"ARE YOU HUNGRY?" THE dirty blond boy asked from beside me. i snapped my head in his direction then answered him in a simple nod.
"follow me, fry's probably cooking up something delicious to fill your belly." the boy seem unfazed by how i had just had a knife at his throat. newt lead the way to the kitchen as he did most of the talking i listened while letting my eyes explore my new 'home'. 
"you will probably get a tour later today by alby." he said to me.

"then will he answer my questions?" i ask.

"only the ones he knows the answers to." he replied with a soft laugh in his tone.
"hey fry!" newt yelled the moment we walked into the kitchen area.

"hey newt! is this our new green bean?" he said gesturing to me.

"sure is." newt responded. this fry kid smiled kindly at me as he handed me my food and i was heading to sit down. i sat down across the table from newt and began to shovel down my food as he started to explain the glade a bit more.

"you don't talk much do you?" he questioned me after about 3 minutes of silence.

"don't underestimate me because i'm quiet. i know more than i say, i think more than i speak, and i observe more than you know." i explained to him.

"sometimes it's good to let things out you know?" he keeps the conversation going even though he knows i want it to end right here.

"i'm bad with words, i hope you can read eyes." i say cutting my sentence short. seconds pass without either of us saying a word to each other, one thing i hate more than talking is awkward silence.
"where will i be sleeping." i utter to the sandy blond in front of me.

"i can show you if you would like." the boy shoots me a funny smile that turns out to be contagious because now i'm smiling for the first time i can remember.

on our way to who knows where i met loads of rather nice people. a curly brown haired boy that looked about 14 years old named chuck, a muscular black haired boy with and attitude and other not so important boys. me and newt walked along the large grass field till we reached one of the biggest buildings they had in this place.

"welcome to the homestead." newt introduced me, "only a selective amount of people sleep in here such as keepers, first and second in command, etc." i thought it was funny how he thought i understood what he was talking about. i had only been here for around an hour, like come on what the hell is a keeper.

"we had an extra room and we didn't know what to do with it so we figured since your the only girl and all that you could have it." he explained as we climbed up a pair of old rickety stairs that i thought were going to collapse under my feet at any second. we walked down a hallway with about 6 or 7 room's until we landed at the very last room.

newt pushed the door of my new room open, it had a fragile looking bed pushed up against the wall and a dresser pushed up against the other wall.
"i know it's not much but-" newt was cut off.

"it's perfect." i interrupted. i knew it wasn't much but it was all i needed. i took a few steps into my new room spinning around and admiring it.

"um well i'll let you get a feel for things, if you ever need me i'm in the room right next door." newt wanted to let me know.

"anyway, i need to go help set up for the bonfire, i guess i'll see you later." he interrupted the awkward silence between us. he turned to head for the door.

"hey newt," i said, stopping him in his tracks.
"thanks." i said

"yeah no problem." he said shooting me a joyful smile.
