It's been a few days since I've talked to Minho. He has managed to avoid me through all of my efforts to talk to him. I don't know why I want to talk to him so bad but I just do. I want to talk about my dream and that him ignoring me hurts me because I know I have a connection to him.

Today I have to run the maze with him. It is my last job to try out. So far I've failed at everything except for med-jack.

I get up really early and get some breakfast and wait outside of the map room for Minho to show me what I will need. It was a few minutes until he showed.

"Hey Minho.' I said as he walked right past me. I followed him inside of the map room.

"So you need a pack, water, food, and weapons." He said throwing me all of the supplies.

"Oh and running shoes." He said rummaging through a pile of shoes. He finally found one that looked about my size and handed them to me. I got ready and we headed to the North door.

"Now when we go in there don't talk just listen. I'm going to tell you what to do and once you get it you will be doing it." He said. I nodded my head. Once the doors opened he ran inside and I followed quick on his heals. He showed me how to cut the vines and remember the turns. We ran for a few hours until we took a lunch break.

"Ok we can stop for lunch and then make our way back." He said sitting leaning against the wall. We didn't speak just ate.

After about 15 minutes we were both done eating.

"Come on we've got to go." He said. I got up and started running behind him. We were one corridor away from the Glade. My mind was racing with the fact that Minho won't even talk to me. I started thinking that it would be better off on everyone if they didn't have to worry about the only girl in the Glade. With that I quietly ducted into a corridor off the one leading to the Glade and ran down only to find it as a dead end. I wanted to get lost and die. I didn't have anything to live for.

Wow I am really depressed for only being here like a week. I heard Minho's footsteps fade as he got to the Glade's grass but then heard shouts. People were shouting my name and then footsteps coming back down the corridor. I worried that whoever it was would get stuck in here too because the doors would be closing soon. I curled up in a corner and held out my knife hoping to scare whoever it was away and back to the Glade. Who came surprised me.

"Lani! What the shuck do you think you are doing?" He yells at me. I was surprised that he actually cared about me being in here. I thought he hated me and that he wouldn't care if I died.

"Don't act like you care Minho." I said.

"I do care. Honestly. Let's just go back to the Glade before the doors close." He said. He held out his hand but I got up and ignored it. I ran back to the Glade and went straight to my room.

I swung the door open and slammed it shut. I collapsed on the bed and let a few tears fall down my face before I whisked them away. I can't handle Minho. He is so stubborn and hard headed and gets angry very easily. But he is also one of the most caring people I know when he isn't mad. I hear a knock on the door. I expect that it is Newt because he always comes to comfort me. He is my best friend.

"Yeah?" I say and then the door opens. Minho is standing there. I stand up.

"What Minho?" I ask venom laced in my voice.

"Can I talk to you?" He asks putting his hands in his pockets and his head down.

"Yeah Minho we need to talk but not here." I say walking right past him and out of the homestead. I go to the dead heads and stop in a clearing deep in the forest.

"Why haven't you talked to me?" I swing around to face Minho.

"Because I was mad and jealous and a lot of other stuff." He said.

"Mad about what and jealous of what?" I asked putting my hands on my hips with as much attitude as possible.

"I was mad that Gally was right about you being with the creators and don't worry about me being jealous." He said.

"I can't believe that you eves dropped! It was a dream, a memory, everything before this. I don't remember most of it and now I feel horrible." I said slowly sitting down at the base of a big tree.

"I didn't mean to but I saw Newt come in and I saw you two and his arm around you and the part about doing this to us." He said.

"I was going to explain but you never let me! You let me believe that you hated me and that made me hate myself even more!" I said now yelling/crying.

"Lani I'm sorry. Please just explain the dream." He said sitting next to me. How can he switch from being mad to nice in like five seconds? So I tell him the dream.

"...And it was then that I realised there was a reason I felt connected to you. We had been together before and I felt so bad for doing that to you. Nobody deserves that." I say tears streaming down my face.

"Oh Lani, I am so sorry I didn't let you explain. I understand now." Minho said as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I have one question." I said to Minho.

"Okay. Let's hear it." He said. I turned my head to look at him in the eyes. I had devilish grin on.

"Why were you jealous? Who were you jealous of?" I ask. He sighs and looks at me tightening his grip on my waist.

"I was jealous of Newt.." I was shocked. Jealous of Newt?

"Why?"

"Because he always got to comfort you and then when we weren't talking you two got really close and I thought you two were together." He said looking down. My mind was blown. I couldn't believe that he thought that me and Newt were together. I picked myself up a bit and swung my left leg over so that I was straddling him. I put my head down (because I was higher up on him) and crashed my lips into his. He was caught off guard but immediately kissed back. He put his hands on my hips and rubber up and down my back. It made shivers go through me. I smiled into the kiss and the broke apart. We were both breathing heavily.

"Now do you think Newt and I are together?" I asked smiling. He just stared at me looking dumbfounded.

"I-I" He stumbled. I never thought that the great smart ass Minho would ever be at a loss for words.

"Do you?" I ask leaning my forehead down onto his.

"No I don't." He says lifting his mouth to give me a peck.

"I also have one question," He says looking straight into my eyes with a mix of emotions flowing through his eyes. He looked hurt, concerned, mad, sad, loving, and a tid bit of happy.

"Why did you want to stay out in the Maze? You would have died. No one has ever survived a night in the maze." He says concern lacing his voice. I look down not wanting to meet his eyes. I was so disappointed in myself that I couldn't bear to look at him when I said it.

"I...well I...." I said. Minho put his hand under my chin forcing me to look at him his eyes pleading for an answer.

"I thought that you hated me. I also hated myself for ever being a part of them. Plus the fact that I'm stuck in a Maze full of guys that look at me like I'm a piece of meat and ready to devour me. I was scared and depressed, my heart had shattered so I wanted out. I wanted out of it all so I wanted to sleep with the Maze." I said. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Minho put his hand on my face and used his thumb to wipe it away. His warm hand brought chills over my body.

"Lani it will be okay, we just have to get out of here." He said as I drifted off into thought.
