?'s POV
I had a burning pain in my head, almost blinding. My whole body felt like it was going to explode. I screwed my eyes tightly shut, hoping that the horrible sensation would stop. Suddenly there was a jolt and the harsh vibrations stopped. I still kept them shut pondering over the same question in my mind. What should I do next? A bright orange glow filled the space I was in and I heard mumbles from above. Maybe I was in heaven... No that was stupid, I wasn't dead, was I? I slowly opened my eyes, cautiously because I was not sure where I was and I looked up to see a crowd of boys all craning their necks to see. Where on earth was I? My next question was what was with the problem with gender, too many boys here and not many girls (actually none at all). A boy interrupted my thoughts as he gasped loudly before he spoke, solemnly, but strangely frightened as well. "It's a, a, .....girl..." He said pointing at me; no s**t! I'm a flying cow from Jupiter, of course I'm a girl! I didn't say that of course, I wasn't mad... I could clearly see that some boys were definitely more intelligent than others... Others joined in and gasped and took a step back. Another, slightly more confident boy spoke up next. "Its a girl, hey look fella's it's a bird!" All his friends shouted gleefully. All this noise was killing my headache I felt like yelling 'shut up' but I was clearly a newcomer here so I didn't feel it was my place. A tall muscular boy with dirty blonde hair stepped forward and came to my rescue. "Shut up shanks!" He boomed. Everyone quietened down slightly and looked at the boy as he bent over the box looking at me. I couldn't work out with what expression but at least he wasn't saying anything stupid which I had experienced quite a lot since the two minutes I've been here... He jumped in next to me shaking the surface. "Well, well, well another greenie" he mumbled to himself. He sat there looking at me for a minute or two. "Need some help Gally? You can't have her all to yourself" One boy with brown hair asked; and chuckling. "NO! And I do not want her to myself" He retorted. "Jolly decent of you to share Gal" any other boy called out and this caused the whole group to snigger and laugh. Gally (the boys name) rolled his eyes slung me over his shoulder as if I was as light as a feather, and hauled himself out of the box. He put me down abruptly so I gasped and after I calmed down a little, I looked at my surroundings. I lay back down on the grass for a minute, taking in what was happening to me, this was all too much and these assholes were not helping. The breeze swept through my hair and face, which was so refreshing but then I realised all the boys were all looking at me once again. This was like a whole world I'd never seen before. I sat up and then stood up as I was amazed as to what I could see. There was a wide stretch of field with little huts planted around the space, at one corner there was a forest and at the other there was some sort of pool or water space. All around were colossal walls, grey stone with blankets if emerald ivy. I wondered what was beyond those walls... Maybe the way out, wherever it was, it reminded me of a zoo. Being caged and trapped between walls, and with people who made me feel like a piece of meat. Not that we were exactly trapped, but the same principle applies. The walls must have been around 100 feet high at least... Interrupting my thoughts, a dark boys face shoved itself into mine. "What's your name greenie?"
"Give her a rest Alby, she's only just got here" the boy with brown hair called, he walked up to me. "I'm Newt by the way, I'll be your friend here and not in a weird, creepy way" he held out a hand and I weakly took it and tried my best to smile. "Sorry this might be a bit weird for you but some of us lads haven't seen a girl for almost three years so you coming here is definitely.... Special" he finished and grinned around him. I smiled, wondering whether or not that was a compliment. Gally walked over. "I'm Gally if Alby isn't around you answer to me, got it?" he said under his breath to me shortly and started to walk away. Gally intrigued me, Newt's compliment must of given me a surge of confidence as I replied "Eye eye captain Gally", he turned around, rolled his eyes and then walked off...
Maybe it will be quite interesting here.
