"You're sure you know the procedures?" I ask Clint yet again as I prepare to go off into the maze. I can't risk anyone needing my help while I'm out there.
"Yes, Beth. You do realize we survived before you arrived, right?" He says jokingly. I give him an "Oh, really?" look.
"Well, most of us did," He laughs solemnly.
"Just... don't... don't screw up. Please," I advise.
"We'll be fine. Just go out and have fun," Clint says.
"Thank you; can we please go, Beth?" Minho complained. I sigh.
"Yeah, let's get going." I agree. He smiles and shoves a backpack in my hands. We run outside and to the open doors. I hold my breath as we approach them. I feel a wave of excitement and nervousness wash over me.
"Ya ready, shank?" Minho smirks at me.
"I'm not really sure, but I think so?" I joke. We laugh. "Of course I'm ready, let's just go-"
"Beth!" Someone shouts across the Glade. I frown and glance over my shoulder.
"Newt, what are you doing here?" I cross my arms to show that I won't change my mind.
"I don't want to stop you, don't worry. I just want to give you this..." He pulls his hoodie off his waist and gives it to me.
"Why do you-"
"I'll feel better if you have something of mine. Something to help keep you safe," He convinces. I smile down at the hoodie in my hands.
"Thank you. But don't worry, you'll see this back at the end of the day," I wink and pull it over my head.
"Let's go!" I shout and run into the maze, not looking back.
