"I can't believe it's been a month" Chuck says walking beside me. "Does that mean another boy is going to be coming up?"

"Yeah or a girl" I say. "But probably a boy"

"When will they be here?" Chuck asks.

"Around lunch" I answer.

"I can't wait that long!" Chuck yelps.

I smile. "I'm sure you can"

Chuck looks me dead in the eyes. "Then you don't know me."

"Really?" I ask laughing then stop mid-laugh. "I really don't!"

"Told you!" He grins.

"Then tell me about yourself" I say.

"My favorite color is dark blue.. I really like Fry's bacon"

"Who doesn't?" I ask. "Oh! I have a story!"

"What is it?"

"It was my first day in the Glade and I ate a slice of Fry's bacon and I got my name back."

"Really??" Chuck asks. "That's so cool!"

"It is" I smile.

"What is that??" Chuck asks yelling over the noise.

"The Greenie alarm!" I call back.

"He's coming?!?" Chuck asks grinning.

"Yeah!" I call back.

Chuck runs forward towards the box.

"Chuck wait!" I call rushing after him. Thankfully the Gladers don't let him through so I'm able to pull him back. "Why don't we wait with Newt?"

"Why?" Chuck asks.

"I don't want the Greenie staring at me" I mumble.

"Ok" Chuck and I walk over to where Newt is waiting.

When Newt sees us coming over his face changes from happy to shocked to what might be annoyed then back to his usual happyish face. "Hi Vivian, Chuck"

"Hi Newt!" Chuck grins.

"Hi Newt" I smile. "Don't you have to be over with the new Greenie?"

"Only later" Newt tells me.

"Oh ok"

We hear a bunch of yells so we turn to see the Greenie running off towards the maze. Then he faceplants. Great first impression.

"I guess we have to go over there" I say.

"Yup" Newt says taking the lead. The three of us head over to where the new Greenie is.

"

Ah" Alby says from beside the Greenie. "Green bean meet Newt he's the second in command. He's in charge when I'm not around."

"Good thing your always then ay?" Newt says to Alby then turns to the Greenie." That was some dash you made earlier. For a second, I thought you had the chops to be a runner.... Till you face-planted."

"Wait a runner?" The Greenie asks then spots me. "Wait a girl?"

"That's Vivian. Our one and only she-bean."
