Selections from LOF Log
Day 2:
So Ben is still knocked out cold. I’m
not exactly sure what’s wrong with him. We explored the island
and found fruit and clean water. Elyssa and
Rebecca managed to salvage some chips, soda, and bagels out of the plane. I
tried to see if the radio still worked, but all I got was static. We also got
some flares from the rescue kit.I guess the plane is
going to be our home for the time being. Lisa went off somewhere looking for
flowers or something, but I don’t know.
Well, Ben just woke up, and he
seems ok. When we explained to him what had happened, he smiled. We all built a
bonfire on the beach with one of the flares and a bunch of driftwood. We sat
around and ate cereal from the plane. We just talked, most of us were excited,
but then Margot began to ramble on and talk about the OC and the Real World. We
all thought about home and even though it was only the second day, we realized
we all missed home.
Suddenly, Rishi
jumped up and babbled on about how we were complaining too much and he started
to try to make an argument that didn’t make any sense.
Spencer hit him with his broken arm, and Rishi sat
down crying. Ben, still a little slow from tehe concussion,
picked up a flare and shot it at Rishi. Fortunately for him, it missed and went onto the mountain. I
couldn’t help but laugh, and everyone started to laugh
too. Rishi stormed off into the forest, and Elyssa followed him, compassionately trying to talk to him.
We were still laughing as we went to the plane cabin to sleep.
Day 4:
We woke up today with the rain
falling through the holes of the cockpit. Margot started to complain about
getting wet, but we ignored her and went outside. Behind the plane, there was a
long trail of dirt + mud. It made the ill mudslide. So,
naturally, Ben christened it, followed by Liz right behind him. I just hung out
on the back of the plane. The rest were reluctant, but after we threw mud at
them, they had no choice. Elyssa got mad that we got
mud on her bag, and went back into the plane to try to fix the holes. Rishi ran after her, but before he could get into the
plane, Ben threw a rock hitting Rishi’s ankle. Rishi fell + broke his glasses on the doorstep. He was ok,
but claimed he was emotionally wounded. No one cared.
Liz
went to check on the rabbits and saw that they had a litter during the night. Spencer
and Rob started to shadow box and fake swordfight, but Spencer “accidentally”
cracked Rob in the head, and he got a bloody nose. Rob ran into the woods after
he threw a rock at Spencer, who punched Rob in the kidney before he ran away. Rob
missed, and he ended up hitting Rebecca. Her and
Arlene chased him, and Lisa got Elyssa and tried to
bring them back. As we walked into the plane, which we fixed, we still heard
Margot whining about the rain.
Day 8:
Noone
slept. There were no fires on the other side last night. I can’t
believe they took
The walls were 4 feel high, made up branches, leaves, and mud. On the
inside, there was a trench along the wall with piles of rocks in certain spots.
Everyone was sleeping on the floor, and there was a campfire in the center. I’m not sure how they lit their fire until I saw a lighter
in Arlene’s pocket. I took it and then I ran back into the bushes.
Soon we heard two people coming
into the fort, talking and laughing. It was Rebecca and Elyssa.
Rebecca was spying on us this whole time, telling Elyssa
about our weapons and strategies. That’s how they snuck up on
In his anger, Ben shot a flare
at Rebecca, and this time it hit her right in the chest. Everyone woke up, and
we ran away quickly. As we were running, I could hear the screams of the
others. I was amazed that Ben had the nerve to actually do
it. I wondered if anyone could have survived such a thing.
