Eric sat under the big tree in the jungle. Just thinking. He did that a lot. Eric thought about how he preferred being on that island than at home with that jackass of a father. Really he didn't care if he was rich or not. Many people thought having money made you happy. Well he wasn't. He didn't even know the meaning of the word.

His dad beat him only when he was drunk. Get this, he was always drunk. People on that island pissed Eric off. They always thought 'oh he's being a spoiled brat' or 'Eric you're a jerk.' Well maybe he knew he was. What pissed him off the most was that everyone thought that he had a perfect life. Yeah right. No one on that island had a perfect life. Most days he lied saying how much he wanted to go home. Eric's a teriffic actor. Been doing it for years. Why change now?

Until the time is right. He'll go on acting like he always does."Jerky, screw up Eric." Until everyone realizes that there's more that meets the eye.
