JUST SOME RANDOMNESS BEFORE EVERYONE WAS SENT INTO THE MAZE!
NEWTS POV
A series of loud knocks sounded at my door. I rubbed sleep from my eyes and rolled over to look at the clock sitting on my bedside table. 1:00 a.m.
What was WICKED up to now? Were they doing some weird late night 'training' for whatever they were going to do to us? I didn't understand why they were forcing thirteen year old kids like me to do calculus and run a mile each day.
I dragged myself out from under the covers and walked across the cold floor to open the door.
Instead of seeing one of the WICKED people at the door, I saw Minho, holding a flashlight and some keys.
"Why are you waking me up at one a.m.? It better be for a bloody good reason," I said, squinting at the flashlight.
"Oh don't you worry. You'll thank me later," said Minho, with his signature smirk. He started to walk down the corridor, motioning for me to follow him. I rolled my eyes and ran to catch up with him.
He got to the girls side of the dorms and knocked on one of the doors. Our friend, Ada, who was a year younger than Minho and I stepped out and glared at us.
"Qu'est-ce vous faites?" She said, slipping into French. "Sorry. I was on a really good part of my book! Whatever you're about to do better be good," she said. She smoothed down some of her hair that was sticking up and followed Minho, who was already walking away.
"Just one more person," said Minho, walking a few doors down.
"Why exactly did you wake us up for your 'mission'?" asked Ada.
"Well, you see, you, Newt and my final candidate are people who will actually do this with me and I like all of you," he said, doing a little spin, pointing us as the door was opened up a crack.
"Minho, what do you want?" asked a quiet voice that belonged to Minho's 'final candidate', Jane.
"I want you to come with us," said Minho, opening the door all the way.
"If this is another one of your pranks, then I'm not interested," said Jane, narrowing her eyes. Some of Minho's pranks included gluing people to toilet seats, flooding peoples rooms and one incident of attempting to light a fire cracker inside the building. All ended with very angry WICKED people.
"No, it's nothing like that, I promise," he said, earnestly.
Jane sighed and stepped out of her room. Minho grinned and led down a bunch of hallways to a door labeled ROOF ACCESS.
He pulled out the key ring that he was holding and unlocked the door.
"Where did you even get that?" asked Ada.
"I have my ways," Minho said, slyly.
"Don't they keep this door locked for a reason?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess," said Minho. "But rules are meant to be broken!"
Jane groaned. "You are so immature," she said.
"We're the same age," said Minho.
"Girls mature faster," said Ada.
"What? No!" said Minho.
"Yes, is scientifically proven, they did a study!" she countered.
"Who did this 'study'?"
"I read about it!"
"Guys!" I cut them both off, "Are we going to do this?"
Minho looked at all of us. Ada nodded, eagerly. Jane let out a sigh and nodded her head.
"Okay, fine I'm in," I said.
Minho clapped me on the back. "That's the spirit! Now lets go!"
He swung open the door. We were greeted by a blast of warm air and the scent of ashes on the breeze.
We all stepped out the door into a shaft. A ladder ran up one of the walls.
"Ladies first," said Ada, smirking at Minho.
"Shut up," said Minho, lightly punching Ada's arm, then stepping into the shaft. Ada followed him, I came up next and Jane came last.
"Like the view?" asked Minho. I could actually hear him smirking when he said that.
"There's a spider on your foot," I shouted up to him, knowing how much they creeped him out.
"WHAT?!" he yelled, shaking his foot. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!"
All of us were laughing as Minho freaked out.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" he yelled.
"You're so gullible!" said Jane.
"Wait... what?" said Minho, slowly putting the pieces together. "Newt, you're gonna pay for that!"
We all continued climbing until we reached the roof. We pulled ourselves over the edge and looked down.
We could see the forest for miles and mountains in the distance.
"I'm glad we don't live in the Scorch," said Ada in a hushed voice. I'd heard stories about the Scorch and how it was completely burned. How it was filled with those Cranks. I was glad that I was safe here.
I took in the night, relishing the gentle breeze on my skin. I looked over and saw Ada sticking her head off the roof and staring down.
"Aren't you worried that you'll fall?" I asked.
"Nope!" she shouted, her voice sounding distant. I walked over to the edge and looked over. The ground looked so far away.
Suddenly, I felt a push, then a pair of arms grabbed me before I could begin to fall. I turned and saw Minho gripping my shoulders.
"I told you that you would pay!" he said.
"Yeah, thanks for the heart attack," I said, a laughed.
"That'll teach you to joke about spiders!" said Minho.
"There's a spider on your head!" yelled Ada, her head still sticking off the roof.
"Haha funny. Watch it or you're next," said Minho.
"Oh, I'm so afraid," said Ada, sitting and dramatically putting her hand over her heart.
We sat on the roof and talked and laughed. At four a.m. Jane forced us to go back and get some sleep.
During the day, I was tired out of my mind but it was worth it.
