When I woke up, I saw that all the other gladers had already left before me.
Wow. even Chuck didn't bother to wake me up.
I got up and saw Newt leaning at the doorway, holding something.

"Hey princess, I was just about to wake you up."
"You get enough beauty rest?" he chuckled.
I rolled my eyes at him, annoyed.
"hmm, not a morning person huh? well, I wanted to hand you this, it came up with you but I hadn't had a chance to give it to you." he handed me a box.

There were clothes in my size, including a t-shirt, tank top, long-sleeve shirt, sweatpants, shorts, underwear, sanitary pads, a towel, and socks.

"You must be their favorite if they provided you with stuff already." he smiled.

"You could use a shower, you stink," Newt laughed.
"C'mon, I'll keep watch outside in case anything tries anything."

"Thanks, newtie." I just followed him, too tired to talk.

I turned on the shower and shrieked as the icy water hit my skin. Newt was laughing outside, I just kept quiet in embarrassment.

After my shower, I reached into the box and picked out the thin long-sleeved shirt and shorts. It was going to be a hot day today. I slipped my feet into my over-the-ankle boots, which I came in with. I opened the door, and Chuck was there.

"Hi Mei!" he smiled, "I saw Newt over here, so I assumed he was waiting for you. Let's eat breakfast together!"

"Okay," I quickly dried my hair and followed the two into the canteen.

I saw Thomas sitting alone and felt bad for taking two of his only friends to stand guard while I was in the bathroom.

"Hey Tommy." After I got my food I sat beside him.
Chuck and Newt were there too.

"Oh hey mei, I wanted to ask you something"
"Ask away."
"What job do you have in the glade?" he chewed.

"Actually little Mei here hasn't got a job yet, She was sent into the slammer for a week on her second day. " Newt laughed while explaining

"What? What for?" Thomas's eyes looked at me in shock.

"She ran-" I shoved some food into Chuck's mouth before he could say anymore.
I decided to tell him through our secret communication.

you know this story already, I told you that night.

The one where I saved you from a griever?

Yeah.

"Uhmm why are you guys so quiet???"" Chuck said as he waved a hand in front of Thomas and me.

"Just eating Chuck," I smiled.

"oookkayy"

After breakfast, Newt, Thomas, and I were in the garden. Newt looked slightly annoyed as Thomas bombarded him with rapid-fire questions.
