All the gladers just stared. Half of them looked as though they'd seen a ghost. The other half were watching me in awe as if they expected me to tell them their forgotten life stories.
I looked down to get away from all the eyes. "WHAT THE SHUCK? I'M WEARING A SKIRT!" I yelled, noticing my clothing. In my mind, skirts are the pure source of evil in the world. The box, however, was not empty. In it, there was a pair of jeans, and a pair of sweatpants. "Okay, I know my way around the glade, but I don't know anywhere I can go to change…" I trailed off, picking up the jeans and sweats.
"So how -" Newt started before I cut him off.
"I'm not answering any questions until I'm wearing jeans." I stated.
Then somebody I had never seen before stepped foreword. He wasn't in the book or the movie. "Follow me," he quickly said, as if he wanted ever so much not to talk. A lost puppy, I followed him. Once we were away from the crowd, I stared at him, almost as though he were possessed or supernatural. His hair was frizzy at the front, and tucked in a beanie.
"Who are you?" I asked, "I know everybody else, but I've never seen you."
"Leo." I concluded that he only speaks as little as possible. Maybe he's shy.
"Why have I never seen you before?"
"I'll explain that later."
A/N: I'm dishing out cliffies every chapter! We'll I had no school today, YAY! I know I said that I'd try to update once a week, but I decided to take advantage of this day off. Many things will be revealed in the next chapter, especially things about Leo. Okay… only things about Leo. If anybody guesses what it is before my next update, the first person to guess will get a shout out!
Also, I know I said it would be longer this time, but it's a day off and I'm feeling lazy. It WILL be longer next time. All reviews, follows, and favorites are appreciated.
