Chapter 2

"Rise and shine greenbean. Time to tell you 'bout the glade."
A female voice said.

I open my eyes to see Alex standing over me. I jumped in surprise.

"Time to get your day started."
she says as i set up from my hammock, which was given and set up for me by Alex.

We start walking around and she tells me how the moving walls are really doors to a maze. And apparently the maze holds monsters in them.

"So never go into the maze. Got it?"
she says.

"Ok?"
I say.

As we keep walking we run into Alby and Newt.

"Hey Alex. Hey greenbean."
He greets.

"My name is Gally."
I mumble quite tired of being called greenbean.

"Sorry greenbean. But until another greenbean shows up you will be a greenbean."
He almost mocks.

I don't know why but constantly hearing that and being called that really pissed me off so I lunged at him. I hit him once before I'm in a headlock.

Not by Alby. Not by Newt. Not by another glader. But Alex. She has me in a headlock. Not too tight that I can't breathe, but tight enough so I can't move.

"Calm down Gally. Just calm down. Can I let you go without hurting anybody?"
I nod. She lets me go, sending me off balance.

I scramble to stand on my own.

"Alby you good?"
She asks as Alby nods and stands up with the help of Newt.

"Put him in the pit."

That's when I freak out.

"No."
Alex says

"No?"
Alby says.

"I said no. We may be co-leaders but I got here first. Remember that? So no. He doesn't even know the rules. Or why we have them so no he doesn't go in the pit. Do I make myself clear?"

Nobody responds.

"I said, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"

Alby nods and walks away.

"Sorry about that. Now . let's talk about the rules now that were on that subject."

I do not want to make her any angrier than she may be, so I stay silent and nod.

"Ok. so rule number one; never go outside the glade. Unless you are a runner. Rule number two; never hurt another glader. We need to trust each other. And rule number three; you gotta do your part. We had no time for free loaders. Now that that's out of the way I'll introduce you to everyone. And before you ask, I'll answer all your questions later, ok?"

I nod.

Then we started walking around and she introduced me to everyone.

"Gally this is Frypan; keepers of the cooks, Winston; keeper of the slicers, Zart; keepers of the gardeners or the track-hoes, Clint; keepers of the doctors or med-jacks, Jamie; keepers of the security or the baggers, and finally Minho; keepers of the runners. You've already met Alby; co-leader. He came up a month after me. And newt, Alby's second in command. He came up a month after Alby.

See every month somebody, a greenbean as we call them, comes up in the box. Every week the box comes up with supplies.

Right so we'll be testing you to see what keeper you belong to, or if you will become a keeper. We do need help with building things. You look strong enough to do so. Ok?''

I nod and start my training with a frypan. I wasn't so good at cooking at all. I burned everything for lunch. So I was kicked out of the kitchen.

Then I went and trained with Winston. That was so gross. I almost puked.

I definitely wasn't right for that so I went and trained with Zart before dinner digging up the vegetables. But I was 'too rough with produce to be a track-hoe' according to Zart.

Finally, the dinner bell rang. After I got my food I went and sat by a tree.

"Hey Gally. Whatcha doin over here by yourself?'' Alex says.

"I don't really know anybody and I kinda failed at every test."

I shrugged. I felt her sit down next to me.

"That's fine. Tomorrow you'll be working with Clint, and if that doesn't work out then you got Jamie. And if that doesn't work out then we'll try building. Ok."

"Wait, what about Minho, the runner?"
I ask. My own curiosity is getting the better of me.

"No. Absolutely not. The only people who run the maze are Minho and Alby"
She says sternly. I nod my head.

"Alright well you should probably get some sleep after you're done eating. We have a busy schedule. You know, getting you assigned a job and all."

She lightly giggles. It warms my heart to see her smile, and for some odd reason it makes me smile.
