CHAPTER 1

I woke up. Darkness surrounding me and I couldn't see anything. This place I'm in smells like sweaty feet and makes me want to gag. I tried to stand up, only to fall down again as I started moving upwards in this strange room. I slowly got up again, and started to feel my way around. The room was small, only about five feet from wall to wall, or so I assume.

I can't remember anything, other then my name, Bethany. I don't know how I got in this box and I didn't know how to get out of it either.

After what seemed like forever, the box stopped suddenly and I fell to the floor again. After a few minutes the top of the box opened and light poured in. I held my hand up in front of my face to shield my eyes from the harsh light.

My eyes got used to the light within seconds and I looked up. I saw a handsome, blonde boy staring at me with wide eyes.

"Holy klunk! It's a girl!" the blonde one exclaimed.

I heard chores of boys start yelling.

"Is she hot?"

"I got dibs!"

"If any of you shanks touch her with out her permission, I will feed you to the grievers personally," the blonde one said, still staring at me.

I heard someone else yell, "Well, don't just stand there, get the rope and help her out of there,"

A rope with a loop on the end of it was dropped into the box. I put my foot in the loop and I got hoisted out of the box. Once I was out of the box I stood up and looked around. There was about 50 boys all standing there looking at me.

"Ain't she hot, I bet she's fun," someone sneered. I turned to look at him. He was the ugliest thing I had seen. He had a big nose, about the size of a tomato. His lips were all chapped and peeling. His hair was lanky and so greasy; it was almost as if he never showered.

His comment ticked me off, so I asked him just as nastily,

"Do you still love nature, despite what it did to you?"

"THAT'S IT YOUR DEAD!" he roared

I squealed and turned around to run away, but I ran into someone's chest. I took a step back to run around him, but his arms surrounded me and pulled me back into his chest protectively. I whimpered and buried my head further into his chest, while I feared for my life.

I felt his chest rumble and he growled at the ugly boy,

"You better cut the klunk Gally,"

"Why don't you-"

"ENOUGH," someone yelled. I turned my head and saw a short. Dark skinned boy. He looked like he was about nineteen years old, "Gally, I want you to go and help the sloppers for the rest of the day," he commanded. Gally groaned, turned on his heal and walked of to a shed looking type thing.

I looked up at the boy who still had his arms around me and realized that it was the blonde boy from earlier. He looked down at me,

"Hi! I'm newt," he said with a crooked grin.

I grinned back, "I'm Bethany,"

I realized I was still in his arms and I looked away and blushed. Newt must have noticed and said "sorry" before letting me go almost as if he didn't want to.

I turned to the dark skinned boy,

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the Glade. I'm Alby. I'll be giving you the tour tomorrow. So wait until then to ask question," Alby turned to a chubby, young looking kid and said," Chuck, I want you to go get Bethany a sleeping bag and show her to the room the keepers sleep in,"

By the time Chuck got me my sleeping bag and pillow, it was dark out. He brought me into the shed looking thing I had seen earlier and walked me up the stairs. He opened up the door on the right and I walked in. I saw Newt, Alby and Gally in there with a few other boys in there I didn't recognize. They were already sitting on there sleeping bags on the floor and talking.

They stopped when they noticed me. Newt patted the spot next to him. This happened to be between him and the wall. Thank god for that, I didn't want to sleep next to any of the other boys because I barely knew them and they just kept staring at me.

I walked awkwardly over to the spot next to Newt with my sleeping bag and pillow. I lay my sleeping bag down and flopped on top of it with a sigh.

"Long day?" Newt asked with a smile

"Yeah," I replied before falling into a dreamless sleep.
