!!DISCONTINUED!! Into The Maze - The First Girl - Newt x Reader x Minho

Chapter 4

Before I know what's happening, I'm hoisted onto the shoulders of the boys as they all cheer and whoop excitedly.

"Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!" They chant, as they parade me around the bonfire. 

I laugh all the harder, and wriggle around until they set me down once more, still cheering loudly.

Alby comes over, grinning, and surprises me by pulling me into a hug.

"Good job Greenie," he says as he pulls away, and I grin right back, feeling as though I won't ever stop smiling.

Then he holds a backpack out to me, and I take it in surprise. "It came up in the Box with you," he tells me, forstalling my question. "Every Greenie comes up with a bag of their stuff. Don't worry; I didn't let anyone look through it."

I thank him and step away, setting the pack down on a log to open it. The first thing I pull out is a strange device, with buttons and dials all over one side.

"What's that?" I look up, Minho is standing next to me. 

"No idea," I say, but even as the words leave my tongue, I know they're not true. "No, I do know what it is! It's a radio, and it plays music."

I Press down on the 'On' button, and quiet music starts to play. I fiddle around with it for a few seconds until I find the volume dial. Twisting it all the way around, I can finally make out the words of the song.

**I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams **

I grab Minho's hand, "Come dance!" I cry, and lead him over to the bonfire, the music still playing from where I left the radio on the log.

He pulls his hand out of mine and shakes his head. "Oh no, you're not getting me to dance anytime soon." I frown at him, but then I hear a voice from beside me, "I'll dance with you, Y/N."

I look around to see Gally. I look at him in surprise for a few seconds, then grin. "Let's go then!"

I have no idea how to dance, and neither does Gally, so we just do whatever we want, and soon the rest of the Gladers join in.

**Oh
Oh and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh
Oh and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong **

We continue to sing and dance, leaping and spinning however we want, and I never stop laughing, singing at the top of my lungs. 

I know this song word for word, and as I continue to sing, I remember other songs that I love. I file the names away in my mind for another day. There will be other days I can listen to them, I think to myself as I spin around and around.

**Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat because you're gonna sing the words wrong**

I make my way back over to the log, and flop down on the ground. Reaching behind me, I grab the radio, and am about to switch it off before I change my mind, letting the music continue to play. 

Placing it carefully on the ground next to me, I let myself slide down until I'm more comfortable and close my eyes.

I hear a rustling from beside me, and I crack one eye open to see Minho sitting down beside me. I shut my eyes again, tiredness overtaking me.

"That was fun," Minho's voice brings me back from the edge of sleep, and I heave myself up to look at him.

"Did you actually dance at all?" I ask him, and he looks over at me before returning his gaze to the fire.

"Yeah, after about the first verse I joined in."

"Mmmm, good," I mutter, and he laughs, ruffling my hair.

"If you're tired, you can go to sleep if you want."

I yawn and scoot over so I can lean my head on his shoulder. I feel him tense up for a second then he relaxes and gently pulls me closer to his side.

I hear him say something, but I can't make out the words as I drift off to sleep with him stroking my hair.

The song is 'Riptide' by Vance Joy.
