"Hey," one of the Gladers called out. "What's that on the side of your neck?''

Aris tried to look down, "What?"

"What's it say?" Minho asked. He'd already gotten up from the bed and approached to look.

"What does it say?" Aris asked, pulling his shirt collar down. Then he got up and went to the bathroom, to try to see the words for himself.

"Read mine."

"You're Subject A-two," Newt started reading. Then he lowered his eyes.
