I woke up with a knock on my door. I got up and opened the door and Nick was there.

"Hello." I say, groggily.

"Hey. Get your butt up. We have work to do." He says.

"Ugh. Why so early?"

"Because we are gonna have a meeting. Be downstairs in 10." He said and walked away.

I shut my door and groan.

"Can't a girl have her beauty sleep?!" I mumble.

I get a blue tank top on and a pair of jean shorts. I really wish I had a mirror. I take a deep breath and let it go. Today is another day.

I walk downstairs and look around. I hear voices coming from a door in the hallway. I open a door and see a big circular room. It had chairs everywhere. Nick was standing in front of everybody, attempting to calm them down.

They all see me and quiet down.

"It's about time! Come here." He ordered.

"Sit there." He pointed to a chair in the center.

There weren't a lot of people in there. I saw Newt playing with his hands and a boy named Alby. He had dark skin and was about 15. To there right was an Asian kid named Minho. I looked around and saw Gally. He was staring at me or glaring I couldn't tell. I looked around some more and saw a few other boys that I couldn't remember.

I walk over to the chair Nick pointed to and sat in it.

"Okay, so this meeting is for the new greenie. Since she is a girl we are going to have a few more rules. Number one: Do not touch her without permission. Number two: Never harm her or anyone else." Nick said. He now turns to me.

"We have three main rules. Number one: Never harm another glader. Number two: Do your part. Number three last but not least, do not go beyond those walls." He said. I nodded memorizing everything.

Nick went on and started talking about the things that were in the works in the glade. Most of it was what Newt had already told me, but I paid attention to him anyway. After awhile I started to get bored, listening to Nick ramble on and on about doing your job. Suddenly, Nick looked at me.

"Greenie, do you have any recommendations?" He asked.

"Um, a separate shower and bathroom spot. That'll be good for me and the other girls. Well that is if there are more girls." I say the last part softly.

What if there aren't any more girls. What if I'm stuck with guys, forever. I don't think I'll be able to survive. So, I had to wait another month for another girl. I looked around me and saw everyone looking at me now.

"Okay, Yeah we can do that." Nick said.

"Gally, could you and your people do that?" Nick asked.

Gally nodded. He seemed all for that idea. I wonder if he was my older brother or a younger brother to me. Probably older because he looked older than me I guess. Nick continued talking. I still listened, but I was also deep in thought.

"Do you guys happen to have any mirrors?" I said, before I could stop myself.

Nick looked at me. I looked at Newt and he just smiled at me. Nick looked at Newt.

"Yeah, I think we do. Newt will show you where it is, later."

Newt's smile disappeared and looked at Nick. I looked at Nick. Why was he always pairing me with Newt, not that I'm complaining, but I was always with Newt.

"I'm sorry is there a problem?" Nick asked.

Newt and I both shook our head.

"Good that. Everyone is dismissed." Nick said.

Everyone including myself practically ran to the door. I thought about running a lap around the walls, but someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw Newt.

"Hey. What's up?" I said.

He smiled and said, "The sky."

I laughed and playfully smacked his head. After, I smacked his head he rubbed the spot.

"Oh, come on. I didn't even smack you that hard." I said.

"Yeah, right!" He laughed.

"So, come with me, I'll show you a mirror." He said.

"Okay." I smiled and followed him.

We walked into homestead and go upstairs to where all the rooms are. For a moment I thought we were going to my room, but we stop by a room that's right next to mine. It had a small bed and a dresser. It was smaller than my room, but other than it being smaller, it looked the same. Newt walks into the room and I walked behind him. I stood in the corner and be shut the door.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Why are you shutting the door?" I asked, feeling kinda uncomfortable.

He chuckled and said, "Love just calm down. See?" He closed the door and I saw myself.

The mirror was on the back of this door. I looked exactly like Newt had said. I had long brown hair and sea green eyes. I was quite skinny and I would say I was about 14. I noticed that along my nose I had very light freckles. I smiled at myself. I mean to me I wasn't much.

"Wow..." I said.

Newt chuckled and said, "You are quite beautiful, love."

I looked at myself and I saw that I was blushing. I looked away from Newt so he wouldn't see.

"Oh, by the way, this is my room." He said.

"It's right next to mine." I stated.

"Yup. Funny thing though. When we came up in the box, this was in it and I knew that we would need it at some point, so I put it in here, but you can have it. I feel like you'll get more use out of it than I would." He said.

I looked at him and smiled. He walked to the door and took the mirror off and opened the door. He carried it to my room and sat it on the opposite wall of my bed. I walked into my doorframe and leaned against it smirking.

I took this moment to admire how kind Newt was, not to mention, he was kinda cute, just to be honest. His sandy brown hair messy, but cute. The hard truth was he would never like me. No! Quit thinking like that.

  I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw Newt stand up smirking and laughing.

"You liking the view?" He laughed. I blushed and looked away.

"Sorry, just thinking." I said.

  Awkward, I thought. I moved out of the doorway and sat on my bed. Newt walked to the door and stopped before exiting.

"Hey, Luna?"

"Yeah?"

"Your not alone. You maybe the only girl, but I'm here for you. No matter what." He said.

  I looked up at him. Could he get any nicer? His face was serious, but gentle. He had a sincere look on his face. I knew immediately that I could trust him, with anything.

"Thank you. You can trust me too, you know." I said, matching his expression.

  He nodded and smiled.

"So, you coming?"

"Where?" I asked.

"For a walk or jog. Come on." He said.

  I smiled and followed him out the door. This was the start to a great friendship.
