I woke up surrounded by grass. I was lying in the middle of an opening in a jungle. I sat up back quickly fell back because of the dizziness. I felt something warm around my waist and realized it was an arm. An arm attached to a boy with fair hair. I wondered who this boy was and how I got here but then I remembered.

Earlier….

"Miss, please just get on this plane. They are both going the same way." A very stressed lady at the boarding area told me. We were in the middle of a war, so my all girls' boarding school had all it's students evacuated and taken to the airport. Yesterday, we had spent the night at the all boys' boarding school. Both schools took their students to the airport each with a small suitcase of valuables. We had been sitting at the airport for a good two hours when I called my aunt to say goodbye. The call had taken longer then I had expected because my little cousin Timmy wanted to say goodbye too. After I hung up, I realized all the girls were gone and the boys were boarding their planes. I ran up to the lady and that is when she informed me that the girls' planes had already taken off and I would have to go with the boys on their plane.

I sighed, "Fine, I shall go with them, but thank you for your patience."

"Thank you, miss for your understanding. I will let you board first. Have a safe flight!" she said smiling at last.

I walked into the small plane and sat down in the second row of first class seats. I heard loud voices coming, so I prepared myself for a long flight. All the boys came on the plane. There were some really young boys and then some boys about my age. A group of choir boys came onto the plane and the leader sat down next to me.

"Hello. I am Jack Merridew. I am 14 almost 15. I am the head of the choir and I can sing a C sharp. So who are you?" he said. The boy had reddish hair and freckles scattered across his checks. He was very attractive, so I smiled.

"I am Samantha Worthington. I am 14."

"Oh, I have seen you before. You were walking around last night trying to find the girls bathroom, I assume."

"Yes, that was I." I blushed a little at the thought of a boy remembering me.

"Yes, my friends and I were remarking on your very see-through nightgown. I must say, I liked what I saw."

I was stunned, how could he say something like that. I mean if he liked what he saw he should have just kept it to himself. I didn't say anything for a good 30 seconds but he didn't seem bothered by my reaction.

" Don't worry Samantha, I won't tell anyone else." Him smiled very devilishly. "It will be our little secret." He picked up one of my pieces of blackish-brown hair and started to twirl it around. He was leaning in like he was going to whisper something in my ear, but someone interrupted.

" Excuse me, but I believe your sitting in my seat." A boy with fair hair smiled down at me and showed Jack his ticket.

"Fine, I will move, but I will see you soon, darling." And he winked at me.

Jack got up and moved across the aisle and the fair-haired boy sat down.

"Thank you." I said.

"Oh, no problem. I saw what was happening, what was he telling you?" the boy asked.

"Oh nothing much just that he saw me last night walking in my nightgown and liked what he saw."

The boy gasped, "Well that was rude and just an improper thing to say. You don't say those things to a lady."

I smiled, "I'm no lady."

"Yes you are um…. I don't know your name." he smiled back.

"Samantha."

"Ralph." He picked up my hand and kissed my knuckles. His kiss was soft, gentle, and sweet. His blue eyes sparkled with mischief and wonder. He was much more attractive then Jack and something about him was intriguing. The plane took off and we started talking about our families, school and what we like to do in our free time. Each subject led into another conversation. He made me laugh and I liked that about him. I noticed Jack staring at Ralph and me with anger and jealousy. We talked for about three hours, until the flight became very bumpy.

I must have looked very uncomfortable because Ralph said, "Don't worry, Samantha it is just a little turbulence."

But it seemed to last for a long time. Thirty minutes later it became much worse. "May I?" Ralph asked motioning to my hand.

"Please." I said in a small voice. He held my hand for a long time but the turbulence was getting much worse. The captain's voice just came over the loud speaker, when I bumped my head very hard on the widow and blacked out.

Now….

After I had realized what had happened, I was scared. What happen to the other plane? Did they make it? The only thing I was happy about was realizing that Ralph was with me. Ralph was stirring, when I looked over at him. His blue eyes opened and as soon as he saw me, he smiled.

"Hi", his voice was groggy.

"Hi" He pulled me closer to him and his arm tightened around my waist. I could feel his warm breath against my skin and that made me smile. He reached up and moved a strand of hair off my wet forehead. It stung when he touched me, as he moved his hand down I saw blood on one of his fingertips. He must have noticed my worried look, when he said, "Just a little bump. Don't worry you won't have a scar."

