Forever // newt// the maze runner fanfiction

chapter 15

For the next few days I tried out jobs. I was a builder, a slicer, a badger. Everything but I only wanted to be a medjac I told newt this numerous times. I told alby this numerous times but they insisted that i tried all the jobs. In the time I spent not working I would go and help out Jeff and Clint anyway. Trying to learn things from them. I would follow them around just a couple of steps behind them watching their every move. That sounds weird oh well.

They would sometimes actually call newt or chuck to get me to go away. But After a while they just ignored me or just gave up all together and taught me things. I learnt how to treat burns, cuts, broken bones, sprains.

Finally I had tried out all the jobs and I was still sure I wanted to be a medjac. The only job I didn’t try out for was running but that was because of my ankle. Although it had gotten better I still had a limp and can’t stand on it for over an hour.

Newt said he liked it because he could finally keep up with someone. Although he never really told me what happened to his leg I could see it hurt him. Not physically but emotionally. Like it brought up bad memories.

"Ada are you ready for the gathering?" Alby said as he walked with me towards homestead.

"I don’t see why you don’t just let me be a medjac." I said as I turned to him and fluttered my eyelashes.

"Ha ha very funny. But you need to try out every job." he said pushing me through the double doors of the homestead.

"But I did. And I was rubbish at all of them apart from medjacs." I said huffing as more and more keepers walked in filling up the seats.

"You aren’t still going on about being a medjac are you?" A British accent came up from behind me.

"So what if I am at least I’m good at it." I said stomping my good foot mockingly.

"Did you just-" alby said and Newt interrupted him.

"That’s it." he said grabbing my waist he started to tickle me and I thrashed around and tried to get him of.

"Are... you... sorry?" he said as he span me around still tickling me.

"NEVER." I shouted and instantly regretted it as he tickled me more. I screamed and alby grabbed my hands as newt continued to tickle me.

"Are you sorry?" he asked again his hands hovering above my waist.

"N..." he started tickling me and I burst into fits of laughter. “I’m... sorry okay." I said and him and alby immediately let go and both walked over to their seats and sat down whispering something. I took a moment to regain myself before turning back to the keepers. Who of course were all staring at me. Newt and alby sat in the middle of them smirking at me. Great everyone saw that. I blush and quickly take my seat.

"Okay everyone you have all met our newbie Ada and you have tested her for a job. Accept Minho." Alby began and every one shut up and watched him all looking quite bored as they had done this for almost everyone.
