Kicking Roger's leg, hard, Louise signalled someone was coming and Roger pushed Simon away from him. The smaller boy rolled along the platform and leant his head on a log. As the passerby looked at them, it was Jack.

"They both fell asleep." She said, Jack sat next to her on the log and smirked at the two boys.

"You sure they weren't hugging. Cause that would be-"

"No." Was all she said

"Yeah I mean, it's not legal," Jack added, he looked off at the shoreline and didn't seemed phased by the subject. Louise wanted nothing more than to just change it.

"I wish I could sleep." Louise said aloud.

"Why don't you?"

"I find it hard to get to sleep sometimes." She shrugged and Jack stayed silent for a minute.

"Come here." He said gesturing for her to come closer. She obeyed and he pulled her onto his bare chest, her head was snuggled up against him and Louise didn't want to move.

She buried her head on his chest, crying silently. Jack put both of his hands around her, he seemed to understand a form of sympathy and Louise appreciated it, she hadn't been sleeping for last few days because she needed someone to hold her. Not getting that here or at home had hit hard.

She had had a boyfriend before all this bullshit, well, if you could call their relationship that. His name was Mr Henry Richmond and he had been her PE teacher. The two had had a prolonged affair for about four years, sometimes they met up outside school. He would take her away for the weekend and it would be the most fun she ever had, she lost her virginity to him and it meant a lot. But a few months after she turned eighteen, the war broke out and he told her he was being shipped out in a week.

It was also the week he told her that he had a wife, Louise had had plans to marry him once she left school and the news of his current matrimony made her hate everyone and everything. He was the only one that could have consoled her and he was in France or Germany or somewhere. The two had been exchanging letters since he was shipped out and it wasn't until they crashed on the island that it stopped. She hadn't bothered to look for her case with all the letters in it because there was no use in looking for something that she wouldn't find.

When Louise woke up, she was still leaning on Jacks chest, he was awake with dark circles under his eyes.

"You should get some sleep. There's still probably a few hours till daylight comes and the other boys are up." Jack rubbed his eyes as Lousie sat up and yawned. Jack leaned his head on her shoulder and Lousie watched the fire.

As soon as Jack fell asleep, Simon and Roger went into the jungle and to their special place near the water fall. Roger began kissing Simon tenderly and wrapped his arms a round him, the smaller boy happily let him. When Roger pulled away and leant his forehead onto Simon's they breathed heavily for a minute before Simon went up to Roger's neck and began sucking his skin.

It surprised Roger and felt ten times better for it. When it ceased, Simon got up close to Roger's ear and whispered.

"I love you." Simon went back to hugging Roger but he was quickly pushed away by a confused and scared Roger. Simon's eyes filled with tears.

"W-what did I do w-wrong?" He stuttered. But Roger couldn't reply, he could only run away for good, leaving Simon behind him to cry.

If you had asked him right then and there, why? He probably would have punched you in the face or told you to "fuck off" because he was just as scared as Simon. He was scared of what Simon had just said. People didn't tell Roger they loved him, people told Roger they hated him, it didn't work another way round.

Why did Simon have to be so angelic when Roger just wanted to cut and slash and beat and beat and beat and beat. Looking down at his bloody fist, he didn't even realise that he had just been punching a tree.

"Louise, why are we here." Jack moaned as he trekked behind Louise in the undergrowth of the forest the same afternoon.

"We both know that there isn't a beast right? Well I was sure I heard voices. Human, people voices, they weren't animals. They were real people and I know I heard more than two." Louise carried on walking, pushing away the branches so they would snap back into Jack's face.

"Oi. Stop it!" Jack whined.

"Oi. Stop it, calm down." She mimicked with theatrical hand gestures. Jack began muttering insults at her and Louise smiled before stopping abruptly, Jack crashed into her and began swearing.

"Shut up." Louise hissed back at him. She pointed through the bush into a clearing ahead of them, she could see about five people.

Jack was breathing on her neck and leaning his chin on her shoulder, Louise could feel his breath on her neck and closed her eyes momentarily. He got closer her, pressing his chest onto her back, she could feel his groin near her leg and bit the inside of her cheek. Jack's hands travelled up her waist to her chest and he began kissing her neck and when Louise opened her eyes she wasn't in the jungle.

Looking around her, she was back in Henry Richmond's room back at the academy, he walked through the kitchen door and smiled at her.

Louise walked straight up to him and began kissing him, wrapping her arms around his neck and feeling his hands all over her. Henry unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off while Louise unbuttoned the front of her dress and let it fall to her waist. Clashing back into one another, Louise sunk her fingers into his muscled back, running her fingers over his chest and the definition on his stomach.

He tugged at her bra and she quickly had it off before he had he trousers on the floor. Henry lifted her up so her legs were either side his waist, and carried her over to the bed. Slowly placing her down on the bed she giggled and he smiled.

