"You think she's dead?"

"Why would she be dead? She was alive yesterday."

"But look at her face! It's the face of a dead persons face!"

"Now that I look at it..."

"See I told you! She is dead!"

"No just because her face is ugly doesn't mean the shes dead, it just means they're ugly."

"I guess you're right."

"I know I'm right," he said triumphantly, puffing out his bony chest as if he just won the world cup. The other boy frowned. Suddenly, a strange noise was heard from below them. Curiously, they turned their head to the source of the noise.

Jen groaned as she sat up straight. Her once tamed black her hair was now frizzy and tangled together. The sun fell onto her face and in attempt to avoid being blinded she scrunched her face into a sour expression and closed her eyes tightly.

"Forget about dead! That's a monster!" Shrieked the older boy running away with the younger boy tailing right behind.

"Stupid kids," Jen muttered annoyingly. Turning away from the blinding sun, she ran her fingers through her hair to get the knots and tangles out. It took some time, but successfully taming the beast that was known as her hair she stood up and walked down the path the two boys had taken.

A sworm of littliuns were running around. Some played in the water while some played on the sand. Jen felt a bit out of place surrounded by so many kids. Being the only child and also being a Sophomore in high school, she's never around kids.

Spotting Ralph and Piggy she felt a sense relief and sauntered over to them. Piggy was the first of the two to notice her approaching them; due to the fact Ralph had his back on her.

"Sup guys," she greeted.

"Hey Jen," Ralph said, returning the smile halfheartedly. Piggy just nodded her way before excusing himself and rushing off to where the littliuns were.

Ralph felt uncomfortable being around her. It's been a while since he last seen a girl, let alone been around one. He didn't know what he was suppose to say to her. Should he try to talk about dresses? Or maybe cooking? He heard girls like the color pink and girly things, such as dresses and shoes. Maybe she'll like them. Opening his mouth to speak and attempt to make conversation, he had quickly closed it shut. Jen had beated him to it.

"So Ralph," she started, glancing at him. "How old are you?"

"I'm twelve," he replied.

"Woah really? I swore you were thirteen or fourteen at most."

"How old are you?"

"I'm fifteen turning sixteen in a few months."

"You're a teenager?" Now it was Ralph's turn to look at her shockingly.

"Yeah," Jen then remembered something and added. "How old is Jack?"

"He-"

"Can answer for himself." Jack emerged from behind green leaves and swaggered towards Jen and Ralph.

Ralph could already feel the tension between the two and they haven't even begun talking.

"I'm waiting-"

"Thirteen," Jack gritted out distastefully.

"Hahaha, I was close."

"What's so funny? I'm probably older than you," he smirked maniacally.

Getting on her feet, Jen grinned as if she knew something he didn't. "And that's where you're wrong, little boy. I'm two years older then you, probably three."

He glared hearing the phrase 'little boy' coming out her mouth, but he was surprised to hear she was fifteen years old. She sure didn't look her age. She looked around his age, but was hoping she was younger.

Suddenly Jen's stomach growled loudly. She then remembered, she hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday.

"What do you guys eat around here?" Jen asked.

"We'll usually eat the fruit from the trees-"

"My hunters and I hunt boars."

"Boars as in pigs?"

"No as in cow." She glared at Jack.

"Well that's disgusting," Jen said, crinkling her nose in distaste.

"Let's see you say that when your tired of eating your stinking fruit, and craving meat again," Jack spat, glaring heatedly.

"We'll see about that, but at the mean time," Jen returned her attention back onto Ralph and added. "Would you mind showing me where this fruit may be? Also while you're at it, tell me where you get your fresh water from."

"Err.. Sure," Ralph replied hesitantly.

"Great."

Before they walked off, Jen looked behind her one last time only to be met with his hard glare.
