(Y/Ns perspective)

I'm sitting around in the med-jack talking with Clint and Jeff, my best friends. Our days usually turn out like this, sitting waiting for another slicer to patch up or anything else of the sort.

"Do you think we're ever going to get out of here?" jeffs says after we sit in awkward silence. We always end up having this type of conversation, which makes sense considering there not much else to talk about. Plus, me being a girl, they don't want to say anything too weird.

"I hope so, I hate being stuck in here with all these boys. If we got out there maybe I could finally find a girl-friend," I say looking down at my finger, picking out the dirt from underneath them. I look up and clint and jeff and they're looking at me like I just killed all the Gladers.

"Okay we're not that bad," says clint, looking at me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I mean he's not wrong it could be so much worse. But I still wish that every time that box comes up, it's another girl. I've only been here for 8 months, and those 8 different times the box came up and it was just another boy, I felt so disappointed. I don't even know why I'm the only girl, I'm not sure I'll ever know.

"Try being the only girl in this whole place clint, being stuck with a bunch a smelly boys. I mean you too aren't that bad, but some of these boys I can't stand," I look back down at my hands. We continue chatting until we hear yelling from outside. It sounds like Minho and Alby. I look at the boys in front of me with a concerned look on my face, and we all stand up and jog to the door to see what's going on.

In the distance I see Minho and Alby holding someone. Once they got a little closer, I could tell that someone was Newt. I hadn't really gotten time to get to know newt that much considering he was always out in the maze running and I was in the med-jack hut all day. Our relationship consisted of small smiles while walking past each other in the mornings or nights, or small telling me what happened when another runner got hurt.

Panic was quickly flooding my body and I ran back inside and prepared the bed while Jeff and Clint went out to help getting Newt inside. The four boys bring Newt inside and carefully lay him on the table in fear of hurting him even more.

I look down at Newts leg and roll his pants up to get a good look of his ankle. I see its dislocated and broken in some areas as well. I get a sense of what could have happened but still ask Minho anyway.

"What the hell happened, Minho?" I say slightly panicking.

"I don't know, he hasn't told me anything. I was just running in the maze when I heard and loud scream. I ran for a minute or so until I found Newt lying on the ground and started taking him back here," I look up at Minho and I see the sadness on his face from seeing his friend in this much pain.

Clint is holding down Newt making sure he doesn't move too much while and me and Jeff look at his ankle. Jeff gently presses down on Newts ankle, and he lets out a loud yelp.

"Its shattered, the bone is completely shattered," Jeff says solemnly. "It's dislocated though we need to realign it before we do anything else, alright?

"Got it," I rush over to the bandages and grab and few then come back and place them down on a makeshift table next to me.

"You too hold him down" I nod my head towards Alby and Minho signally them to help Clint. I direct my focus back to Newt.

"Newt, can you open your eyes for me," He opens his eyes straight away. "Alright focus on me okay. We're going to realign your foot. It's going to hurt a lot. We'll go on three, okay?" He nods.
