I looked at Jack. Even if I had just promised myself that I wouldn't cry and that I would be strong, I would break that promise soon, because he looked so desperate and helpless. He looked like a lost puppy. So piteous. But I pulled myself together, I grabbed his hand and dragged him with me looking for Newt.

"Wha-" Jack asked confused.

"We're going to look for Newt right now and we're going to beg him to answer at least one question. So stop being pathetic and come with me!" We didn't need to look far. When we were three steps from him, he turned around. My heart sank and when I couldn't open my mouth, Jack began talking.

"Who? What? When? Why? How?" Jack asked

"Who, what, when, why, how, what?" Newt answered

"Who, what, when, why, how, what, what?" I said

"Who, what, when, why how, what, what, what?" Jack said again

"Okay, stop" Newt said annoyed. "What, what is wrong?"

"Why are we here? Who put us here? How long have you been here? What is out there? What are we doing here? Is there a way out?" I asked "And where do we sleep?"

"You will learn that later, but first I will bring you to your sleeping place." Newt said. Now I still don't have an answer. Dipshit. Newt said that we needed to follow him and he took us to homestead where he showed us our beds. It were all hammocks and they hung above each other, like beds in a bunk bed.

"Marie, you take one of the upper hammocks." Newt said

"Why?" I asked unsure, but then I thought, why be insecure? They can't do anything to me. "Scared that I can't handle the boys? Let me tell you something, it isn't because I'm a girl, that I can't hit someone. And if you really want me to 'protect' myself against you, then give me a stick, so I can hit anyone who bothers me." I said. For no apparent reason I knew that I would feel more safe with a stick.

"One of the rules is that you can't hurt another glader, hitting someone with a stick is hurting someone. So no, you don't get a stick and just take one of the upper hammocks."

"Never heard of self-defence and when are we going to eat?"

"In ten minutes" he said. He looked at me for a second and then he turned around and walked away calmly. Jack and I stayed there and we looked at each other confused. Why wouldn't tell anyone us something?!

"Hello there. You're the greenbeans, right? Welcome to the glade. I'm captain Gally. At your service. You're Marie, right?" And because of that question, he turned all his attention to me and he ignored Jack. Listen, there are some guys that I can't stand and that are guys with a huge ego. And it must be fate that captain Gally has a huge ego? Oh, that's a pity for him. And for me because he wouldn't leave me alone. I gave Jack a begging look. One that said: help! Help! I'm getting sexually assaulted! I tried to think of a plan to lose him but he kept talking. Finally, Jack came to the rescue.

"Hey, captain Gally, do you mind me borrowing Marie for a few minutes. We want to look around the Glade.

"Oh, uhm, fine. See you later, shanks." When we were out of sight I thanked Jack and we talked till dinner.

When we were sitting at the table, I sat next to Jack and fortunately not next to captain Gally but next to an Asian guy. Dinner wasn't really nice because it didn't leave me alone that there were guys who kept looking at me like I was some sex object. There was even a guy who was worse than captain Gally. When I went to get my dinner, he slapped my ass. I got really angry but someone beat me in getting angry. The Asian guy, that I still don't know the name of, stood up and threw the guy to the ground.

"Who do you think you are? Treating her like a sex object, say sorry or I will beat you up."
