Gally's P.O.V

I'll be the first to admit it. I didn't trust Y/N when she first came up. I was worried she would throw everything out of order or was someone to be suspicious of.

That was proven wrong three Greenie's ago. She didn't even interact with people much, and she's definitely never done anything to throw the Glade off balance. If anything she contributed a lot, going in-between jobs when needed, or just doing smaller ones throughout the day. She could be a Builder one day and a Slicer the next. She'd volunteer as a Cook for one hour and switch to being a Slopper.

There was only one thing she refused to touch which was actually surprising. Despite what you're thinking it's not the Maze. Some days she's actually a Runner. No, she refuses to be anywhere near the Greenie's. When the box comes up she's nowhere to be found. Sometimes she's not even a Runner, and she doesn't just go in the Maze so I don't know how she disappears for an entire day. I'll be the last to admit that I've actually looked to see if I could spot her. So far nothing.

So I did something I don't even know the reason for and hatched a plan. When everyone's by the box I'm checking every square inch of this place. There's no real reason for me to do this. She's not a troublemaker. I just don't get how nobody notices her absence.

Now I was waiting for everyone to start standing by the box. A few people were already making their way over just in case something happens. After another minute, then two, then five, basically everyone had left. Knowing I had to be quick since it was obvious she wasn't going to come out anytime soon I tried the first place that made sense.

The Deadheads were never something I've really gone in. Maybe once or twice to chase down a Greenie, but other than that I avoid it no like the plague. Still, Y/N knows that people generally don't go there. Sometimes the Track-hoes needed fertilizer, which she would get without hesitation, but no one else comes within ten feet if they don't have to. In short, it's the perfect hiding spot.

As I kept getting further in I realized she definitely wasn't here. I kicked the tree next to me and just a second later heard rustling above me. I looked up, puzzled by the noise, and spotted two feet hanging from the top branches. Suddenly, I didn't know exactly what I would do. I hadn't actually planned this far ahead.

Debating whether or not this was completely stupid I decided it probably was. Despite this I started making my way up the tree. Random branches sticking out along with painful and hidden thorns tore up my hands as I did. If she needed a hiding space why pick here? Especially, since she was actually by the top.

Still, fueled by determination I didn't quit until I was on the branch beside her. She didn't say anything or acknowledge that anyone was next to her for what felt like centuries.

"Shouldn't you be with everyone else in case Greenie gets violent? You know? Scare them with your 'day one Greenie' and all that?"She asked after a while.
"Probably,"I shrugged.
"Why are you here then? You've been walking around for about two hours."

"I didn't even know this place was that big,"I responded.
"Well, it is. Now answer my first question. Why aren't you with the other's greeting the Greenie?"

"I wanted to know why you're never there,"I admitted. As always she didn't react to my words. She doesn't react much to what most people say. She'll talk to you and have a conversation, but if you're not a very few certain people she has this blank look the entire time. It's not a zoning out or disinterested look. It's more of her excepting you to tell her something, maybe work another job around here or something similar. If it's not she still sits there talking but completely stone-faced. It's hard to properly explain.
