I woke up, yet again in a cold sweat. My whole body shaking. I put my hand against the tree to steady myself. My heart was racing. What was with these strange dreams? I got up. It was sun rise. The walls had opened. But the glade was still silent. I had a shower and then walked over to the edge of the forest and sat down. I watched as the gladers slowly woke up and started to make themselves busy around the glade. Flo walked over to me. She looked brighter than yesterday.
"Hey newt!" She sat down next to me.
"Hey Flo"
"So Greenie-" she was cut off by a loud alarm noise. So loud I had to cover my ears. I shouted at Flo.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?"
"ITS THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF WHEN A NEW GREENIE COMES UP BUT IT CANT BE-"
The noise suddenly stopped. My ears where still ringing from it. A girl ran over to us, her face, white with shock.
"Flo" she panted
"The box....it's come up..."
"It only should come up once a mouth.." Flo muttered.
Before I knew it me, The girl and Flo where running to the box and sure enough. It was up. A crowd of girls around it. Arguing. Flo ran the the centre of them.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!" She shouted. Silence. Newt took a look around he could see Mia, Lou, Sophia and Alice in the crowd of scared looking girls.
"Ok" Flo said, taking charge.
"What evers down there...we can handle it..."
"ITS BEEN 2 SHUCKING YEARS AND THE BOX HAS NEVER COME UP TWICE IN A MOUNTH LET ALONE TWICE IN ONE WEEK FLO! DONT YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT?" A girl shouting from the back of the group. This triggered more arguing.
"SLIM IT!" Flo shouted.
"I'm going to open it now!" Everyone went silent. She took in a deep breath and opened it. No one could see. Only Flo. But she didn't say a word, but this time...nobody asked.
Flo's voice was shaky
"It's....it's....it's another boy..."
