hey guys, sorry that I'm posting late. My finals are coming and I'm really stressed. Anyway no need to hear my sob story enjoy<3

"Let's get started shall we" Alby said "Eloise you are being charged with breaking all the rules, we have decided the 3rd one will be excused since you were technically sick but you did hurt another glader and you left the glade, what are your excuses?"

"I don't have excuses, I didn't know that running out of the glade was a rule. If anything that's your fault, I barely stepped out of the box and I could've been killed."

I heard murmurs

"Did she really say that?"

"I mean she's not wrong but"

"Alby is going to be pissed"

"I barely stepped out of the box and took off, had you all been more careful that would have never happened. I also didn't know the rule at the time therefore I see no reason why I should suffer under it. Oh and may I remind you I was in the maze for a whole night, something no one has ever done before." I continued

"You have a valid point, you did not know the rule." he looked at Newt "that has been excused but you hurt another glader what do you have to say about that."

"First of all I wasn't aware of any of the rules until after I already beat the glader up and that klunkhead wouldn't have touched me if that slinthead hadn't said anything" shooting a glare at Gally

"Wait what did Gally say?" said Alby looking very confused

"Ask him" I muttered

"Gally?"

"Listen first of all it was a joke I even told the slinthead, his name is Jax by the way, to let her go"

"What did you say, Gally?" Alby looked irritated

"I said what everyone was thinking, that she was sent up here for reproduction." Gally looked scared

"YOU SAID WHAT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ISSUES THERE WAS GOING TO BE HAVING GOD KNOWS HOW MANY HORMONAL BOYS HERE WITH ONE GIRL AND YOU SAY THAT" Alby was mad "CONTAINING MYSELF IS HARD ENOUGH DON'T TELL ME I HAVE TO CONTAIN 40 MORE BOYS TOO-."

He has to contain himself, gross.

I looked over at Newt, he was already staring at me. He immediately looked down, turning a deep red color.

"YOU WILL SPEND A WEEK IN THE PIT WITH NO FOOD" Alby yelled


"No" I said simply

"Excuse me" Alby said almost surprised

"As much as I hate Gally, and I HATE Gally, he might be right, there might be a chance that that's why they sent me plus it wasn't him who grabbed my ass and tried to pick me up. That was Jax, he should be punished, not Gally." I finished

"Ok that seems fair, anyone has anything to argue?" Alby asked

There was only silence.

"I have one request" I said

"What would that be" Alby looked tired

"I think I should have a place on the counsel, ir keeper court, whatever you call it."

There was loud angry murmurs

"Why would she get that"


"She's been here a couple days and is already demanding stuff"

"Who does she think she is?"

"Let me explain" I said "I am a girl, I see things differently than you. I was able to survive through the night because I think differently, I can read every single one of you easily." I said

"Oh yeah, who am I or what is my job" some guy said

I looked over, he had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. He had acne too.

"If I can guess your job I get to be on court?" I asked

"Sure" Alby said laughing

I walked over to him, I started walking in circles around him.

"You aren't muscular so you can't be a Runner, Builder, or a Bricknick. You don't have any type of dirt under your nails so you're not a track-hoe. You don't smell like food so you're not a cook. I've seen you eat the meat without hesitation, most slicers hesitate because no matter how long you have been doing it you can't get the animal out of your mind therefore you're not a slicer. By the looks of it you have free time, you have a cut on your forearm that hasn't been tended too so you can't be a med-jack. You don't have blood on you at all so you're not a blood houser. You're not sulky and sad so unless you have no soul you're not a bagger. That leaves slopper, but you hold yourself a little higher than most sloppers which tells me you have a slightly stronger position, but not too high since you're not confident. So your hayden, keeper of the sloppers." I finished

The room went dead silent again.


"H-how did you know my name" he asked astounded

"You sewed it very poorly on your shirt" I said pointing to his shirt

"Well Mrs Eloise, welcome you are now part of the keeper court" Newt said smiling

"Now I am tired so if you wouldn't mind I'd like to sleep, as I've spent the last few nights in here would someone tell me where I am sleeping?"

"I will," Newt said
