*Two months later*

Skylar was sitting down in the glade, writing in her journal.
Minho liked to make fun of her and say it was a diary; But it was her journal, she just wrote her thoughts inside the book.

It was the only thing that was her own. The only thing that was personal, it was the only thing that actually meant something to her.

She thought for a moment what to write before nodding and writing.

'I've been here for days upon days now, nobody has found a way out yet. I believe there's a way out, and the runners just haven't found it yet.'

The book was suddenly torn out of her hands.
She looked up to see Minho in front of her with a smirk on his face, she stared at him for a few moments, unsure of what he was doing.

He then took off running with the book in his hands.
Skylar quickly got up and chased him "MINHO! STOP!"
She yelled even though she knew he wasn't going to listen to her.

Skylar started running faster than she knew she could, she tackled Minho and pinned him down, grabbing her book "thank you" she smiled cheekily.

Minho groaned "you're no fun"
"I am" Skylar replied as she stood up.

Minho stood up and brushed his grassy hands off on his pants
"No you're not, literally every single time I want to do something with you, you're always with Newt. Like seriously when are you two getting married?" He shook his head.
Skylar rolled her eyes at his comment "Well you know,
Maybe you should just ask me to do something with you, instead of stealing my journal!" She exclaimed.
Minho raised his eyebrow  "Well maybe if you actually talked to other people besides Newt, I could actually hangout with you for once" he said, annoyed.
"Well maybe I don't want to hangout with you!" Skylar fought
"You know you want to!" Minho fought back
"Shut up" Skylar mumbled.

Suddenly an alarm went off.
"Newbie alarm.." Minho huffed, he grabbed Skylar's wrist and pulled her along with him.
Skylar rolled her eyes in annoyance but followed.
Of all times, there had to be another person coming up.

Oh, last month they sent up Chuck. He was a younger boy.
Most of them thought he was annoying, but she thought he was very cute and adorable.

Everyone crowded around the crate,
Newt found his way over to Skylar and stood next to her.
"Here we go again" Newt said quietly to her.
She nodded and stepped forward as the box came to a sudden stop.
Newt grabbed her hand and stepped in front of her.
She rolled her eyes but didn't argue.

From what she could tell, The boy had dark hair and brown eyes.
His skin was tanner than her own, but not really tan..
She was just pale.

He stared at them all, fear was clear in his eyes, he was trembling.
She knew what he was feeling. She shuddered at the memory of when she first came up to the glade.

Gally jumped down into the box "Day one Greenie, Rise and shine. He yanked the boy up. "Follow me

The boy looked alarmed, he quickly climbed up out of the box and took off running.

"We got ourselves a runner!" Frypan quipped loudly.

The boy ran quite weird, but he ran faster than she had ever seen anyone run. Maybe faster than herself.

Skylar winced as the boy tripped and face-planted the ground.

Newt ran after the boy, She was dragged along due to him still holding her hand.
She let go of his hand and ran along side him towards the boy who was on the ground.

The boy looked around, his eyes widened.
"Where am I...? What is this place...?"
He paused "Who am I?!" The boy asked, he was shaking with fear.

"Hey Greenie, calm it down" Newt said "if you just follow me I can explain."
The boy nodded "please."

Skylar felt bad for the boy,
"Hey..I just got here not too long ago, I know what you're feeling.." she said calmly "But you don't have to be scared.

"What do you mean I don't have to be scared?" He practically hissed
"I already know you all think there's no escaping this place, that's why you're all still here" he shook his head.

"Well aren't you observant" Minho rolled his eyes.

"I-Well..we just haven't found one yet.. Now please, Newt will explain." Skylar said

-

They had already given the boy a tour, Newt had explained to him the rules.

Do your part. Never hurt a Glader. Don't go outside the walls.

If there's one thing she learned about this new boy,
It was that he was curious. He wouldn't stop with the questions.

When the boy wasn't staring at Skylar, He had been staring at the maze, but she didn't blame him. It was kind of a weird thing to see in that grassy space.
~~~~~~~~~~
The boy was fighting Gally.
And Gally was beating him up pretty badly.

That scared Skylar because she herself beat up Gally.
So either Gally got stronger, She was really strong, or this boy was a weakling.

The boy knocked Gally to the ground. And Gally did not like that.
Skylar bit her lip out of stress as she watched this happen.
Gally charged toward the boy and successfully knocked him down.
Gally grinned "I won."

The boy just laid there until he started to get up "Thomas.." He said
"Hey! Thomas!" He said louder.

Skylar raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I remember my name! My name is Thomas!" He shouted.

Everyone immediately started cheering.

Skylar made eye contact with Newt from across the circle of people, She grinned at him and he returned the gesture.

Everyone moved in and was suddenly crowding the boy Thomas.
"Welcome to the glade Thomas" Minho patted Thomas' arm.
