Beastie?

Ralph called a meeting today. But it was different this time…it was at night. I was scared at first because I’m not used to be around others during the night I usually go to a place in the forest and rest and have some me time. I think it was ludicrous. He said that he wanted to make rules because he is the leader. It’s about time he started acting like one. At first he just thought that since there were no adults around that it could be all fun and games, but instead it wasn’t that fun. It was all good at first and everyone was nice to each other. But now there’s kids throwing sand at each other and they’re throwing objects and just acting like if they didn't even have decorum. Since they were throwing sand Percival was lamentating. I love the littluns and I want to help them in any way I possibly can but I don’t think that’s working.
Finally Ralph told the others the rules. He said something’s that I didn’t even know that the littluns were doing. I was practically surprised the whole time. At least now we would be working together and we’ll pay more attention to what we are doing to make sure that It doesn’t affect the ones around us. But wait that’s not all…Ralph had one more thing to talk about, the “beastie”. Once he brought that up I was able to see that Jack was acting tempestuously. Kids also started saying their opinions and disobeyed the rules of the conch so all I could here was the decursive chatting of the littluns. I sort of think that this beastie is real because Percival admits that he saw it too. I admitted that I also think it might be real but maybe its not a creature, it might be one of us.
I personally think that this island is driving us all crazy. The long meetings are really long and some people are beginning to space out. And everyone’s being embroiled. I hope the littluns listen to the new rules and obey them, and I think that they should have in mind that if they do something wrong, it might affect everyone around them.
