I woke up in some sort of a rusty cage that smelled of sweat. I was panicking. My breath was getting heavier every time I panted. I could hear my own heart beat. I looked around and only saw about a dozen crates but I was too scared to look inside them. The box I was in made a sudden rattle and started rising at quite a fast pace. I felt sick and I just wanted to get out of this nightmare...but is this a nightmare? Or is this real? The box suddenly stopped. A burst of bright light shone upon me. Like I have just been sent to heaven! I looked up and there are a group of guys all staring and all laughing at me, all but one.

One of them with weird eyebrows jumped into the box and pulled me out and dropped me onto the ground. The guys surrounded me and started poking and pushing me as if they haven't had entertainment for years! I tried pushing them away and telling them to stop but they where much stronger than me. I hated it. I was about to scream but then I heard a voice from behind.
"Stop!"
I turned around and there stood the one guy that wasn't laughing at me when I first arrived, he was tall and had dirty-blonde hair that was messy but in a good way. "You should all be ashamed of yourself! You know the rules, don't harm other gladers! So stop acting like animals and get back to work before Alby gets back". When all the guys started walking away from me, I had the chance to look at my surroundings and I was enclosed by four huge walls with nothing but green grass in the middle. "Where am I?!" I yelled at the blonde guy.
"whoah calm down okay? This is the glade"
"What's the glade? Why am I here? What is this place? Who is ably? Wha-"
"Hey hey! Slow down on the questions alright! Alby is in charge around this place and he will tell you everything later but right now he is busy. You see the gap between them walls? Do not go in there. Have I made myself clear?"
"Why?"
"Have I made myself clear?!"
"Yes"
"Good! Names Newt, I'm second in command, and you are?"
"Umm Thomas"
"Nice to meet you Thomas, let me show you to your bed"
There was something different about Newt than the other guys, or as Newt called them 'gladers'. I followed Newt to a old looking bed that had cracks in it and was dirty but I didn't say anything.
"This is where you will be sleeping, next to Chuck, if you ever need me in the night...that's my bed"
He pointed to a bed quite far away but the way he looked at me while saying that if I ever need him in the night was like he was staring into my soul, he gave me a little smile and walked off. He looks at me differently than he looks at other gladers...
