"Greenie? Greenie wake up c'mon" Newt said, "I'm awake, I'm awake.." I said opening my eyes. "It's getting late, if you sleep any longer you won't sleep tonight. I have to tell you some more things about here." he walked over towards a rock and sat down so I followed him and sat beside him. "So, outside of these stone walls.. is a maze. It's bloody horrible out there honestly." He seemed like he was talking from experience, I was curious but I let him continue, "There's these shuckin' things called Grievers, of course no ones ever seen one, and lived to tell the tale.. but they're out there. Look over there by the fire, that's Minho. He is the only runner here, every day he goes out and runs the maze. It's a whole load of klunk if you ask me, but he insists." 'Klunk? Shucking? What the hell is this guy talking about? "Anyway, obviously, you're the only girl here so everyones going a bit crazy, the past few months all they've been around is boys now you pop up. Bloody insane." I laughed a bit, I liked this one. "Anyway, c'mon I'm gonna introduce you to everyone." "Newt no- sto-" I said as he pulled me up, "No, Greenie c'mon." He laughed, I rolled my eyes and followed him.

We walked over to the guy he called Minho, he was a muscular darker toned boy with jet black hair, "Minho, meet Greenie." He stood up and smiled, "Good to meet you Greenbean, I'm Minho." "Good to meet you too." I smiled at him, then Newt tugged me over to someone else sitting about five metres away, "Ben, meet Greenie." He shook my hand still sitting down and used me as support to stand up, and wasn't expecting it I almost fell into Newt which was really embarrasing, "Woah- sorry Newt.." He laughed, "Don't worry about it." Yet again, he pulled me over to Alby, "You've already met.." I smiled at Alby before he pulled me over to one more person. Eyebrows.

"Gally, be nice." Newt said in a cold tone. "Greenie." Gally said with an annoyed look on his face, "How's your cheek?" Newt said laughing as Gally shot him an angry look, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But honestly you got your ass kicked by a girl, suck it up." This made me laugh, "Something funny Greenie?" Gally spat, "Yeah." He rolled his eyes and walked away. I looked at Newt and we both started laughing, I knew I liked this guy. Newt grabbed my arm again and pulled me over to a large log, we sat down against it and Newt had this weird drink in his hand, "Here, try this." I looked at the jar suspiciously, "What is it?" "Well, it's Gally's recipe, nobody really knows what's in it." I laughed, "Wouldn't be suprised if it's poisoned then." This made Newt laugh as he handed me the jar. I looked at him one last time before I took a sip, it burned the back of my throat and it tasted horrible. I spat the whole thing out and Newt sniggered and burst out laughing, "Oh my god what the hell is that?" I choked, as I continued coughing, "Like I said, we don't know."

It was getting late and everyone was heading to bed, considering I had slept for about 17 hours of the day, I was wide awake. I lay in my hammock awkwardly trying to fall asleep, then something popped into my head. One word, Y/N. Y/n! That must be my name, it felt weird as it rolled off my tongue, almost as if it didn't fit me. I couldn't sleep for dear life so I quietly snuck out to a small hill in the corner of the Glade with no trees, perfect for stargazing. Funny how I could also remember correlations and not my own name up until now. I lay there silently until I heard a twig snap, I shot up to see who or what it was. "It's just me." Newt said quietly, "Good god you scared me Newt, what are you doing up?" "I could ask you exactly the same thing Greenie." He laughed, "You don't have to call me Greenie anymore, it's Y/n." "Hm Y/n, that's a nice name. But I'm still calling you Greenie." I sighed and lay down, "My Greenie.." He whispered, so I couldn't hear him. He lay down beside me, and I just lay there. "What ya doin' then out here all by yourself?" "Just thinking. Earlier when I was asleep, I had these dreams. This woman saying the same thing over and over." "Well, what did she say then Y/n?" I looked at the sky and said, "Wicked is good."
