CHAPTER 55

Dinner time was over.

I don't want to go back in that room with all these girls.

Yes, I am happy that we escaped but I wish I could wander around the Glade again. I wish I could skip work in the Med-hut and sit on the log with Chuck as Thomas and Newt are working-

Oh, wait.

They are gone.

Clint, Jeff and Chuck are gone.

The visits in the Gardens are gone.

I can't do anything about it.

Here we are trapped. We can't go outside due to the circumstances. Also, we have to be escorted from place to place-as I am being now.

A man is escorting me to my room with his hand on my back. But I think something is different.

This doesn't seem like the same route I took twice before. I believe he is taking somewhere different.

Soon enough he stopped in front of a door.

"In here miss". He nodded.

"Uh actually I'm wondering-am I taken to another room?" I asked biting the inside of my cheek.

"Oh no. Mister Jason wanted to speak with you. So please knock on the door". He nodded again. His face was blank. No expression, no smile, and no sympathy in his eyes. Empty.

I didn't waste time. Rat man wanted to speak with me, and I would speak with him. For whatever reason.

I knocked on the door once, twice-

The third time the door opened.

"Ah, Stella here you are. I've been waiting for you". He smiled at me. "Come in. Don't stand there. Make yourself comfortable". He motioned for me to follow him inside as he sat down on a chair.

I took one step in and I was already inspecting the room.

There was a table and two chairs across from each other.

He already has sat in a chair and waiting for me to sit down.

Eventually, I did. I tried to seem confident and strong but I always forget I'm just sixteen.

"So tell me, how was it where you came from?" He asked leaning over.

"It was okay I suppose. The others didn't make me uncomfortable so I can say it was alright". I nodded.

"But wouldn't you like to know who brought you there? I mean-you were the only girl wouldn't you want to hurt the people who sent you in there?" He asked still keeping the same smile on his face.

Inhale, exhale, breathe.

"No. I wouldn't want to hurt them". A lie.

Of course, I wouldn't tell them. How can I trust people I just met? That's what life in the Glade taught me. Do not trust anyone.

Everybody lies.

"You wouldn't?" He arched an eyebrow.

"No. I believe everything that happened in there was happening for a reason". My expression was blank. I tried to keep my breaths steady. And my heart beats too. I can't let him have the advantage of being able to read my expression.

"That sounds rational". He nodded. "So you would like to meet them someday?"

I froze.

Would I like to meet them-what? I believe this is not good. What if this is a trick question? What if I say yes they would kill me? Or kick me outside? Even though I would like to meet them and find answers-I had to hide it.
