Y/n's POV
I felt like this argument was going my way until Alby asked me to leave.

"What?!" I asked turning to face Alby.

"You heard me" Alby said not even looking in my direction.

I sat there with my mouth open in shock for a bit before getting up slowly and absentmindedly making my way to the kitchen. I stood behind the sink and was scrubbing my plate clean. I could feel myself staring off into space but it was nice, my hands in the warm water of the sink and the rhythm of my scrubbing. Soon I was lost in the world of my thoughts.

Minho's POV
I was mad. How could Alby even think about letting her go into the maze. She was my responsibility, I found her first I should have the final say in what happens to her. Her job as a med-jack works well enough.

Alby looked at me as I folded my arms over my chest.

"Minho what do you want for Y/n?" Alby asked relaxing instead of being intimidated.

"What?, Alby I want what she wants, to get her back to her group and then work together to get out of this place!" I said. How could he be questioning me.

"Really because here I was thinking that you wanted to keep her here with you! for as long as possible. Don't think the rest of us haven't noticed your fondness for her" Alby said leaning forward.

"So what does me liking her have to do with it, I like Newt but that doesn't mean I want to keep him here forever" I said annoyed.
Alby let my foolish comparison of liking Newt and Y/n the same way go and continued.

"The way you're blocking off her every chance of getting back to what has grown to be her family in the other glade really makes you out to be the bad guy. What are you afraid that if you let her run the maze with you she might just run away forever?!"

"No I'm afraid that she might die!" I shouted at him.

"Well you'll be with her in the maze so if she does die just know that it's on you, it will be your fault!" Alby said raising his voice.
"She starts in two days you have a day to train her and then she starts" Alby said getting up.

"Alby... I can't" I said getting up and following him into the kitchen.

"You will" He said dumping his plate into the sink and that was the end of our argument.

Y/n's POV
I was walking around the homestead trying to find the showers so far I found a storage room, the tool shed and the toilets. With no luck I went back to my room.

I was walking up the stairs when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and grabbed the persons hand pulling them forward. I pulled my leg up ready to kick whoever it was in the gut when I caught a glimpse of raggedy blonde hair.

"Gosh Newt!, you scared me" I yelled at him letting go of his wrist.

"Sorry" he said standing up straight and regaining his balance. "Alby told me to let you know that your a runner congratulations, don't go dying on us now. I want you to stay safe out there a'right".

"Seriously?!" I asked in excitement.

"Yep you get a day of training and then your out there".

"Wow wonder what Alby said to convince him" I said.

"Actually Minho's pretty pissed about it but don't take it personally he just cares about you is all" Newt said placing his hand back on my shoulder.

We walked for a bit together before we got to my room. That's when a question popped into my head.

"Newt?" I asked.

"Yea?" He said turning back to face me.

"Where are your showers like seriously I've looked everywhere?" I asked.

Newt laughed a little before meeting my eyes again. "We don't have any" he said and laughed a bit more.

"What?!" I screamed at him.
"How do you guys not have showers, why do you guys not have showers?", "hang on" I said and lent forward closer to Newt and took a weary sniff. He smelt faintly of soil and plants but not the disgusting smell you'd expect from never having a shower.
"But you don't smell bad how?" I was so confused.

"I don't smell bad because there's like two or three small lakes in the deadheads that most boys wash off in. I was there yesterday" he said as if I would know that.

"Most boys so not all of you?" I said disgusted.

"Oh yea some of these shanks haven't washed themselves for at least a month" he said smiling at my disapproval.

"That's disgusting" I said shaking my head.

He continued to laugh at me as I pulled my door open and stepped inside my room.

"Night Y/n" he said waving goodnight.

"Night Newt" I said closing the door and going to bed.
