Okay so I forgot to mention that this story will be a bit of an AU andddd it takes place before Thomas and Teresa(: Now onward to chapter 2!
Chapter 2
After seeing the two unknown boys jog back into the Glade I decided it was time to try and feed myself. I figured it would be a bit difficult since the idea of eating just made me nauseous and I really didn't want to come out of my 'room', plus I'm not too excited to meet the rest of the boys nor do I want to be the big center of attention, I had more than enough of that when I came out of that dreaded box this afternoon. I placed my hands on my knees and pushed myself up with a sigh and I reluctantly walk my ass towards the smoke and loud voices I assumed was the place they were gathering for dinner.
I walked past a couple trees to find what looked like a small gathering of crudely built tables and about a handful of boys seated at each of them. I groan inwardly as I realize there is no where for me to sit that will leave me by myself. As I near the table that held the large amount of food, I didn't hear anyone approach me until I felt a slap on my shoulder.
"Holy!.." I whip my head around quickly and meet the eyes of the blonde kid I saw earlier at the box. He grins and removes his hand from my shoulder and held them up in a surrender,
"Relax Greenie I'm not gonna bloody hurt you." He holds out a hand towards me,
"My names Newt. I have actually introduced myself yet." I look down at his hand then back to his face before I take his and shake it.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Jo." He nods his head in a knowing manner before he speaks,
"I know, I heard you when you remembered your name. Anyways, I'm not sure what Alby has told you so far but I figured I would help you out a bit more since you were wandering around looking like a confused and lost little shank." He chuckled and I raised my eyebrow in confusion
'Shank? what the hell does that even mean?' I ask myself as I give him a slow head nod "Alright then..thanks I guess." I smile embarrassingly as he walks me to the table, he hands me a tin bowl and looks to the boy slopping out food.
"Hey Fry meet our newest Greenie, Jo" he looks back at me "Jo meet our Keeper of the Cooks Frypan." I smile again softly at the boy as he grins kindly at me
"Nice to meet you pretty lady. I haven't seen a girl in a while so Its a bit of a shock but its nice to meet you none the less." I chuckle at his kind words and shake his hand then he pours a delicious looking stew into my waiting bowl.
"Thank you." he waves me off and calls for whoever is next in line. I follow Newt to a table filled with a bunch of boys, I bite my lip as I'm about to be introduced to more people, they all look up as we walk over and I cant help but blush from embarrassment. I keep my mouth shut as I look them over, a skinny boy with tan skin and short dark hair looks at me and smiles as Newt introduces me, he gives me a curt wave and tells me his name is Winston and that he's the keeper of the Slicers and he goes down the line to tell me about the quiet Keeper of the Med-jacks Clint, and Jeff another Med-jack,
"Hello." I take a seat after feeling a little less embarrassed, I bring a spoon full of food to my mouth when I notice them all staring, I raise an eyebrow and frown,
"You know its not polite to stare.." They all blush and I shake my head with a chuckle, I have a feeling I will get along with at least some of these boys just fine. As they talk amongst themselves I keep quiet as I eat and take the time to observe everyone around me. My eyes freeze on a table of boys who look well built and strong, they are sitting around one of the boys I saw earlier come through those giant stone walls, I look him over and I study his face, his tanned skin, toned arms with his blue sleeves folded up past his elbows, his black hair that seems to have not a piece out of place. As I move up his body I meet his brown almond shaped eyes and my eyes widen and I look away quickly from embarrassment.
'Crap I got caught checking him out! Crap crap crap. Stupid girly hormones.' I shake my head and I go back to my food and even distract myself by including myself in the boys at my tables conversation. I was more than excited to leave that area as soon as I finished eating and since the days was just about done I wanted to do a little bit of exploring. As I was in the process of finishing my dinner Newt and Winston gave me a brief tour or more of a rundown of where everything is and what certain areas are called. I walked past the homestead and my plan was to head to the Deadheads when I heard what sounded almost like a grinding noise and suddenly the ground beneath me felt like it was moving. I threw my hands out to my side to keep from falling over as I frantically looked around me, my eyes landed on the gap in the stone walls and I saw the walls moving.
"What the hell?" I heard approaching foot steps and a few laughs,
"Slim it Greenie its just the bloody doors closing for the night." I pulled my eyes away from the door and onto Newt, I felt like I was back at square one with my understanding of this place and it irked me to no end.
"What is out there?" I looked at the blonde boy and coming up behind him was the Asian kid and Alby, I contained my blush as I didn't look at him him, instead I looked to the leader of the Gladers. Alby looks back at me and he shakes his head,
"I think you've asked enough questions for the day. Its time to go to sleep. You're going to have a long day tomorrow." I frown as he brushed off my question, sighing, I crossed my arms.
"Okay fine." Turning on my heel, I all but stomp my way to my hammock. I throw myself down onto it with irritation.
'Tomorrow they will answer my questions, even if I have to ask them all day. I want to know what is out there.' I look back to the Doors one last time before rolling over and closing my eyes.
Whooooo Chapter 2 is finally done! I would have posted it sooner but I was doing some serious multitasking and I found that trying to write and cook dinner without burning it cause I'm so focused on this is really hard. But I shall update again soon(: Thank you for reading and please review.
