What if Alby wasn't the first from the box? What if a girl named Parker was the first? What if everyone after that was a boy? How would they react? How would they treat her? Let's admit it though, any girl could keep the boys in line with the right amount of leeway...right?

"I know you've made Minho your second and I'm not a leader anymore."
"How do you know about Minho?" I ask, arms crossed.
"He came to rub it in."
"Of course he did." I say, rolling my eyes.
"There couldn't be Grievers, could they?" Amelia asks.
"It's a good thing they're scared of girls, then, huh?" Minho asks.
"How the hell has Parker not killed you yet?" Beth demands.

Other times it forces you to suppress your emotions, the problems you have slowly eat away at you as you hide behind a persona.

Guys aren't meant to cry anyway, right?
