Never give up

The Glade

I know known of the characters except Alex
*************************************************************************************************************

The Glade? What in the Hades was the Glade?! I turn around to face Alby, "why am I here?" "Who sent me here?" "And why am I the only girl?" Alby didn't look impressed all he said was, "if you want to survive here your going to do as I say and I'm not going to let a girl ruin that, am I clear?" I nodded in response. Alby turned around and walked away, followed by most of the other people. There only twenty to thirty people here. I looked around more closely, there was four walls that made a perfect square and the glade was on the inside. What is it with these people and their squares? I thought to myself. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Newt walk up towards me, " have you got your name back yet?." I jumped back in surprise and accidentally stood on his foot, " bloody hell! You're a lot heavier than you look." "Gee thanks, what a way to start if my day. Waking up in a box and I can't remember anything and then I arrive at a place full of boys!" I retorted. "Calm down! I was only wondering if you got your name back yet." Something clicks in my head, "it's a... Alex! My name is Alex!" At least I could remember something, "nice name." Newt said. I hope it was a genuine compliment. "Come on, let's go and yet you a blanket." I followed Newt towards a building that look like it was going to fall down at any moment. When we got to the room that the blankets are kept in, Alby bursts through the door and says," I've changed my mind. I'm not having the only girl in the Glade sleep outside with a bunch of boys. She's going to sleep in the Homestead, she's going to have to share a room with someone. And it ain't gonna be me, Newt do you mind in sharing a room with the girl?" Before Newt could reply I butted in, " if you don't mind, I do have a name thank you very much, it's Alex it's not 'girl' got it?" Newt chuckled and Alby looked like he was trying not to strangle me, oops. Alby turns around and mutters as he's leaving, "that shuck girl better watch who she's talking to." I didn't take to much notice, I was looking at Newt who was blushing. He said, " well let's go."

After we walk down some corridors, Newt unlocks a door and lest me go inside first. The rooms small but big enough to hold two people. There's a bed against one of the walls that look like it's going to fall down at any moment, like the homestead, a chest of drawers, a stand with a lamp on it and that's it. Not very much. Newt says, "we can still get you a sleeping bag if you want, or we can share a bed."
"Well, I don't mind. You can choose, I'm just happy it's not somebody else that I'm sharing a room with anyone else."
Wait what?! Shuck! I quickly look away and take a sudden interest in the floor. I take a quick peep at Newt and notice he is blushing.
"Wait! I meant that I didn't know any others apart from you and Alby! That's if I did-"
"Did what?" He cut me off.
"I did... Meet the other gladers." I quickly got back to him before he could make any assumptions
" well, it's dinner time just now. So we can maybe get you a sleeping bag tomorrow, after the gathering."
"What is a gathering?"
"I can explain later, let's go and get dinner." That pretty much ended our conversation, I was just glad to get dinner. I was so hungry.
