Sister of the Glade {The Maze Runner}

(this chapters being edited, ignore everything that seems funky lmao)

I come back to consciousness to the sound of voices around me, about four different people by the sound of it. I pry open my eyelids, and stare at the ceiling made of rough wooden planks to give them time to adjust to the bright sunlight.

I wake up to the whispering around me, able to make out four voices. I open my eyes and let them adjust to the bright sunlight.
"Well good morning there, love" Newt says, directing my attention towards him.
My face scrunches in confusion as I try to remember what happened before I woke up here.
"What happened?" l ask.
"My beautiful face was too much for you to handle, so you passed out" He says jokingly with a smirk.
I deadpan at him, clearly not amused. Newt clears his throat and straightens himself out before explaining what really happened.
"You, uh, went down from the sudden shock," he says nervously. "Or that's what we think, our med-jacks aren't really top-notch."
l stand up from the bed, and make my way towards the door. Stopping by the door, l look back to see Newt limping his way towards where I stand. He steps around me and clasps his hands together.
"Okay," he says, "time for you to recieve the grand tour of our humble abode!"
The two of us walk a little further outside, and Newt points to the rickety structure that we just walked out of.
"This here, is the homestead. It's where most of the Gladers sleep, and where the med-jacks work."
We continue around "the Glade" as he's been calling it, and Newt points out places and people every now and then.
"That's the map room, only runners are allowed in there."
"Those trees are the deadheads, where we bury the dead, obviously."
"The box, where you and the rest came from."
"The animal pens, I'm going to hope for your sake that you don't get stuck there with the slicers."
I zone out as he continues talking. Why are we here? Surely we can't have been dropped here for no reason.
"And finally, that's the north gate." Newt says, effectively snapping me out of my thoughts.
Two fit-appearing people run out of the wall he's pointing to.
"Who are they?" l ask, curious. Newt just chuckles.
"Those are the runners- well, two of them. I'll introduce you when they're finished mapping their finds for the day."
-skip to intro cause I'm lazy-
Newt waves over the two guys from earlier to under the tree, where we're sitting. The taller boy pats my shoulder.
"Hey green bean, the names Minho." he says with a wink.
"I'm Thomas, thanks for arriving, you just got me promoted." The other boy tells me, chuckling.
l look at both of them, smiling. Different ways to introduce myself run through my mind before I scrap all of them and decide to go with the most casual introduction possible.
"I'm Charlie, but something tells me you know that already."
"Yep, you're sort of already famous around here. You know, being the only girl, and an attractive one at that."
We sit there silently before the whole glade filled with our laughter, attracting a few stares from passerby's. Newt glances at the other boys with us, before he stands up and grabs my hand.
"Well shanks, it seems that the party is about to start, with or without the guest of honor."
We all look over to see a bonfire glowing with people dancing around it. Gasping, l pull Newt over to the party with me. Right as we get there, someone hands Newt a jar of brown liquid. He takes a swig, then hands it to me. l put it up to my mouth, taking a big sip, immediately regretting it.
"What is that?" l ask, coughing.
Newt lets out a laugh before explaining.
"It's Gallys secret recipient, nobody knows what it is, but it gives a good buzz."
l take one more sip before running into the crowd to dance. The boys quickly part, giving me room, and watching me. Without looking, l grab someone's hands to dance with me, embarrassed to be the only one in the middle.
"How many of many did you drink?" Newts laughing voice asks.
It was then l notice that, somehow, l got another jar of Gallys mystery drink. Tomorrow's not gonna be fun.
