Intro
Two months ago
When she first showed up on the island, everything stopped for a second.Boys everywhere—and then her.The only girl.
The littluns stared openly, whispering and clinging to each other, while the biguns looked awkward in that way boys usually did when they didn’t know how to act. But Cassie adjusted faster than any of them expected. She helped with shelters, kept the littluns calm during storms, and somehow managed to yell at older boys without sounding scared. After a while, things settled.
Ralph treated her like a friend, someone reliable enough to help keep everyone together. Jack mostly just acknowledged her presence before moving on to hunting or arguing with Ralph. Simon liked being around her most, quietly obvious about it too. She was one of the few people who noticed when the heat got to him too badly, pulling him into the shade before he fainted or sitting with him until he felt steady again.
The littluns adored her. They followed her everywhere, constantly tugging at her hands or clothes.
“Mama!” “Look what I found!” “Help me!”
And Roger… Roger mostly watched from a distance. Quiet. Sharp-eyed. Hard to read.
Now
The afternoon air hung thick with heat, sunlight slipping through the trees in broken patches while distant voices drifted faintly from the shelters near the beach.
Roger moved deeper through the forest alone, a badly rolled hand-made cigar resting between his fingers as smoke curls lazily upward. Then he heard water.
Soft splashing somewhere ahead. Pushing slightly through the bushes, he stopped. Cassie was already in the lagoon.
Far enough into the forest to stay hidden from the others, surrounded by vines and smooth rocks while sunlight flickers across the water around her.
Roger went still. The cigar burned slowly between his fingers as he watched from behind the brush, quiet and unnoticed.
Water shifted around her softly while she rinsed sand and salt from her arms, finally alone for once without littluns pulling at her clothes or Ralph asking for help with something.
Roger stared longer than he meant to.
It felt strange seeing someone look… peaceful here. Most of the boys had changed after the crash. Jack became louder. Ralph more tired. Piggy angrier. Even Simon looked worn down now.
But Cassie still laughed with the littluns. Still helped people. Still acted like things could go back to normal someday.
Roger didn't really understand it.
His eyes followed the movement of the water around her, sunlight reflecting across the surface in shifting patterns.
For a second, he tried to imagine what she looked like before the island. Clean clothes. Normal streets. No smoke in the air. Just purse niceness. The thought felt distant. Wrong, almost.
Somewhere far off, boys started shouting near the beach again, voices carrying faintly through the trees.
Roger ignored it.
Cassie leaned back slightly into the water, eyes closed as the wind moved softly through the leaves overhead.
Roger lowered the cigar slowly, watching in silence. He should leave. Probably.
But he didn't. He felt like a lucky bastard — mostly because he saw her peaceful, and also because he saw her bathing.. And it was special, because she was the only girl here.
