• Hailey's P.o.V •

"Throw 'em!" Alby shouted.

They threw sticks of fire into a big bomb fire and it lit up. I looked around having my arms over each other. Like I was hugging myself. They made their own drum beats on pots and pans with wooden spoons.

"Hey there Greenie." Someone poked my shoulder.

I turned around to see Newt. I smiled.

"Hi."

"You're different." He placed his arms over his chest.

"How so?" I smiled.

"You're curious, and not trying to be rude but different kinda accent voice." He stated.

"Like you?" I shot back and raised my brows.

He chuckled and shook his head, "Ok I see."

I smiled feeling accomplished with myself.

"Let me introduce you to everyone." He motioned me to walk with him.

We started walking around seeing everyone.

"There's Winston, Keeper of the Slicers. Clint and Jeff our two Med-Jacks. Our Track-Hoes who is ran by Zart. Which you'll begin there."

"What if I want to be a Runner?" I asked.

"What? No, nobody wants to be a Runner. The Maze is a dangerous place. Plus you have to be chosen." He stated crossing his arms.

"Chosen by-"

I got pushed and I turned around to see who pushed me. Gally.

"You wanna try Greenie?" He asked.

"Greenie! Greenie! Greenie!" They chanted making a circle.

"Alright Greeni, rules are simple Gladers make a circle around us and and I try to push you out. Last a minute." He stated.

He pushed me and I fell into the boys and they pushed me back up. I charged for him wrapping my arms around his torso pushing him back trying to. We let go and he fell to the ground and everyone was surprised.

"You know what, forget Greenie, you're a shank."

The boys started laughing.

"Not bad for Greenie, much less a g-"

He swung his leg under my feet and I hit the ground really hard. It sounded like a crack on my head. I groaned and realized something.

"Hailey." I said quietly. "Hailey." I stood up.

"I know my name! It's Hailey!" I exclaimed.

They all looked surprised then Alby pointed.

"Hailey!"

They all engulfed me in a big big group hug. I smiled and I looked up at the shoulder's owner. Newt. I smile and he smiled back.

"Welcome to the family, Hailey."

Newt and I sat against a log looking towards the Maze eating some food.

"Are you ok? That was a pretty hard fall Gally made you take." Newt looked at me still eating his meat.

"Yeah, I'm fine. My head hurts my Im ok." I shrugged.

He turned around, "You see those guys over there? Beside the fire? They're the Runners. That guy in the middle is Minho. He's the keeper. They run the Maze everyday mapping it trying to find a way out."
