Chapter 1
"It's a girl!"
"What?! Another girl?!"
"I thought Teresa will be the only girl?!"
"That's shucking impossible!"
"The Creators are shucking us!"
I tremble in fear as more and more voices surrounds me from above, I shiver and tremble as the cold metal beneath me contacts with my skin, Why am I below? Why am I in this... box? Why am I here? I cried. I don't remember anything, I don't remember my name. My breathing starts to get rag and uneven, I don't know where I am... I cried even more, I bit my lower lip so not even the slightest sound can come out of my mouth, I don't want to be here...
The crowds towers her from above making her more terrified. The Glade was full of voices.
She trembles once more and she hugs her legs and places her arms above her knees and buries her face in it.
"What are we going to do?" Asks one of the Gladers.
"Where's Alby?" Asks another one.
"He went into the maze with Minho" one answers
"Where's Newt?"
"No idea..."
"This is a big klunk!"
"Shuck it, We have to continue working, We need to get that greenie out of the Box and continue working" a scratchy voice says. He went in front and opens the box, He jumps in the box and the metal floor vibrates as he lands on it, leaving the the girl startled. He can't drag the Greenie up because she's different, she's a girl that's why... Girls should be treated nicely.
"Greenie" he calls out. No movements.
"Hey, Gally, Just leave her she'll get out of there, eventually" Winston says. The other Gladers nods and agrees with Winston.
"Greenie" He ignores Winston and calls out the girl, She trembles.
"Hey, Shuck face, get up"
"We don't have much time, you need to get your butt off the Box"
"Hey!"
"We don't have much time!"
"I'll pull you out of your place if—"
"Just leave her for awhile, Gally" Troy beams.
"No way, She needs to get out of the box, who knows she might stay here within a week! We won't have our supplies! The Box won't go down when someone is in it" Gally says, The Glade fills up with noises.
"SLIM IT!" A deep voice shouts from a distant. Everyone went to slience and made way for the person.
"It's about time you showed up, Newt" Jeff chuckles and crosses his arms with a smug smirk on his face. The dirty blonde haired boy rubs the back of his neck and let out a yawn.
"I overslept" He makes his way to the front. Gally gets out of the Box.
"What's the bloody problem?" Newt asks Gally.
"We have another Greenbean" Newt didn't seem to be suprise in fact they always have newbies every month. He gives Gally a questioning look.
"So? What's the big deal?" Newt asks, Gally sighs.
"The Greenie is a shucking girl" Newt's eyes widened,
"And you were shouting at her?!"
"What?! I already warned her to get her ass off the Box, she isn't listening!"
"That's not the way to treat a Greenie especially a girl" Newt says. Gally shrugs his shoulders.
"She's still a Greenbean to me, I'm about to pull her out anyways... You take care of this, Second-in-Command" He pats his shoulder and takes his leave.
"BUILDERS BACK TO WORK!" Gally shouts. The builders gather and resume their work.
Newt looks down the Box and went down gently, not wanting to scare the girl.
The girl looks up slowly meeting Newt's gaze. His eyes softens, he held a hand in front of her telling her to calm down.
"Hi, I'm Newt" He smiles.
"Do you remeber your name?" He asks with a soft tone, The girl stares at the floor and shakes her head for a no. He nods.
"You'll get your name back a day or two, Don't worry, It's normal" He smiles at her making her calm down a bit. Newt approaches her slowly and sticks out his hand for her to grab. She brings her hand out trembling and shakily reaching for Newt's hand. She finally places her hand over his and they stand up. He smiles.
"Good that" he says
Suddenly a voice and a loud thump scares the girl making her squeal and jump and hide herself at Newt's chest. He yelps with the sudden action and his face turns red.
"Newt! What are you doing here?!" A boy not so tall than Newt with dark skinned says. Looks like the Runners are back.
"Alby" He breathes. He's loss of words as of the moment, he can't even process what he wants to say cause there's a girl with her head buried on his chest. He stutters for a moment. He wraps his arms around her, He doesn't have a clue why he did it.
"Newbie... "
"Girl..." He manages to say. He's still flustered. Alby sighs.
"Speak properly, Newt! " He starts to get annoyed.
"We have another girl, Alby" Frypan says, saving the flustered Newt. His eyes widen.
"A girl?!" He himself can't believe. He mutters something and then another three Runners comes to the scene.
"Who's the new Greenie?" The Asian boy beams with enthusiasm as he reaches in front with the other two behind him.
"A girl" Frypan says with his arms crossed while admiring the scene inside the Box. Looks like he's enjoying the flustered Newt.
"A girl?" A girl with black curly hair says with an amused expression. The guy beside her locked each gaze for a few minutes then brakes the moment eventually.
"Looks like Newt found his 'Teresa' as Thomas found his" Minho teases the two his eyes glued on Thomas. Teresa glares at Minho and punches him on his shoulder lightly. As of Newt he can't even concentrate in a single thing.
"Hey, do you have any plans on getting out of the Box? And get a room you two!" Minho wiggles his eyebrows at Newt, Newt rolls his eyes and whispers at the trembling girl.
"Hey, We're gonna go out of here, Okay? We have to eat and make you a bed and check your status" The girl nods and slowly he unwraps his arms around her. Alby climbs up out of the Box.
Alby takes it as a signal and he tells the Gladers to go back to work and there will be a Celebration later for the new Greenbean.
Newt climbs up the Box and reaches for her to grab and hoist her up, She places her hand on top oh his.
She has soft hands.
He gently hoists her up and she stumbles as she misses a foot to step on good thing Newt catches her before her face makes contact on the cold hard ground. He chuckles at her clumsiness and helps her to stand up.
She looks up to see him, She notices Newt was so tall and she's so small, she reaches only until his shoulder, She's the smallest Glader. Well that's what she thinks.
He smiles. He has a handsome smile. She thought.
"So let's go, Get something to eat , let's check you up by the Med-Jacks, get you a place to sleep. Before we go to the Celebration" He walks ahead but stops and turns around.
Her hand clutching on his sweater while her head hanging low. He has his concern face and crouches down and looks directly to her eyes.
"What's the matter?" He asks gently not wanting to startle the girl.
"I...m... Sc..ared" She says, her eyes getting watery again, He bit his lip and stands up and pulls her for a hug. He whispers:
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll be taking care of you until you get better" He assures her and she smiles, He's warm. He brakes the hug and entwines his hand with her. She feels her tummy bubbling in happiness, its such a weird feeling, Her face flushed red.
