Chapter 9: Jobs - Part I

Ashely's POV

I woke with a boy hovering over me early in the morning. I went to scream but his hand went over my mouth smothering my cries
"Shh, Ashely its me Minho," he hushed and I suddenly relaxed
"Don't scare me again," I whispered. He smiled and my heart skipped a beat, oh damn that smile.
"Let's see what you got Greenie," he whispered getting out of the slammer and helping me out too. The cool air attacked my body making me huge myself.
"Don't worry Greenie you'll warm up fast," Minho started to jog away, "hurry up,"
I jogged with him as we got to the kitchen we picked up an apple and toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch with some of the other runners.
"So what are we doing to today?" I asked as we sat down at the old-looking picnic table
"Your going to see the maze" he replied
"Really?" I questioned as my heart fluttered
"Yep" Minho grinned
"Hey Minho, Ashely" Thomas waved jogging over and sitting at our table
"Hey Thomas" Minho greeted
"Ready for your first day" Thomas smiled
"Yeah" I said excitedly

Minho and I were at the northern wall waiting for the doors to open to the mysterious Maze
"Their about to-" he stopes mid sentence as a scrapping noise engulfed the glade. I covered my ears in attempt to block the noise but epically fail. The doors finished there grand opening.
"Ready Greenie?" Minho said looking at me
"As I'll ever be" I replied staring at the maze. We started to run and I was mesmerised it's beauty. The ivy that covered walls made different beautiful patterns that swirled over each other again and again as the concrete walls and floor are cracked both making an eerie feel and it deserves it too, we all know what lurks in here.

Running non stop with Minho is tough, and grabbing vines and cutting them is harder. A few hour into the run and I am panting heavily. I no longer cared for what the maze looked like or even searching for clues. I only care about if I looked like I wasn't dying.
Minho glanced over his shoulder "You dead yet Greenie?" He asked
"Not yet," I lied, he murmured something under his that I would not make out
"Will have lunch here" he yelled, abruptly stopping in his tracks. I slumped to the ground and placed my back up against the wall huffing and puffing.
"Congratulations Greenie," he smiled, I looked up at him with no emotion on my face but tiredness and annoyance "You are one the first people to make it this far on their first day."
"Great," I manage to sigh out sarcastically. Minho laughed at my tiresome heap and sat beside me.
"Good work," he said looking at the wall across from us.

After I caught my breath and had lunch we got ready to head back to the Glade.
"Ok Greenie I am going to teach you another trick" he said grabbing out a pen and a little note book from his pocket, "You will be needing to take notes of the maze while you run." I rolled my eyes, I just want to get back to my hammock and sleep. Minho handed the pen and note book and stated to jog.
"Come on Greenie" he smiled, Fortunately for me I was good at this. Running to class, messily writing my homework down. This was going to be a cake walk. I started to run writing down what I saw,

-green patchy ivy
-dusty ground
-Minho gobsmacked that I can do this

I put the note book and pen in my shorts pocket while running. Turning my head back, Minho looked both proud and surprised.
"I'm a fast learner," I shout back, that seemed to snap him out of his trance and back to the reality we were in. He gave me a huge smile and run up to me.
"Faster than any of the others"

We made it back to the Glade at dinner time. I was absolutely exhausted and I wasn't going to show it not in front of all these boys.
"Ashley I going to the mapping room I will show it tomorrow" Minho said, I nodded and started walking to dinner.
"Ashley!" Brielle and Lexi shouted in unison holding a plate of food high up together near a tree. I walked over and and they gave me the plate of mash potatoes, carrots and a buttered piece of bread.
"We figured you would be tried, so we got you food for you'" Brielle smiled
"Thanks" I said scoping some mash into my mouth.
"So what happened," Lexi excitedly spoke,
"I all most died" I smiled, which lead to a few giggles from the girls. I spoke about what I saw and what happened and how Minho was surprised. I finished my dinner and the two girls helped me up and to my hammock.
" You need your rest," Brielle ordered
"Of course mother," I smiled wrapping the blanket around me and drifting of into the world of dreams.
