"Are you the only girl here?" He /"Yeah."br /"Why?"br /"I've got no idea. None of us do."br /He was about to ask something else when I see Newt and call him over. "Hey Newt! Round everyone up will you? I'm gonna sing a song to try and calm the Greenie down a bit."br /"Okay." He grabs my arm and pulls me close to whisper in my ear. "Who is this kid? What did he have to do with your dreams?"br /"I'll explain later, but there's not really much that we can do until the dreams start to happen in reality." I whisper before pulling away. "I'm gonna grab my guitar."br /"Good that." He lets my arm go and I run off into the Homestead. The second that I grab my guitar I hear an awful, blood curdling scream coming from above me. I almost completely forgot about Ben. He got stung by a Greiver and is going through what Newt called the Changing. It sounds awful. Apparently Gally went through it not too long before I came up in the Box. I walk out of the Homestead just as Newt walks /"What did you do with the Greenie?" I ask /"Sent him to Chuck." Is all he says before limping up the stairs. I walk over to one of the picnic tables and sit on the table with my feet resting on the bench. It takes almost no time at all for the Glade to get quiet. Because of that I can easily find everyone. Minho is in the back, Winston and Zart are in the middle, and Chuck is with the Greenie in the front of the crowd looking very excited at the fact that I am gonna sing. I almost blush now that I know that their attention is on me. I also see a group of Gladers off to the side wrestling with Gally. Well, might as well give them a song to fight to. Before I can chicken out I play the intro on my guitar and start singing./p

I find the Greenie first. He's dancing with Chuck and even though he's only dancing half heartily he is still pretty good. He still doesn't look very happy, but he definitely looks better than before. At least I can do something right when it comes to helping people. Finally the crowd of dancing Gladers parts enough for me to see Minho sitting at the back of the crowd, running a hand through his hair. He looks up and we make eye contact, but he just sighs and looks away again. I finish the song and try to find him again, but I don't see him anywhere. The Greenie ran off with Chuck to the Homestead a little while ago and now as I move past it the door flies open and the Greenie storms out, running right into me. Surprised, I'm not able to keep my balance and fall to the ground as Thomas trips and falls over /"What the Hell-" I start before turning to face the Greenie, who is still on top of me. When we are face to face I realize how close we are and can feel my cheeks heating up. I hear some whistles and cat-calls come from a few of the Gladers and glare at /"So-sorry." Thomas stutters stuttersbr /"Don't apologize Greenie. Just get off me." I tell him rudely, trying to make sure that the other boys understand that I am not happy. He obeys and stands up, holding his hand out to help /I swat his hand away. "I don't need your help, shank. You knocked me down, you didn't hurt me."br /"Oh. Okay. "br /"Where are you going in such a hurry anyway?"br /"I just wanted to get out of there."br /"I didn't ask emwhy/em you are in a hurry. I asked where you were going."br /"Oh. I was gonna meet Chuck at the tree."br /"The tree?" I ask, thinking of the one I camp out /"Yeah. The one I was sitting at before."br /"Oh, right. That tree. Well go on then. You don't want to keep him waiting."br /"Okay. See you later."br /br /Not too long after that cheerful encounter with the Greenie, I see him and Chuck sneaking around back behind the Homestead and know that they are up to no good. I watch as Chuck taps on the glass of the window and chuckle to myself. He's playing that stupid prank on someone again. I wonder who this poor soul is. I hear an inaudible voice come from inside and Chuck screams at the top of his lungs, scaring the klunk out of whoever is in there. Suddenly Gally bursts through the door, bubbling over with anger. Chuck has already run off faster than I have ever seen him run, he must have known it was Gally in there. The Greenie however stands frozen in place as Gally storms up to him. He points at the Greenie and yells, br /"Come here!" Thomas looks terrified as I start to make my way towards them, to prevent anything bad from happening. br /"It wasn't me, I swear!" Thomas immediately says /"Wasn't you? Then how do you know there was something you didn't do?" Gally says as he draws closer to Thomas. "Im not a dong, Greenie. I saw Chucks fat face in the window. But you better decide right quick who you want as your friends and enemies, hear me? One more trick like that - I don't care if its your sissy idea or not - there'll be blood spilled. You got that Greenie?"br /"Back off Gally." I tell him. "He didn't know what Chuck was doing."br /"I saw him in the Changing. I don't know who he is but Im gonna figure it out." Gally /"That's nice. Now leave the poor guy alone."br /Without another word Gally turns and leaves. As soon as he does Chuck reappears again right behind /"Thanks a lot, embuddy/em." Thomas says to /"Sorry - if I'd known it was Gally I never would've have done it, I swear."br /"Chuck, I swear, if you ever pull a stunt like that again..." I trail off due to lack of threat, "Uugghh. You aren't helping our new Greenie out at all, and god knows he needs as much help as he can get. Now get this shank to bed try not to make anyone else mad while doing so." I say before walking off to the tree and going to bed./p
