I was gonna put a picture of what Carly looks like, but I'd rather have you guys imagine what she looks like. Sometimes the picture of the girl ruins what you imagine and messes up the story so you guys can picture her anyway that you want. I'll try to keep updating as much as possible! I updated three times today so you know you won't have to wait long for other chapters! Back to the story!

After I showered and got dressed, newt and I walked through the glade towards about twenty boys running around with sticks, building a fire. It was huge. When the sun started to disappear behind the towering walls, the keepers were handed torches, lighting the fire once Alby gave the signal.

Newt smiled at me as he walked over, "so what do you think?"

"It's amazing, but it's a little much don't you think?"

"Nonsense we do it for all the greenies when they come up. Your taking it way better than they do though. Maybe it's because your a girl."

"Maybe-"

"Hey greenie" Alby greets as he walks up to me with Minho trailing behind.

"Oh I figured out my name!" I jump, "I was running away from Newt when I became really tired and stood up too quickly and then I fell and when I hit my face it just came to me. It's Carly!" I smile, not pausing for a breath between sentences.

"Shuck Carly, the name would have sufficed. I don't need your life story. Try breathing alright." He sighs and walks away clearly annoyed.

Minho and newt laugh.

"Awww Newty!! Is that a smile I see on your face?" Minho gasps with his hands on his cheeks in fake aww. "Did the pretty girl make you laugh?"

Newt punches him in the shoulder, "shut up Min Min." I laugh at their teasing. They clearly are really close friends and love each other, although they're guys and don't like to show it much. 

"So little lady would you care to join me by the fire." Minho places his arm across my shoulders and smirks again.

"Actually I'm gonna introduce her to everyone" newt playfully glares at him as he pushes his arm of me.

"I see! Your trying to keep Carly all to yourself" he smirks as newts face reddens as he pulls me along.

"Minhos a player so watch out okay. He's nice and all but he takes everything as a joke."

"I like him I say. He's funny." Newt frowns, seeming to be upset by my comment, although I have no idea why, considering that their friends. Wouldn't he want me to like his friends?

So over here we have Winston; keeper of the slicers, then zart; keeper of the track-hoes, Gally, who you so graciously met, he's keeper of the builders, fry Pan; keeper of the cooks obviously, although he's our only cook, and this is Clint; keeper of the med-jacks. I wave to all of them and they wave back exchanging small talk. They all seem nice enough, except for gally who proceeds to glare at me before stomping away. Newt ignores him so I do too.

We stop and sit on a log near the fire and newt hands me a drink. "Try some."

I take a sip and start choking, the liquid burning my throat. "What the hell is that?" I ask between coughs.

"Don't know. It's gally's creation."

"And you guys drink what he makes?!"
