I wake up laying on the floor next to Newt. Lots of people must have passed out drunk and slept there. I see Vivian cleaning up the place. She's so sensible and smart.
"Hey Vivi," I say, " how are y-"
She cuts me off by saying, "-tell me every thing Between you and Newt."

"Oh well you know. We kissed."
"I know that silly, but as your best friend you must tell me everything about it from now on alright?" she grins.
"Okay okay." I grin back at her.
"So tell me, do you like him?" she says.
"Well who wouldn't. He's cute and funny and kind." I say smiling.

"And he is walking over here now so you should talk to him." she chuckles and walks away probably off to annoy Gally after he was a dick to her.

I try to make myself look busy as he walked over. Minho suddenly appeared infront of me blocking my view of Newt.

"Hey Rory, do you want to be a runner?" he asks smiling, "you'd run during the day with me, Thomas and a few others and we try and map our way out of this place."
"Yes sure," I say, not entirely focused on what he's saying.
"You can start now if you like" he says.
"Okay."
"let's go."
"Now?"
"Yeah, were you not listening?" he asks, "pfff yeah i was."
He looks behind and sees Newt walking away.
"Ah I see." he smirks, " well if you had plans today then don't let me stop you."
"Oh no it's fine."
"Great! Let's go. "

I follow him to the entrance of the maze and it looks a bit creepy inside,the walls are a bleak grey and are all covered in ivy and other plants. I hear strange noise coming from behind the corners but I've got to be brave. I see Newt looking my way, he looks a bit sad. Maybe it's because we didn't get a chance to talk yet after, well, last night.
Anyway I need to focus. This is not the time to be getting distracted. I smile at Newt and he smiles back waving at me before I take one last look at the glade and walk in.

"So just follow me and you'll be fine. " Minho says.
"Okay."
"let's go then."

We started running and I tried to memorise the turns. Right, left, right and left again. I lost count after a while but I'm sure Minho knew the way.

After 30 minutes or so of running I saw something. A dark creature-like shadow lurking near us.
"What the fuck was that?" I whisper, trying not to draw it's attention.
"That's a griever but the shouldn't be here during the day." he replies looking worried, "we should head back now. It might not safe anymore."
"A griever." I repeat.
"Yup now come on let's go."

It's getting darker. It must be around 5 or 6 in the evening.
We run back to the glade but the entrance is starting to close in.
"Come on we're nearly there Minho." I say, out of breath noticing he's slowed down.
"We might not make it," he says.
"Yes we will." I take his arm and sprint.

We just about made it. I collapse on the floor, exhausted. I close my eyes and try to sleep.
"Are you alright Rory?" I hear a voice say interrupting my attempt to sleep.
"Yeah I'm fine," I mumble, "just tired."
They laugh.
"Well I floor isn't the best place for a nap."
"Vivi?"I ask recognizing her laugh.
"Yeah it's me I need to tell you something now!! It's about Newt."

I feel someone lift me up in their arms and start to walk off.
"Hello?" I say not bothering to open my eyes.
"Don't worry love, you're alright." I hear a reassuring voice say. Newt. And I fall asleep in his arms.
