WICKED games (Newt x female reader) [COMPLETED]

6

*twenty-six months later*

The blaring alarm of the box wakes me. Great, a new Greenie.

There are twenty-seven of us now, although I'm still the only girl. Greenies are what we started calling the newbies that come up from the box, I don't really know why.

I jog to the box, grabbing the ladder and rope on the way.

"What's up." I say to Newt, my best friend and the guy I've been in love with for months.

"Hey," he says in his funny British accent, giving me a friendly smile. Newt's smile is one of the best things in this goddam maze.

I fasten my ladder to the hinge and poke my head over the edge of the box, taking a look at the Greenie.

"Where am I?" He asks.

"Welcome to the Glade," I say, "I am (Y/N)."

"Right," he says, "my name is Chuck."

Chuck looks to be the youngest Greenie we've ever had, probably around 12-13

"Can I have a hand getting out of here?" he asks, and I realise I was staring at him.

"Right, yes, sorry." I say, tossing one end of the rope down, "you'll need to help us get the supplies up first, it's easiest this way. Just tie that end around them and we'll pull them up."

He does so and we all work to pull the supplies up. When we're done I let the ladder unravel and Newt climbs up it, taking my hand when I offer to help him up. I give him a firm hand shake and he returns it.

"Before you say anything," Alby says, "(Y/N) is our great leader and her word is law."

"Alby I'm not-"

"Shhhhhhh you are." Grins Minho and I roll my eyes.

"Just go do your jobs, I'll show him round."

"So," I say as we walk towards the barn, "This is the Glade." He nods, "This is where we eat, sleep, work and basically just live. As you can see we are surrounded by walls, which lead to a giant Maze. At the moment-"

"Wait," Chuck interrupts me, "did you say a giant maze?"

"That I did, now anyway,"

"No wait," he says and I turn to where he's stopped, a little line wrinkling his forehead, "how big are we talking?"

"Thousands of kilometres. I will explain if you let me."

"Woah." He whispers, and I find that despite  myself, I already find that I really like this guy.

"Um yes, right, giant maze. We're surrounded, but some of the less-sane shanks in here explore it during the day." I grin and Chuck smiles tentatively too. "We all have jobs, that's how this thing works. For example, I do the gardens."

Chuck nods, and we come to the gardens.

"These are the gardens, we grow all our food here, nice and fresh."

"Did you grow all this?" Chuck asks, and I shake my head.

"Nah, it was all here when I came up."

"Huh, that's cool."

"Yeah," I say, "and we can write down stuff we want on a bit of paper when the box goes down and it's in the next week's supplies. Once," I grin, "when I first got here I asked for a fridge for the milk, egg, meat you know, but I just got an eksy which isn't too bad. Minho wanted a television too, but they didn't give us that."
