        "HEY BEAUTIFUL, WAKE UP"

        I groan. "Five more hours mom."
He sighs before throwing the blankets off my body. I groaned. "Stop that."

I heard my door closed, and I smiled peacefully, thinking he left. I was wrong, dead wrong. I heard a snicker, then I could feel ice cold water pour on my face. I immediately shot up. My hair was now wet, my bed, pillows, everything.

I screamed at the top of my lungs. "I'm going to kill you!" He laughs, and runs out of my room. I chase after him, not bothering to put on shoes. "Minho! Get the hell back here!"

I could hear Minho laugh, and I increased my speed. I ignore the pain in my knee. Most of the boys came out to see the commotion, and some of them wolf whistled, since I wasn't exactly wearing clothes, just a black sports bra and black booty shorts. I followed Minho into the forest and past the pond I used to skinny dip in, before we ended up with thirty boys.

Once I got to the map room, I kicked the door open. My eyes narrow at Minho, who was hiding behind Thomas.

I notice Thomas swallow thickly, as he tries to keep his eyes on my face. "What happened to you?"

"Minho decided to dump water on me while I was sleeping." I scowl at Minho.

"You weren't getting up!"

I went to attack Minho, but I came to a realization that Thomas was in the room. "Umm, why is Thomas in here? Not trying to sound rude, but he's not aloud in here."

"We are showing him the maze."

I nod my head at Minho, rubbing my hands together. "Ah. Okay well I'm explaining it today."

Minho rolls his eyes. "You always do, but whatever." I couldn't help but give a toothy smile.

I point to the model in front of us. "This is the maze, all of it."

"what do you mean all of it?" I bite my bottom lip. "I thought you were still mapping it?"

I sighed and looked down. "There's nothing left to map. I've run every inch of it myself. Every cycle. Every pattern. If there was a way out, we would have found it by now."

"Why haven't you told anyone this?" Thomas' chocolate brown eyes bore into my green eyes.

Newt steps in. "It was Sage's call."

Newt walks out afterword's,  leaving me with the two boys. I grab the towel Minho handed me, and I started patting down my damp hair. "People needed to believe we had a chance of getting out." I pause before continuing. "But maybe now, we have a real chance."

Minho points to the maze model on the table. "Take a look at this, about a year ago we started exploration extreme sections—."

I cut Minho off, to get on his nerves. "We found these numbers printed on the walls. Sections one through eight—."

Minho snickers, then cuts me off. "See, the way it works, is every night when the maze changes it opens up a new section—."

I cut Minho off again. "So today, section six was open. Tomorrow, it will be four, then eight, then three. The pattern always stays the same."

Thomas glances at me, then the maze, then back at me. "What's so special about seven."

I went to open my mouth to answer but Minho beats me too it. "I don't know. But last night when yo—."

I cut Minho off again. "When you killed that griever last night, it was pretty badass."

"Hey, you guys can flirt later." Minho clears his throat. "Like I was saying before, when you killed that Griever section seven was open."

"Oh, that too." I pout my lower lip, shrugging, and I raise my eyebrows before continuing; "I think that's where the Griever came from. So tomorrow Tommy, you're gonna join me, taking a closer look at it."

"Me too!" Minho gaps and I toss my towel at his face, which he barely caught. He opens his mouth, but gets cut off when the door opens, and two boys run in.

I clench my jaw at Clint and Jeff. "Hey! What are you guys doing? Your not allowed in here."

"Newt said it will be okay this one time." Clint interjects.

I shake my head and cross my arms over my chest. "Doesn't matter, why are you in here."

"The girl." Jeff pants.

"Is she awake?" Minho hands me my sweater. I don't even know how and when he got it, but I quickly zip it on.

"You could say that."

I share a quick glance with Minho before running out.
