A Girl in the Glade

An Early Morning

•-•

-Opals POV-

I slowly opened my eyes the sun was just coming up over the walls. Unlike the night before Newt looked at peace in his sleep. I checked my watch, it was 5:23. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep so I slowly climbed out of bed making sure I didn't wake Newt.

I changed into my usual clothes and threw on some shoes. I walked over to Newt who was still sleeping. I pulled the covers farther up so they reached his shoulders then pushed his hair out of his eyes giving him a kiss on the forehead.

"See ya later love" I whispered as I headed out the door.

On my way out of homestead I ran into Ably.

"Your up early" he stated

"Couldn't sleep" I combed my hair out with my fingers.

"Wanna do me a favor and wake up the greenie" he asked

"Sure"

"Okay meet me by the doors" he called as he walked away.

I walked through the hammocks until I found Thomas sleeping by Chuck who was nearly falling off his hammock.

Thomas's eyes were moving under his eyelids and his face was scrunched up.

"Thomas" I whisper shouted "Thomas" his eyes shot open but I covered his mouth before he could yell "shhh"

He nodded and I lifted my hand "follow me" I said

I weaved my way through the sleeping boys Thomas not far behind me.

I heard a small yelp and turned to see Thomas apologizing to an angry Winston.

"Clumsy shank" I glared.

We made it out of the sleeping quarters and made our was to the door where Alby was waiting.

"So what are we doing" Thomas asked.

"I don't know" I answered

"W-what do you mean, why'd you wake me up then"

"Alby told me to" I could tell he was getting frustrated with my short answers.

"You really have no idea" we were half way to the doors now.

"I have an idea"

"What is it" he inquired

"You'll see"

He clenched his jaw and rolled his eyes

I chuckled.

"What" he asked defensively

"Your so easy" I giggled

"What do you mean" he furrowed his eyebrows

"It's so easy to get you angry" I smiled

The greenie rolled his eyes

We were at the doors now. Alby was standing there holding a knife.

"Thanks O" Alby said.

The greenies eyes stared at the knife.

"He's not gonna stab you if that's what your thinking" I joked

"I wasn't thinking that" he said way to fast

I snorted.

Before us was the wall next to the door, it was usually covered when the maze was open. On it was names carved by every greenie to ever come here, some crossed out. I looked at my name it was under Minhos and above Winstons. My eyes fell on a crossed out name Jack I felt my stomach churn at the thought of him. Both times when I saw Jack sucked. I can't believe it's only been a few days since then. The picture of jacks last moments were burned into my mind.
