This is my very first fanfic! I know I'm not the greatest writer (you'll obviously begin to see that through my work) so I really want reviews! Please bear with me through the beginning because it's usually the worst part in a story (in my opinion). So, please help the poor in writing and review! Thanks! Oh, and I don't own Lord of the Flies, just in case you were wondering. I know my writing is so much like William Golding's (sarcasm).

I had a bad feeling about this school, a really bad feeling. I knew I shouldn't have come and no matter how many times I told my parents, they never listened, of course. I should have stayed at my old school where I knew everyone and where there was no plane crash. I mean, my parents didn't know that the plane would crash, but still. I started walking through the forest through the jungle when I felt my foot sink into something. Great. I've walked on this island for less than 5 minutes and I've already stepped in crap. Lovely. I saw pigs earlier, so I figured it must have been one of theirs. Anyway, let's stop talking about pigshit.

Before I could go off exploring, I heard the blasting of a horn or something. It blew repeatedly, so I was easily able to follow it. I found a large semi-circle of boys. All my age (sophomores) and ALL boys. I should have known, the plane was going to an all-boys school. Well, almost all boys. My parents made a few calls and put in some extra money to send me to an all-boys school, even though I'm a girl (my dad's job makes us move to different places and there wasn't another school for 50 miles ). However, this was my first year, so I hadn't met any of the boys yet. What a fantastic way to introduce ourselves: on a deserted island all alone.

As I approached the group, they noticed me and gaped as if they'd just found the last girl on Earth. I noticed how similar their uniforms were to mine, which had to be altered for a girl. They all had navy blue pants with a white shirt and a navy blue jacket with red lining around the pockets and bottom. Their red striped ties were loosened around their necks, which was the same as mine. I was wearing a plain navy blue skirt with red lining on the bottom and a white shirt as well. My knee-highs were navy blue and I was wearing black flats. Instead of a jacket like the boys, I was given a sweater to go with my ensemble. No one said anything, so I had to step up to stop the awkward silence. "Hi." At least that got someone to say something.

A boy with blonde fair hair who was holding the conch (the "horn") spoke. "Hello. Um, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but why were you on a plane to an all-boys school?" It wasn't exactly what I'd hoped someone would first say to me, but I went with it.

"My parents pulled a few strings to get me to go to your school this year. It's almost an all-boys school, now. So, anyway, hello classmates." Quiet. Obviously, no one here can take a hint. "I'm Valerie."

The boy with the cream shell spoke again (I just realized that he was pretty cute). "I'm Ralph and I was just chosen chief. You'll get to know everyone as we go along." I gave a nod and took a seat. "Alright guys, I haven't seen anyone else on the island, and if they were, they would probably have come by now. So, we're going to need rules if we're going to get by. Got that?" There were snickers, but no objections. "One thing is that in order to speak during assemblies, you need the conch, just so that we don't have everyone talking at once. Also, we're going to need jobs, but we'll worry about that lat-"

"The choir and I will be hunters," interrupted a voice. He walked up and snatched the conch. This boy had fiery red hair, icy blue eyes, and quite the attitude. Also, he was kind of hot, but in a badass/dangerous/douchebag way. "Isn't that right boys?" he asked, looking over at a group of boys with black cloaks draped over their blazers. They nodded nervously.

"Okay," said Ralph, grabbing back the conch. "But we'll start our jobs tomorrow. Today, we explore. We're not even sure if this is actually an island. So that we don't get all mixed up, I'll choose a few people to go with me. How about…" his eyes scanned the crowd of children. "Jack…" As Jack stood up, I realized that he was the boy with red hair. "Simon…" I noticed that he was a boy with black hair and sparkly green eyes. " … and…what about you Valerie? Do you like adventure?"

"I wouldn't mind it," I answered, trying to stand up so that no one would get a peek up my skirt.

"Awesome," he replied. "We'll try to be back before dark. Remember, no wandering. Well, not far." I started to follow the group when I noticed a rather chubby kid go up to Ralph looking rather upset. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but the chubby kid didn't seem to get any happier.

"Is he alright?" I asked.

"Who, Piggy? Yeah, he's fine," Ralph replied. "Well, he'll be fine. Anyway, we should start exploring now. Don't want to get lost in the dark."
