04 | Greenie

Eloise didn't talk to Newt and Orion for a few days. She didn't speak much either she only talked the Minho and Alby the most for a while. But she did have two jobs in the glade.

Runner and Gardener. Newt was also a gardener. She did her job silently, but she went with the runners more often.

Breakfast was done. So she was assigned to be in the gardening for that day. She had been getting crops as she saw everyone run towards the box. As she also ran over. The first doors slid open and then everyone got closer the box.

The boys helped, the metal doors creaked open. She was standing there with everyone. Mainly near Gally and Newt, most of the boys were laughing.

The boy looked drenched in water, and he also seemed to be familiar to Eloise. But she couldn't place where she had seen him before, but there was something about him that tugged at her memory.

"Okay, go get him," A boy said.

Gally jumped into the box. "Day one, greenie. Rise and shine." She could hear gally saying from above where she was standing. Gally dragged him out of the box. The boy fell onto the floor ruff. As the boys laughed more Eloise as well. She tried the laugh off the weird vibe she had gotten.

"Ahh!" A boy shouted. "Kid looks like a slopper to me." She said. More laughter as everyone stared at the boy. "I could use some help in the kitchen," Fry said, as everyone laughed again. The boy had gotten up ready to sprint.

And as he did. "Oh!" the whole crowd said. As the boy took off. "Welp, he's not getting anywhere." Eloise had said. "Hey, we got a runner! Yeah look at him go." Zart had shouted. The boy was very fast.

But then he had fallen, and he started rolling. Everyone watched. "Whoa! Oh yeah!" Zart again. Everyone cheered and laughed. "Watch it there, greenie. Nice!" The boy had put his head up. Everyone whooping again.

The boy had looked again scared and confused. "Take it all in!" He slowly started to get up. "Be here a long time!" Many boys shouted out to him from a distance. He was fully up, as he turned behind starting looking at the walls. "Come back"

She watched as two boys threw the greenie into the slammers. Eloise wanted to have a closer look at the boy, so she went with Alby towards him. The boy had been looking out grabbing onto the slammers door. "Hey." Alby spoke. He spooked the boy, as he fell and backed up into the corner.

Alby squatted down, and Eloise sat on her knees. "Hey there, green bean," Alby said. "You're not gonna try and run again, okay?" No reply from the boy down in the slammer. "Good." Alby nodded

As she stared at him more, she seemed to have a random wave of hatred towards the boy. As Alby started to unlock the door. He cleared his throat. "My name is Alby. Oh, and this is Eloise." Eloise then scooted closer and waved at the boy.

"Now you can tell me anything about yourself, who you are, where you came from? Anything at all." As if he could even remember..

The boy then nodded no. He didn't know at all. "No." He sniffled. "Is he about to cry?" Eloise blurted. Alby elbowed her arm gently. "Don't be rude."

She made a smacking nose with her mouth. As he was staring at her. "Ok. Okay sorry." She put her hands up. "Can you tell me your name?" Of course, he wouldn't remember his name either. "No. I, uh can't remember anything." He was shaking a little, fidgeting with his hands.

"Oh no! That's very bad." Eloise said sarcastically. "Sorry." She then said very quickly before Alby said something to her.

"Why can't I remember anything?"
