It's a girl

Sudden rays of light illuminated the dark box. My eyes had gotten so used to the pitch dark surroundings that the light blinded me and my eyes had difficulty adjusting to the brightness. I instantly backed up onto the cold metal wall closest to me. Now that I could finally see clearly, I noticed a word etched onto the wall beside me.

WICKED

I traced the words with my numb fingers and as I did so a cold daunting (daunting for dauntless-divergent faction-GET IT?) Shiver went through me. A deep voice spoke and brought me back to earth.

"OI, shank you commin out or not?"

Shank? What did that mean? When I failed to answer a scratchy voice spoke

"It looks like the shucking creators sent us another shank crying for his mother and too scared to show himself cause he klunked his shucking pants"

I balled my fists so hard my knuckles turned white. Even though I couldn't understand half the words he said I knew he was insulting me. And why was he calling me a male? Probably dumb enough to not know the difference between a boy and girl, I thought and would've chuckled at my own joke if not for the deep voice I heard again.

"Shut your big hole Gally, you were the same when u came in fact you were worse"

This was followed by hardly hearable chuckles. I was sitting on the cold damp floor of this box shivering while the idiots up there, sunbathing in the sunlight and tanning themselves, were having an argument! I was considering shouting something or calling but I didn't need to, as in a few seconds the box creaked under new weight as a figure jumped down. I crouched in the corner of the box frightened and I couldn't see above me nor could the people above see me.

The figure which had jumped down was a boy with blond hair up to his ears and brown hazel eyes. He was a teenager by the looks of it. He scanned the box expressionlessly looking for me obviously and unfortunately my hiding place wasn't efficient enough as in less than a minute he had seen me.

For some unknown reason his blank face immediately turned into a mixture of a shock, surprise, and disbelief expression and he jumped back while I was pretty sure he should've been helping me right now. Instead he just stared at my face. I mean I couldn't be that ugly could I? The scratchy voice guy who I vaguely remembered was called Gally yet again spoke up.

"Newt, you shank whass taking you sooooooo long not shucking in love are you bring the green bean up will ya? Not all of us have a limp which gives us the liberty to be free all day now do we?"

On hearing this so-called-NEWT turned tomato red while I was dwelling on the thought that what kind of name Newt was? Choosing to ignore Gally, Newt jerked his head back and announced:-

"It's a girl…"

An awkward and long silence followed which was immediately ruined by disruptive voices:-

"Is she HOT?"

"What does she look like?"

"How old is she?"

On each comment my insides withered and my thoughts jumbled into another at 1 time. Had these people never seen a girl before?They probably had & were only joking; I consoled myself though I knew that was unlikely true.

The leader's voice drowned all the other voices as he told them to shut their holes. He then barked at Newt to bring me up (with words in between which I was sure weren't in English) and before I knew it I was hoisted out of the box.

It took me furthermore only a second to realize there were 50-60 boys surrounding me. All the boys were staring at me as I was an alien. A few had the nerve to wink at me and 1 whistled and dared to blow a kiss at me. I imagined torturing him in my head and wished to punch him so hard and knock out a few of his teeth.

Instead I chose to ignore all the catcalls and took a look at my surroundings. I was standing on fresh grass. And when I turned my head I was utterly surprised. The land growing the grass extended from all directions, they were surrounded by four enormous walls made of gray stone and covered in spots with thick ivy. The walls had to be hundreds of feet high and formed a perfect square around them, each side split in the exact middle by an opening as tall as the walls themselves led to passages and long corridors beyond.

As I craned my neck to get a full view of the place behind me the guy who I think was named Gally spoke up:-

"Take it all in girlie, take it all in."

I instantly knew I hated this guy so-called-Gally. I turned to look at him and saw that he was ginger haired with a pig like nose and peculiar wierd wonky eyebrows which made wanna laught at his bad luck and then cry in pity for him. The catcalling was still continuing eventhough i wasnt even paying attention and they only shuttted up when the dark skinned boy spoke:-

"Shut your holes all of you shanks. Any of you touch her they'll end up in the maze for the night and the Greviers can hav em! don't you shanks have jobs to shucking do?"

He gave them a look and they all grudgingly scrambled away all except Gally who gave me look of pure loathing like i was the reason he had wonky eyebrows and then trudged off. Only Newt and the dark skinned boy stayed behind who was obviously the leadr and his face screamed AUTHORITY. He spoke up again

"My names Alby,the leader of this place. We call it the Glade...This is where we all shucking sleep,live,and work."

I was about to ask what shucking meant and started but Alby brought up a finger to his lips and Newt indicated me to shutup. He yet started speaking again though I never understood half the words he included something about homestead and bloodhouses. He finally finished his wonderfull speech which I never understood before he could start speaking again I asked

"Come Again?"

He discarded my question like he wasnt even speaking to me and said:-

"Shuck that its time for the tour"...
