Experiment 18-on Hold

Chapter 3: She got a name

After awhile of sitting down Newt walks in telling me its time. We walk out to the bonfire area. Most of the people are staring at me.

"This party is for you" Newt whispers to me.

I rub my bump and walk over to the fire sitting down on one of the logs.

"This is for our newest Greenie! Welcome to the Glade Shanket!" Alby yells. "LIGHT EM UP!"

Someone throws a torch at the fire place and it lights up high and large. I watch in amazement. 

"Your really a girl!" A boy about 18 with dark hair and eyes says his eyes wandering down my body stopping at my chest occasionally.

"Yes.. I am.." I mumble slowly scooching away.

"I'm Clyde. You are?"

"Dunno" I mumble looking around for Newt, Minho or Jeff.

"Who are you looking for?" He asks.

"My friends" I tell him.

"You can hang with me and my friends" He says grabbing my hand.

"No thank you I'm good" I tell him trying to pull away.

"No join us it will be fun!"

I look around panicked. A boy about 17 with dark skin and short buzzcut hair in an apron mouths you good?

I shake my head. He stops his cooking and walks over without putting the wooden spoon down.

"Clyde if you don't mind I'd like to steal the She-bean for awhile." He smiles not really asking.

Clyde scowls. "Of course" He lets go of my arm and walking away cursing.

"Thank you so much." I tell him.

"No worries. Come on you need to eat." I walk back with him to the kitchen. "Welcome to my kitchen."

"It's amazing" I tell him.

"Sit down." He pulls up a chair and I sit down in it.

"That's the water thing. Only lucky gladers get a water bottle I'll see if I can get Alby to get you one. You have to be hydrated." He smiles.

"Ok."

"Want some bacon?" He asks holding up a plate of bacon.

"Of course!" I grab two slices and eat them. "Oh my gosh these are so good!!"

"I'm glad! I'm Frypan" He tells you.

"I'm well I don't know..."

"It will come back to you." He hands me another slice of bacon. I try to eat it slower all at once a word flashes through my mind.

Vivian

"Vivian.." I mumble.

"Huh?"

"My name. It's Vivian."

Fry laughs happily. "Well Vivian looks like my bacon is magic."

"It really is" I laugh. "I have to tell Newt!"

I stand up from the chair. "Thank you for the bacon Fry!" I tell him walking out to look for Newt. Then I see his shaggy hair.

"Newt!" I call. He whips around.

"What's the matter?"

"I remembered my name! Vivian!" I smile.

"Vivian. It suits you." He smiles his eyes sparkling.