Placing his hands on her hips, he ran them down to her underwear and pressed her sweet spot through the fabric. Causing Louise to bite her bottom lip and close her eyes. Henry pushed her legs apart and pulled aside her pants, when she felt his tongue on her nub it elicited a noise she hadn't heard in a while. Half way between a moan and a cry. She arched her back and was trying to sit up put he pushed her down and she wriggled on the bed.

Opening her eyes she looked down and saw a different face, it was Jack mother fucking Merridew. She yelled, he yelled then she was brought back to the present with Jack kissing her neck and she looked at him weirdly before stepping away.

'Wait what's happening? Why are we here?' She thought. Then she remembered about the other people. Pulling down some of the leaves she saw the people again.

"What if they capture us or something?"

"I have this." He nodded to the feeble wooden spear he was carrying and Louise rolled her eyes.

"We can't look like we were creeping up on them, we have to just stumble upon their camp so, acting faces on. We walk past it talking loudly and then just walk into their camp and act surprised, okay."

"Fine." Jack growled. The two walked out from the undergrowth and began talking loudly about how they wanted to go home and about pigs and hunts and the fire and the mountain and the Lousie walked closer to the camp cautiously. Before stumbling over something and falling headfirst into the ground.

"Ow." She said into the ground. Someone pulled her up and she rubbed her nose, looking up it was an older brown haired boy.

"Oh for God sake Lousie. What are you doing... woah there's more people." She heard Jack behind her put up a pretty convincing surprised act. But he wouldnt be getting any awards any time soon.

"So, did you crash here too?" The brown haired boy asked.

"Yeah." Jack answered as she stood by his side. Louise had only just realised he had the face paint on.

"Theres six of us older ones here. Me, I'm Stephen, that's Brian, Neil, Harry, Will and- well where's Jay?- and Jay but we don't know where he is. Probably fucking a tree of something." Louise sniggered. "Plus about ten little ones."

"Theres a lot of us back on the beach." She told them as they walked over.

"Maybe we should join together. We could always use some more hands and put camp is bigger than yours and we have the signal fire and hunters and all that." Jack added.

"Maybe. Ah, here's Jay." He gestured to a light brown haired boy walking over who seemed to have no cares in the world.

"Who's this then?" I could hear his East London accent straight away, a lot different to the more conservative voices I had been around. Aside from Piggy.

"They crashed here too, they're camped on the beach." One of the other boys told him.

"Why is there a girl here? That plane was full of military men and boys. So why we're you there?" I could tell he was patronising me, but I was used to the other sex not understanding that women could do their jobs just fine.

"And you are?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Jay Fisher." He stuck a hand out and I shook with with a strong grip, he seemed surprised and winced slightly.

"Louise." I returned.

"So why you here then?" His English was frustratingly bad, like Piggy's.

"Why do you need to know?" He glared me.

"Fine, I'm from a military school, one of the only girls ones in the country but it existed. I was on a private task for the British in America, so I can't be telling you any of that." They other boys looked stunned, and looking round. So did Jack.

"You never told me you were on a secret mission for the British!" Jack announced, I shrugged and looked at his shocked face.

"I never needed too, and you never asked." I whispered to him as our new found companions discussed things between themselves.

"Maybe we should go, I don't like the way they're looking at us." I whispered close to Jack's ear.

"They know where we are now. It doesn't matter if we leave, we have to wait to see if they are going to come back to us." He whispered back, I stood a little closer to Jack and a little behind him. I knew there was no point hiding because I didn't need to, but we were completely outnumbered if they decided to do anything. I knew Jack could protect himself and me and I could protect myself but I'd never really faced anyone outside of school and it was completely different.

"Okay. We've decided to come with you." And that was that, with me and Jack at the front. We travelled through the jungle and slowly down onto the beach, I just hoped no one was doing anything stupid. As we heard camp, most of the Bigums were standing up in a protective line in front of the camp and the Littleums.

Roger and Maurice stood in the middle and glared at the oncoming crowd with their faces painted. Jack walked in front of me, in an attempt to address the two groups.

"We've all crashed here and we need all the help we can get. The beach is the best place for camp and with double the power we can get everything done quicker." The two groups nodded.

"Who's to be the leader." One of the boys from the new group yelled. I looked from my group to the other and Ralph stepped forward.

"Me." He declared. "I was voted." The brown haired boy from the new group chuckled.

"That may be so, but we haven't even met. By all accounts I'd want one of these two chief because I've met them." Jack smiled triumphantly at the floor.

"I can see you grinning like a Cheshire cat, Jack." Ralph retorted.

"Why don't we go about normal things for a day or two before making a decision?" I suggested, the light brown haired boy named Jay walked toward me and squared up to me. He was taller than me.

"And who asked you? Your just a girl, your not permitted to make decisions in a war. Bet your father was just rich to get you into that school. Where's daddy now?"

"Dead." I finished it for him and stalked off. I wasn't going to get violent. But I wouldn't let any of them see me cry.
