    "Greenie! Greenie! Greenie! Greenie! Greenie!" The boys chanted as everyone crowded around. They sped up but didn't stop.
The Greenie stepped forward into the circle that was drawn in the dirt. The boys cheered loudly. "Okay. All right. The rules are simple, Greenie. I try to push you out of the circle. You try to last more than five seconds."
The boys laughed.
   "Ready?" Gally question. He didn't give the Greenie a chance to respond before he came at him shoving the Greenie into the crowd. People caught him and pushed him back.
The Greenie, tripped falling on his face.

    "Come on, Greenie. We're not done yet." Gally backed up preparing himself, as the Greenie pushed himself up.

    "Stop calling me Greenie." The Greenie told Gally.

    "Stop calling you that? What do you want to be called? Shank?" Everyone laughed as Gally said that, "What do you think, boys?"

    "Shank! Shank! Shank!" A boy chanted.

    "Does he look like a shank?" Gally asked.
As he said that the Greenie ran at him with force. Gally called him and was really just holding really back at this point. Before he shoved the boy to the ground. "You know what? I think I've settled on shank."

The boy pushed himself up again and charged at Gally.
Gally pushed the boy back and ran towards the other side, but just as he was about to push the Greenie over but the Greenie, he did something unexpected. Quickly, the boy moved out and Gally fell flat on his face.
The crowd cheered at what the Greenie had done.

    "Not bad for a Greenie, huh?" The Greenie smiled. But his victory was short-lived when Gally spun around, still on the ground, and kicked the Greenie's feet out from under him.
The Greenie fell, hitting his head hard on the ground.

    "Okay Gally that's enough." I say, stepping in between the boys. The Greenie he was still coughing in pain on the ground.

     "Come on, it's just a bit of fun." Gally smiled.

     "Then why don't we have a go? Because if I remember correctly, I have beat you every time we've done this." I smile.

    "Thomas." I hear the Greenie mutter, "Thomas. Hey." The boy quickly stood up, "Thomas! Heh. I remember my name. I'm Thomas!"

    "Thomas!" Alby yelled first before the crowd joined in.
I smiled at the boy is everyone came putting him on the back welcoming him.

But the celebration was cut when we heard a loud screeching from the wall, Grievers.

    "What the hell was that?" Thomas asked quietly.

    "That, my friend, was a Griever." Gally said. "Don't worry. You're safe here with us. Nothing gets through those walls."

    "All right, guys. Let's. Tuck it in for the night." Alby called, "Come on. It was a good night."

We are separated going back to our beds. Newt and I walked into our hut. I smiled at him, snuggling close before drifting off.

Early the next morning I'm sitting in the Deadheads looking out over the graves when I hear something behind me. Quickly I turn to look but it's just Thomas.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here, Newt sent me to get fertilizer." He says.

"No, it's alright. Your name is Thomas, right?" I smile.

"Yeah." He smiles.

Thomas, that name sounded familiar now that I think about it, like an old friend or more like family, now that I think about it he looks very familiar.
