chapter 1. Piggy

Today is the craziest day ever. I was on the plane with other people I don't even know. I met this one boy named Ralph. What I saw that Ralph was athleic, and he runs a lot because he was tall so that must be that he played sports. I knew that he played sports, because we went swimming at the lagoon, Ralph went in when I stayed back because I had asthma so I stayed back watching Ralph go swim. Ralph founded a conch shell. I told Ralph to try it to call back the boys from where ever they are. Ralph tried the shell, all the boys from where ever they were went to go explore the island. When I called they all started running back to where I was because they heard the shell sound. After Ralph went swimming we sat down. Ralph asked me what my name is, I didn’t tell him that so he asked me what’s my nickname is I told him my nick name is Piggy. He started to laugh and I kind of got mad because I didn’t think it was funny. Ralph said “Am sorry but why did they name you that for your nick name” I told him I don’t know. Later that night we went back to camp. Ralph went over to the other boys and I sat down on this rock Ralph was whispering in the leader of the choir boys. I saw the leader started to laugh and I thought to myself he could have told them my nick name but I wasn’t sure. Then the leader told his other friends and them all started whispering and laughing all together. I knew Ralph told the boys my nick name. I was mad because he went he told my nick name to the others boys.

All the boys came back I was a little scared because I didn't even know these people so what I did because I wanted to know these people I said " who were you to everyone" so they would say there name. So I would know everyone for myself and just in case if one were be missing I would know. So I would the other kids someone is missing then we would be getting the person that is missing. I was kind of scared because I didn’t know these people and they looked cooler than I were. I thought I would embarrassed Ralph and myself. After meeting all the boys I went to go explore the island so I could get to know this place a little better before I get lost when I was walking I saw some palm trees, a lagoon, some beaches with sand and a lot of trees that I never saw back at home with my auntie. I wish to go back home with my auntie because am not use to being with other boys on an island where no one can come pick us up. I don’t think I’m going to be rescued because I don’t think anyone knows where this place is and where. Plus no one can contact us even to say are you guys okay I don’t even know where I am.

The choir boys came over to me and asked me. How am I doing I said to them good and sad. They asked me why are you sad. I told them because I missed being with my auntie and I missed her and she doesn’t even know where I am and how am I doing because we don’t even have a cell on an island. One of the choir boys asked me why aren’t you mentioning your mom or dad I told them I don’t even know my mom I haven’t met her in my life and my dad died I don’t know why though. They all were feeling sad because I don’t have my mom or dad. Ralph came over and sat down and joined us telling us about his dad. He said “my dad in the navy but I hardly ever see him” We all felt sad for him. This little boy asked how we get stuck on this island. Ralph said “you may not remember but were in World War II an the plane crashed now we stuck on this isand." I wish I just can get off this island and go back home with my auntie. The choir boys and Ralph started to feel sad because they all miss there family members.
