Your PoV

The box lurched to the left. I tightened my grip. Closing my eyes, I prayed to get out of this alive...

Then I saw it. I crack of light, coming from above. Quickly, I scrambled up towards it. After what seemed like hours but was probably only ten minutes, the 'lift' churned to a stop. I pushed the steel around the area of light. It didn't budge. I growled in frustration.

Suddenly the steel was lifted up. Light poured in. I blinked in surprise. A boy jumped down. I shrunk back.

"It's a... Girl?" The boy stated in a British accent. He had short blonde hair and soft brown eyes. He was a little scrawny and thin. "Who are you?" I cautiously asked. "Erm... Well, the names Newt. Welcome to the glade." He replied.

For some reason, I felt like I could trust this boy...

I nodded and he offered a hand. I took it and jumped out. To my surprise, outside the lift that I'd come up in was a crowd of at least 30 boys. One of them stepped forward. "My names Alby. This," he gestured to an Asian boy who was quite muscular and had black hair. "Is Minho. This," He pointed at a boy who was thin and had short, brown hair. "Is Thomas. You'll get to know the rest later." He finished. Both of the boys nodded at me. I shyly nodded back.

The one named Minho spoke first. "Hey there Greenie. This may all seem strange; don't worry. We all had to do this too. And none of us remember anything but our names, you'll remember that soon-" I cut him off. "Y/n." I said quickly. "Huh?" Minho looked at me. I nodded. "My names Y/n"

The boy named Thomas spoke next. "Hmm... So you know your name already? That's good... In fact, Alby, me and Minho will give her the tour tomorrow, is that alright?" Alby simply nodded at him.

All the boys were staring at me. I shifted uncomfortably. Then Newt spoke. "Hey, what are you shanks staring at? Get back to you bloody jobs and leave the girl alone." I Smiled gratefully at him. He's nice. He returned it. Slowly, the boys drifted away in different directions. I started to feel more comfortable.

Soon the only people left in the area were Me and Newt. "Umm... Newt?" I asked. "Yeah?" He casually replied, his soft eyes turning to look at me. "Where are we? And what's a shank?"

I felt stupid asking this, but I was really curious. Newt laughed. "This place? We call it the glade. We all came up in that box over there, but I'm afraid to say there's no other girls." He looked at me apologetically before continuing. "None of us have any idea of what is outside this place or who we are other than our first names. So don't worry; your not the only one with memory loss. The walls surrounding the glade is the maze. We're bam smack in the middle of it. We've been trying to find an exit for 2 years. Still no success. Well, that's all you need to know about this place for now, and a shank is just kinda what we call each other, in a way. You'll get used to glade talk." He finished.

I slowly took it all in. "Thanks for explaining, Newt. But one last thing... Why'd Minho call me 'Greenie'?" I asked him. He chuckled. "It's just what we call the newest gladers. See, Thomas was the one before you. Oh! I almost forgot. One last thing about the maze; The entrance and exit doors shut at night. So don't be worried when you hear them shut."

I nodded, yet again. Newt grabbed my hand and it made me feel happy... Why? We started walking while he begun to talk again. "You can sleep in ether the homestead, which is like a huge house, or outside. Most of us sleep under the moon." I walked behind him and paused for a second before responding. "Could i sleep outside, please?" He nodded. "Yeah! Of course! Oh, and there's no need to be formal here. After all, most of these boys are really rude anyway." He grinned at me. I smiled back.

Newt led me to an open field. There I curled up and fell softly asleep after saying goodnight to Newt.

Newt's PoV
She fell asleep straight away. I smiled at her sleeping form. She's so bloody cut- wait Newt. You barely know the girl. Just bloody wait and see what happens.
