Greetings, fanfiction readers! It's great to be writing this new story!
Jack: (appears) What story!
Me: Jack, go away! You're not supposed to be here yet!
Jack: Does it look like I care? I'm Chief on the island, so I can do whatever I want!
Me: Actually, you do whatever I want! (Makes Jack kiss me)
Jack: Hey, that's not fair! I thought-
Me: Yes, you do fall in love. Now go away. Is Simon dead yet?
Ralph: (randomly appearing) Sorry, SideshowJazz1, he is. But I'm not.
Me: Now, on with the show!
"Wake up! Wake up!"
She woke up and the plane was being buffeted from side to side. "What's happening?" she asked him, her voice trembling with nerves and fear.
"We're gonna crash!" he told her. She began to scream, as the plane began to descent, plummetting down, down, down...
And then-suddenly, a cry, a splash, a dream, a flash, and endless black.
One boy at last found himself on the beach, wondering what to do. They'd all been on a plane on a school trip, and then it had gone down, with mostly only teenagers of fifteen and sixteen on it.
"Hey! Is anyone else here?" called a girl's voice from behind him. The boy turned to see a classmate, a girl with chin-length brown hair with natural blonde streaks.
"Hey, Mike." she smiled when she saw him. "What happened?
"The plane crashed." Mike said briefly. "What else, Katie?"
Katie scowled. "Well, at least neither of us are the only one here." She gave another smile. "Plus I still have a book with me, even if it's English reading." She held up Lord of The Flies, and then smirked. "Hey, isn't this cliché? I have a book about being on an island and we're on an island." She began to sing softly "This island is your island, this island is my island, from the small clearing to the fire burnt mountain..."
"Shut up, Katie." Mike muttered quietly.
Katie ignored him. "From the assembly platform, to Castle Roooooock...this island was made for you and me. So, anyway, got anything to call anyone with? A conch, or an instrument, or something?"
At last Mike listened to her. "Would there be a conch around here? And would it be OK to blow? I have a Swiss Army knife to put a hole in it."
"Bet there'd be one. After all, this is like the book." After ten minutes of searching, Katie was about to give up, when she saw a tiny little conch shell. "Hey, Mike, I found one!" She passed it to him. "You could call the others."
"You found it, you blow it." Mike told her. He tried to give it back, but she wouldn't take it.
"I can't even blow up a balloon." she explained. "I did once, but that was up to a tiny size."
Mike decided to believe her, and blew with the desired sound first time. And sure enough, people came. First a group of girls. Then a girl surrounded by boys. Then a group of boys. Some of them even ran when they saw they were headed towards people. All of them recognized each other.
There were twenty-five different teenagers that had set out on the plane, and all of them turned up. After Katie, there was also Blossom, Bella, Abby, Heather, Vicky, Rosie, Nikki, Sara, Carly, Georgia and Jessica as far as the girls went. The other boys after Mike were Lee, Jacob, Dan, Drew, Callum, Oliver, Taj, Ace, Rhys, Rocky, Jude and Sacha.
Katie immediately ran to her friends and hugged everyone. "I was so scared with the plane, and stuff...I'm so glad you guys are OK!" Then she frowned. "Wait...are there any of the teachers, or the pilot?"
Carly, who was talking to Mike, looked up. "There's no trace of any of the staff or air crew on here. I didn't even see what happened to the plane."
"Did anyone else?" called Mike. There was no answer.
"What's gonna happen to us?" Katie asked nervously. She might have seemed sure of herself, but she was terrified, really.
Everyone started talking again. Mike had to take charge.
Then Bella interrupted "This is just like Lord of the Flies, even down to the conch shell! We need to start it off like it was, but not let it turn into how it happened. So should we vote a leader?"
"Let's have it like class captains." suggested Katie. "Say, nominations?"
Blossom nudged her. "I think it's already decided that Mike is leader, with the whole conch thing."
"Are you sure?" Katie whispered.
"Why not?" asked Carly, overhearing. "Everyone likes him enough."
"You think you could do a better job, Katie?" sneered Lee.
"No." Katie answered shortly. "Mike it is, I guess. What happens next?"
"Shall we run this like LotF?" called out Nikki.
"Okay then." Mike decided. "So whoever has this-" he held up the conch- "gets to talk. So anyway, I think some of us should actually check that this is an island. I'll go, and Taj, you come too, since you have the best sense of direction. Who else-Sara, you? Anyone else?"
In the end, as well as Mike, Taj and Sara, Carly and Jacob went. Heather was momentarily put in charge. At that point, everyone went around to do their own thing. Well, everyone except Katie went swimming. She found a shady place on the beach and read her book, even though she knew the story off by heart.
