Chapter 3

OKAY SO I HAVE NO REAL PLAN FOR THIS STORY BUT ITS NOT GOING TOO BADLY, I HOPE?!?
I was awake but my eyes were closed.

I could feel there were others in the room.

Talking quietly to each other

"She's been out for days"

Days? Can't be. It feels like I just had an extra long lie in. Still at home in my nice warm bed.
Home? It feels so far away.i must have one but where.

My eyes were officially glued together. I physically could not open them.

I was awake and then asleep within a matter of seconds giving up on the idea of my eyes seeing the daylight.
Or, thinking about it, the nightlight as I had no clue what time it was.

Only that I'd been 'out for days' but then if your someone like me, you'd start thinking about it being as though you were 'out for nights'

I over think way too much.

Anyways. I'm actually asleep now.

-------------

After a little nap, I'm able to open my eyes.

But as they work their magic, a few boys rush over and one of them lifts up his head yawning.

Newt.

I just love that name. Makes him sound so...so....

Back to reality girl-Mentally slap myself.

"Your awake" haha no shit Sherlock. "You've been gone for ages" a guy with on point eyebrows says, standing next to Alby.

"We've been really worried." Alby started "but no worries. Your okay now right? Newt stayed here the whole time watching over you"

Aww that's so cute of him. I think I'm falling in love with a guy I hardly even know.

"Ummm...." I started. "what happened?"

Newt spoke up looking round at Alby. "you were just standing there and then you sorta died"

Great explanation dude.

"She sorta died? Very descriptive newt" another guy said "no, you just had a bit of a break down. But us medjacks have fixed you up and checked you over and you should be alright now."

Aww he seems nice.

"Im Clint by the way. And that's Jeff. The other medjack. And before you ask, it means were the kinda medics and doctors of this place."
He reached out a hand and I shook it, sitting up at the same time.

"What is this place?" I asked. I mean yeah it's kinda a stupid question but really. I gotta know.

"The glade" eyebrows said

What the fuck is a glade???

"It's where us gladers live and you too now greenie" Alby said .
Man I gotta start using this awesome language.

"So what's a greenie?" I was only returned with a load of looks that were like 'you stupid or somehitng?'

"You know what, we'll leave that to newt to sort out." Alby spoke louder this time. " okay with that newt" he said turning to him.

Newt replied with no words only a simple nod to the head.

The rest of the boys left the room and I swiftly spun of the bed and newt also stood up.

"Let's go" and with that I followed the boy I had just met.
Actually I'd sort of know him for days.
Or nights!?!
Over thinking.
I breath out trying to compose myself. But it must have been really loud as newt turned around.
"You okay there greenie?" He asked giving me a questioning look.

----------

It was dark outside.

"Your probably not going to remember anything about your previous life. But this is your new one. Make the most of it"

"I do know what my name is but it just won't come out" I said sounding all too innocent.

"Well let me know once you do and that's when we stop calling you greenie" newt said with a tint of laughter in his voice.

We walked around for a little bit and I was looking at him the same way he was with me.
I knew him and he knew me. We just didn't know where from or how and neither did we remember.

After newt had kindly explained almost everything about the maze, the gladers, the jobs and frypans cooking, he lay down on the grass with his arms and legs spread apart, and gestured for me to join him.

I did.

The stars we so beautiful.

We lay in silence just staring up at the night sky and I let my hair down as the bun was bound to be a complete birds nest after at least 3 days (or nights :) without washing.

"So beautiful" newt whispered.

The stars or....

"The stars I mean." He quickly added as he knew what I was thinking about the 'or'.

"I know I've been asleep and in and out of continuousness but I'm really tired." I said yawning, almost on cue.

"Right, well you came unexpectedly so we don't have a hammock for you yet so I guess you can have mine." Newt kindly offered.

"But then where would you sleep?" We both began to sit up.

"On the floor probably" he said in such a genuine voice.

Newt led me over to his room which was the last room on the left at the back of the homestead. While we were walking there, newt told me about how the rest of these rooms belonged to the keepers.

And how most of the other gladers slept outside.

"Here put this on" newt casually flung me a big scraggy top." Don't worry it's clean" he added due to my expression.

With that he left the room for met to get changed.

When newt came back in he took off his shirt and placed a spare pillow on the ground.

"Nighty night greenie" he used a mimicked tone to the word 'greenie' and I repaid him with "nighty night newtie"
I heard a faint laugh and could almost feel his smirk as we laid down in our own beds.
I mean hammock for me and the floor for newt.

ENJOY?!?
