Useless Team Mates

Me and Simon where the only ones doing anything. We were building huts, for everyone, with no help from anyone. We were collecting fruit for everyone with no help from anyone. Seriously this is ridiculous that no one else will do anything but have fun. We are on a island with no civilization anywhere around. No help from any parents and the kids just don't understand that. They just assumed that, just like at home, everything would be done for them. Then Jack had to go and be furtive and sneak up on me and Simon while we where trying to build.

Me and Jack started to fight, it was inscrutable what we were fighting about. First it was about food then it was about huts then for some reason we started to agree with each other and went on a walk. When we got back from the walk we were bewildered to find that Simon had gone. When we went on the walk we both realized that the Jungle was full of tendril and was festoon with tons of flowers. Jack suggested that we should make spears with barbs on them to make it easier to hunt with. He seemed really frustrated that he hadn't killed a pig or gotten meat yet.

At times I am afraid that Jack will just snap and kill some of the kids. Sometimes it seems like he is going to kill me only when I am talking to him. He seems very violent and since he is the only one on this island with a knife. Just the thought that he has a knife puts me on edge sometimes. Since I am the leader it is my job to worry. Sometimes I feel like a mother, but I assume thats what leaders always feel like. Hopefully if we call a meeting in the next few days, we can get everyone working and hunting and helping us survive till we can finally get rescued.
