Robyn rested against a tree in the corner of the glade, reading. That's how she spent most days. The quiet chatter of gladers and banging on hammers could be heard and she reached page 100 of her book. Today the breeze was calm and the sun lit up the glade. She felt at ease. The sound of footsteps grew louder until a body collapsed beside her. Frypan.
"You're always reading Robyn" he said grabbing the book and placing it beside her.
She shot him a look before saying ,
"I like reading , it's calming"
"I could use some help in the kitchen sometimes you know" he smiled at her with his cheesy grin.

How anyone couldn't hate Frypan, she wouldn't know. He was there for everyone and was a genuine boy. She loved him like a brother.

"Frypan, you won't let me do anything in that kitchen, i cant even touch the spoo-"
Before she could finish he yelled, " Don't talk about my spoons! Now come on, i need your help"
He stared straight into her eyes almost pleading, until she tried to grab her book and continue reading. His hand got there first and held it away.

"I'll give u some extra cake"

"deal"

He fist pumped the air as he knelt down and grabbed her hand. He dragged her across the glade, towards the kitchen.

————————

The hungry gladers lined up in front on the kitchen, the brunette girl handing them dishes of beef stew.

"Fry we need more of it, we are running low" she said as she turned to face her best friend, who was frantically running around the place.

"My spoons have gone. Did u take my spoons?" he exclaimed.

Robyn giggled as she shook her head and began to get back to work of serving food.

As she turned around, her eyes met a set of deep brown eyes. A tall boy stood in front of her , a nervous energy radiating off him. He had blonde, messy hair and a slim figure.  He must be the new greenie from the beginning of the week. She didn't care to go to the box when a new boy came into the glade, most of them were the same anway. Childish boys. But he seemed different, he seemed scared, he seemed upset.

An arm pushed her shoulder and Frypan stood in front of her.

"Erm are you ok? You froze, are you going to give him some food?" he asked

Robyn shook her head as she came out of her trance. What just happened?

"ye- yeah... i'm sorry" she said as she dropped the bowl at the greenies hands.

"Thank you..."

"It's Robyn" she smiled softly

"newt" he said returning the smile

"newt" he said returning the smile
