"Boys can't get raped." "Boys can't cry." Some people just don't know. [ 2017 ]

Ralph started life on the island as a small, unsure boy who was thrust into the position of leader. They called him Chief, but he did not feel worthy of their respect. He was constantly challenged and threatened by a fiery opposing force called Jack Merridew, head chorister and bully. Jack and Ralph butted heads to the point of violence. But after nearly six long years stranded, Ralph learned to fight back. He chased the savages back to castle rock and drew borders. He regained his tribe. Now at age 18, he had grown from a small boy to a golden, chiseled chief who stood 6'0. He was admired by all, even those who despised him... One day an accidental encounter with the hunters and their savage leader will shake up Ralph's whole world. As Jack reignites old rivalry and passion, Ralph struggles to find what he truly wants. Will he resist the savage's advances or fall prey to old romance?

Everyone knows what happened to Jack Merridew in William Goulding's novel "Lord of the Flies," but what happened before that? What was his life like before the island? How did he become the "chapter chorister and head boy" that he is in the novel? This is the story of Jack's life before the island -- how he made the choir, when he became head boy, and everything in between -- and after the island. Because the question is, who was the real Jack Merridew? (There is some mild language in this story -- nothing too bad, I feel I have to say it just in case)(I do not own Lord of the Flies or it's characters. They belong to Sir William Golding)

I need to barf out thoughts to people who actually know what I'm talking about. Memes, one shots, you name it.

It's been eight years since the two boys, Ralph and Jack, have gotten off of the island. Little did they know that after re encountering one another they might develop feelings towards each other.
