"YEAH! LETS START A FIRE!"
"Sounds like mighty good fun"
"Lets do it"
"We need to make rules! Keep everything in order!" I said scornfully. "Make a list so we don't loose anyone,that sounds like a mighty fine idea doesn't it?"
These boys were running round like savages, very tumultuous The only thing on there mind was fire now. Doesn't anyone care about order and rules but me. Ralph seemed very into this. Well i wasn't. I wanted to be with the conch. It holds all the power. Why does a stupid little fire matter really. I know it's so we can be saved, or for cooking but it's not the most important thing right now. I don't really like to get along with other boys, especially my age. They seem to act to, well, childish. Immature if you know what I mean.
"We are going to need wood"
"Yeah, wood!"
They set out looking for wood for the fire. Scavenging in the jungle for wood, well I don't want to tag along. They came and dropped the wood in a pile.
"How are we going to start it?"
"Does anyone have matches?"
"I think he does"
"No him"
They were all wondering how they were going to start it. I looked out of the corner of my eyes and i could see these three boys staring at me.
"What about his glasses?"
"Yeah we could use them to burn the wood"
All of the sudden all of the crowd looked at me and just stared.
"Yeah"
"We could do that. Use them kinda like a magnify glass"
They were all just looking at me. Like a child through a toy store window. Looking with irresistible eyes.
"NO!Not my specs!I need them too see. Without them I would be as blind as a dog" Some boys were being very officious with me. Before I could say anything else I was surrounded.
"Let me go!I can't see!I can't even see my own hand!" I shrieked.
Jack was the one who snatched my glasses off.
"Just give'em back!You'll break'em!" I yelled I could see a blur of what seemed to be Ralph kneeling by the pile of wood.
"Stand out of the sun" the figure said. By the sound of the voice I could tell it was Ralph. I trusted him more than I did Jack with my specs. I don't like Jack there is something about that boy that makes stomach turn. I think being in the jungle for this time, might have warped their minds. I nimbly walked throught the crowd of boys to see Ralph light the fire with me specs. After he lite the fire he handed me back my glasses. I sat down with the conch in my lap.
"GET MORE WOOD" Ralph said.
Everyone went running for more wood. By the looks of this event seems like this is going to be a wild ride.
