hoping that they believed his lie. Fortunately, luck was on his side, and everyone just nodded in agreement, figuring hunger could make people do crazy things.

Chris cleared his throat once more before saying, "Well now, since that's over, how about we split you up into different teams? On the Killer Bass team we have Ezekiel, Eva, Katie, Tyler, Sadie, Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan. On the Screaming Gophers, we have Noah Justin, Izzy, Cody, Beth, Trent, Lindsay, LeShawna, Heather, Gwen, and Owen."

The contestants went to each their respective teams and stood around to find out which cabins they would be staying in.

"The cabins on the left are for the Gophers, and the right are for the Bass. Everyone relax and get a good night's sleep, because tomorrow you'll have your first event," Chris said, before walking away and muttering to himself, "Oh, man, what was with Cody? Better keep an eye on him - something's off with that boy."

The teens went to their cabins, except Cody who stood there and watched everyone leave until he was all alone.

"This is going to be difficult in more than one way...."

With that said, he picked up his bag and headed for the forest to find a good place to set up camp and call home for now.
