Vera was angry. Angry was an understatement. She was enraged. Gally decided to push everyone's limits today and walk into the maze. And what did that Slinthead do? He got himself stung.
She was pacing in the Med-hut, listening to Gally's screams. Even though he brought this upon himself, she couldn't help but feel bad. She's had to deal with Gladers going through the Changing before, and every single one of them all said the pain was excruciating.
"Go take a break, Vera," Clint said, sitting on the floor watching the ginger girl pace.
"You sure?" she asked, but there was a hint of relief in her voice.
Clint nodded and that was enough confirmation for her to get out of there. Gally's screams still echoed throughout the Glade, but it was more tolerable now that she wasn't right beside him.
"Hey Vera!" Frypan yelled.
"Hey Fry," she said with a tired voice when she walked over to the Cook.
"How's Gally holding up?"
"Even more insufferable," she deadpanned.
Gally was her friend, a close one, but that didn't mean she didn't think he was an annoying shank who was constantly looking for trouble.
"Well, that's Gally for you," Frypan laughed.
"And somehow I still feel bad for that shuckface," Vera grumbled.
"That's who you are, Vera. You care so much about everyone, I hope we've been showin' you we care about you too," Frypan said, eyes turning serious.
Vera was confused for a moment, wondering where that came from, "you have, Fry. Everyone has."
And it was true. The Gladers did show they cared about her. She made some close friends here. People she knew she would never be able to forget about.
