Day 9

We found the beastie! Well at least the boys think they did, I couldn’t go off with em because of my asthma. Whenever I stay back from the boys when they go around the mountain, I like to go in the water and just relax. I’m afraid the boys would call me fat if I went swimming when they are there. I’ve gotten a real nice tan too. I like when the boys go off. It’s peaceful. They say we can’t build a fire on the mountain now because the beastie is up there, but I still don’t really think the beastie is for sure real. When they got back Jack and Ralph got into another fight and I don’t know what it was over. I don’t even bother to ask. Jack called an assembly though which I didn’t like because Ralph was the one that called assemblies. Jack got all upset because he wanted a new vote on who would be the new chief and nobody voted for him. He started crying and such and left our side of the island. He said to the boys if they want to go off and have fun and hunt then they know where to find him. Most of the biguns left to go onto Jack’s side. I don’t agree with their decision but whatever. All the biguns left are me, Ralph, and Samneric. Jack offered for us to join his side of the island for a feast, I didn’t really want to because I don’t like Jack, he can stay on his side of the island, far away from me. When we were at the feast we started doing that crazy dance thing, I don’t know why but maybe because it looked like it was going to rain. They started the dance and there was someone in the middle and I didn’t know who it was at first but it was Simon, and we killed him. It was an accident though I swear! We didn’t mean to! It was just in the moment and it just happened! Ralph feels real bad about it but I keep tellin him it was an accident! There ain’t nothing we can do now to get Simon back. And it was his fault for coming out of the forest like he did an such. There just nothing we can do now.Ralph is getting all crazy and he wanna go home, but who doesn’t. I miss my auntie, I miss how she sang to me when I was upset and would hug me so tight. I wonder if she misses me too. I bet she does. I wish this island had candy. I miss my old life. I didn’t mind waking up early and going to school, it was fun. Auntie would always cook me breakfast, my favorite was biscuits n gravy with grapes on the side. I would kill to have that right now, heck I was already apart of a killing! Last night Jack and his boys came and tried to hurt me, callin my name an such. I didn’t make no noise though, I stayed quiet like a mouse. They hurt us though, and they got my specs! I can hardly see anything now, Ralph and Samneric have to lead me around. The four of us is going to Jack’s side of the island to try an get my specs back and we also gon show him that we have the conch, something he don’t have. I don’t know how it’s gonna go, but I just hope I can get my specs back.
