“So, as you were already explained to, you are in the Glade. My name’s Alby and his name is Newt.” He said pointing at the British boy, who I know as Newt. Newt had gone in to shake Chris’ and my hands, expressing a very welcoming smile on his face. Alby, on the other hand, was much more serious and tough. “Do you Greenies remember your names?” Alby asked.
“Yeah, I’m Chris and she’s Scarlett. She is my older sister.” Chris said glancing at me. Chris’ last words, ‘older sister’, all the sudden made me feel a big hole in my heart. It was the same kind of feeling you would get when you missed a family member or even a beloved pet. I don’t know why I was feeling this; all I know is that it wasn’t pleasant.

“So, there are only three quite simple rules living here in the Glade. Number One; once you get your job, you have to work and work hard. There is absolutely no time for any slackers. Number Two; you should never, ever hurt another Glader. In order to keep everything in peace and order, we have to be able to trust each other.

I wanted to know more, but with Alby’s very unfriendly tone and scowl on his face, I didn’t have the guts to say anything else. I just listened and so did Chris.
“Once it’s morning,” Newt had started saying, but then his eyes flickered upward, briefly looking out into the sky. For some reason he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say. Confused as to why he stopped, I took a peak at the sky and saw that its normal blue color was changing. It turned purple, magenta, and even a scarlet. The sun was setting. Its beauty dazed me; it almost looked artificial and fake, as if it were just a painting. I looked back down when I heard Newt’s voice speak up again. “Alby, are the Runners back?” He asked
