I see newt talking to the greenie and showing him around, I see that he notices me, he gives me a small half smile and goes back to the greenie. I walk over to them. 


"Hey Blondie, sup greenie." I say as I walk up to them.


"Hello love," newt says with a small smile.


"Hi." The greenie says shyly


"Um, I'm Jane, nice to meet ya greenie." I said, holding out my hand. 


"Hi, I-im chuck." Stuttered the greenie.


He was a short, stubby, looking boy with curly brown hair. He couldn't have been more than 12. 


"Jane is the leader." Newt said. 


"It still feels odd." I say.


"Yeh you'll get used to it." He says again. 


"Hmm I hope so Blondie." I said.


He smiled.


Chuck seemed to notice what was going on but didn't say anything. 


"Alright you boys have fun, nice to meet you Chucky, Ive got some work to do, I'll see you at dinner though, bye Blondie, bye Chucky." I said with a wink and a wave.


Newt waved back with a small blush and a half smile. 


I went around and checked on everyone who was doing their jobs. There was one person who wasn't doing their job. Eyebrows. 


"Great I really didn't want to deal with him right now." I mumbled under my breath.


"Hehm." I fake coughed to get eyebrows attention. He was leaning against a tree dozing off.


He didn't hear me the first time he was still fast asleep. I decided I would have some fun. I got some rope that was nearby and tied his ankles together. I then tied the other end of the rope to a tree branch up high and set it up. I left and waited for my plan to work.
