~Bet~

As they had said, the creators sent up the supplies, and surprisingly our requests, the day after. I snatched up my box before any of the boys could have a look and then I took it to my hut, opened it up, excited to see the bathing suit. My heart dropped when I saw what they'd given me. Why the hell would they give me a bikini!? I sighed. I'll have to wait till after my period to go into the lake. I took a paracetamol and went on with my day, it was the runners day off 'cause it was a Sunday.
"Hey greenie! You comin' out anytime soon?" It was Newt.
"Yes, just hold on a sec!" I called back. I put my (Y/H/L) (Y/H/C ) hair in a medium-height ponytail and left my hut to meet the blonde Brit.

"Guess what the creators gave me!" He said excitedly.
"Hmmm, a puppy?" I said sarcastically
"Actually, yes!"
"What!?"
"I'm kidding!" He laughed at me so I made a joke pouting face at him. "Oh come on greenie! I asked for a film projector and a big white cloth the watch it on."
"You're kidding again aren't you." I was skeptical that they'd actually do that.
"Nope! And we've got films! So Alby has agreed that Saturday night is film night! Yay!" He elbowed me in the side
"Any romcoms?" I said dramatically fanning my face with one hand when the other was on my forehead.
"I don't know... you'll have to check. Come on! Let's go have breakfast before it's all gone!" He grabbed my hand and dragged me outside and down to the kitchen.

"Haha! I win the bet shanks!" Minho shouted at the rest of the boys on his table.
"What bet?" Me and Newt looked at each other confusion clear in our faces.
"That you two would suck it up and get together! You flirt all the buggin' time!" He answered my question.
Me and Newt unlinked our hands and then he said, "we're not dating Minho. We're just friends."
I looked at him momentarily, but that was all that was needed. He understood what I wanted to do. I wanted to mess with them, he gave me the tiniest of nods so that only I could notice it. "Blondie's right. We're not dating! Come on baby let's go get breakfast." And with that we ran off to get our eggs and bacon off fry, leaving Minho and his table open mouthed and gawking at each other.

It's another one of our days off as Runners. A Wednesday. My period was over so I took the chance to try out my bikini. I slipped it on underneath my clothes grabbed my towel and ran off into the woods and found the little lake again. I peeled off my clothes and folded them neatly in a pile next to my outstretched towel. I ran to the waters edge and lightly padded into the water, it was very refreshing because like usual, it was boiling in the glade. I had my hair up in a bun so it wouldn't get wet and give away the fact I'd been swimming. If the boys found out, there would be no chance of having a relaxing and peaceful time.

I had been just floating in the crystal clear waters for about ten minutes when I heard a voice. "So, when were you going to tell the rest of us about this place?" Minho.
"Shuck Minho you scared me! And I was going to tell you shanks later, the runners first, then the rest of the glade."
"Well greenie. I think you should've told us about this place when we could get some swim trunks." His eyes widened as he realised that my clothes were neatly folded next to my towel.  "Let me see your swimsuit!!"
"No." I looked at him defiantly, refusing to get out. My cheeks started to go red.
"Don't make me steal your stuff." He looked serious.
"Fine!" I got up out of the water,
Minho wolf-whistled in response "Newt is one lucky guy."
"Minho! Shut up! And you better not be flirting with me or-" Minho cut me off.
"Don't worry greenie..." he paused as if debating whether or not to tell me. All his previous confidence, gone. He took a deep breath and carried on

"I'm gay."

I stood there, staring at him. I let out the girliest of screams (not too loud) and ran out to him. "Who's the lucky guy!?" I couldn't wait to hear who Minho had a crush on.
"George" he said with a warm smile on his face.
"Okay but, I have to set you up with him! You two would be perfect!" I was getting over excited.
"Do you think he's gay though?" Minho asked me
"I didn't think of that. I'll find out for you, now give me back my clothes and my towel!"
"Nope!" And with that he ran off, he took my shoes too.
"Minho! You'll give away this entire place!" I said as I started to run after him but because of my lack of shoes, and him still having his on, it made it hard to run through the undergrowth. The wind was cold on my damp body and I started to shiver as I half ran through the forest after the shank I knew as Minho.

"Guys! Guys!! Look at the greenie! She's in... wait what is she wearing?" I heard one of the boys shout to the entire glade.
My face went bright red. I ran faster. "Minho! I swear I will feed you to whatever is out there in that maze!" I said this quietly as I neared so only he heard it. "Give me back my shucking clothes!"
And then he stopped, I didn't have time to slow down so instead I came crashing into his back knocking us both down to the ground. He held up my clothes and towel
"Here you go!" He threw them onto my back and stood up.
I grabbed my shorts and slipped them on but just before I managed to put my crop top on, he picked me up, and slung me over his shoulder and carried me over to Newt.

"Newt!"
"What now Minho?"
"NEWT TELL THIS SHANK TO PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted. He looked up from what he was doing and saw me slung over Minho's shoulder.

"Seriously Min? Put her down"

"Catch her!" And with that he took me off his shoulder and held me in the air, by now I was trying to kick him but as I was quite short he just held me higher. "Ready Newt?" And with that I heard the scraping of a chair on the wooden floor, and Newts arms around my waist and pulled me out of Minho's hands.
"I'm not gonna let you throw her Min, honestly."
