Chapter 9: One Last Happy Day

There was one last happy day in the glade. And that was it. That was the end of the perfection of the glade. After that it all went down. They started their dark days. Their own times of poison and death. But that last day, everyone in the glade would treasure for the rest of their lives. If they were even going to be able to live it.

Jobs had been established. Everything was running smoothly. Linnea, whom everyone looked up to in the glade because she was the first person there, was put in charge; but she didn't really want to be in charge of everything, so she made up something called a Keeper. 

For all the jobs in the glade there was one Keeper for each. Linnea had appointed Minho to be the Keeper of the Runners, which was his job and hers. She didn't want to be the one completely responsible for all of the problems that could possibly happen out there. Minho, by the way, became one of the most popular, and sassiest gladers in the glade. All of his shyness and fear basically crept away after that first day. When he finally realized that he had a friend. When he had Linnea.

There were many Runners. After about six months of getting people they had enough to have more. Being a Runner was very hard to become. You had to have skills. For quite a while the only Runners were Linnea, Minho, and Newt. Until the next month. Linnea always made it a routine at that point to stay away from her job the Greenie day. That next greenie day they got four more Greenies, one of which would become a Runner, and one of Linnea's best friends. His name was George and with Linnea, the two were known as the smile and light of the glade. The two were always making people laugh. They were the smile. George was a tall boy, about two inches taller than Linnea's five foot eight self, and had dark brown hair with sparkling brown eyes. 

So George was a Runner, but another person that came up with them that day, was Winston, who established the job that was to be known as a Slicer. Basically a Slicer cuts up and kills the animals for the cooks to make food from. Based off of food, another taller, dark skinned boy came up, whose name was funny enough, Frypan. Frypan became known as the Keeper of the Cooks.

The last person that came up in the glade that time, was a small boy named Jeff. Jeff was the first person to become a Med-jack, which was the glader term for a doctor. 

All of them put their mark on the wall. All of them knew what lurked in the maze, and all of them were somewhat happy. But that wouldn't last.

So during the next two months they were sent up with even more people. Zart, who was a blonde boy that came to be known as the Keeper of the Track-hoes which was a gardener. They really had weird names for jobs.

Another was Clint, who worked with Jeff in the Med-jack field and took the position of being the Keeper of the Med-jacks.  There were many others that came to be there with them, such as a boy named Ben, who became their fifth addition to the Runners.

Gally -- Yeah, that dick-- became the Keeper of the builders. After all, he had called Linnea's shelter disgusting and so the female challenged the large boy to build them a new one, and so he did, and many more. Linnea even had her own area where she went to get away from everyone.

Linnea put Nick in charge of the glade, as he pretty much had been when it was just them. Nick, later appointed Alby to be his second-in-command. Alby proudly took to that job as he pretty much had already been bossing people around and only stopped when Linnea was in his view. 

Most of the boys honestly seemed afraid of her. Maybe because they liked her, maybe because she was the only female there, which she still didn't know why. She would never know. Linnea just kept to herself and her best friends. Minho, George, Nick, and Newt.

Happy days were there, but sad and scary times were there to come. And Linnea had only been there for six months. She was sure to have the journey of a lifetime. 

Author's note:

Okay, so this is a filler chapter and I just kind of needed to clear things up before  things get dark, as I mentioned multiple times this chapter. I think there will be like three or four chapters until Thomas, so I am super excited for that. Also, George, as you may know from the movies and I think the books, is Brenda's brother who was an immune and was sent into the maze. He is going to be played by Tyler Posey. (Because, why not?) I'll put a picture of him below so that you can have a visual of him. I might be posting a bit less because next week I have a huge field trip and it starts at like 5:40 and goes till 7:30 at night and so I will probably be super tired and won't want to write so sorry about that. I also am doing basketball which takes up quite some time.  Please keep reading this and comment if you enjoy it! I really love writing for you!
