Newt

We are just squirrels in a wheel

Avi had been in the Glade for six months. Previously, the elevator only carried boys, so the girl's arrival came as a real shock to everyone. She was assigned to help Frypan in the kitchen.

At first, Avi had a hard time adjusting to living among only boys, but over time she settled in and even became friends with some of them. She was closest with Minho, Chuck, and Frypan. Perhaps Newt, too, but she herself wasn't sure yet what was going on between them.

Newt wasn't particularly kind or caring, but he wasn't exactly mean either. Avi often tried to engage him in conversation, but he almost always responded briefly and didn't engage in conversation.

One night, Avi was sitting by the fire. Her eyes were starting to close when she heard a rustling sound. Turning around, she saw Newt.

"Am I disturbing you?" Newt asked, sitting down next to Avi. "Can't sleep either?"

"Yes. I keep wondering... what's the point of all this?" Avi replied with a shrug.

"Do you feel that way too? Like we're just hamsters in a wheel?" Newt said, looking Avi straight in the eyes.
