Thomas:
I had my bed set up next to Chuck's. "So, how much do you remember?" I asked Chuck, trying to start up conversation. "Eh, not much. I remember my name, but that's it" he told me looking sad. "Is there any way to get memories back? Like a pill or something?" I asked with a hopeful tone. "If there was, I think we all would have used it to get our memories back by now" said Chuck in a sarcastic tone. "Yeah, guess so" I said, defeated. "Hey Greenie!" Called Minho, walking up to us. "Hey Minho" Chuck and I said in unison. "So, first day Greenie, how's your head?" Asked Minho with a smirk, referring to me tripping on a rock earlier.

"Fine, although I could have lived without the tripping and embarrassing myself in front of the whole Glade" I said, frustration in my voice. "Hey, don't feel embarrassed. Some people klunked their pants" said Minho in a matter-of-fact tone. "Klunked? More Glader slang? What does klunk mean? Who came up with this stuff anyways?" I asked. "Wow, you Greenies sure are doing a great job at being annoying" muttered Minho under his breath. "Klunk means poop. Alby came up with the slang, not wanting to swear and all, but we can swear if we want. Other Glader terms are Greenie, slinthead, shank, shuck, klunk, and that's pretty much it" Minho confirmed (sorry if I missed any words. It's late and I'm tired).

"Well Shank, that's all for today. I'm Bushed. You should be too. Night Greenie, Chuck" Minho nodded to us, and walked away. I snuggled into bed. Even though Chuck was beside me, I still felt lonely. Like I needed someone or something to get me through the night. What, I didn't have a clue.

Thomas's dream:
I wasn't in the Maze anymore. Instead, I was at a big facility. I was in a beautiful garden, when I heard a beautiful voice. "Hey, do you need any help?" Asked the lovely voice. I turned and saw a gorgeous girl. She had long, straight, golden blonde gorgeous hair. Her eyes were an astonishing baby blue, and she wore black leggings with some black combat boots. She also wore a black leather jacket with a plain black shirt. "Uh, no, I don't need any help. I'm just exploring, Chancellor Paige said I could" I told the beautiful girl. "Cool" she said walking up to me. "Mind if I hang out with you?" She asked. I didn't care if she was a serial killer, I would still hang out with her in a heartbeat.

"Of course not" I said, with a dreamy tone. She giggled, and I knew, I was in love. I fell in love with a girl I just met not even a minute ago. "Cool" said the girl, a welcoming smile on her flawless face. "I'm Kate" she introduced. "Thomas" I said giving what I hope wasn't a weird smile that revealed my feelings.

More images flew by of me and the girl. I was unsure if they were memories, but they felt familiar and real. I could tell "Kate" and I were best friends, but I was in love with her, in the dream and not. From what I saw, she was loyal, selfless, caring, generous, smart, sarcastic, honest, and trustworthy.

Back to reality-Thomas:
I awoke with a start. An image of Kate was plastered to my mind. I had to find her, make sure she's safe. I don't remember this girl, but I loved her. I hated the Creators for taking her from me, and me from her. I would make them suffer, and they will wish they never even thought of separating us and taking this wonderful girl from my memory.

I wondered if I should tell anyone about my "dream". If I had anymore, whoever I become closer to I will tell. I ate breakfast in silence, only speaking when spoken to. I thought of the girl. Was she worried about me? Was she hurt? Did she replace me? What if they sent her here? Great, more questions. I hope they have headache medicine here because I'm going to need it. And lots of it.

I went on the tour. I learned that they have been searching for a way out for 3 years and the Maze is the only way out. They get supplies once a week in the Box, and once a month, a new person, or as they call them, Greenies. They never got a girl, but they have their own floor with ten rooms, just for girls, but their starting to loose hope in getting a girl. The jobs here are Runners, Builders, Sloppers, Med-jacks, Bricknicks, Track-hoes, Farmers, Slicers, and Cooks. They have the Homestead, which is where we sleep, the kitchen, where we eat, the blood house, where they kill the animals for meat, and more buildings that I can't remember. There is a small but still big forest, that ends when it reaches a wall.
