Over the past two days, I'd developed a routine. Morning shower, report to kitchens, eat with the boys, joke around and work with the Cooks, then dinner and fire.

But today was the one week mark of me being in the Glade. And, it was the day the box came up with supplies, and hopefully, some extra clothes that actually might fit me.

I had my shower, which I no longer needed Thomas to escort me to, but he did anyways and talked to Newt or Minho or whoever was up this early. Since the Cooks also handled the supplies and inventory, we made a quick and easy breakfast, made lunch ahead of time, cleaned, then waited for the box to come up.

Around 10 am it finally arrived. On this side of the doors, there was an alarm type sound, signaling it had arrived. I hadn't heard it when I came up.

The guys lifted the heavy steel doors and lowered our makeshift ladder into the Box.

They started carrying up the animals, so they could get them to the farm. I looked around, then saw a pile of clothes. There were at least 3 extra outfits and some more underclothes. I lifted one of the shirts up to look at it and a piece of paper slipped out and fell to the ground.

I crouched down to pick it up. Maybe it was just my note I had written, returned with the clothes. I opened it.

This is the last Box. Ever.

My stomach dropped to the floor, and I struggled to breathe.

This is what I'd wanted right? To get out.

But, we didn't know how to get out, as far as I'm aware.

"Hey Fry" I strangled out, trying to sound normal. I didn't want the others to see yet and panic.

'Yeah?"

"C'mere"

The boys were almost out of the Box to carry more animals to the farm. They'd be gone at least 5 minutes.

Once they were out. I opened the note and handed it to Fry.

"Holy clunk... what? why?"

"I don't know how much you know, but Alby said he thinks that this is a test. I think we're supposed to get out, not stay here forever."

"We've been doing fine here for the past two years."

"Not all of you." I said pointedly, remembering the graveyard.

"Fry, we have to get out of here. Do you not feel it? The second day I was here, I felt it. I sometimes think I'm going crazy, like I'm the only one who wants to leave."

"You're right, greenie girl. I know you're right, but what if we can't figure it out? We have to tell Newt, and Alby, and Thomas and Minho"

"We will." We decided we'd wait til tonight, when Thomas and Minho got back. I also decided that I had to know what they were hiding.

It was hard getting through the day acting as if everything was normal. I'd have thought surely Gino, Marshall, and Sam would notice we weren't as into the jokes today, but they didn't. Every now and then I'd make eye contact with Fry, and it gave me the resolve not to crack and tell them.

I felt guilty though, like I knew they were in danger but I wasn't telling them.

Finally, we got dinner set up and Thomas and Minho came back. We still had to wait for them to go to the Runner's Keep. I didn't know how we'd keep Chuck away.

I saw Newt and Alby come from the council chamber, so I walked over to them, Fry followed.

"Newt, Alby, we have to tell you something. And Thomas and Minho." I said.
