As I walked behind Newt, I wondered how I was ever going to get him to fall in love with me. Love was a major thing. I had no control over his feelings. They put me in this maze and just tells me to make this boy in front of me fall in love with me. Easier said then done. In fact, I was beginning to think that this task was nearly impossible.

" We've never had a girl before," Newt said looking back to face me." For the two years that we have been here, only boys have come up in the box. Now a girl comes. Kinda make you wonder why all of sudden they said a girl."

" Is that such a bad thing," I asked." Me being a girl."

" Don't know," he said." Like I said we've never had a girl before."

" Can you remember anything, anything at all, before coming to the maze," he asked.

" Um ... no," I said. I was being way to calm for someone who had supposedly forgotten everything. What would someone like that really say." Why can't I remember anything." I added.

He shrugged his shoulders," Don't know," he said." Everyone who comes up in the box can't remember a bloody thing beside their name."

We walked for a few more moments before stopping at a house-like structure that contained a lot of hammocks.

" This is what we call the homestead," he explained." This is where everyone sleeps."

" Looks Homey," I lied. It was anything but homey.

He walked over to a one of the hammocks." We sleep in these hammocks," he said." They're not the most comfortable but its bloody better than the ground."

" Which one is mine," I asked.

" Gally will hang one up for you later," he explained." He's the keeper of the builders."

Play dumb." Whats a keeper," I asked.

" A keeper is what we call a leader," he said." Everyone in the glade has a job. Every job has a leader, which we call a keeper."

" What about me." I asked." What will my job be."

" We'll decide on your job tonight at the celebration," he said." Its a tradition we have every month after we get a new greenie."

I nodded.

We walked out a bit and Newt pointed to a house on the of the glade.

"That's the slaughterhouse," he said ." That's where the animals are raised and slaughter by the slicers. The keep of the slicers is Winston"

We walked over to the northeast part of the glade where their garden was.

" This is the garden," he said, then added unnecessarily"This is where we grow our food. All our vegetables and stuff."

We walked down a few rows before he added," The garden is tended to by the track-hoes. The keeper of the track-hoes is zart." He pointed at blonde boy who was bigger in build.

He pointed over to a section of woods. "Over there is what we call the deadheads."

" What is it," I asked.

" Its just a forest."

" I have one last thing to show you," he said and he led me over to the opening of the maze, which they called the doors.

"This is the maze," he explained his tone turning serious . " We only have three rules. Everyone does their part, never hurt another glader and never go outside the glade. Which means don't go into the maze."

" So no one ever goes into the maze," I asked him.

" No," he said." The only people who are allowed to go into the maze are the runners. They run it everyday. mapping it, trying to find a way out. The keeper of the runners is Minho."

" How long have they been looking for a way out," I asked. I hated asking so many questions. Especially when I already knew the answer.

" Two years."

" They've been looking for a way out for two years and still haven't found anything," I said forcing shock and disbelief in my voice.

" Its not that easy," he said." Every night these doors close and the maze changes. The walls move. You'll be able to hear it at night."

"What happens if someone besides a runner goes into the maze?"

" Then we punish them," he said." You break a rule, you get punished."

" Are there runners in there now," I asked.I groaned question was unnecessary. He had already said that the runner ran the maze everyday. The last thing I needed to do was to make me look dumb.

I waited for Newt to respond but all he was nod.

I changed the subject," So what's next," I asked.

" This is it," he said." I know you must be confused and all but you'll get used to everything. We all have."

" I..." I began but stopped when my stomach growled loudly. I realized that suddenly that I was extremely hungry. With all the prepping I did before coming to the maze, I realized that I neglected one thing. Eating.

" You hungry," Newt asked.

" Yeah, kinda," I said.

" We'll see if Frypan can fix you something real quick," he said and we began walking back to the homestead, which was where the kitchen was. One of the places Newt hadn't showed me.

We walked in silence. I had to say something. I was suppose to make him fall in love with me. But what was I to say." Newt," I began." Uh... Thanks for showing me around. It was really nice of you."

What a stupid thing to say. Now I was being all mushy.

" It was nothing,"he said.

I nodded, smiling at him.

I hadn't even been here a day and already I was off to a bad. I need to do some major thinking on how to get him to fall in love with me. However, for now all I wanted was for something to eat.

So there is finally the second chapter of my story. Again, I'm sorry for the terrible writing but I hoped you guys enjoyed nonetheless. Also, 10 reviews on the first chapter. I did not expect that many.

I had meant to post the second chapter a couple days after I posted the first one but things happened. Also, a heads up for everyone. There is a really good chance that I may not post chapter 3 until December .November is 5 days away and as many writers know November is also known as NaNoWriMo. For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it is a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November.I will be participating for the first time this year , so I will not have a lot of time to post another chapter. Though I may try but no promises.
