Newt, Minho and I walk back to our rooms, laughing, mucking about. After Newt and I say bye to Minho, we walk back to our room. When we get in I say.
"I can take the floor, I don't need a sleeping bag. It's quite hot."
"You sure? I can take the floor, you've had a long day."
"Newt, it's fine. It's not like I'm going to sleep much anyway."
"Fine then! If your not going to take the bed and refusing for me to take the floor, we can share the bloody bed!"
"If we are we're doing top and tail."
"Fine." Well that settles it. I take a pillow from the top of the bed and place it at the bottom of the bed. I climb in the bed, I can already feel sleep pulling me in, before I fall asleep I ask Newt something.
"Newt can I ask you something?" I asked
"Sure." He replied
"How long have you been here?" I gesture around with my arms.
"A year the day you came up, why?"
"It's odd, I've been sent here a year the day that the first person came up. Do you think that's a coincidence?"
"I don't know, we're going to discuss it tomorrow at the gathering."
"You've still not told me what a 'gathering' is." I state.
"A gathering is when the keepers and before you ask a keeper is like the boss of a job, and the leader or leaders of the Glade. Alby and me. At the gathering, we discuss things that might not add up, like having you appearing in the Glade." He says, wow that really clears things up.
"Thanks, I feel so special when you say it like that." I laugh
"Your jacked in the head." He chuckles.
"G'night Newt."
"Night greenie."
"OW!"
"Whoops, I missed your face!" After I 'accidentally' kicked him in the shins.
"I'll get you later, greenie."
"Do you seriously want another kick? You'll learn not to call me that."
"Ok, night." He says just before I drift off to sleep.

I'm sitting on a bed in a pure white room, a secret door opens and a man walks in with two guards.
"Hello Alex."
"A.D Janson." I reply curtly.
"It's nearly time, as you know, for you to go into the maze. You'll be sent up in a couple of hours." He says with a creepy smile on his rat-like-face.
"No! I won't go! You can't make me! I want to go home! I want my family!" I cried
"Your going, whether you like it or not. You will follow my silently and do what we tell of you, am I clear?!" He shouts at me while I'm so close to screaming. I won't go, I want to go home. To Scotland. I look up and nod my head.
"Good lets go." He briskly walks out and I'm dragged out by two guards. I'm led into a room with a table with straps on it and a tray with a needle filled with a see-through liquid. I start screaming and crying even harder. I dumped on the table and the restraints put over me. This makes me even more hysterical, I start to kick out and I feel a sharp nip in my arm. All I hear before I black out is,
"WICKED is good."
****************************************************************************************************************
I wake up from my nightmare screaming and lashing out.
"Alex! Alex! Calm down! It's just a nightmare!" Newt's voice brings me back to reality. I hear the door burst open and I look around and see Alby and the other keepers standing in the doorway and armed to the teeth, literally, with weapons.
Alby shouts," what's going on?! Is anyone hurt?!"
"Sorry guys, just a nightmare. Go back to sleep." I say
"How can we sleep you screaming bloody murder?" Alby says a bit harshly
"Just try?" My voice goes a octave higher at the end of it. the other gladers grumble and trudge back to their rooms.
"Are you ok?" Newt asks me out of concern.
"I'm fine, just I don't want to go back to sleep."
"Just try." Newt says with a chuckle. Not long after he says that, I finally go back to sleep.
