Let me just start out by saying that these are all made up characters with different personalities than the original characters. Also the glade consists of boys and girls, but the same concept.
Chapter 1
There was something about being a maze runner that made life in the glade so much more interesting.
Victoria awakened with a sudden jerk, hearing the sound of her cabin mate Cassidy, who was a med-jack, snickering. The tan girl who slept on the cot next to her, Mya was just rolling her eyes with a grin, seeing Cassidy with the black pen.
"Oh no! Cassidy! Did you draw on my face again?!" Victoria asked soaring from the worn out cot.
"Maybe." Cassidy faced away crossing her arms.
"She did." Victoria turned to see Sam, at the sink, washing marks off her own face.
"Cassidy! I have to go running with Lucas today!" She yelled at her pleased friend, while racing to the mirror.
"HA! Oh I 'forgot' Lucas is still teaching you the rules of the maze, Greenie." Cassidy said grooming her short brown hair.
"Oh yeah, we won't be calling you green bean for long, a new person arrives tomorrow afternoon." Sam chimed in. Being here for a year now, she was one of the longest people to stay in the glade so far. Sam and Olivia are both builders, and Mya was a cook… best one around as a matter of fact.
Living in a ten person cabin can be both a blessing, and a curse. Most of the cabins have one or two of each job, the builders, sloppers, baggers, cooks, map-makers, track-hoes, blood housers, and runners.
Molly, their bagger walked out of the room and scowled at them all. She was defiantly the eeriest and scariest one out of the cabin, but for some strange reason, was very skittish at the same time, and had a bit of a stutter. Suppose there is something about picking up and bagging dead bodies that can scar you for life.
"Well, uh we better get to breakfast now, uh bye Molly." Olivia said visibly scared.
Just as they left the small cabin, they ran into Eve, the slopper of the cabin. Knowing Eve, they knew this would be an extended talk.
"Hey guys! Ha-ha wow Vic you are looking… artistic," Victoria turned red, remembering the marker still on her face. "Boy am I glad to see my buds again! I woke up extra early today to get ahead on my jobs!" Eve was a slopper, which meant that she could essentially do nothing. Sloppers tend to just do useless chores like cleaning bathrooms, and sweeping floors, because they couldn't do a real job to save their life.
"Uh, Eve… we have to eat so we can go work." Mya said going around the short red-head with bouncy curls.
"Yeah, some of us have real jobs to get to." Sam mumbled as they left.
...
After getting a plate of fresh waffles, the group parked under a large oak tree in the middle of the glade.
The five of them sat in silence until Lucas, Corbin, Allison, and Kate showed up. Allison is the map-maker, and Kate is the track-hoe, who works in the fields collecting crops and growing vegetables, and fruits.
Victoria straightened up when she spotted her running partner rambling towards them, and sit next to her.
"Ready for a long run today greenie?" Lucas said with a face full of waffle.
"Yup!" Victoria said gulping down some orange juice.
Corbin, who was also a runner in Lucas' cabin sat up and shoved a face full of waffle into his mouth "I'm excited because it's matts first day back since the changing" he said through his full mouth.
It got silent as they looked to the top of the building that held people that were sick or injured. Remembering Matt, who was stung by a griever, made Victoria cringe.
"Yeah but that's all over." Lucas said placing his arms around Corbin and Sam, who shook him off and gave him a look that told him 'hands off'. He slowly took his hand away and put it through his messy brown hair.
"Well we better get to work, Mya said brushing the dirt off her jeans.
"Yeah, we better stat now greenie." Lucas said patting her on the back.
"Oh yeah and Vic… you got a little something on your face." Corbin said referring to the marks. All she could do at this point was stick her tongue out. Cassidy, Sam, Olivia, Lucas, Mya, and Corbin all laughed. Cassidy the most.
Okay I know this is a really slow chapter, but things will speed up, as soon as they start running (haha get it?) which is in the next chapter. Please leave reviews I need the advice! We will get a bit more in depth on characters in a bit, but this next one is more about running with Lucas and Vic. Thanks for reading! I will update ASAP!
