Y/Ns pov.
When I woke up, I felt arms around me. Last thing I remember is waking up, seeing around fifty boys surrounding me and a blonde boy looking at me. Then I blacked out.
When I woke up, arms were wrapped around me but they were muscly.
I opened my eyes. Everyone was asleep. That guy... whats his name. I shook him.
"Who are you?" I whispered.
"Minho. Greenie go sleep." He grumbled tiredly.
"What? Why am I here, Minho?" I asked trying to pronounce his name.
"Where? Glade? Creators put you here like us. And before you ask if we're stuck, maybe okay? We have a maze which you should never ever enter unless your a runner or you will die. So, the runners try to find an escape route everyday." He explained. I scoffed.
"Hows that working for you?"
"Eh."
"Anyway, thanks for the explaination but why am I... here? In your hammock? And why cant I remember anything except when I arrived at this stupid 'Glade'." I said, emphasing the word 'Glade'.
"They took away our memory, slint- head. I dont know why we're here in this glade but we are, arent we? So we need to escape, dont we?"
"Yeah, guess your right." I sighed.
"You should remember your name." He said.
"Yeah uhm... Y/N." I said.
"Well, Y/N, your here because no one wanted to sleep with you. They found it awkward so I had to. So, I have to wake up early because I'm the keeper of the runners. But not this early so go sleep."
"Wait no one wanted to? No one at all?"
"Look, i know, I was ashamed of them too, thats why it was up to me to volunteer."
"Woah woah wait, not even the blondie?"
"Which?"
"I dont know! Orange tank top uhm, british accent! Well i think, the only words I heard from him was 'Its a girl'."
"Oh, Newt? He didnt mind but we all thought that it wasnt good for his... limp."
"He has a limp? How?"
"Wait, so you wanted to sleep with him?" He changed the subject.
"Shut up." I hissed.
"Seriously? You have a crush on Newt?" He whispered.
"Shut up! Maybe okay?! I just need to get to know him. Whats his personalty like?"
"Hes pretty sweet, I must admitt. He isnt a wuss though. Yeah, perfect boyfriend is you ask me."
"Ha, Minewt."
"What?"
"You and Newt. Minewt." I laughed quietly.
"Shut up. We're just friends."
"Okay. Whatever." I giggled.
"Who else do you have a crush on?"
"You get we're just friends, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Thats my boy." I patted his arm and laid down, turning over.
"So, no more questions about the glade?" He asked. I heard a scrape and loud scratching noises.
"Whats that?"
"Maze doors opening."
"And that?" I asked, hearing sounds that sounded like a ball of goo rolling across a floor with spikes.
"A griever. Thats why you dont go in. Only runners do. Because grievers only come out at night and you stay in the glade were your safe."
"What about you and the runners?"
"We're trained. We're fine."
"O-okay. What do we do in the glade?"
"Every glader does their part! We should have a gathering about you today so we can pick out your job. We'll give you the options then. By the way," he started to whisper in my ear, "Newts a Track-Hoe if you wanna spend time with him."
I blushed.
"Right, get up. I gotta have breakfast and you should too. Then you can stay here why me and the runners do our job. Oh, Alby'll have the chat to you about the jobs." He said, pulling me to the table. He sat near me as the cook, who wasnt as bad as they said he was, handed us dinner.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"Thanks. Thats Frypan by the way." Minho said.
"Nice name, fits with the kitchen perfectly." I said. Frypan laughed.
"Your not so bad as a greenie. Your welcome by the way."
Thats when Newt sat near me. I nudged Minho but he was ignoring me because everyone else was at the table. I stomped on his foot.
"Ow!" He said.
"You okay?" Alby asked.
"Yup. Fine." He said before looking at me. I nodded my head over to Newt and he smirked. He opened his mouth to talk to Newt but I stomped on him.
"Ouch!" He said.
"Minho." Alby raised an eyebrow.
"I'm okay, really I just keep getting little cramps in my foot." He said, stomping on my foot all the while. After breakfast, I went to speak to Minho.
"Please, look, if you're my friend, please keep it a secret." I said.
"Fine. I have enough on my mind anyway."
"Thank you." Thats when Alby pulled me away.
"So your job. Do you wanna be a Track-Hoe, Bagger, Slopper-"
"Track-Hoe sounds cool. I'll do that." I interupted.
"Right, okay. I'll get Newt to show you how."
As much as I wanted him to say that, I hated when he did.
"Okay, lemme go chat to Minho before he goes in the maze."
"How'd you know about the maze?"
"Oh, Minho told me. He said they're trying to find an escape route and its eh."
"Okay but dont get any ideas on being a runner!" He called as I walked off.
"I wont!"
"Hey." Minho smiled.
"Hey uhm guess what?"
"You know how to get out the maze?" He said, obviously sarcastically.
"Yup!" I said. He knew I was lying so he rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, I'm now an official Track-Hoe but guess who my teacher is?"
"Newt?" He said, stating the obvious.
"Yup." I said, not knowing whether to sound excited or worried incase I screw things up.
"Oh and Minho." I said as he turned to head towards the maze.
"Yeah?" He sighed, turning around.
"Be careful." I smiled, "Dont you dare die."
He smirkes.
"Something I would've said." He hugged me, "Thanks, greenbean."
As I turned, Newt stood there, smiling.
"Already got a boyfriend?" He chuckled.
"We're just friends. Someone told me that you and him are actually a thing, hey, Minewt?" I said. He rolled his eyes.
"Shut it, greenie. We're friends."
I'm sure Minho said he was sweet.
"Well thanks for being so kind." I said.
"Sure thing. Whats your name? If you remember that." He said. I scoffed.
"Y/N."
"Well, I'm Newt. Alby always gives me the gladers that are hard to teach." Hr said, "Right, so its easy but since your a girl, I'll dumb it down-"
"WHATS WRONG WITH BEING A GIRL?! Just give me another teacher!" I yelled. Minho had to stop from going in the maze and had to grab my wrists as I went to punch Newt.
He twisted me and pulled me into a hug as I cried in his chest.
I hated Newt.
I hated the glade.
I hated the maze.
But most of all, I hated the creators and my life.
Chuck came up to me. I knew him, he was the so called annoying one but I thought that he just needed a friend. And he seems so young like a young boy whos like 13. I dont get why the creators put him here, risking this kids life. Or risking our lives and putting us here. I hated them and wanted to kill them. Chuck patted my back.
"Tell her to man up for shuck sake." I heard Newt.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP OKAY?! DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD I FEEL RIGHT NOW?! WE KNOW WHY YOU GOT PUT HERE! FOR BEING SO SHUCKING ANNOYING! Were are all the girls? Why cant I go to them?!"
"Because they arent here. You're the only girl." Minho said.
Suprise struck.
"What? I'm alone with you lot? Seriously it's like everyone in the glade is so friendly and then theres Newt. I hate him." I said to Minho, crossing my arms."I'm gonna go ask Alby to change my teacher." I glared at Newt as I headed off.
Newts pov.
I watched her walk away.
"Why?! Shes the greenie, this isnt like you! She thought you would be really nice to her!" Minho hissed. He checked his watch. "Forget this, I gotta go."
I watched him head into the maze.
"Why did you do that to Y/N? Why would someoe do that? It reminds me of when I was the greenie and-"
"Cram the shuck up, Chuck." I sighed.
"Fine. I need to get back to my job anyway and I think you do too." He raised an eyebrow before dissapearing. Maybe hes right.
