Thomas
It was your first day in the Glade and you followed Thomas everywhere.He'd been the first person you saw after your mind was wiped clean of any memories.You knew a few other boys:Alby,Newt,Frypan,Winston,and Minho.But Thomas seemed like the nicest one and was very understanding.
That night,they held a big bonfire for you:the new Greenie.All the other boys seemed to be having fun and making jokes while they ate dinner.You ate your plate of food slowly with Thomas,sitting on the grass next to the large fire.
"You don't have to sit with me,you know,"you suddenly said.You didn't say much that day,so Thomas looked up at you,a little surprised.
"Why wouldn't I?"He asked.
You shrugged."I know you must want to hang out with some of your other friends."
"You're my friend,"he insisted with a smile.You smiled back.
You heard some boys grouped together,cheering.Interested,you tilted your head to see what was going on.You could see a boy being tossed about by another,larger boy.The bigger one was very tall and broad,and a little scary looking.
"That's Gally,"Thomas informed.He'd noticed you looking at the fight."No one ever beats him in a wrestle.You have to stay in the ring and try to push the other out."
You drew your attention back to Thomas."Sounds hard."
"Maybe you should give it a try."
You jumped as you turned around and looked up,Gally looming over you.You gulped.
"Uh,no thanks,"you said,not looking him in the eye.You stood and started to walk away.
"C'mon,I'll go easy on you,"he pushed.
You stood there,all eyes on you now.The other boys started chanting Greenie.You groaned inwardly."Ok,"you mumbled nervously.The boys cheered as you stepped into the ring with Gally.You were already regreting this.Gally didn't seem like the type to 'go easy',even if you were the only girl.
You knew you weren't going to make the first move,but he already did.He rushed towards you and shoved you no problem out of the ring.You fell on the ground.It hurt, but you got up anyway,holding your arm.You bravely stepped into the ring again,but when Gally moved towards you again,you immediately jumped out.Gally and the other Gladers just laughed.
Thomas approached you."Are you ok?"
"Yeah,"you said,shrugging.
"That was pretty brave,"he mentioned.
"Thanks,"you replied.You tried to hide a smile when he complimented you.It felt nice, especially coming from a cute boy.
Newt
At the bonfire that night,being held for you since you were the new Greenie,you stuck to Newt like glue.Him and Alby were the only two people you trusted so far.But even when Newt gave you the tour of Glade and explained the rules to you,you stayed as silent as a mouse,too shy to say anything.You looked down at the ground mostly.
But,even with you being so shy,Newt would still talk to you and be very kind and inviting.He talked and you listened while you both ate.You took little food,not being very hungry.
"So I've told you about the Glade,the maze,the Gladers jobs....I think that's it,"he said smiling at you.You smiled slightly back,then looked back down again.
"What job will I have?"You spoke for the first time.Your voice was unexpectedly soft and light.Your words were barely a squeak.
Newt looked at you,surprised."Oh so you do talk,"he joked.You giggled a little,then he proceeded to answer your question."That depends what you're good at.To be honest I don't think you'd make much of a Runner,Slicer,or Builder."
You nodded.Suddenly,a tall boy,who you heard was Gally,called to Newt."Hey Newt! What do you say?You think the new Greenie is up for up for a bit of a fight?"
'Fight!'you thought.'Is he crazy?!'You looked up at Newt worriedly.
"I think you'd have to ask her,"he responded,looking at you.All eyes were on you and you felt like you'd start crying from embarrassment and attention.You avoided any eye contact from anyone.
You could feel Gally looking at you.Somehow you ended up in the ring by the bonfire anyway.It all happened so fast you were probably pushed into the ring.You hated this and wish you could just disappear.
"The rules are simple,Greenie,"Gally explained."I'll try to push you out of thr ring,but you have to stay in."
