I woke up, and I found myself in a building that was dimly lit. I was still a bit confused about where I am. I was lying on a makeshift cot, or bed. Whatever it was, it wasn't too comfortable, I tried get up to examine the area until I heard some of the boys talking about something. I wasn't too sure what they were talking about, until I listened closer to what they were saying, "Alby, I swear she's going to give us problems." 'That sounded like the boy who tossed me out of that metal box?'
"Gally, I don't think that the greenie will do anything to anyone here." a boy spoke up trying to defend whoever they were talking about.
'Are they talking about me right now?' I thought to myself.
"Gally, Alby's right, she seems harmless." a british boy spoke up.
' The only "she" in the area is me, so they're talking about me....great.' I think to myself as I mentally, and physically, facepalm.
I felt the need to march in the other room and put in my opinion, but I decided not to. I went to get up and sneak out, until I heard one of the boys speak up, "Well, Gally, since you are against there being another girl here, then what exactly do you have in mind?"
I begin to get terrified about what Gally has in mind.
"Well, I say we put her in the maze, but only for the night. If the greenie survives then she stays." Gally said nonchalantly.
"Gally, you do realize that the only ones who survived a night in the maze was Thomas, Alby, and Minho right." My heart just about stopped, they're putting me in the maze, where nobody survives. 'They're just joking right?' I thought to myself, as I just slowly pace in a single area in front of the makeshift cot/bed. "Ok, Gally, tomorrow at noon, before the walls close, is when the greenie goes in." Alby said . "Alby you're really supporting this, at least give the girl a chance?!" Newt said with anger and concern lacing his voice. "The decision is final, tonight we celebrate the arrival of the greenie then tomorrow at noon before the walls close she goes in." The moment he said that the decision was final I felt a stray tear slip down my cheek. I was sad, and also scared, because they never gave me a chance and overhearing them say nobody survives a night in the maze makes me terrified.
"Speaking of the greenie we should go check on her." Alby said trying to change the subject. I quickly, and quietly, rushed to get on the makeshift cot. I lay my head down on the cot I hear footsteps getting close. I then realize that I am wearing on a jacket and I tightened my hood over my head to keep my scarlet hair from showing. When the boys got in the room it looked as though I was still sleeping. "Seems like there won't be any celebrating tonight." Alby reassured Gally and Newt that I was still fast asleep. That was my sign to "wake up".I grunted while I got up then I stretched my arms, legs, and back, I kept my hood up just for safety reasons. "That was a fairly uncomfortable nap. Where the hell am I?" I say before turning around making eye contact with a new face. I recognized Alby and Gally from earlier today, but I never met with this boy, or any of the other boys to be exact, but this guy seemed like a complete sweetheart. I smiled at the new boy, he smiled back, and I felt like he was a brother to me. Then Alby says, "Well are you going to introduce yourself to the new greenie?" "Oh! Sorry my name is Newt," he said in an adorable British accent, "Alby you never told me that the new greenie was a small child." My eyes widened at the comment, more like an insult, about my appearance. Gally caught wind of what Newt said, he then bursted into laughter, holding his sides, almost falling on the floor. Alby just looked plain shocked at what Newt just said. "Newt," Alby began, "she's not a small child, she's just short. I never knew that you could be a bit rude to the girl." Then I heard Gally pipe in "Now THAT was shucking funny." Then I glared at Gally, crossed my arms, and snapped at him, "I don't know what is so funny about calling me a small child, Captain Eyebrows." "You little shank you're going to get it now!" He yelled, and went to go grab for my shoulder, and punch me, but he grabbed my hood instead revealing my long, wavy, scarlet hair. Alby, Newt, and Gally were shocked by my wild looking hair color. I casted my eyes to the floor, too sad and embarrassed, to even speak, so I put my hood back on my head, and took off running with tears falling from my eyes. "Greenie wait!" Newt tried to stop me, but I was already out of their eyesight. "Nice going Gally," Alby said angrily.
I ran to the entrance/exit of the hut. I ran past a few boys that looked a bit tired, but I didn't care about them, I just ran towards the only place that looked remotely vacant which was the trees. As I was running to the grove of trees I ran into Teresa and we both fell. All of the boys stopped what they were doing, because they heard a scream, and they all rushed to see what was going on.
"Ouch! Watch where you're going shank!" Teresa snapped, not knowing it was me, then she looked over at me, and she was by my side in a second.
"Hey, hey now, it's okay greenie." She said trying to sooth me and my crying.
"Nothing's going to be okay," I wailed with tears cascading down my dirtied cheeks."I can't even remember my name!"
"Like I said greenie it's okay, the memory loss thing, it happened to all of us we don't know if we have a family." Teresa said with some sadness lacing her voice.
"Really?" I ask as I wipe the tears from my cheeks and under my eyes.
"Yup, everyone here has no memory of what their life was like before all of this. Plus it's nice to have another girl around here to talk girl stuff."
With that last statement I giggled and hugged Teresa, then I realized that the guys are surrounding us.
As if on cue I heard Gally "What are all you shanks just standing around for!? Get back to work!" practically yelling at the other boys to get back to work. He looked in my direction with pure rage in his eyes. My eyes widened with fear and I began to get up to run, but didn't. I might as well take my punishment now and get it over with. I hoped for the worst, but the worst never came. Gally stopped a few inches in front of me. As his hot breath was hitting my face, I slowly tried to back away from him. He noticed, and grabbed a fistfull of my shirt, he cocked his fist back, then stopped. He then noticed everyone was watching, so he let go of my shirt.
