The tour with Alby is fairly quick. You are to work for a boy named Winston for the work day tomorrow. The boy Alby, tall in appearance but short with temper, seems wary and distracted.
Unfortunately, being the last person to come to this strange place called the Glade seems to have its downfall. Or, maybe it's  because you had screamed a name before you had fainted. Can't remember whose it had been.
You finally manage to be alone for a while, sitting against a tree on the edge of the Glade. The place is strange, and only now does it occur to you that there are no other girls in sight. That's a mildly frightening thing. The problem is, you don't know anybody and you hardly wish to. You want to be at home, wherever home is. That thought just makes you even more frustrated.
You hear the crunch of leaves but you don't look up. You identify Newt as he sits down next to you.
"How's your first day been?"
Miserable. Confusing. Frustrating. "Eh."
"Makes sense." He sits and seems to enjoy the silence, so you don't say anything back. You're still hunched over, hugging your knees. You hope, despite not really knowing him, that he didn't come over here just because you looked scared.
After a while, you ask, "Who are you?"
He laughs quietly,  in a way that's almost sad. "I wish I knew. I just got here a day belfry you. It's all confusing to me." It seems as though he's trying to figure out something about you, but you have no idea what.
"I guess we're both in the same boat then."
More comfortable silence.
"They're scared of you, you know, with the bloody note you had when you fainted."
That was news. But maybe he knew- "What did that note say?"
"She's the last one ever." And then he stood up to leave. A few feet away, he turned and waved goodbye.
