The Glade || The Maze Runner [Completed]

Chapter 34 Kayla's POV

"Ew!" someone shouts which wakes me up as they kept saying it over and over again. I try to cover my head with my pillow before remembering Newt was lying beside me. Groaning, I fall back onto the bed. I'm almost asleep again when someone shouts.

"This is ridiculous! Shut your slintheaded mouths and get out before I cut out your tongue!" I shout. Newt groans, finally waking up. "Took ya long enough."

"Good morning to you too, sweetheart," Newt says, chuckling lightly. I roll my eyes.

"Newt! Tell your girlfriend to stop threatening us," Winston says.

"Kayla, there's a rule," Newt begins to say and I finish his sentence with him, "Never harm another Glader." I roll my eyes and Newt laughs.

"Very good," Newt says.

"Yeah yeah," I say. "Where's Minho and Candy?"

"Probably already down at breakfast," Newt says. My eyes light up and when Newt looks at me he laughs. "Well let's go then."

"Food!" I shout, jumping off the bed and sprinting across the room.

"Kayla! Slow down. Just because I was a runner doesn't mean I can run well anymore," Newt says as he follows behind me.

"Sorry Newtie," I say, slowing down so he can walk beside me. Newt still walks with a limp but I don't think it's that bad.

"You're alright," Newt says. When we near Frypan's kitchen, I can smell bacon and syrup. "Good breakfast today."

"I'm guessing it's bacon and pancakes. Again," I say.

"I thought you liked this meal," Newt says.

"Yeah but not every other day," I say, kicking at a stray pebble. The Glade is already starting to come alive. The chatters of the Gladers filling the lapse of silence.

"I know whatcha mean," he says. "Try havin' it for three years."

"No thanks," I say as we walk in.

"Kayla!" Frypan shouts when he spots me.

"Hey Frypan," I say.

"Live here for three years, you get fresh meat and suddenly I'm dirt under your shoes," Newt says.

"Fresh meat?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "I've been here a month."

"Newtie is just mad I didn't say hi to him. Hey Newt," Frypan says, chuckling as Newt rolls his eyes.

"This is bloody ridiculous," Newt says.

"Oh, wake up and look at the beetle blades," Frypan says.

"So, like, can I get food oooorrr is that not an option? 'Cause if it isn't, Kayla out," I say. Frypan rolls his eyes.

"Here ya go, shanks. Have fun," Frypan says, handing us two plates.

"Finally," I mumble under my breath. Newt and I walk outside to the usual tree and immediately spot Candy and Minho.

"Hey guys," I say, sitting down beside them.

"Hi Kayla," Candy says, smiling at me.

"Finally cared to join us?" Minho asks in a sassy tone. Leave it to Minnie.

"Only 'cause the Gladers were getting peeved off that she threatened to cut their tongues out," Newt says. Minho laughs and Candy rolls her eyes. I smile innocently and Candy giggles a little.

"Why did you threatened to do that? Disturb your sleep?" Candy asks.

"Yup," I say simply.

"Well, hurry up and scarf down your food. We got runnin' to do today," Minho says. Inwardly I groan. I like running I just hate the Maze but they need me.
After I finish, I run my plate and the others' to Frypan. All of them are waiting by the Maze doors when I come back out. I run over to them. Newt looks at me, worry etched into his face.
