A pale, young woman walked in a long, poorly lit hallway. Even though she had slight Asian features, her eyes were quite large and had a deeply lost look. She was short and dangerously thin, with long, straight black hair that waved on her back to her hips. Her lips were full and red like cherries, which made her porcelain doll look even more realistic.
She was walking barefoot, wearing only a light hospital vest with a stamp of golden letters on the right side of her chest: W.C.K.D. \\ Subject 09. The girl's gaze was set upon the Entrance of an elevator, with rusty bars and various supplies. In a few seconds, the girl was in the middle of the Box, pressing gently a red button beside the gates.
As the elevator started to rise, the girl slowly turned her head around, observing the objects that surrounded her: there were some clothes, bandages, medical supplies, knives and a pair of shoes. A pretty small pair of shoes.
In that very moment, two tall and athletic boys came back from The Maze, one was a stout redhead and the other one was an Asian boy with strong arms and short, black hair. In the opposite direction, a slim, blond guy waited for the two patiently, staring blankly into space with a pair of big doe eyes.
The sun was burning hot on the Glade that day, and all the boys couldn't help but sweat and complain about the unforgiving weather. "What's up Newt?" the friendly redhead asked as the Glader threw him a water bottle.
"The Box's coming up guys, you might be in time to know the new Greenie by yourself" Newt suggested in his thick British accent, greeting the raven haired Runner a nod, getting his usual sassy smile as a reply. There was a kind of awkward tension among the three boys, like a common bad presentiment.
"Let's go take a look then." Minho said in the end, breaking the strain and starting to walk towards the Elevator, right followed by the Redhead and then the boy with the limp. "Hey George, what about a new pair of shoes, huh? Those look so bloody over-used" Newt joked at the tall runner, which gave only a shrug as a response.
When the three guys reached the small crowd around the Box, a black young man approached them with a concerned expression. "It was about shucking time, you slintheads." he said, drawing down his braces and pointing at the rusty box with his eyes. "What's your shucking problem, man?" Minho frowned at the coloured guy, obviously not liking his greeting.
The boys were massed all around the Box, and without taking a proper look on the inside, anyone could tell that there was a general shock going on. "My problem?" the young man echoed the other Glader's question, taking a step forward, Newt and George were going to intervene between the two, but everything was stopped, before even starting, in that very moment by another black guy, who looked the oldest among the Gladers.
"It's not the right time to fight, guys, we have another problem here." He said in a low tone before moving some boy away from the Box to show them and revealing something unexpected. Everyone went quiet for a couple of minutes to acknowledge that moment, before starting a general chorus of surprised voices and catcalls.
"Bloody Hell!"
"How did she even..."
"God she's cute."
" I didn't need a cutie, I needed a Builder."
"Oh shut up Gally, just look at her."
"Yeah man, who the shuck needs a builder when you have this?"
"I need a moment."
"What is this supposed to mean?"
"I'm sure she'll become a Med-Jack."
"Chill, Jeff. I bet she can't even pick a twig up."
"Oh man, I can stay here all the time you want."
"Okay guys, shut up now. We shouldn't joke about it." the black boy shouted at them, bringing order back. The only one who didn't make even a comment was the Asian Runner, who stayed quiet all the time. He simply stared at the girl standing in the middle of the box with a confused look on a pretty pale face. Oh, without mentioning that she was wearing only a short (too short), light (too light)hospital garment.
GIRL'S POV:
Her eyes squeezed as the sunlight hit her big dark eyes, with an excited vibration that ran along her whole spine. As the elevator's manhole opened, the girl saw a bunch of funny, friendly looking faces staring at her, each one of them with a unique surprised expression for their self.
Every face disappeared, though, when she met a pair of eyes like hers: a beautiful pair of almond shaped eyes, black as coal and deep as a black hole. The girl grasped for air, as if she came back from a never-ending run. Her heart was skipping too many beats. Slowly, she lowered her head and sighed profoundly, trying to formulate a meaningful question, but a tough, black guy anticipated her.
"Hey Greenie. I'm Alby. We don't see many girls around here y'know." he smiled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "But you're here now, so, huh, Welcome to the Glade." The girl shot him a naive, yet intimidating look, and the boy started to freak out. "Do you understand me?" he asked in concern.
'Is he serious?' the girl wondered to herself, taking a brief look around her if anyone seemed to have doubts about her provenance. Every boy around the box's rims was staring curiously as her, waiting for an answer; it was like if Alby was detonating a bomb with his words, and she was the bomb.
"Y-yes. Of course. "the girl finally spoke out, breaking that invisible glass wall between her and the gladers. "Oh, thank God." she heard the black guy whispering under his breath. "Can you tell us your name? Do you remember anything?" a blond limping boy intruded in the awkward conversation between the two.
"Name's Newt. Maybe we should make you get out of the bloody Box, yes?" he proposed with an irresistible smirk, lending a hand to the girl. 'Where am I? What is this place? What am I supposed to do here?' the girl felt like she was going to burst out in tears in front of every damn boy around her, and that didn't sound much like a nice first impression.
Suddenly, her mind was fogged, her head started to ache so much that she had to kneel down in a shooting pain, causing a state of general panic. It was like if ten thousands needles were thrown in her brain, and after that the crying of hundreds and hundreds of children voices irrupted savagely to make it explode.
"STOP IT!" the young woman cried out loud, tears rushing down her soft cheeks as she contorted herself in fright and grief . The guys were staring at her, completely terrified. "Do something, you shuck faces!" a voice shouted in the crowd, a voice that never spoke before, the voice of the Asian guy.
"Med-Jacks!" Newt called out for them, keeping firmly his gaze on the girl. She looked like she was going to be torn out in small tiny pieces, and her screaming certainly didn't help. After a couple of minutes, a handmade stretcher came out of the mob with two guys holding it and another small boy with some pills on his palms.
Quickly, Minho and the red headed guy jumped into the Box and lifted her up on the stretcher. The hospital garment dripping sweat copiously, and her back arched in an unnatural way. "PLEASESTOP IT, PLEASE..."she kept shouting, a black guy with thin arms had to tie her up so that she didn't fall off the gurney.
Her vision was blurred and her mind was completely fogged , she couldn't distinguish people's faces anymore and she couldn't even speak. After being taken to what looked like an Infirmary, the girl lost almost totally her senses and the pain had taken the control over her. Every single bone or muscle she had in her body ached in a monstrous way and after several hours of suffering, the unknown girl finally fainted.
