Next (maze runner, Newt fanfic)

Welcome Annabelle

"Well Annabelle it's great to have you. Now you pretty much know everything and everyone else does about yourself. " he said and chuckled slightly.

"Minho, can you tell me one thing?" I asked

"Sure greenie" he said

"Annabelle." I reminded him

"You're still the greenie but continue" he said

"What do I look like?" I asked him. It has been bothering me all afternoon as I walked around being intimidated by Newt, even though he is the sweetest guy I have met today.

"You look like the shuckiest shuck face I've ever seen" he said and stomped his foot.

"Seriously." I said and smiled, the first actual genuine smile of the day.

"Well you've got fairly light brown hair and its long but you can obviously see your hair, really light blue eyes, and you're kinda tan." He said and looked into my eyes as if he was reading my soul.

"Thanks" I said and looked down.

"Seriously your eyes are incredible." He said.

"Well thank you Minho"

"Come on Annabelle. You don't want to miss the party just for you do you?" He asked me

"Yeah kind of" I said honestly.

"Too bad you don't get to. Let's go, everyone needs to meet Annabelle." He said and I got up to follow him.

We walked back to the big bonfire. There some boys fought, some say around and ate and some just talked. Everyone looked to be having a great time though. Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad? I mean Newt is really nice and so is Minho. Maybe I'll make it.

"Everyone I would like to introduce a-" Minho started.

"Shuck it Minho we've already met the greenie" Alby huffed.

"Annabelle, my name is Annabelle" I said

Ally turned around and smiled "welcome Annabelle" then everyone erupted into cheers, I felt my cheeks heat.

Boys started to make toasts with this weird yellow liquid. I didn't really have anyone to talk to so I just sat down. "Greenie" someone said, so I looked up, I had gotten used to people calling me greenie and I have a feeling they are going to continue until I'm not the greenie anymore.

I saw Minho and some others sitting across the fire. I waved and smiled, Minho is nice, I wonder why I didn't meet him until a few minutes ago.

"Annabelle." I heard an accent call, and I know it's Newt standing behind me.

"Hey Newt" I said as smiled, he said down next to me. He has one of those cups with the strange yellow liquid in it too.

"Here do you want some?" He asked handing the cup to me.

"What is it?" I asked

"Gally's secret recipe" Newt said. I raised my eyebrows at him, but never took my eyes off of him. The way the light of the fire reflected off of his skin made him look even better than he usually did. Wait what? Don't think like that; this guys could banish me at any second because he has that much power.

"I haven't met Gally" I said and smelled the drink, it didn't really have an odor to my dismay.

"Well then you're the bloody luckiest shank in the glade" newt said and chuckled.

"That bad?" I asked, if newt thought he was that bad- chances are he's pretty bad.

"Well he has good intentions" Newt said and I laughed "but the drink is good"

I nodded and took a sip of the drink. The taste immediately made me gag and burned the back of my throat "that's disgusting" I said and wiped my tongue on my shirt.

"Really? I don't think it's half bad" newt said and took another swig of the drink.

Alby started flashing his light, signaling it was time for us to all go to bed. "Where exactly am I sleeping?" I asked.

"I talked to Alby and he said you could stay in the empty room in the homestead"

"Does that mean I won't be in a hammock?" I asked

"Yes" he replied

"Thank goodness" I said, relieved I would soon have a bed to sleep in. "Do you know where the room is?" I asked, even though he obviously knows where the room is

"Actually right next to mine, neighbor" he said and stuck his arm into my side, pushing me slightly.

"Oh no, not neighbors with you." I said and stopped walking "are you sure there isn't a Room open next to gally?" I could tell gally got under Newts skin, which is why I said it.

"Ha-ha. I'm positive" Newt said and looked forward, emotionless. Gosh Annabelle, why do you have to be so stupid?

We walked through a wooden building "we keep the sick and wounded in this floor, and the rooms are upstairs" newt told me as we walked through the main hallway downstairs. We walked up the stairs, to the second floor and walked to the end of the hallway. There, a smaller hallway branched off containing two doors. "Here we are, this room is yours" he said pointing to a door. "And if you need anything I'll be right next door."

I smiled because Newt seemed nervous, and if anyone should be nervous its me. "Thank you so much Newt" I said

"Get some sleep, tomorrow you have a lot of work to do since you'll be trying out jobs" newt reminded me.

I sighed "alright. Goodnight newt"

"Goodnight Belle" he said and I walked inside my room with a grin plastered on my face because of the nickname he had just given me.

Inside the room I looked around, there is a bed that could fit two people and a dresser/ desk with drawers. The room is fairly small but it felt so good to be alone without people staring at me I just sat down on the bed and let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in.

I walked over to the drawers, which were filled with clothes, Mostly boy clothes. I picked out the softest shirt I could find to sleep in.

I took off the shirt I was in and folded it and set it on the desk. I looked down at my brown sports bra. I noticed something just at the bottom of my ribs. I rubbed it, as if it were dirt I was trying to get off. However it didn't come off.

I looked at it by the light and saw it was a tattoo, written across the bottom of my rib is 'Group A, subject A12, Lost & Found'
