[ Week Two ]

Nova still didn't understand what the word 'Glade' had meant, considering everyone that had told her tried to gesture what the word meant right in front of her. They weren't used to her lack of good vision, yet. So it became awkward between her and the other Glader's, but she seemed to get along with at least a quarter of them. And that was good enough for her, she accepted it, and was happy to have some friends.

Whether most of the Glader boy's forgot or not, Nova's new friends had remembered. And found it easy to bring her around, Nova did't mind it one bit, it was good enough for now. Until she could find her own way around, without anymore help. And she would within good time.

Nova had sat criss-crossed on her bottom, in the grass, right in the middle of the Glade. She sat there because she didn't know what else to do, but just wait there, and feel her vision come back. But she could only hope.

Nova had heard a pair of footsteps coming toward's her from behind, and they sounded stern. She continued to stay in her special little spot, she now just claimed to be her thinking place. She waited until the person arrived by her side, before she made any sort of movement.

"Alright Greenie," She recognized the voice of the boy, from a week earlier.

"Alby." She greeted with a light smile, continuing with her head straight forward. Trying to sound nice and sincere. With each coming day, she found it easier to memorize the Glader's name's. One by one.

Holding his hips, he cleared his throat. "It's time to talk about job's, and find out which one you'd be best at."

Nova had kept her vision-less eye's closed, and with a nod she let out a light mumble. Notifying him that she understood his wise word's.

"It's Nova by the way." She softly spoke, thinking she'd be kind enough to remind him.

"Right - Nova," Alby had paused for a considerable amount of seconds. "If you'll just follow me, I'll help you with your job selection. And we'll get you started with one Glader that work's at each of them, to see if it fit's you." He added, explaining it as thoroughly as possible.

Nova laid her hands deep into the soft grass, and brought herself to her feet. She quite liked the feeling of grass, it was nice and cold, soft, and soothing. It really relaxed her.

"Let's begin." Nova could feel Alby's light smile, and she smiled back. It was the most she could do in such short notice.

Alby turned around, and waited for Nova to reach from behind him. Once he had felt her hand grip his shoulder, he started walking and guided her to the many different job's that the Glade had to offer.

And so, Nova's story was starting to begin.

"Why do I always get's stuck with you?" Gally had asked in a rough tone, crossing his arms. Nova didn't answer, she merely shrugged.

With a roll of his eyes and a loud huff erupting from his chest, he turned around and walked toward's a structure that he was in the middle of building. Motioning Nova to follow, but she didn't, she couldn't.
