lolitas POV

I woke up to the sun seeping through the small hut. Light snoring was heard from across the hut, I followed it til I saw Ralph's tan body Sprawled across the floor. I smiled at how he let me share, it was a kind gesture. He began to stir, so I sat up, waiting for him to speak. He rubbed his eyes and stretched out, giving me a strange look before he remembered my existence.

"Morning Lolita"
"Morning Ralph"

He smiled and got up, walking out of the hut. I waited for a few minutes, before making my way out into the beaming heat of the island. The sand was boiling to my feet, i winced in pain, talking long, fast strides til I made the shade a couple metres up the beach. I saw mostly all of the boys up in the distance gathered around, I decided it was right for me to follow.

"So how's the island treating you?" I jumped at his voice. It was then that I noticed how blue jacks eyes were, like the ocean, they were pretty, almost too pretty.

"Uh good? I'm bloody hot in this gown though, and the sand burns my feet."
He laughed at my reply, rubbing my shoulder and proceeding to walk with me to the huddle of boys.

"We'll find you something better to wear don't worry, and you'll get used to the sand. It's been two years and it still burns sometimes." I nodded and turned to the small assembly infront of me.

Two rows of boys a few years younger all sat in the rich green grass, as Ralph stood by scowling when he noticed us.

"Jack, you're late!" He shouted, clearly irritated at his absence.

"Sorry Ralph, I was looking out for Lolita, the new girl you decided to ditch!"

"You're impossible jack!"

"Can you guys stop? You sound like a married couple" a young boy with dark hair and eyes said, earning sniggers and a scowl from both the boys.

"Anyway, Come join us, were about to decide whether to move our living arrangements deeper into the forest" Ralph called us both over, as we took a seat in the sand, in the shade.

"I think it's a great idea, we need the change" jack said, along with other boys infront of us.

"What about you Lolita, you are our latest resident?"

"Sounds good"

"So it's settled, we'll begin work tomorrow" everyone cheered and made their way into the forest or on the beach, clearly knowing what else to do.

"Let's get you a new outfit then, Lolita" jack mentioned, guiding me towards one of the huts. I'm beginning to feel right at home here.
