august slipped away into a moment in time...
LAYING ON TOP OF MY NEW crisp white sheets listening to the life around me from outside of my window. it made me smile knowing everyone here are friends. well, i don't really know if any of them like me. but i can get them used to me, i think. i've been laying on my mattress for maybe an hour trying to figure out more about myself. the sound of life makes me feel comfortable. that's all i really learned. i bring myself up off my bed and out if the homestead. i look around trying to find something to do. everyone here looks like they have something to do, everyone except me.
"hey! your the new girl right?" a little stubby boy named chuck says as he runs up to me.
"well i'm kinda the only girl." i say takings a look around me just in case i may have missed seeing another girl.
"you look lost, follow me!" he says grabbing my wrist and yanking me somewhere i dont know of.

"i was the last greenie right before you, holy shuck you have had one of the most tame reactions ever." i didn't mind that chuck did most of the talking.
"i mean when i came up in the box i must have clunked myself at least 6 times." he says which makes me feel a bit better about how i put a knife to a kids throat. it was just me and chuck sitting at a picnic looking table and who i know as fry was lurking around the kitchen somewhere probably eavesdropping on me and chucks conversation. as chuck keeps rambling on about who knows what when i finally take my time to take a look at him. he looks only about the age of 14, how could someone be so cruel to send a child his age up into this place. he had a nice funny smile and was really jolly. and as he kept talking he explained how everyone didn't really like him that much, all i could think is, how?
"by chance do you know what time it is?" i ask. i heard newt mention earlier today that there was going to be what they know as a bonfire.
"no. if you want to know what time it is your gonna have to ask someone else. only the really important people have watches." he says, thats kind of stupid.
"well then when does this bonfire thing start?" i question.
"oh it will be any time now." he spoke. thank god, i have nothing to do.

i was sitting alone with my back up against a large log when i hear some footsteps coming from behind me. i quickly snap my head around to meet newts eyes.
"sorry i didn't mean to sneak up on you." he says shooting me a smile in which i didn't return. he climbs over the log and sits next to me and hands me a funny looking drink.
"here puts some hair on your chest." he says.
um.. what?
"well im a girl so id prefer not to have ugly looking hair on my chest." i say spinning the jar around in my hand examining it further and making sure hes not trying to poison me.
"oh yeah right sorry about that," he begins and sticks his hand out for me to give him the drink back.
"that doesn't mean im not gonna drink it dipshit." i say slapping his hand away. then i took a big gulp of the drink, bad decision. i force it down my throat and then immediately start coughing up most of it. newt laughs at me probably because of the faces and sounds im making. and if im being honest i was laughing too. other than chuck, newt was the only one that had treated me like a person.
"i don't think you ever told me your name, and its ok if you don't-" newt began before i cut him off.
"caroline." i replied.
"excuse me?" newt said.
"my name is caroline." i said again thinking he would have understood the first time. it was kind of silent after that and im not the kind of person that likes to start conversation, but it has to start somehow.
"so what's out there?" i ask gesturing to the giant stone walls in front of us.
"well im not really supposed to answer your questions until your tour tomorrow." he says.
"aren't you the one who is going to give me the tour so i dont think it matters that much i mean-"
"ok jeez ill answer your questions." he says.
"and thats the most i've ever heard you talk." i hear him mumble under his breath.
"hey i heard that!" i say and hit his shoulder while im at it.
"well out there is a, um well its a maze." he says looking over at me expecting me to interject but instead i motion for him to keep going.
"and you hear that?" he says as i listen to the awful sound of stone scraping against stone.
"thats the maze, changing." he keeps talking.
"and the other noises are, well we call 'em grievers." i try my hardest not to giggle.
"well of corse no ones ever seen one in real life and lived to tell about it." he continues.
i hear people behind us and i turn my body resting my arms on the log.
"what are they doing?" i ask newt, changing the subject because i think i've learned enough horror facts about this place for one night.
"the big one with the funny eyebrow is gally and he made up this stupid game with some stupid rules so he can always win it has something to d with pushing." he explains.
"can i play?" i ask
"oh no you do not want to play." he says trying to stop me from walking over there but he ends up just following me.
"hey greenie! come play, prove yourself." mr eyebrows yells. first of all what do i have to prove to these douchebags, and i have a name thats not greenie.
"sure lets go eyebrows." i shout over to him. he laughs in a sarcastic tone because he thins hes gonna win. and i laugh too, but its just in my head.
lets just say the way this ended was with mr eyebrows' nose leaking with blood and my face with a huge grin on it.
