Thomas

Beep. Beep.

The greenie alarm went off announcing the arrival of a new glader. I sighed and went to stand near the doors of the box.

Gladers from all directions came running, eager to know who the new kid was. I on the other hand stood silently on one side with Minho and Newt.

I secretly hoped that it would be a girl.

A loud grating noise came from the box as it came to a halt. I remembered how it was when I first arrived. I had been a scared little girl who knew nothing about anything. But here I was now, a med-jack.

The doors slid open and Minho and Newt talked in hushed whispers. Probably deciding who would go into the box.

As the doors slid open completely, it was Minho who lowered himself into the box.

"Day one greenie, rise and shine," Minho's voice echoed.

I peeked into the box and saw a brown haired boy looking around with his curious gaze. I gave him a soft smile as his eyes met mine. He simply nodded and continued looking around. Minho helped him get out of the box, then started checking the supplies that had come up with the boy.

Newt approached the boy and asked him his name.

"I'm not really sure, but, I guess it's Thomas," the boy said in a quiet tone. I felt sorry for him. Hell, I felt sorry for everyone in this shucked up place.

Everyone started hooting and cheering as soon as Thomas said his name. I smiled a little and then remembered I was a med-jack and there were a few boys in the homestead I had to look after.

I walked away from the enthusiastic crowd. Thomas seemed like a good kid. At least he didn't klunk is pants on the first day.

I met Clint on the way to the homestead.

"You guys need help with the banged up guys?" I asked him.

"Nah, but you can make me a sandwich," he said and we both laughed. Frypan would kill me before I even set foot in his precious kitchen.

With nothing to do, I decided to roam around and waste my time. I started towards the deadheads but stopped when I saw Thomas sitting under a tree with his face in his hands. I presumed his tour started tomorrow.

"Hey newbie, you okay?" I asked. He didn't reply.

I quietly sat beside him.

"Are you scared of this place?" He suddenly asked.

"I was. But now it feels like home, ya know," I shrugged. "And anyway, you'll get used to it."

"I hope so." He sighed. "But what is this place? And why can't I remember anything?" He looked distraught.

"This place is called the glade," I said slowly, "And none of us remember who put us here or for what reason we were thrown here."

"Is there a way out?" He asked, looking into my eyes. For a second I almost drowned in them.

I cleared my throat. "It isn't my place to tell you that. I'm sorry."

I looked up and saw Alby walking towards us. He waved at us and I patted the space beside me, gesturing for him to sit.

"No thanks y/n, I've got some work to do. Anyway, good thing you met the newbie. Could you give him the tour? Newt and I have some important stuff to discuss." Alby looked at me with pleading eyes. How could I say no to the keeper of the glade?

"Sure," I flashed him a smile. Alby gave me a pleased look and patted my head before running away.

"So I guess it's just you and me for a while, buddy," I awkwardly ran a hand through my hair.

Thomas was quiet for a while.

"I'm glad it's you who's giving me the tour. I wanted you from the beginning anyway," Thomas grinned.

Now what was I supposed to make of that?

A/N - *wink wink*

Newt

The box was moving upwards at an alarming speed. I looked around and saw a few crates on one side. I forced myself to look up and I saw a red light coming closer. It's the end, I thought. I closed my eyes and braced for the impact. It never came. I looked up and saw two lids opening and brightness engulfed me. I shielded my eyes and then it hit me. I couldn't remember anything except y/n, which I guess was my name. My eyes got accustomed to the bright light and I once again looked up. I swear my neck hurt from looking up so much. Anyways, so I saw about 40-50 boys looking at me.

"It's a girl!" one of them exclaimed.

"Is she hot?" I heard from behind.

"She's mine!" another shout.

"Stop it shuck-faces" I heard someone shout and all the voices died down.

A boy, about an year or two older to me jumped in the box.

"It is a girl" He said shocked

"Oh wow! Thanks for noticing. I didn't know earlier" I said, sarcasm dripping like venom in every word.

"Hey hey, now let's not be rude in here" The boy said putting his hands up.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I-I don't remember anything. And I'm pretty scared too" I said looking down. I couldn't really make out his features as he was standing opposing the sunlight or whatever it was.

"Newt" He said puuting his hand out. I grabbed it and got up.

"I'm y/n. I guess" I said smiling.

"Well y/n, you're stuck with me in here for now" he said chuckling. That's when I saw that he was skinny but a complete hottie. I blushed.

"You're pretty" he said, "and I'm not letting anyone hit on you" He said winking at me.
