Jess

Oh Taylor. What am I going to do with you? How could you hurt Alex? Poor thing, all he did was wander off.

Alex said something like this probably happened but I didn't believe her. Taylor probably doesn't even know the boy she attacked shared a name with her beloved Alex. Who just brushed off her violence like it was nothing.

I tried to interrogate Taylor but she wouldn't talk. And Alex ran off somewhere and I bet she's with Jack. All I know is she better not be flirting with him because if she is then she'll blow our cover. And I swear on everything I'll kill her.

On the brighter side of things Ralph and I talked for about an hour until it got dark. Then I went to lay down with Kam and went to sleep. Ralph was talking to Simon and that boy everyone calls Piggy. Those twins from earlier were sleeping near us.

Finally Alex came out of the woods then sat down next to Ralph. If I didn't know any better I'd think she was hanging out with him and excluding Jack to make him jealous. What the hell?

Oops, being on an island has me cussing. Next thing you know I'll be sleeping with every guy here. Then I'd be the next Paige. Who happens to be one of Alex's friends.

Wait a minute. Is Taylor over there too now? Dude what is going on? Don't they realize we're on a island with a bunch of boys and the oldest is 16? We are in danger, why else would I continue to have us act like boys?

Ugh, fine then if they want to be stupid they can leave me out of it.

Tomorrow we need to make shelters so we aren't just sleeping on the sand by the ocean. Though it is relaxing.

...

I woke up to the sound of waves. Dazedly looking around I saw that sometime in the night Alex and Taylor came and slept by us.

Picking myself up I slowly walked over to Ralph. He and Jack were talking about something before I came up. At the sudden silence I raised an eyebrow.

"Keeping secrets. How rude." Pretending to shake my head disappointingly I saw them both trying not to laugh.

"Actually we were talking about your brother." Jack so boldly stated. Narrowing my eyes I looked him over. Then thought about how I could cover for her.

"What about him?"

"Well at first I asked Alex to join my hunters. He said that he would only if your brother could too."

Shrugging his shoulders he went on his merry way to talk to Roger. When I looked at Ralph I guess I had a 'So what' look on my face because suddenly he felt the need to explain.

"I was just telling him that he should ask you before he just kidnaps your brother. That's why we stopped talking when you walked up."

Nodding I walked off to watch some of the little kids. Sitting down the boy with the glasses, I refuse to call him Piggy, decided to start a conversation. About Shakespeare!

At least he's intelligent. I wonder what his name is. And why people call him piggy. In reality he isn't that big. Seriously have you seen some of those Americans! 600 pounds! They probably cant get out of their beds. Now that is fat. Of course I wont judge their personality on their weight. Just saying. He's not big enough to be called Piggy.

…...

Taylor

There she goes again. Running off to watch those kids like she their mother. I guess that is partly my fault. She wouldn't be so overprotective if I hadn't of went with Mother that day.

But Mother taught me how to survive in the real world. Our father wasn't a real man. Jess was taking care of us without his help. She was a good mom for her age.

Of course I had always liked Mother more than father. She might not have acted like aunt Jolene, but that's probably why aunt Jolene's ex-husband is in jail, and Mother is hiding to stay out of jail.

I don't regret my time with her. The only thing is I wish Jess wouldn't look at me the way she does when she thinks I don't notice.

That's why I'm around Alex all the time. Even Kam, because Kam is weird. She never judges anyone. This island is nice. No one here ever looks at me like I'm a character out of some story.

Except that Roger kid. He's always looking at me. Hopefully he cant tell I'm a girl. That would be pretty bad. Although he is kinda cute in a dark way.

Ah here's my cave oh and there is my sweet little pig. I'm going to call you Wilbur. To bad if I get in a mood there wont be any Charlotte to save you. But for now I'll keep you as my pet. I should put some camouflage up so no one else can find my cave. Maybe I'll tell Alex about it later.

…...

Kam

Simon disappeared so I'm kinda bored. Alex and Taylor are getting ready to go hunting with Jake, I think that's his name, and his hunters.

Jess is watching tiny people so she's out. Guess that leaves me to myself. Maybe I'll find something interesting to do in the forest.

And hopefully nothing poisonous or deadly.

Like these really weird looking trees that have this sticky cotton stuff coming out of them. Hmm I could probably make something out of this. Oh towels, or even better blankets. I should get started now.

…...

Alex

That was a waste of like 5 hours of my life.

Not only did we not catch a pig but we didn't even find one. All of those boys were being too damn loud. And Jack wanted to get slapped so hard today.

Not only did he insult me yesterday but today he had the audacity to tell me and Taylor in front of the choir, that since we were outsiders we had to go through a trial before we could really be a hunter.

He had us climbing trees, which considering last night he already knew I could do. We had to race several boy, and naturally we beat them all. And we had to 'fight' with one of them to prove our strength.

It was nice to see the smirk wiped off his face though when I knocked Bill, who is twice my size, down in about 3 minutes. Thank you sensei.

When Bill was complaining about me hitting him to hard I had to hold back my laughter. Then I shot Jack a look.

Fragile huh.

Remember today Jack because when the time comes and I have the opportunity I am coming for you.

But first I have to block that one guy Roger from staring Taylor down.

She hasn't said anything but I know she's noticed and I know she is not happy. She wanted to show me something earlier so hopefully I can get her to talk and leave that rule of talking to much off the island.

That's one of the main things that make me mad when I think of her mother. The rest I can deal with. I know that there are crazy people out there. Hell I lived with one most of my life. And no I'm not talking about Taylor.

As we came back into camp I looked around for Jess and Kam. Finding Jess watching kids I walked over and 'politely' interrupted her conversation with Piggy. Well politely for me anyway.

"Where's Cam?" Jess gave me a look.

"Alex that was rude. I was having a conversation with him, don't just interrupt. Anyway Cam should be right over there by those trees with Simon." She started to go back to her conversation but I put my hand up to hold it.

"Right by what trees? And I don't see Simon anywhere either." Huffing she stood up and looked around. And realized that Kam was not where she said she was or anywhere on the beach.

"Oh no. Hey can we finish this later? I need to help him find his brother." Piggy waved her off, and we started the search.

Grabbing Taylor along the way we broke up and scoured the forest. Damn it this is why she's suppose to tell someone when she's going somewhere. I have no doubt in my mind she's lost.

…...

Kam

Okay it's official now. I'm lost. I'm so freaking lost that I don't even know where those trees I was by a minute ago are. But if those hunters are still out then maybe if I yell loud enough Alex will hear me.

"Alex! Alex! Taylor! Alex!"

"KAMERON STACY CHEM!" Oh shit. Run!

"YOU BETTER NOT TRY TO RUN FROM ME!" Nooooo. I'm to young to die.

"KAMERON!" Wincing I replied.

"Ma'am." Oh great now my accent is acting up.

Alex stormed into the clearing with Taylor and Jess close behind. Oh crap it was a search party. That means I was lost long enough for Alex to come back, Jess to say I was gone, and all of them to turn over every rock in the forest up until this point.

She just motioned me to come closer. When I did she grabbed me by the ear and dragged me all the way back to camp. Which was actually pretty far.

All the boys including Simon were back when we made our entrance. I wont be able to look any of them in the eye for a month.

Ralph looked like he was trying not to laugh for my sake. "So uh I guess you guys found him."

Alex looked at him weird. "How did you know he was gone?"

"Piggy told me because he was worried the same thing that happened to the kid would happen to him." Well hopefully since I'm her cousin it wont. That would suck.
