My eyes fluttered open to the sound of the doors opening. A deep sigh escaped my lips as I stretched and flung my bare legs over the edge of the edge of my creaky bed.

Today was the day the box would come up again with another teenage victim. I still had a bet going with Minho in that I think the next one is going to be a girl. Seeing as I've been the only girl for 2 years in this hell hole. Once I changed into my work clothes and boots I tied my hair up and made my way out of my room and down the hall past all the bedrooms.

" Mornin' Princess!" Newt exclaimed from across the homestead. "Hey.." I tried my best to give a friendly smile as I carried on walking across the field. "What's wrong love?"
I said nothing but just shrugged my shoulders and stayed silent until we made it to breakfast with the others.

I took my plate from Fry, thanking him and sat in silence, hardly eating anything. Clint and Jeff all came and sat with me during breakfast and discussed was the plan was for today in the Med Hut.
I pretended to listen to every detail when really i just wanted to go back to bed and ignore everyone.

-3 Hours Later-
I was stitching up the arm of a builder who though it would be a good idea to balance on a roof with a saw in his hand. Idiot fell down and the saw cut his arm.
"T, once your finished with stitching up Brian could you help me with this shelf?" Jeff asked
I looked up and nodded and got back to my delicate work.
The familiar sound of the box coming up echoed throughout the glade. A new greenie was always heart breaking. Seeing another innocent person get sent into this pit.

I could see the gladers gathering round the box entrance and the runners got back from the maze. Minho and Ben made their way to the mapping room as Jeff and I walked out of the Med Hut to get the the box.

I stayed as the back of the crowd and just waited like everybody else. The tension began to get quite high as the box was taking longer than usual. Newt came up from behind me still looking bubbly like this morning.
" What d'you think is taking so long?" I asked
"Not sure. It'll be the same as always though T."

Minutes had passed until there was a massive thump noise as all of our heads jerked up.

Gally and Zart opened either side of the cage. All the boys that could see the greenie looked down with liaughter and started heckling. Eventually Gally jumped down into the box and grabbed the greenie and tossed him out of the box. I only caught a quite glimpse of him before the boys surrounded him.

He stayed on the floor for a few seconds before getting up and started to sprint for the dead heads. Not the most ideal place for the newbie to see first.

"Looks like we have a potentially new runner." Newt said.
"Mmh."
"Why don't you go after him? A bit of feminine comfort might help him settle."
I death glared Newt as I shoulder shoved his arm. But a slight smile crept its way into my face.
" I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and talk to him."
