"Bloody hell mates, its another girl!"
"Another one?"
"Get Alby and Thomas."
"Why Thomas?"
"Get them!"
I feel a hand slide on my leg and on my back then I'm lifted into the air. My eyes pop open and see they boy carring me. His brown eyes looking ahead. I stare at them until I hear another voice. "You've got a stalker, Newt." The other boy said and the boy carring me looked down. My cheeks flushed, but he smiled. He set me down by a tree. "Hey greenie. I'm Newt. Welcome to the glade." I stared at him blankly. "I'm.. I'm.. Cor..um." I can't remember. "It's OK. You'll get it back soon. Do you remember anything else?" Newt asked. I shake my head. I serch my brain for everything, anything. "I'm.." I keep thinking. "Cora!" I shout. "Aye, good that. Most people take days to remember." Newt tells me. "Newt! Where is she?" A man looks at me. "Ah, go, find Teressa! Where is Thomas?" The man says. He looks 18. I look at newt, who stares at me before he leaves. "Wait!" I call to him. "How old do you think I am?" I ask, curious. Newt looks about 17 with his brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. I can't tell if the dirt in the blonde is natural or just actual dirt. He has a very structured face. His accent is from-- "16, maybe 17." Newt says, flashing a smile. Then he takes off. "Alright Greenie. I'm Alby. I run this joint. First things, Everyone has to work. Second, Dont fight with the other gladers. We all work together. And lastly, don't go outside these walls." Alby says. Just then a boy with brown hair and a girl with brown hair, too show up. "Thomas, the note lied. Teressa wasn't the last one, she is." Alby tells them. They both look at me. Thomas smiles. I smile back. Teressa, the girl, looks discussed at me. "I'm Cora." I tell them. "And im obviously not green." I say. Thomas and Alby both laugh and Teressa rolls her eyes. "Greenie is the name we give to the new comers. I'm Thomas by the way." He says shaking my hand. Then they turn and leave. "Newt will give you the tour later." He says. Then Alby leaves too. I feel much more comfortable around Newt. I might feel the same way about Thomas if it weren't for Teressa. For some reason, I'm really looking forward to the tour with Newt.
