The Glade
He looked up and saw a boy. The boy seemed to be around his age, but had darker skin color. He couldn't see anyone else.
"Are you awake?" asked the older boy.
"I think," said Newt.
"My names Alby," said the boy.
"I think my name's Newt," said Newt with his British accent.
"Nice to meet you Newt, get up so I can show you around the glade." Said Alby.
The glade was an open field there wasn't much because Alby said he was the first one here and that I was the fifth person here. I was asking a lot of questions and Alby said that he could only answer one at a time.
"Why are we here?" asked Newt.
"I wish I could answer that question, shank."
"So no one else knows why we're here?"
"That's about it, shank."
The boys left to go have lunch and Newt meet someone new from the glade, his name was Nick. There were about two other boys but they were eating alone. Alby told me their names were James and Wes. Alby said that he had been here for five months and he had some ideas about building some places and if there are more coming that they should assign jobs to people.
"What kind of jobs?" asked Nick.
"I don't know, maybe a person for the gardens, someone to take care and kill the animals." Said Alby.
"You know we could problem use someone to run out in the maze and find a place out," suggested Newt.
"Hey that's a shucking good idea!" screamed out Nick.
"We could also use someone to help out the injured shanks," said James coming over with Wes to eat with the other boys.
Newt never heard James talk before and he had this deep voice, he couldn't place what kind of accent he had.
"Know we're talking," said Alby. In that conversation they created a whole community.
They slowly started building all the buildings. They didn't have much but they created a homestead where everyone slept, there was the food shack where a new greenie named Frypan worked. Frypan wasn't the best cook but he did make the food eatable. Then they created the Fields where everything was grown, everyone put some time in the Field because there wasn't a keeper for the field. They also created a map room for the runners, when they can back from the maze they would record the new patterns they found in the maze, they would use little sticks to represent the walls of the maze. Then can the council hall were someone came to make an announcement or to call a gathering. There was the pit where the greenie would spend the first night or when a Glader is a harm to other Gladers. The wall was somewhere where a new Greeine would go carve their name in the wall of the maze, when a Glader died they would cross out their name. At last the made a lookout tree to see the whole Glade. The number one rule in the Glade is you have to do your part in the Glade, second rule, don't harm a fellow Glader.
There were new greenies coming in and out, but there was a specific one that bought Newt's attention. The shanks name was Minho. Minho wasn't like the other greenies, the other greenies were always and I mean always asking questions, but Minho just understood the situation. There was another thing, Minho would always make sarcastic comments, and the shank would not shut up sometimes. Other than that Minho made a pretty good runner. Newt would sometimes run with Minho in the maze.
"So no one knows that were here?" asked the new Greenie of the month, and his name Winston.
"Yeah, that's about it, I think that they left us here to rot and die alone," said Minho, he was last month's Greenie so he had to show the new one around.
"Minho don't scare the Greenie," said Newt giving his hand to the new greenie.
"My names Newt and I'm the second-in-command. That means if Alby or Nick go missing then I'm in charge." Said Newt while the new Greenie shook Newts hand.
"Oh please Newt you say that to everyone and we both know that those shanks aren't going anywhere," said Minho with a smirk.
"You know Minho I would watch it because I'm the only shank that has agreed not to throw you into the maze,"
"If you guys threw me in the maze, I would find a way out," said Minho laughing.
"Sure you would and you would marry a beautiful girl once you found a way out," said Newt sarcastily.
"Hey, there's someone else in the box!" screamed out Frypan.
"What! There can't be we already have a greenie." Said Alby.
"Well there is," said Nick who was in the box taking things out with Frypan.
"It's a girl," said Frypan.