"Do you know what happened?" I asked, "I heard the pilots' voice just before I blacked out.

"No, he was cut off and then we crashed. I woke up and it was dark out. I saw you and thought we should get out of the plane, just in case. So I carried you out, put you down here and laid down next to you. So here we are."

"Thank you." I said sleepily and was closing my eyes again. He got up and pulled me up top. "No." I moaned, "I want to rest more."

"Come on, Sleeping Beauty we need to go." He smiled at me and pulled me forward. I blushed a boy had never called me beautiful before. He took my hand and we picked our way toward the jungle.

Ralph lowered himself down a few feet of rock and he helped me get down too and walked toward the beach. Ralph had taken off his gray school sweeter and I took off my blue one. My short skirt and long legs were very dirty. I was just noticing the long scar the plane had made in the jungle, when a voice called out behind us.

"Hi!" the voice said, "Wait for me"

Rain started to fall and Ralph sat down and took off his long socks. The voice caught up to us, panting," I got caught up in all these creeper things." The boy was plump, short and had a pair of thick spectacles on his nose. "Where is the man with the megaphone", he said. I had forgotten about him.

Ralph spoke up, "I think we are on an island, see the reef out in the sea. Perhaps there aren't any grownups anywhere." Ralph looked startled.

"Aren't there any grownups at all?" the boy said.

"I don't think so." Ralph replied, as he made his way to the water. Ralph took off his shirt and shorts and started to walk into the sea. I looked at Ralph's very defined chest and arms. I was stunned, no wonder the boy could pick me up he was in great shape.

"What's your names?" the boy said and I stopped staring at Ralph.

"I'm Samantha and that is Ralph." I said and smiled, "What is your name?"

"I don't care what they call me, so long as they don't call me what they used to call me at school."

"What is that?" Ralph yelled.

'Piggy" he whispered.

"Piggy! Piggy!" Ralph laughed. I gave him a look, so he stopped. "Are you coming in?"

"My auntie told me not to swim because of my asthma." Piggy said.

"Ass-mar?" Ralph asked. "Sucks to your ass-mar." I laughed.

"Don't worry, I have it too." I said. Ralph stopped laughing. I look off my skirt and shirt and laid them neatly on a rock. I had on my bra and some little shorts that went under my skirt. Ralph looked stunned, so I smiled at him. I didn't really care what he thought I had an older brother and cousin who had seen me in my undergarments all the time and they didn't seem to care. I didn't have much of anything anyways. I was kinda skinny. My hair was blackish-brown and shoulder length. I had green eyes which I thought were pretty but my friend called them swamp colored.

I dove in and felt the cool water against my skin. I swum out a little further and started to float when I felt Ralph's hands surround me. He dragged me under. I laughed and pushed him away. "Stop!" I laughed.

"What?" he replied and my hands slipped up his arm feeling his muscles. He held on to me and blushed.

"Your really strong." I whispered.

"Well, I am 14. Wait, how old are you?" I squirmed in his arms.

"14" I say trying to swim away. He was much stronger then me and pulled me close. "Your beau-" he didn't get to finish because Piggy yelled, "Guys, look at this!" He held up a big conch shell, showing it off to us. I looked at Ralph, who rolled his eyes and started to walk, in still holding my hand.

"Ralph!" Piggy said, "We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting, they'll come when they hear us."

Piggy was beaming. I put my shoulder length hair into a bun and then put my skirt and shirt back on. Ralph had his shorts and unbuttoned shirt on and Piggy held his windbreaker and shoes. I grabbed Ralph's and my sweaters, shoes and Ralph's socks. I stood next to him and he took the conch out of Piggy's hands, he then examined it and pushed his fair hair back. He put the small part of the shell to his mouth and blew. Nothing happened so he wiped the salt water off of his lips and blew harder and a low sound came out of the shell.

After a few minutes, boys started coming out of the jungle. The first was a little boy about six, who came running into my arms.

"What's your name?" I asked picking him up and patting him on the back.

"Johnny." He said between tears. I hugged him tighter and looked at Ralph who smiled at me. Others came rushed out and I noticed a dark figure walking down the beach. As it came closer, I realized it was the choir in their robes led none other than Jack himself.
