It's Just A Challenge

The sun went down past the walls and everyone settled in for a good night's rest. Tomorrow was the day you had to meet Thomas at the box after the maze doors closed. You were kind of excited but mostly nervous.

What if I lose? What will everyone think of me? What are they gonna do if I win? Your thoughts exploded in your mind as you failed in attempt to sleep.

Loud snoring sounds filled your ears as you realized a few hours passed. Finally, you drifted off into a sweet dream that seemed like a memory.

*Dream*

A cute boy chuckled as you two sat on the edge of a cliff and watched the sunset.

"You cute little bean," he said and looked at you. You felt a blush appear on your cheeks as your focus was drawn to the sky.

"Don't pay attention to me!" You called. "The sun is setting, you're gonna miss it!"

The guy chuckled even more when you began playfully slapping his shoulder, never taking your eyes off the disappearing sun. "Why stare at that, when there's something so much more beautiful right next to me?"

The words made you stop. You held your breath hoping he was talking about you, being serious about it to. Slowly, you turned your gaze toward him. He smiled cheekily, causing you to grin at the perfect sight.

Then, out of nowhere, he placed his hand on your chin, pulling your face closer to his. "Y/n, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

You had to let the words process through your head before nodding quickly. After your response, the boy closed the gap between your lips. Your eyes widened in shock as you waited for your head to keep up with reality. But this was better than reality. The kiss was soft and gentle, yet so passionate and meaningful. You felt the boy place one hand on your waist while the other was stroking your hair.

After a while, he pulled away, and smiled at you, not waiting long to dive into a hug.

He began shaking your shoulders and your eyes fluttered open to see Newt above you. Your only reaction was to slightly jump and squeal.

"It's alright, love. Alby just wanted me to help you out choosing a job today." He calmed you down by gently stroking your arm.

"Oh, sorry..." You said while getting out of your hammock. Everyone was awake, gone to their own jobs. What's Thomas's job again? Runner, was it? Yeah, Runner. Not knowing what a runner was, you looked around for the tall dark haired boy as Newt took you across the Glade, where the Track-hoes mainly work. "Hey, Newt?"

He turned around to face you. "Yes, love?"

Your cheeks shaded a dark red as he said that. Maybe getting used to him calling you 'love' would be a good idea. "Do you know what time it is?"

He chuckled. "Sweetheart, we don't have clocks. You'll know it's noon when the sun is directly above us."

An even darker flush colored your cheeks once you realized he knew you were looking forward to the race. You kinda had this feeling that a race on your second day in the Glade was stupid. But how would everyone see me if I won? Amazing? Or way over myself. What if I lost? Slow? Stupid? A try-hard?

A hand waved right in front of your face. "Earth to y/n!" Newt called loudly in hear ear.

You didn't realize you dazed out. Shaking your head bringing you back to reality, he asked if you were okay. With that adorable accent... "Oh, yeah. I'm fine, sorry. I was just... Thinking."


Alright. Then," he handed you a tool you weren't familiar with. "Today, you'll start as a Track-hoe. If it isn't your fit, we'll find another job over the next few days."

"Okay, thank you." You smiled at him as he began to lead you on with what to do.

A few hours passed and you were bored. So bored. You don't remember the last time you had this feeling, but you definitely did not like it. "Is Thomas back?" You questioned as if you've known him your whole life. "Er- I-I mean, are the... Runners back?"

"Yep, they got back a few minutes ago. You really are excited, huh, y/n?" He said and looked at you with those sparkling eyes.

"Well, I don't want to have to stay in the Glade all day and night just because I'm a female. The only way I'll make my point to you is by showing you that I am faster than a runner." You stated believably.

"Uh-huh. Right, y/n." Newt looked at you with a small grin.

In the distance, you notice a tall, slim figure heading towards the box. The ends of your lips curled into a smile as you tossed your tools to the ground and jogged over to meet him.

It's time, you thought taking in a deep breath.
