Morning hit, and I slowly got up from my crouching position, feeling every bone in my body crack. Ugh, what a night.
I stood still, trying to listen if I could still hear any mechanical sounds. Those monsters could still be out there, anyway. Okay, so far, so good. I started to run, remembering in my mind which path leads to where.
I needed to get out.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking. Seriously? After I ran from that thing you give me a fucking earthquake?!
"It stopped." I said to myself. Yeah, I talk to myself now. I started running again, still mapping out the maze in my mind. I took a sharp left turn and bumped into someone, causing me to fall on my butt. Whoever the fuck collided with me will- I bumped into someone. A person!
"What the shuck! Who the shuck are you?" Shuck? I looked up from my spot on the floor, and was faced with a snobby looking Asian kid who looked to be about 18 or something. I wonder how old I am.
"Hey Newt! There's a girl! A girl!" This Asian dude is starting to get on my nerves. "Aren't you gonna apologize for bumping into me?" I scowled as I pulled myself up. "Huh, excuse me, you're the one that bumped into me." I hate this guy already.
Just at that moment, a tall boy with messy blonde hair came running towards us. "What do you mean there's a bloody-oh!" His eyes lingered on me for a while, shock and confusion etched onto his features. He has a British accent, that I can tell. "Where the bloody hell did you come from?" He asked, walking closer to me.
"I woke up here, in this maze." I said, feeling the stare of the Asian dude on me. "We got to bring him-her, back to Alby." I stifled a laugh at the small correction the guy, Newt, made.
"Good that." Asian dude replied. Shuck? Good that? But I love English!
"Do you, uh, remember your name?" Newt asked as we ran. "Nah, can't remember anything." "That's normal for us Gladers." "Gladers?" He glanced at me and smiled. "You'll learn more about it later." I find his accent very comforting, despite the circumstances.
"Yes, just talk, the both of you. Ignore me." The crappy Asian guy called out from behind us. "Minho, shut the bloody hell up." Minho. Korean, maybe?
"Yeah, shut it asshole." I added on to what Newt said. "Oh, I see. Teaming with Newt, huh?" He asked suggestively, raising his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and ran faster.
"Welcome to The Glade." Newt said as we ran towards an opening, leading to a vast space of beautiful green grass. There were a few buildings, mostly made of wood. I also noticed that all of the people seemed to be boys, must be why Minho was so shocked to bump into me awhile ago.
"Wow, its like a small town." I chuckled. "See 'ya shuckface." Minho muttered as he ran past me, a smirk plastered onto his annoying face. "Shuck? What the hell does that mean?" I directed my question to Newt, who was no longer beside me.
"Hey! Come over here!" I heard him call. I jogged over to Newt, who was talking to a tall guy who looked older, and had dark hair, as well as dark skin. He looked nice, I guess. "I'm Alby." He said with a small smile. "She doesn't remember her name yet." Newt whispered to his friend, I gave him a smile of appreciation.
"Okay, where did you find her?" Alby asked Newt. "Inside the maze, she bumped into Minho out of nowhere." "She entered from somewhere, of course. That could be our way out."
I couldn't stop myself, so I just let the words flow. "Yeah don't ask me, I'm not here." Sarcasm dripped from my mouth as I rolled my eyes. "Okay, what happened?" Alby asked, ignoring my snobby attitude.
"You and Minho would get along bloody well." Newt snickered. "Yeah, he'll be bloody and I'll be well." I gritted through my teeth. I hate that guy. "Can someone answer my question?" Alby hopelessly sighed.
"Sorry. So yeah, I woke up in The Maze and can't remember anything. Encountered one of those mechanical monsters-" "A Griever?!" Newt interrupted. "That's called a Griever? Then yeah, I ran from it and hid in some ivy. Bumped into that Asian guy-" "Minho." Newt corrected me. "Yeah, him. Then I met Newt here and they brought me to this place. That's all I know." This British friend of mine has a really bad habit of interrputing me when I talk.
"You forgot my name?" I hate that voice. "Ah, Minho." Alby called. "Would you mind giving her a tour of The Glade? I have some really important things to tend to, its very busy this time of the day."
"Oh, no problem. I know she absolutely loves me." Minho smirked as he looked at me, pride radiating off of him. "This is gonna be a long day, might wanna lighten up a bit, shuckface." "With you around? That's impossible."
"Minho, couldn't you be kind for one bloody time?" Newt laughed as he walked away with Alby. "I'm perfect. Why change myself?" "Shut it asshole."
"Stop calling me asshole, shuckface." "If shuck is some kind of swear, then shuck you." "Shuck me? Didn't think we'll get that far, but sure." He winked. "UGH!" I threw my hands up in the air and trudged away from the annoying asshole.
"Can we just start touring? I wanna get away from you." He chuckled in response and started to walk ahead of me. Yeah he's right, this is gonna be a long day.
