Thomas whipped his head up, impossibly fast. The effect was so comical that I almost giggled, if it hadn't been for the anxious look on his face.
Dylan stared at him. "What's the matter?" He asked anxiously. Thomas shook his head. "Nothing."
I continued with what I was doing - editing the latest Scorch Trials filming on my laptop. This was something I was allowed to do now.
We were sitting by the pool - yes, the pool - next to the trailers in Baton Rouge. The filming location was only about half an hour away. We were about halfway through filming the Scorch Trials.
Will leaned over my shoulder to look at what I was doing.
"Why are you cutting my face outta that scene?!" He asked, indignant.
"We don't need it there. This scene is short and fast. We need as little in it as possible."
I glanced over at Thomas. His face was white, and he was staring into the distance, brow furrowed.
I handed the laptop absently to Will, who began editing his face back into the pictures, which was hardly my worry.
I sat down next to Thomas, and touched his arm, gently. He jumped.
"Are you okay, babe?" I asked him softly. He nodded absently, and the jumped up and yelled, "LOOK!"
Dylan, Ki and Will had risen to their feet. Kaya came running out of her trailer at Thomas's yell, her hair in curlers and her makeup half-done. "What is it?" She asked, then gasped.
It was my turn to look.
In the distance, barely recognisable, was a tiny moving shape. A person. Running towards us.
As the person drew closer, Ki almost laughed. A half-laugh. He suddenly reminded me of Minho.
The person was obviously female, and was wearing a bright yellow pair of wellington boots, and equally bright washing-up gloves.
"What the hell?" I asked, confused.
I looked over to see Dylan laughing. "Um, a fan?" He asked.
"I don't think so. It's who I heard earlier. She was yelling something weird - "Page 255", over and over again."
I laughed. Really hard. The cast looked at me, probably weirded out. Once I had calmed down, I explained it to them.
"Page 255 is the page Newt dies on right? You know - please, Tommy, please - and all that. When I was in school, that page was an effing big deal. My friends would come in, crying over it. It was actually kind of funny. But now I recognise the girl. My old friend, Emily. Total fangirl, properly obsessed with The Maze Runner. She must have found out where we were filming, and paid us a visit, I guess."
I tried not to laugh again.
Emily finally arrived, and hugged me enthusiastically. I laughed at her entrance.
Then she stepped back and looked up at the cast, agape. I say looked UP - Will, Dylan and Kaya are pretty tall.
"It's really them," she murmured. I nodded.
"This is fucking strange!" Said Ki.
"Ki! Don't swear!" I said, shocked. Okay, I wasn't that shocked.
"What happens now?!" Thomas asked. I looked over and he was grinning. He gave Emily a one-armed up, and she blushed scarlet.
