Chapter 2

I am awake, though my eyes aren't open. The sun was seeping through the trees I don't want to open my eyes. Opening them would be admitting that the confusing things that happened yesterday were true. I had no choice the boys were already awake and making heaps of noise.

"So are you going to explain this to me now?" i call out to Chuck as i get out of my hammock.

"Good morning Greenie." Chuck handed me some breakfast and began to explain.

"This place is known as the glade. The other boys here they are called the Gladers each boy is assigned to a task in different departments headed by a keeper. We are surrounded by a gigantic maze and inside well. There's these creatures called grievers that roam the maze at night. Those huge doors over there they close every day at sunset. That box you arrived in well call it 'The Box' it is in the same elevator that you arrived in. Every month we get supplies through there and a new boy is sent. We have never got a girl before most of us have been here for so long we don't know how to act. He's Thomas he was the one before you he discovered that for the last two years the graders were unsuccessful to solve the Maze he found the antidote to the Grievers painful sting can partially recover someone's memories. After just 2 days of being here. That's Newt he's the graders second in command. You will love him once you get to know him. Soon you will remember your name and until then we will call you greenie."

I was speechless the thought of being stuck here with no reason as to why. With deadly creatures living in this maze at night. All the emotions running through my body. The thought that I can't even remember the people I left behind.

"Don't let it get to ya two much greenie" Chuck said as he giggled. I sat there speechless with thoughts going through my mind as two how I would not think about it I mean were stuck here for god knows how long. My thoughts got cut off when I saw a group of 8 boys ran in thought the maze.

"Chuck who are they?"

"The graders that explore the maze are called the runners. And then there is Alby the leader of us graders he was put here first and for a whole month he was all alone. We don't know why we were put here and we don't know a way out. Come on I will introduce you to Thomas he came just before you did."

Chucked pulled my arm over to a tall beautiful boy.

"Hey I'm tho-" Thomas was interrupted by a very confident, loud Asian boy.

"Ha, guess you weren't lying about that girl. We actually have a girl" I didn't know what to think was I being complimented or should I be offended.

"What was I saying before I was rudely interrupted? My name is Thomas what is yours? Oh wait you probley don't remember... I... I'm sorry" I smiled at his cuteness, probably the first time I smiled all day.

"Ha-ha its okay Thomas don't worry I know what you mean."

"Good" he said with a smile. He's smile was making me feel so much better with this whole situation.
