~Wicked is good~

An alarm went off.
"What is that?" I asked Gally
"I don't know, it sounds like the alarm for the greenie but it's not..." he told me. We ran over to where the noise was coming from. It was the box, but no greenie. Just a note. I picked it up and read it out to everybody:

Instead of giving you a lot of
supplies every month, you
will get a little every week.
Remember, Wicked it good.

We stood there confused staring at the note.
"Anyone got any requests? I mean it can't hurt to ask for stuff can it?" I said to everyone.
"Greenie's right, everyone have their requests in the box within the hour." The gladers stared at Alby, he'd never agreed to anything like that before. "What? I want stuff too, just like you shanks." And with the all the people gathered around the box dispersed to go and write their requests.

I decided that since I had some time before the request deadline came I would go for a wander. I headed for the forest and once I got under the cover of the trees, I ran. I wanted to go to one of the corners and just sit, or lie down, or climb a tree. I wasn't sure yet. But as I neared the corner, the thick undergrowth started thinning out, then grass became a white sand beach. And foliage became water, this place was beautiful. I had to ask for a bathing suit! So I sprinted back to the homestead and grabbed a pencil and some paper.

Hello Creators.
I would like;
Pain killers
A heat pad
A bathing suit (and a spare towel)
A hairbrush.
Thank you, (Y/N).

There. I rushed over to the box and dropped my note in. Mine wasn't the first, I would say there were about... maybe eight? I wonder what everyone is asking for?

Just then, Newt and Minho came back through the maze doors. Why are they so early??
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!!! Where is (Y/N)!?" Minho was screaming my name, why? I ran over.
"We're not... alone... in the shucking... maze!" Newt told me, I could tell that they had been sprinting. They were out of breath and sweaty.
"What's out there!?"
"We're not... sure. We didn't get a look at it... only... heard it." Minho said to me between his panting.
"It made a clicking noise, and then it screamed. Not a human scream, shuck it was far from that! But we got spooked and we made a run for it."
"Wait... Ben and George are still out there!" I realised and started to get scared for them, would they come back? What would happen to them if they got stuck out there? I didn't particularly want to find out about the last question. "Keep this quiet, just between us three, Ben and George okay?" I told them, we didn't want to cause a panic around the glade. "I'll get Gally to build us a little room where we can meet after our runs and tell each other what we've encountered." We agreed and then left to wait by the doors for the other two runners to come back.

An hour passed, the doors close in ten minutes, where are they? I started to panic again, and then Newt voiced my thoughts.
"Where are they?! They have to be nearly back!" I could see the panic on his face, him and George were quite close. I felt bad for him.
"They'll be here." I looked at his watch, "they still have eight minutes." I looked at him reassuringly and he returned my gaze with a thankful one. I felt like I had to, you know, to look after him, so I grabbed his hand and squeezed it in a hope of comforting him more. He looked a little startled but then he squeezed back and brought my hand up to his face, kissed it, and just let it hang down next to him.

"There!" No more than five minutes later, Ben and George came into view. They were jogging along calmly. "Hurry up shanks the doors close in three minutes!" I shouted at them, boy would I tell them off for scaring the three of us half to death. As they neared the doors they sped up a little as they noticed the time.
"Sorry we're so late," I noticed George was limping slightly, "I tripped on a vine and twisted my ankle."
I nearly didn't tell them off but I still did.

"YOU TWO SHANKS," I grabbed them both by the ear and pulled them down so they were eye level with me since they were both taller than me. "ARE IN TROUBLE. YOU SCARED THE LIVING SHUCK OUT OF US! WE WERE SO WORRIED! WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THOSE DOORS CLOSE AND TO BE HONEST, I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT! SO YOU ALL," I looked at all four boys, "BETTER GET BACK BEFORE THOSE DOORS CLOSE, OR I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF, IF YOU SURVIVE THE NIGHT!" I didn't know what came over me, I just suddenly felt protective over every boy in the glade. Like how a mother would be protective of her kids. A mother. I wonder if I'll have a chance to be one of them... and then I broke down crying. Why? I didn't know. I took myself by surprise. Mood swings. Shuck! Now all the other gladers will find me so weird.

"(Y/N)! Hey! Hey... shhh... calm down it's okay... we're all alright... nothing bad has happened... we're all safe..." Newt calmed me down but I was still crying. I looked at him and then threw my arms around him. "Remind me to never get on your bad side love..." he chuckled. And suddenly, I was fine again. All the tears were gone, the only thing that made it obvious I had been crying was my puffy eyes and wet cheeks.
"Thanks Newt." I sniffed "I don't know what came over me. I just wondered if we'd ever get out of this place and if I would be able to be a- never mind." I had completely lost my up-beat attitude I had less than two hours ago. "Oh and we now get to ask the creators for stuff we need and one luxury item. Go and find a pencil and some paper then write your requests then drop them in the box." I waved them off and they excitedly went to get the paper. All except for George.

"Hey um, (Y/N)?"
"Mhm?"
"Can you take me to Clint and Jeff please?" I nodded remembering that he was limping. "Thanks!"
"It's alright shank." I put his arm around my shoulders so I could support his weight and I walked him over to the med-jacks hut.