You started panicking,but you looked up so you could see him.Your heart rate spead up and you started sweating nervously.With one push of one hand,Gally pushed you off balance and you fell to your knees.It was unexpected and you hated this.You suddenly curled up into the fetal position and your eyes watered.The crowd of boys chuckled. Where was Newt?
"C'mon Greenie,"Gally said annoyed.He started nudging you with his foot.
"Gally!"There was the British accent!"Can't you see she's scared!Stop bullyin' her!"Newt scolded Gally.Gally held his hands up in a sarcastic surrender.
Newt gently grabbed your shoulders."Hey,are you ok?"He asked,helping you up.You nodded slowly.You both walked away and you felt oddly protected with Newt's arm around you.
Minho
Being the new Greenie was hard.No one really acknowledged you,and you wanted to hang around the hot Minho boy you met that day.But he was with his other friends and you'd feel weird just walking up to them.So,you decided to get his attention another way.
You'd spotted alot of boys surrounding a muscular boy wrestling a bunch of other boys and beating their butts.You thought if you could take him on,then Minho would definately notice you.
When Gally,the muscular boy in the ring,beat yet again another boy,you stepped in."I'd like to try,"you spoke up.
All the boys laughed and Gally rolled his eyes."Really?"He asked.You nodded.Gally shook his head."Whatever."
You glanced around,and sure enough,Minho had joined the circle,arms crossed, interested to see you fight Gally.You were determined to beat him,although deep down you knew you couldn't.Gally suddenly rushed at you and you quickly evaded him.The second time you weren't so lucky.He tackled you to the ground and you got the wind knocked out of you.You sucked in a breath and Gally picked you up and tossed you toward the edge of the ring.You fell down,but got up.You then ran and jumped onto his back.He fell to his knees,but wasn't going to be beaten by you.You fell off his back and he grabbed you and flung you out of the ring.The boys stepped back so you wouldn't run into them.You got up,putting a hand over your stomach and breathing heavily.Gally approached you and stuck his hand out.
"Good job,"he said.
You smiled."Thanks."You started walking away to get something to eat,when Minho walked up to you.
"Hey Greenie,"he said.You looked at him."That was impressive."
You nodded,then he left.After he couldn't see you anymore,you smiled crazily.'Yes!'You thought.
Gally
You sat alone,eating your dinner.You hated this place and the boys that were in it. Especially that show off,Gally.He had a proud walk and you hated it.And his attitude.He was wrestling other Gladers,trying to push them out of a ring surrounded by other Gladers cheering them on.
"Hey Gally!"You heard a Glader say."Try fighting the new girl!"
Some Gladers laughed."Yeah right,"Gally said sarcastically."Like I'd have any trouble fighting a girl."
You scowled.Why would he assume you couldn't fight?You were touph!
"Excuse me,"you said,pushing past the boys to get into the ring."You think I can't fight you?"
Some Gladers 'oohed' and others whistled.You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms, leaning your weight on you right side.
"Fine,"Gally said,shrugging."Like it'll be hard fighting a gi..."
You cut him off by running at him and pushing him.It was hard,but you did it.He stumbled off blance and you advanced.You gave him another push but this time,he caught himself and grabbed your wrist.He pulled you down to the ground and got on top of you.You struggled under his weight.
"Sometimes you need to accept when you lose,"Gally taunted.
This angered you and you brought your knee up,and kneed him the the side.He grunted and you pushed him off you.He still was stronger and grabbed your waist,and threw you.He actually threw you out of the ring and you landed like a rag doll.You couphed, clutching your side.Gally got up and walked over to you.
"You ok?"He asked in a serious tone.
"Does it look like it?"You groaned.He offered a hand to help you up.Reluctantly,you took it.He pulled you up and you put your hands on his firm chest to balance yourself. You both noticed the awkwardness of the moment and took a step back from one another.
"Um...good job,"he said.He then turned and walked away.
You started to walk away too,then stopped,and looked over your shoulder to look at him again,walking away.You expression softened.Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy.
