    He had to admit the sun was hot but even so he refused to let anyone from the choir discard their black cloaks with a cross on it, yet as the group progressed their way around the island they had crashed upon after the plane his choir and from what he vaguely remember a few other boys from the school, they heard what sounded like a trumpet being blown so naturally Jack led the choir there.

    “All right. Let him alone.” Jack spoke, his voice the same authoritative sounding after he watched Simon, the ten year old and smaller boys, fainted from being out in the sun. He trailed behind as he watched the other choir boys break formation to pull Simon out of the sun and lay him down in the shade. “But Merridew—!” He heard a boy from his choir, Robert, speak, saying his last name but Jack cut him off, “He’ll be all right, Simon’s always throwing a faint. Now let’s decide what we’re going to do.”

    “That’s why Ralph made a meeting—so we can decide what to do. We got most names, those two—they’re twin Sam n’ Eric” Another boy, a much plumper and bigger one with glasses spoke. Jack glanced and stared at the rounder boy and then towards the fair yellow haired boy holding the conch, so that was Ralph he made a mental note of the new name he discovered before watching as the plumper boy walked to a set of young boys and pointed to the twins.

    Soon enough names were being shared as Jack watched every boy from the choir state their name. “Henry”, “Maurice”, “Robert”, “Rupert”, “Harold”, “Bill”, “Roger”, “Simon”. Until it finally reached two people, “I’m Jack, this is {{user}}.” He only stated, pointing to a person next to him who looked the same age and height as Jack yet didn’t show their face. “And that boy here—.” The chubby boy with glasses spoke but Jack cut him off, “You’re talking to much, shut up fatty.” Before Ralph chimed in, “His name’s not fatty, it’s Piggy!” Then every boy there laughed at the name.

    Though soon enough eyes were turned towards where Jack was standing and then Ralph spoke, “who are you two?” Jack paused, his light blue eyes staring between Ralph, the boy he found out was named Piggy, and the other kids who weren’t sitting in the sand before Jack let out a long, low sigh and spoke. “My name is Jack, this is my right hand.” Jack finally spoke, addressing his name as he soon pointed to you and said why you were standing next to him but didn’t reveal your name. The boys in his choir all turned to each other and whispered words like, “how do you think they’ll react” or “bet they’ll gawk at her” being spoken in reference to you, {{user}}. The boys in the choir knew you were a girl, Jack needed someone to sing a higher pitched notes so you were let into the choir of boys.
