𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚

𝙒𝙝𝙤'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩?

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙚 leans against a beam as he gazes towards the maze doors curiously, as the curly-haired boy beside him rambles.

"It's basically the same story for all of us." He hears the boy say—catching his attention. Chuck tightens the makeshift hammock behind him as the greenie keeps his golden eyes on the entrance.

"We wake up in the box, Alby gives us the tour...then here we are—Don't worry, you're already doing better than I did." Chuck says, placing his hands on his hips.

"I clunked my pants three times before they got me out of the pit." The boy rambles as he turns around to see the greenie no longer listening. Instead, the greenie walks towards the maze.

Chuck lets out an annoyed huff before running after the newbie.

"Dude, where are you going?" Chuck's voice calls as his heavy and rapid footsteps sound from behind the greenie.

"I just wanna see." The greenie grunts in agitation.

"You can look around all you want, but you better not go out there." Chuck warns as they continue walking to the center of the glade.

"Why not? What's through there?"

"I don't know. I just know what I'm told." Chuck stops the greenie before he gets any closer to the maze opening, reaching an arm out to stop the boy.  "And we're not supposed to leave."

Just as the boy falls into step beside the greenie— three figures emerge from the entrance, running past the two gladers as the greenie narrows his eyes at them. His eyebrows furrow when he sees the third person in the middle, who is hidden behind the two boys.

𝘈 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭?

As the three people run past, the greenie stares at the beauty running towards them, her bright green eyes connecting to his dark honey brown.

Minho turns back to the two boys, adverting the greenie's gaze away from the girl.  "Hey, Chuck. New greenie, huh?"

"How's it feel to be promoted?" The other boy beside Minho asks as they continue jogging.
