01| The Glade

As usual, she would wake up in her hut to the smell of food. That frypan was made every morning and it was always very good. She got ready for the day changing clothes because she had already showered the night before. She was interrupted by a knock. Must be Orion.

"Wakey Wakey, breakfast time" no shit. Another voice came from outside. "Your mamas here" It's Minho.

She unlocks the door, she is very lucky to have a lock. "You two are a bunch of shitheads. I'm coming jeez" She walks out and heads to the tables with them. "You ready to run today?"

She looks up from her food. "No, I'm ready to walk." he felt offended. Even though she always jokes like that. "Drop that sarcasm, we got a greenie coming soon." She was confused about why that even came up. "Okay? sorry mini hoe"

"Hey. watch that mouth of yours, young lady," Newt says. And I thought Minho was my mother. "Alright Alright." She finishes her food. "I'll get that for you ma'am," Orion says and takes her plate for her. She smiles and nods.

"I wonder why you weren't ever a runner ."

"I can't run."

"Oh shut up, You run better than me"

"Eh. Yeah you're right"

"Oh wow okay. Lower that ego" She smiles and walks to her hut again to get stuff before their run. As if it isn't the same every week. She looked at all four walls and went to look for the other runners.

"Sorry. Forgot my stuff this morning"

Minho was the only one to reply. "You're good. These twats aren't even ready yet." She laughed. "Okay, maybe don't use that word though" He shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah. Like what if I find it offensive minho" Alby says. She sat down on the grass waiting for them.

She yawns as a joke. "Man, it's been like hours."

"Girl, it's been 4 minutes"Ok Mr. Sassy pants.

"Girl? That insane Minho"

"What? you say it"

"Yeah, but it sounds weird if you say it."

"Ok sorry, boy."

ugh. She put her head back down. Minho taps Eloise with his foot. "Let's go buttercup" ew

"Gross, don't do that again" Please. She got up and started running with the others. Same old same old. Nothing new. They went separate that day, she had been with Ben. It was quiet. She didn't talk to him. Nor has she ever ran just with him, alone.

He had always seemed off anyway. He opened his mouth to say something. She expected him to say he found something. But no.

"So what's it like being the onl-" She stopped running and looked at him.

"Really," she murmured. "I mean I know you get asked a lot. But I wanna know"

"Uh." she didn't know what to say. But she knew exactly what it was like. She wanted to lie for some reason.

"So?" he said. She just kept running. "It's scary, nice, weird, and uh very lonely" He smiled thinking she wasn't gonna answer. He just thought she was cool.

"Must be" He replied. They didn't talk for the rest of the run. And everyone met up all together after a while. And headed out of the maze. She watched as Minho went to the map room. She wanted to follow him cause maybe he found something. But she didn't wanna be a bother.

She decided to make a list of the things she needed, that would come up in the box with the new greenie. She needed more shoes. She brought her list to Newt to show him.
